So step one is to create the base image as seen in image one below. Since the image for the Bahamut Star System required only two pattern fills, I used black and white. You can have as many pseudo-layers as you have colors you will not be using. Fully saturated colors work best because they are easy to remember, but any color you will not otherwise be using in the image works as well.
When creating an image that needs a pattern fill, you need to decide on the colors you will use to designate the fill areas. This is a short tutorial on how to get MS Paint to do things it's not normally supposed to do. MS Paint is very limited in its features and it has several bugs that can be troublesome, more so when dealing with formats other than bitmap.
