~Here's how I do it on paint.net.
1)open Paint.net
2)get all the pictures required to make it
3)on the picture you wish to cut out, erase all around the character. It may take a while, but nonetheless handy. Tip: The quickest way to do this is to use the curve/line tool in white or a completely different color that the character isn't related to and use it around the part of the character you wish to use.
4) Use the Magic Wand tool and click away from the character.
5)Then click the cut tool and erase any unnecessary things that stuck around that are too close to the character. However, the part of the character you choose will be perfectly fine! For the Line/Curve tool technique: use the Magic tool on the lines you use,and that will leave the character perfectly unharmed. Then proceed to do the same with the scenery above
6)Now, go to the picture you wish to post the character on. Go to the "Layers" pull-out and click "add layer".
7)Go back to the character you cut out and use the Lasso tool around them, and then click Copy.
8) Go to the picture you wish to put the character and click Paste.
9)Ajust the character as much as you want.
10)Go to Layers, click Merge Layer Down
11)Save
