you're doing the alpha channels wrong

Select the alpha channel in GIMP with the texture selected.

Use your brush to create alpha in the areas you want the team color.

You can't. Only moderators and admins can close threads.

Just a quick advice- when you add alpha (f.ex. team colour), you can make it non-solid, making a shading effect. If black is alpha 100% then grey is half-alpha and that means the background will shine through. If the background is black, this works as a shadow, making less flat areas (like the cape of the sorceress).

Good luck with skinning!
