My first Hackergotchi image.Thanks to Halli mane Aravida for teaching me GIMP tool :) .

Here is the cool tip shared by Aravinda for all those who want to create their own Hackergotchi.

  • Use Fuzzy select tool and click on white background of your Image
  • Layer -> Transparency -> Add alpha channel -> This makes background transparent
  • Edit -> Clear
  • Select -> Invert
  • Filters -> Light and Shadow -> Drop shadow

Now you are done. If you save as jpeg white bg will be applied automatically, save one source image as .png since jpg will not handle transparency
