Talos Posted July 26, 2009 Share Posted July 26, 2009 While working on finishing the profiles of several VF-19s, I got in the mood to do more markings, so we have two squadrons of VF-4s tonight, SVF-302 Stallions, a reserve squadron, and the CAG, CO, XO, and line birds of SVF-213 Black Lions.

Thai Boxer 9901 Posted July 30, 2009 Share Posted July 30, 2009 Would someone be willing to do some VF-1's and VF-4's in Air Force markings?

Mr March Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 Yeah, I like them very much. They are all going in the "For Fans Only" section in the next update of my website. This newest one is hilarious. That face is somehow very fitting for the VA-3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SchizophrenicMC Posted August 17, 2009 Share Posted August 17, 2009 Out of boredom, I've screwed around with this VF-171 I jacked from March's site and made it look awesome... Better than the turquoise/teal, depending on the light it's in, scheme. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reminds me a bit of the original VF-17 colors, but lighter. hellohikaru Looks much like the "playboys" scheme. Yeah, I was trying to match the new grey to the native grey. Also, I like the yellow that Skull-1 carried on his tail-tips and across the forward fuselage.. And red is ALWAYS a good choice. I may end up doing a VF-17 scheme now.

Mr March Posted August 18, 2009 Share Posted August 18, 2009 Well, I've recently color corrected my VF-17 Nightmare pictures so they better represent the anime. If you need some up to date reference (since my next update is still pending), then I'll post it here for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SchizophrenicMC Posted August 18, 2009 Share Posted August 18, 2009 (edited) Well, I've recently color corrected my VF-17 Nightmare pictures so they better represent the anime. If you need some up to date reference (since my next update is still pending), then I'll post it here for you. So, there's more blue in that dark grey than red... It is no problem. I will begin the workings soon. However, a problem arises: how to make the letters remain white, not dark grey. That's a secondary concern, though. TIME TO BEGIN!

Talos Posted August 19, 2009 Share Posted August 19, 2009 Thanks. Just needs bags of patience and working the pen tool. ...you're using the pen tool? O_o Dude, use the paths tool! Outline your camo, select, feather 10px or so, then cut to the object shape you need. It's simple and clean and takes almost no time once you have the patterns set. I made some tutorial images on What If in Logan's thread, you should check them out and ask me on MSN later. As an example, three of my old TSR-2s that use exactly that for their camo. Schizo, skill isn't the missing piece. Just more patience is! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SchizophrenicMC Posted August 19, 2009 Share Posted August 19, 2009 Schizo, skill isn't the missing piece. Just more patience is! No, I'm pretty patient. I lack skill, and maybe method. My method is off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Talos Posted August 19, 2009 Share Posted August 19, 2009 No, I'm pretty patient. I lack skill, and maybe method. My method is off. Practice is all you need, which brings patience with it too. You're doing pretty well on recoloring those linearts, so try experimenting and see what you come up with. That's how I figured out half the things I do now.

hellohikaru Posted August 20, 2009 Share Posted August 20, 2009 (edited) Thanks for the tips Talos. I need to practice more camo..

Mr March Posted August 20, 2009 Share Posted August 20, 2009 SchizophrenicMC Well, I guess I'm easily impressed because I like it. Don't be too hard on yourself either, that picture of the VF-171 Nightmare Plus on my website is rather lousy picture (it's like first generation pic from way back before Macross Frontier started). So it's not like you've got something great to begin work with hellohikaru I love it! Wonderful scheme and very different from the others. Once again you've outdone yourself. But now I have to download your two white and grey Howlers now Talos Ah, some new real world aircraft. Very nicely done. I like the brown and grey one.
