sketchley Posted June 3, 2006 Share Posted June 3, 2006 The last one is probably the most realistic one to date. Though your signature/e-mail has now become illegible and I think that it's an advert for yahoo. Also, on all the logos that you add, the マクãƒã‚¹ã‚¼ãƒ is borderline illegible...

The new signature is a simplification of icons which reads "ikhii@yahoo.com" and also "ikhii@msn.com". I will make it more legible. Here is another work of mine Still trying to get some warships or some airport shots that are fantastic as background, if you found some good ones, do post. thanks ... cheers.

Repiv_Onex Posted June 24, 2006 Share Posted June 24, 2006 (edited) Hi ikhii, anymore updates? I have been waiting for more~ Please do more if u have time. Anyway, I have just brought myself a Photoshop software and just started playing with it. As I have totally no experience on Photo editing, I have started steadily playing with only the basics functions of the Photoshop. Therefore they may seems alike... I love shots with deep contrast, something like the sun is bright and the "main object" is dark. However, due to this, my friends say those picture I made sux as they can't even see the details of the valkyrie. But that's the way I like it... maybe that's my style??? btw I know this topic is VF-0S wallpaper, but I just can't stop myself for uploading the oooold VF-1 here to share with u all. Lastly, sorry for my English Hope u all like the pictures. Edited June 24, 2006 by Repiv_Onex Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am sure it would be great to see more of your great work here. I've been busy and hope to update more shots and work later. Thanks for keeping this post up and I love VF-1 also as I'm going to shoot mine soon and put it up as wallpaper also but maybe in a new VF-1 topic. Maybe you can start a new one. I can join in , btw, i love the contrast effect also especially the black and white outlines. Will hope to work out more soon when i got the time. cheers.

Wicked Ace Posted June 24, 2006 Share Posted June 24, 2006 For you Photoshop masters with too much time on your hands, maybe the background could be changed on this pic.

Nice pose... will get my VF-0 and try to get a good lighting to fit in some of the sky photos that i took for the past few days. Anyway, just got another family member and will put it next to my VF-0 or as a background in some airfield. Wait and see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh ikhii btw can u teach me how to apply shadows accurately on artificial background? It seems that I can't find a decent option for that, all I do is apply the shadow very inaccurately using the "burn tool". Below is an example of a improper shadowing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Below is an example of a improper shadowing 412354[/snapback] wow... that is a beauty my friend. Shadows are normally taken from the original pics. If the light source are good, use back the original shadows and make it blend. The best option in Photoshop is to cut out the shadows and put it in a new layer. Making sure that the oppacity is around 50-60% and then you can try multiply it to make it looks softer with the background. Sometimes you may want to blur it out a bit. But it really depends on good lighting. If you have a good shadow from the photo that you've shot, then use back the original. It will surely look natural. Hope it helps.

vanpang Posted July 3, 2006 Share Posted July 3, 2006 hey ikhii, I must get some lessons from you, when the 1/60 YF-19 is out, you should do a VF-0 with a YF-19 fly by !!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ikhii Posted July 7, 2006 Author Share Posted July 7, 2006 (edited) Here is something that I've worked with for the past few hours. I think there is still room for improvements.

nightmareB4macross Posted July 7, 2006 Share Posted July 7, 2006 That looks really nice. But the VF-0 on the right center, looks really small in perspective. I think the VF-0 should be a little bigger. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did resize it to a proper scale that fits the photo and it only shows the leg of the Gerwalk.. so i guess need to put it to the back of the plane like the one edited below.

Having the VF-0 flying above a Russian carrier... With motion blur and some heat distortion, this one could look very cool!

Awacs Posted July 13, 2006 Share Posted July 13, 2006 Hmm, interesting. Having the VF-0 flying above a Russian carrier... Russian? I thought it was the CG artists impression of the Royal Navy's "Future Carrier" concept? Could just be my eye-sighting going but it looked to me a lot like the shots that have been showing up in the magazines since the program became "newsworthy". It's a nice wallpaper regardless of who'se ship it is. I think I shall be adding this one to my rotation. My current one is about up for resting anyway..
