Thanks A lot lion.

To adapt this in gimp :

In the actor viewer click on the ground icon, that will fill the background with black this is particulary useful when having white units ie : this

You don't have the inner and outer glow. So I suggest you use the gaussian blur.

Use the magic wand to select the black and do as Lion told you create a new layer with the colored wolf while the bottom layer has a white wolf.

Then select the bottom layer gaussian blur 20 and you 'll have a white overlay. (Repeat it till it's thick enough)

You can now colour it to look like the yellow in this picture.

And done :)
