First off, I'm trying to make a giant robot actor
I've been using a combination of SAI and Paint in order to make the sprites but I'm having some difficulty getting the results I want, namely because when the bitmaps are loaded into CC they do this:
When looking right the purple bits that should go translucent still show, and looking left I get god knows what.
Here's some info that might help you guys help me:
-I've tried saving it as a 24-bit bitmap, 256 color bitmap and 12 color bitmap. None produce desirable results.
-I've tried copying the canvas into a limb bitmap that I know works in CC. Did not fix.
-I'm sure that's the right shade of magenta, copied and saved a swatch from a working bitmap.
-The bitmap is 42x66 px
Is there a px dimension limit that I don't know about or what? This is happening with all the bitmaps I've tried to make on this machine, using the same techniques as I used for a weapons pack I started months ago.
EDIT: That's a thruster/jetpack thrown way the hell over to the left/right of the actor. I was dabbling with the offset to see if any of the bitmap pieces were working. Offsets are not what I'm struggling with (yet).
