We last left off where Seth decided to go to Valor on his black dragon Erath. And when he got there...And if anyone forgot the story, Kyan found his long lost friend Seth on Valor, and his black dragon Erath. Kyan is a mamkute that can still use swords as well as dragon stone attack.

Before you do anything, youneed sprites. There is a good database here, but there are alot more.

Once you have an idea, and some sprite sheets, you can do anything you want with them, but alot is trial and error, because half the time it won't turn out right. Say you want to make a swordsmage. Get a sprite sheet for a sage, like this-

Then use the tool I squared in red to grab the sprited you want. Put it at the top corner of the sprite, and enclose it in the dotted box. Then go to edit->copy.

The open a new paint, and go to edit->Paste It should look like this-

Remember to leave yourself room to work. Now the spriting begins. First off, you need to remove the blue background. You can either A) use the eraser tool (hard), or B) Use the recolor method. Either way, I would reccomend zooming in, useing this tool-

This topic inspired me to make random sword mages.

Okay, think of what little patience I have as, oh, I don't know, your virginity. You always thought it would be there, until that night Junior Year when you were feeling a little down about yourself and your pal Kevin, who just wanted to be friends, well, he dropped by and he brought a copy of About Last Night and a four-pack of Bartels & James and woo hoo hoo, it was gone forever - just like my patience is now. ~ Dr. Perry Cox

Who the hell... put bouillon cubes in the shower head!?! Huh? Hm, did you do it? Hm? Did you? If it happens again, I will wait in my S.U.V., blast me some speed-metal -- 5.1 surround sound, heavy on the bass -- and someone... will be getting... mowed... down. ~ Dr. Hooch

BTW, a neat trick in Paint, if you click right under the "8" (about 2-3 pixels before the bright gray thing) under the zoom-in tool, you'll zoom in *10.
