Troll Thumping Day Suite anyone?

Sunday, November 18, 2007 by ZubaZ | Discussion: Community

Those of you who are new might not be aware of a unique WC holiday: Troll Thumping Day!

Is anyone interested in expanding the work Po' Smedley has done into a full Suite?

but I'd still like matching thumpers


You know, you're real close to getting a phone call at 3 in the morning from someone offering free viagra,

One is a thumper and one is a torch. You want matching thumpers? You should be happy with the one you got and stop abusing it, you only get one.

can only do so much without talent.


bullcrap. Take a look at my walls in the gallery. Maybe the background I used on them would work instead of white. It's a very blurred version of the stump wall. OR..look at my Geneology Icon in OD, I used that on another preview, blown up and blurred.

Thanks AVMAN but its only one frame in png

I can send it in layers if it helps.



HAPTORK If you need the fire animation here is link for file in .gif and .png


Po' sorry. Po forgot fire. Fire good. Po bad.

I think white back is best as get less colour loss when drop to 16 colours


IE, top of arms was green lost that.

What is with all the black around the top of the torches and the fuzzy edges? Is this something I can clean up for you on my end? Would another format work better for you? PSD?

No good asking me

I'm just having a go in MS Paint when open in paint by using edit on right click when viewing a file get this.

Can ou use PSD's? Does anyone know what format would work best for me to send him the images?

I'm assuming when you open the image it has a 'background' even though it shouldn't?

If your getting the png with NO background and can make a layer and add your own, let me know. I think I have a solution to the fuzziness.

have you seen my boots, mainly photos thats cause when it comes to making it myself it is a waste of time. It's been fun but not going to be any thing like as good as you lot can make, passable at best is all we can hope for, want better than feel free to do them, you can cause you know how,I have just been playing at it.

no I wont mind if you want something better than I have come up with so far

you can cause you know how,


The one I posted for this is the first one I ever did by myself and the bar sucks!

When you open my images, are they clean and do they have a white background? If they are not distorted and you can add your OWN background, I have something that will help preserve the integrity and only alter a bit. Something YOU can do.

if I look at them in IrFanview they have black background and if copy and paste into paint stays black.

If open in paint by using edit then most of it becomes white but not all which is why not clear.

COOL! Can you remove the white? PSP has a magic eraser that will remove the clor you click on without having to draw or cut. I don't know what paint has (MS or Paint.)

Look at this.


The tool I use will vectorize it and some of the detail is lost..it looks more 'painted', but holds up..kinda cool, huh?...then when you apply the boot color settings (4bit, etc) very little is lost.

Try saving your entire image as a jpg when you have it where you want it. DO NOT apply the boot color settings. Then go to this site WWW Link
upload it and play with it. It's quick. When you get what you want, save it, reopen it in your program and THEN apply the boot color settings and tweak it. See if it works better for you.

Thanks for that

Don't get me wrong this is fun

For someone who has trouble drawing a straight line with the mouse ending up with the last screenshot was brill and I'm happy that it's so much better than first attempt.

Will upload that one and have a go at the Emerald flame the same way as I did that one.
