@Naria Currently the site is built to only display one custom designed skin/accent on a dragon, they can't be stacked. If that's a feature you'd like to see, it can be submitted in the suggestions forum: http://flightrising.com/main.php?p=mb&board=sug

@EowynRose See how the 'Accent Goes Here' layer is indented under the 'Accent Parts' folder in the tutorial image? That shows that it's actually inside that folder and not separate from it. From what you've written, it sounds like the files you're opening in GIMP are the same format as what's being shown in the tutorial. It just might not be clear since you're using a program other than Photoshop. I'm not sure how GIMP's user interface displays layers.

@SuburbanSamurai It looks like when I sent in Accent: Rainy Days I used the completely wrong PNG and didn't realize until now, ack! Sorry! Is it possible to use this PNG instead? The last was a WIP and I got it mixed up with this finished version. [img]http://i1074.photobucket.com/albums/w404/tectiform/rainydays-1.png[/img] The darkened shadows are set to about 30% opacity (I think), but it looks a lot darker on white. Sorry again; thank you for approving these so quickly! edit; here's what it looks like on transparent, hopefully the shadows don't make it cover too much!

@tec No problem, the accent's been updated.

@SuburbanSamurai Thank you!
@SuburbanSamurai Thank you!
@SuburbanSamurai

That makes sense, but now I have no idea why can't I see what I am doing in that layer.

I hold with those who favor fire,
That wild beauty none can tame
For as my soul was set aflame
Destruction and warmth are mine to claim.
@EowynRose That may be because the 'Accent Goes Here' layer is initially locked so you can't draw on it. You have to unlock it first. The Skins tutorial covers locked layers, but I don't think it's explained again in the accent portion of the tutorial. I also don't know how GIMP displays locked layers, although I'm certain it generally has the same features as Photoshop.

@SuburbanSamurai I'm terribly sorry to ask this, but it seems I somehow accidentally submitted the wrong file for Farm Outpost (skin 4974).

I haven't made a mistake like this before, so I don't know the procedure for this. Thank you for your time.

This version of the file has some errant lines that I hadn't cleaned up from the image, totally visible on the wings. :(

This is actual final version that I meant to submit and had been posting around:

@Studio The image should be fixed now.
