Colt40Five

Like this?

This is the tail flash and high-vis paint from the same era as the VF-84 skin. This what you were talking about?

She can be MOSTLY naked...I mean have you seen some of the shots on magazines at the checkout in the grocery store? She could be mostly naked and still pass muster with the ratings board. :thumbup:

I'll have to check the ME, but I think it's a Neustrashimy(not spelled right I'm sure...)

That's assuming there is a box...lol Get this guy to draw a KA-50 and a hot chick....you'll sell a gazillion copies! http://conceptart.org/forums/showthread.php?t=79018

Should I include a yellow helmet for the pilot??

Well yeah see I only made the one skin and...oh nm... ;)

Nearing release...Phoenix missiles not included...hehe

Hmm okay, I'll try the commands you listed. I don't know why I thought there was some way to reset the default.

What value do I need to change to get rid of the fisheye effect in the F2 view?

I'd create the 'fixes' on a separate layer and then you could blur it to match without also blurring the original parts.

I knew I shouldn't have eaten those brownies forcefeedback sent me :doh:

You want scary??

Here's some of mine that are similar...in this thread: http://forum.lockon.ru/showthread.php?t=21136

I still don't think the touch-ups are blurred enough(same spots on the wings and also at the base of the tail). I think I used an RLE Gaussian blur set on 10 for the whole camo layer, but I don't know if you made the touch-ups a separate layer or not. It's not so bad that it ruins the skin though. :)

I love that there's new folks learning to skin!! IMHO the camo isn't very 'balanced' for lack of a better word. Big blobs in some areas small ones in others and lots of blank space in between, it just doesn't seem to work for me. Also the streak eagle graphic is awfully blurry.

Only thing I can see is a few spots where you touched up the camo on the wings, but then didn't blur the edges to match(near the insignia on each wing). And in that first shot why does the tailhook seem to appear out of thin air? I'm guessing that has to do with the model? And since you asked for a critique I must say that the eagle on the tail looks a little pixelated up close. Short of finding a better image not sure what you can do about that. And a word of caution....once you start skinning...forever will it dominate your destiny... hehe :)

I think the comparison came from the common lack of a normal fuselage in favor of the wide-slung engines with a lift-generating fuselage.

Thanks! So no one has/knows where I can get the graphic I mentioned above??

From the 1970's even! I don't know why, but when I'm working on a mission pack I feel like I need a new skin to muck about with...guess I just like change of scenery...I went to bizzaro world for this one! And if anyone has a good f-14 style "rescue" graphic (the arrow and boxes on the forward fuselage) I'd love a copy. Can't find one so I drew my own, but they're not great...

Since none of the posted suggestions have really grabbed me I've decided to release it as MiG-29C 'Diamond' due to the diamond shape of the paint on the upper fuselage. Thanks to those of you who offered suggestions! And thanks to hitman for completely derailing my thread! hehe j/k Should be up at lockonfiles soon...

Got a better pic of the pattern? I'll look online and see what I can dig up.

You mean this one? This was a test that ended up as my 'digital punisher' skin. It's gone...If you HAVE to have it I could have a go at re-creating it. or this one? This one is at lockonfiles...

PythonOne: Ghostrider is the name of a superhero...people might expect flames...lol Hitman_214th: Thanks. All my released skins are at lockonfiles. A word of caution...that punisher A-10 skin in my sig was my first skin...I've learned a few tricks since then, and am working on an updated version. It could be awhile though, as I want to finish my upcoming Su-33 mission pack first.
