(OK, the background isn't transparent - now I have to go figure out how to make it so.)

Here's how. I use IrfanView for this (don't have a link handy, but google it up, it's free), but I'm sure other programs can do it:

- Open your BMP or JPG or whatever in Irfanview
- Got to 'Save As' and select the GIF filetype
- Make sure that 'Save Transparent Color' and 'Choose Color When Saving' are checked in the little options menu
- Click on the color you want to be transparent when prompted

It's that easy. Note that you'll want the background to be some color that isn't used at all in the image. I like 255/0/255 (pinkish) or 0/255/0 (bright green).

I also love the beard but, since the model can't achieve a beard like that, it wouldn't be right.

You're confusing me. :P This is saying that the beard on him right now isn't right? That's not a problem, it was just the closest to what you wanted, so I'd have a base to start off of. I'll chop off the top part and give him a cowl, too.

(That is the something very interesting, right? ;) )

Nope. I'm not half the artist I'd have to be to do this stuff professionally. I really (really, really) want to tell you what it is, but I can't. :(
