Yes, they are all colored pencil; and the scanner perceives brightness differently than I do. But it's hard to make things dark with colored pencil, anyway. So I guess I'll digitally change the brightness...
Edit: Wow! Gimp looks like just what I needed. I still have to figure out how "Layers" work, though.

Re: Modding Questions
Gimp is really confusing. I redid the buffaloes in it, and they look a lot better now. Anyone know how to set the rulers in Gimp to use pixels instead of inches? They did at first, but now they don't anymore.
Other Gimp issues:
I copied some parts of a picture in Gimp and pasted to a new file (which starts with a checkerboard background...). But the new file is exactly large enough for what I paste into it. I figured out how to expand the file ("canvas", as they call it) to give working room, but there is an outline of the original canvas size, and the the area beyond that - even though it looks usable - is not usable. I cannot find how to expand the border.

Re: Modding Questions
Okay, I have a decent working Version of UlmPunk ready for general enjoyment. It will certainly need updates, but I have a basic and completely playable shell, and I think the balance is acceptable. So... does anybody know what email address to send it to to get it put on the Illwinter site? I've searched their site, and can't find it!

Re: Modding Questions
Oh, and I learned a couple of things in the process. We definitely need a command to change the leadership abilities of a unit. Very muchly. And the special powers of items (like the whip of command or elemental armor) hard-coded onto a unit do not work! That one, alas, I doubt is going to be fixed. It seems to me that it would be hard to code.

Follow the /etc directory under GIMP. At the end of it is some config files (plain text) where you can make more permanent changes
