How on earth do you do that?? Posted via Mobile Device
I use Photoshop (you can download a free 30-day trial from Adobe's website). I used a picture of mine with good resolution, then cut it out with PS's magnetic lasso and use the refine edge option to cut out the mane. I exported it to a new layer, then used a gradient overlay to fade the edges to black. I created a black document and exported the original layer to it.
