I'm a mac user so only have heard of something called "giffy" that's free and sopposed to be quite good for this. I think there's links to in either in the forum under resources or in the links section here.

Sure, I'll fix that. Except paint doesn't do transparency. Know any free-ware programs that do?

Ditto Anlina. The white canvas kills your otherwise nice sprite. The color palette is a little distracting too.

Not bad, but you really need to make better use of your canvas. If it's just a sprite, then lose the white background and palette, otherwise, do something meaningful with all that space.
