A Useful Tool

The art program is known as, "Hero Machine", it's a character drawing program using flash and the Internet Browser. The version here was a free version, for any updates just log on the net and click the upgrade or email icon for the latest model.

This is a very lengthy file. Go to the LINK PAGE and download it.

This program goes almost hand in hand with my generator.

1) Pick the sex of teh character.

2) Be sure the background is blanked.

3) Play around until the character is complete.

4) Press the print screen feature on your keyboard.

5) Open up paintbrush.

6) Use the paste option and click yes for the enlargment of the view area.

7) Move the picture to where the blank area around the character is in the upper left side of the viewing area and finalize the position by clicking on a different tool.

8) Crop the blank area around the character, be sure not to cut into the character.

9) Press Ctrl + X and cut out the crop area.

10) Open a new view area, but DO NOT save the changes.

11) Press Ctrl + V to paste the character onto the new area.

12) Shrink the bottom and the right side border until the character is in a view area about its size.

13) Save the character as a JPG.

14) Go to the template area and paste it there.

Have fun.
