I'm not the best photo editor in the world and I need some help. I'm redoing the russian Hind and would like for it engines to be on the side of the helicopter (similar to the Apache), not on top. Could someone take a look at these pics and tell me if they can do anything with them.

Damn! I wish I could get a decent camo pattern on my vehicle pics, but my paint skillz are limited in that area.

Would you guys mind putting a cooler looking camo pattern on that IFV for me?
Ato-Sara
19-07-2005, 23:01
All right I'll see what I can do.
Doomingsland

You guys have skills, by the way.

I used to do stuff like that, back when I made military stuff, but not anymore. I never got to that stage though. My skills were limited to cut and pasting.

Ato-Sara, you and me seem pretty good at this. How about we open up a little shop? Do you have AIM or Yahoo?
Doomingsland
20-07-2005, 01:59
Holy sh1t!!! You guys are good! Thanks!
USSNA

Any time my friend, any time.
Einhauser
20-07-2005, 02:56
How do you guys do that? What are the rules? Like, do you use MSpaint and then just paste colord blobs on the vehicles and then repaint the lines on top?
Zactarn Prime
20-07-2005, 02:58
I have a question. What programs and such do you guys use to do all this editing because I want to do my own?
USSNA
20-07-2005, 03:06
I dont know what Ato-Sara uses, but I use Photoshop and MSPaint and I suspect that he also uses the same.

Anyway, if you like, you can give me the photo and a description of what you want and I'll see what I can do.

I would like you to see if you can do any new paint schemes for these and also the second one in red and a couple other schemes if you can.
Ato-Sara
20-07-2005, 12:20
I personally use GIMP which is totally free, and has this wonderfull little option thats called 'Colour picker'
This allows me to only affect a certain clolour when i want to do stuff like camoflage. WHich means no painting over the lines and having to redraw them.

USSNA I only have MSN but ill get an AIM account.

Zacturn prime that type of image is a little harder to do but ill see what happens when I try.
Ato-Sara
20-07-2005, 16:42
Hey Zacturn Prime ive finished the second picture and am now doing the first.

Tell me what you think of these.

Those are 3-D. I can't really do 3-D yet. I've tried, but it always fails.

Oh, I see what Ato did. He sifhted the spectrum in the pic.
Ato-Sara
20-07-2005, 19:24
Yeah 3-D is really hard to do.
look here is my attempt at the fighter.

I really liked the camo patterns you guys put on the last one (I'm actualy using both AS and USSNA's temperate schemes in different environments, I just had to find a way to use both). I've got another vehicle I'd like for you to put those awsome camo patterns on,

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v383/Doomingsland/M-29A4.png

That's my current MBT. Thanks in advance!
Ato-Sara
20-07-2005, 20:02
Okay. Four camo schemes comin right up.

By the way where do you get those pictures from?
Kriegorgrad
20-07-2005, 20:15
OoC: I think he draws them, silly! I remember when I was in the RWC, Doom spouted this kind of crap every minute! Joking Doom, sweet pictures, you should draw and SB do the stats - you two would pwn like that!
Doomingsland
20-07-2005, 21:02
Okay. Four camo schemes comin right up.

Me and Soviet Bloc make them. I do the basic drawing, then he adds all uber detail and stuff. For example, that IFV I showed was something I drew, then SB redid all of the detail, putting on all of the sensors, a cooler looking turret, ect. Kreig was around for the development of that tank pic, I believe.
Ato-Sara
20-07-2005, 21:05
Ah cool, I thought I'd seen that style of drawing somewhere.
Ato-Sara
20-07-2005, 22:22
Alright Thats the tank camos done.

OOC: My god, thats good! Ato-Sara, do you do pictures from scratch? If so, I have something for you, if you wanted.
Ato-Sara
20-07-2005, 22:40
The actual pictures are done by Doomingsland and Soviet block.
I just put the camo scheme onto it.
But if you have something you want me to do show me and ill have a look at it.
Doomingsland
20-07-2005, 22:47
Veeeery nice. Thanks a bunch.
Ato-Sara
20-07-2005, 22:49
No Problem
Skinny87
20-07-2005, 22:55
Well, its quite a different project. In this link here:

http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?p=9279096#post9279096

I have designed a spaceship with a description, but no picture. Could you draw a picture of it from that description? I'd give you full credit of course, and full access to the picture.

Thanks for whatever you can do anway.
Zactarn Prime
20-07-2005, 22:56
OOC: You guys are great thanks aalot and you should open your own buissness but sell the designs for modest to low prices and give them the final outcome first then they'll pay. You guys would make a fortune. P.S. if you do give me a 32nd of your profits for given you the idea. I'll take less.
USSNA
20-07-2005, 23:06
To late. I already suggested that with Ato. :p

BTW Ato, my AIM is RPA JackShadow

20-07-2005, 23:32
OK Skinny 87 ill see what i can do.

I dont think anyone would actually buy what we do fo real money Zacturn.

Ok, USSNA ill be on tommorrow if you want to talk to me.
Einhauser
20-07-2005, 23:37
I dont think he meant real money
Ato-Sara
20-07-2005, 23:41
I suppose but even then its a bit pointless doing it for NS money since there is no effective NS economy just people saying they have X amount and buying stuff which really doesnt mean anything.

Anyway i like doing this sort of stuff for free. But praise and advice ar always welcome.
Einhauser
21-07-2005, 00:14
You can never have too much money on here. Take my starship designs, for example. I have sold well over $20 trillion dollars in ships, and I have not spent a penny. The reason is I simply dont need to. I just dont buy enough stuff. Still, it cant hurt to have cash reserves.
Ato-Sara
21-07-2005, 14:37
Alright Skinny 87 ive had my first attempt at the space ship. Tell me what you think.

My god, Ato-Sara...thats brilliant. Thats exactly what I've been seeing in my head! Even the sloped front, and the Battlestar Galactica influences.

I really can't thank-you enough for doing that. May I now use that picture for my design thread? I'll make sure you get full credit.

Thanks again.
Zactarn Prime
21-07-2005, 15:37
DAMN ALTO. Your like a machine. hey i'll pay for your troubles but I'm kinda picky and I have some ships without pix that I want you to see if you can do.

here's 1
NAME/TYPE: Double Duece Soaring Falcon
DESIGNER/MANUFACTURER: Zactarn Prime Aerial Defence and Attack Agency
COMBAT DESIGNATION: Battlecruiser
LENGTH: 1,255 meters
CREW: 5,860; 605 gunners
PASSENGERS: 1,700 troops
SPEED RATING: 70 MGLT
HYPERDRIVE: x2
HULL RATING: 2272 RU
SHIELD RATING: approximately 8000 SBD
CONSUMABLES: 2 years
WEAPONS: 75 Taim & Bak Turbolaser Batteries;
30 ArMek Ion Cannon Batteries;
8 Phylon Tractor Beam Projectors;
6 Proton Torpedo/Missile Tubes

STARFIGHTER SQUADRONS: 6 squadrons of Rebel craft

PLANETARY ASSAULT TROOPS: Airspeeders, Freerunners, Tramp Shuttles, Heavy
Trackers, ULAVs, speeder bikes, and V-wing Airspeeders

OTHER ONBOARD CRAFT: V-wing Airspeeder Transports, Lambda-class Imperial
Shuttles, and Modified YT-1300 Transports, 3 Tie Raptor Squadrons, and 2 TIE Scimitar squadrons






Here's another

Vengance Dreadnought:
Manufacturer: Zactarn Prime Aerial Defence and Attack Agency



Statistics:

Length: 600 meters

Top Speed: 14 MGLT

Class: Vengance

Turbo Laser Turrets: Many

Warhead Launchers: 1

Ion Blasters:17

Shield Strength: 160 SBD

Hull Strength: 80 RU

Description: Although ancient compared to most other capital ships in space, The Dreadnought is still a formidable opponent in this day and age. Designed several decades ago as the flagship of the Old Republic, the Dreadnought was the largest and most successful warship in service until the construction of the Victory Class Star Destroyer. Many if these ships are still in service today in the hands of many different factions. The standard Imperial Dreadnought is much the same as the Old Republic design, featuring several turbolaser and quad-laser batteries, but now have ion blasters. They still require a crew of 16,000 but are now outfitted with a hangar bay with one or two fighter squadrons aboard. The Rebels, however, with their manpower shortage, have attempted to turn the Dreadnought in to what they call an Assault Frigate, by decreasing weight and adding maneuvering thrusters, the Rebel Dreadnought is capable of making fast, devastating attacks against most ships, and expensive large scale automation reduces the crew to only 5,000. However, due to the cost of these modifications, the Rebels still generally use the standard Dreadnought. These ships are suited to both capship and Starfighter combat, but they have two major drawbacks in that they are slow in hyperspace and are also rather poorly shielded for ships their size. One of the most spectacular disasters in recent history was the loss of over 200 Dreadnoughts in the Katana fleet due to a hive virus which infected the fleet. The Dreadnoughts, which featured a major central slaving unit which reduces crew numbers to around 2,000, were lost when the crew, insane thanks to the virus, slaved the fleets ships together and jumped randomly in to hyperspace. The fleet was never seen again, although many have claimed to have found it, most people agree that the fleet still continues on through hyperspace with no-one left aboard to drop the ship back in to real space.



I might not like the first couple you do but I'll pay you if it's to much trouble.

Me Krieg? As in me? I most likely was, as I was gobsmacked when I saw that tank!

By the way Ato-Sara, are you alright with the idea for drawing that picture, so it corresponds with the stats? Except for the pod: give it no weapons of any sort! Thanks.
