Let's say I can get a painter to create a character for me, in which way do I need to ask him to draw it?
(so it will be practical to add bones to it.)
From what I've concluded, I need to ask the painter to draw the character with all limbs seperated from body (or is it just for side-look chars?), kinda like the left figure here:

Please correct me if I'm wrong (I need to know this before I ask her to paint).
Also a second question, I've tried to look up a random character (with a white or transparent b/g) in Google Images, but when I've imported it to AS, it came with a white background, which made it impossible to add bones to (it altered the b/g when I have manipulated the bones).
Is there a better way to import random characters to the application? I'm pretty sure that my way is dumbly wrong XD
I'm asking this because the painter won't paint in the app itself, instead she'll paint at her home and send the results to us.
A huge thanks in advance!
I'm sorry to bother you with this, it's just that I have very little idea of how to use the program efficiently, yet I must learn (for a project I'm working on).
