Need the quick help of an Artist

Hello there all you art people. If anyone is willing to do me a favor I would really appreciate it.

I have an Image here that I am trying to edit. It was taken from Monster’s Den: Chronicles and I am trying to get rid of the background of the image. I have outlined the picture with a high contrast color (pink) and traced it pixel-by-pixel, and then filled in the background, cut it out and posted it to a new picture with a white background. Here it is:

Now that I have the image with a white background, I was wondering if I could make a transparent background. However I have just reached the limits of MS Paint and I need someone with the experience of a better art program. Anyone willing to spare a bit of time?

P.S. This picture is partly for the Monster’s Den Chronicles wiki, and partly for me to use in the game. I’m not intending to market it as my own artwork, or market it for that matter.

EDIT: Another image, sorry if this is any inconvenience.

I was sure Paint could do transparency.

You should look into downloading something like Paint.NET or GIMP. They’re really easy to use and it’s just handier than trying to use paint for more than it’s good for. All I have is access Paint ATM so sorry about that.

EDIT: Nevermind. I don’t think Paint supports saving as transparent.

GIMP is still the best for it though. Very intuitive design.

I wish I could download. However this PoS computer is about as fast thinking as my cat. And my cat is very, very stupid. It is not all the hardware’s fault, but actually the fact that this was an old work computer and the boss really didn’t know his way with computers. So now it’s cluttered with junk and likely viruses, and even worse some of the programs and documents we still need for records.

Long story short, it would be a lot easier if I could just get some help. Please?

EDIT: Sorry, I got tired of waiting. I had someone on the wiki help me out and I have the two pictures ready. Here they are, for anyone interested:
