Need a hair for a portrait recolored to match a sprite

Hello everyone!

I'm trying to make a face portrait to match a sprite.  I tried to do it myself, but I just can't get it to look right.

The sprite I made using Game Character Hub.


I need this hair portrait to match the hair on the sprite as close as possible. 

Thanks!

Color replacement tool in photoshop?

Actually, the color replacement tool is rarely the thing to use (or at least that's what I've found with most RPG Maker graphics; for instance it would've turned the hair somewhat dark brown rather than the cream color on the sprite)

Anyway, here's what I could manage:



It's not exactly right, but when I mess with it anymore the black starts to show through again. Maybe somebody else can do better...

@Laptopdancer: Usually the people requesting things here aren't artists, it's a bit unreasonable to expect them to have such an expensive program, don't you think?


@xcom: This is the best I could do.

Thank you lemongreen and Sharm!  All I have is gimp and I tried for a couple hours to get it right.  It just kept coming out looking "not right".  I think Sharm's is the closest to match it.

Thanks again!

If it works then that's great! Glad I could help.
