Look in the color palette in GIMP (of your 16 colors) and select the color at the top left and color the background with it.
Should make the background transparent

Hey Brapus.

I was considering how I would proceed with making a hydra.
Perhaps it would be easier to base it of an already existing unit?

Unless it's spelt diffently in different languages shouldn't it be Hydra.

Anyway it should look good once cleared up a bit, try putting a thin black line around the hydra (look at the merc calvary in that picture they have a thin black line to make them stand out), I think slightly darkening the image may make it look better.

Cool to see such a huge monster in Dark Omen! There was one in SotHR, in one dungeon level there was this dragon, only its head and neck were in the level, but it was huge nonetheless, so I think huge monsters would be really fun, and on that note, Olly has this long-time dream of adding Giants to the game.

hello i have a problem, , i made a hidra and after i finish the work with paint and save to 16bit, when i pasted it to gimp it appeared like black, all big black rectangle, then i changed it to 24 bit , and select violet pixel from de hidra and paint all the backround with it, so after pasting in gimp i would change the colour to green. the problem is that i cant! i cant select the colour map, when i put it, nothing appears,and when i go to colour/map, the reordenate option and establish colour one, are grey, so what its going on here?
 because if i just paint the backround with green, i have 17 colours, and cant import to rdose

Looks good for a hand drawn, original sprite and since it is the first Frame then just copy and paste(will have to cut along the outline) into a new Green Sprite background, to reduce the colours to 16 etc..

This will be so cool to see on the Battlefiled when completed, Keep up the great work!

Don't know, but I guess because of colour subsitution? You may have a different pallette in the sprite file?
