Um, look, I've been using Gimp for a while now, and I desperately wish someone would just go ahead and spell out exactly how to create and save transparent/invisible pixels in a .PNG file in Gimp.
It appears to be one of those things that is so easy and fundamental that everyone who knows assumes everyone else knows.
Unfortunately, I'm part of "everyone else". Someone please explain it to the ignorant?

Just select the region you want to be transparent and hit the delete key. It should be replaced by a checkerboard pattern representing the transparent part of the texture.
If you've opened up an existing .png file to edit in Gimp, Gimp should automatically save it in a format that preserves the transparency. If you're starting from scratch, saving as a .png file and choosing the default options should preserve the transparency as well.

The available space is great! It allows more creativity! Check out my skins for more examples of what to do in the free space. Helmuts, hats, hair accessories, or just bigger hair! You name it!

Thanks so muct posting this! I managed to make one of my random characters into a Minecraft skin thanks this point. This tutorial helps so much! I have been looking for how to do this, but I can not find any other sites for any topic.
hmmmm.... is there a guide on the cape or is that something that doesn't even use the body?
edit: I should really check if flash is working before blind quoting >_>

Do as he says!
When people ask you to have an open mind, they are actually telling you to "stop believing what you believe," and to "start believing what I believe."
History never repeats itself. Events never happen twice.
Edit: I tried this...but it isnt working
Help?
Can't be done easily :sad.gif:

You missed the tile quite drastically.
The hat layer is basically the head layer copied but it's drawn over the top of the head.
Thank you :biggrin.gif:
