Wow Model Viewer is what the majority here use to get characters/pets/npcs.

Whatcha saving your files as? Cause I know PNG can sometimes be a bit wonky. Try saving it as a BMP. If you want the glow/fire look of the legs... you will need two versions. One BMP, the other the PNG. You will overlap them in the end. But the BMP should be much clearer.

Checkerboard backgrounds, to me, mean its a transparent background... so have you tried looking at it with a solid background?

I don't use Gimp, so I wouldn't know how to talk you through things. I use photoshop CS4... and even that I have a hard time explaining to others. I know what I know, but sometimes have a hard time explaining how I do what I do to other people. Lol. I heard Gimp was easy though, but like I said... I don't use it myself.

Dunno if this helps any, but
this is the tutorial I've been using for quite some time to get my models out of WMV and looking good. But I've never used GIMP, only Photoshop. You can download a trial version of Photoshop from Adobe's website (or find a cracked version, just make sure you're careful if you go that route).

I can't remember if I have told people only in PMs, but I use my own WoW screenshots as backgrounds. I just take a few that suit the siggy and then pick the best one. My only exception was Neverforever's siggy. She wanted a starry background and the night sky in WoW didn't look quite as nice as this wallpaper I found online, while all the rest have been screenshots.
