Units for the game.... pls post some How To's and helpful things here (i already made few things i gonna post here)

Designer.for this game should download this.rar.

You see i too have tried making images but the problem is that i do it on phone and without a thin stylus(which i cannot find any where) it is impossible to make them
I would think it helpful if you post a video which shows making a new image completely, editing a pre existing image and how to start making an image( i have always noticed patroid makes a drawing before making the pixel art)
I can help u with the drawing part- as i am a wonderful artist myself on paper(not boasting though)
I will take a bit of time to learn pixel arting- but i will soon , as i learnt triggering

I use "GIMP 2" to do my pixel editing, on our desktop computer. COOlguy and I have talked about making tutorials, but we never got around to it. We will have to see what we can do.

True it is also freeware: However -
If you do not already use Paint.net use GIMP2 since most of us AoS designers use it. So you will get clearer help and collaboration from the community. 
If you need an rar extractor, I use RarZilla

Hi,
Well the elecarthage is a not posted elefant upgrade
Of myself.
Bonegolem is a resized golwm image from the Bone golem Topic.
Spahi 2 is in spahi unit topic (turkish cav)
The siege tower got refused in the Siege Tower Topic for aos
( you (daniel) said that the siege tower in aof is better the the one
I made for aos.
No clue where file-47 comes from..but.i think it was the warship upgrade section.
File 15 is Ness Viking Ship poste a half year ago.
File-49 is a image you (daniel) posted in the new tc topic ( idk if aos or aof)
And romangarisson is mady by firstspeaker and shaded by Coocguy and a Actual Voteable Unit.

Hi guys, this is a post to others, who like myself struggle understanding those programs.
I use this: Piskel
http://www.piskelapp.com/
Its pretty cool i think...and very easy to use (even i figured it out lol). Though one question: Can anyone find the bloody undo button??

I believe ctrl + z is undo in 99.9% of programs.

I use photoshop and i usually use different methods depending on the result i eant to obtain. Sometimes i use a resized image on the bsckground layer to use it as a guide for my drawing.
What i always suggest is to make copies of the various layers and avoid deleting stuff until you are 100% sure you wont use it.

What?! That is really strange. Did you press ctr+z in that order and hold both buttons down? I am startled to hear that it doesn't work in an art program...
