malibu43 Posted August 25, 2008 Posted August 25, 2008 I was trying to create a SEA skin for the Tornado GR1 for a campaign I'm working on, but I'm limited to using paint and it really wasn't working for me. Is there any skinner out there that could whip one up for me? This would be for the GR1 that comes in the Tornado package (oldest one for download at CA). I was thinking something like the 617 scheme, with the greys replaced by tan or brown. Thanks! Quote
+Syrinx Posted August 25, 2008 Posted August 25, 2008 I'd do it Malibu but I don't have the Tornado template. Without a template don't think I could do it justice. Quote

Spinners Posted August 25, 2008 Posted August 25, 2008 Download the latest version of GIMP - it's freeware and a tremendous asset to modding. Quote
Silverbolt Posted August 25, 2008 Posted August 25, 2008 Why not ask the man who painted it? :P Quote
Royohboy Posted August 26, 2008 Posted August 26, 2008 Download the latest version of GIMP - it's freeware and a tremendous asset to modding. I do most heartily second that :yes: Download the Gimp, give it a try, and you'll be amazed at how good you are at (computer-) painting. MS Paint is really no good for anything and can be a really frustrating experience. Quote
+Spectre_USA Posted August 26, 2008 Posted August 26, 2008 What kills me is that MS has clung tenaciously to that travesty for so many years. The one program they saw fit NOT to improve since Windows for Workgroups 3.11. Sheesh... Quote
+Gocad Posted August 26, 2008 Posted August 26, 2008 What kills me is that MS has clung tenaciously to that travesty for so many years. MS Paint is meant to be as basic as Wordpad. Now, who uses Wordpad for writing, let's say, academic texts? Quote
+MigBuster Posted August 26, 2008 Posted August 26, 2008 (edited) Yep can't do much in MS Paint. Was thinking more of this one http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uk2sPl_Z7ZU...feature=related But saying that - unless you are that good an artist use PS/GIMP - much easier anyway :) Edited August 26, 2008 by MigBuster Quote
DarthRevan Posted August 26, 2008 Posted August 26, 2008 Gocad well that movie proves how basic MS Paint is :-) Quote
charlielima Posted August 26, 2008 Posted August 26, 2008 I'd do it Malibu but I don't have the Tornado template. Without a template don't think I could do it justice. You Skin? :ph34r: CL Quote
+Gocad Posted August 26, 2008 Posted August 26, 2008 Gocad well that movie proves how basic MS Paint is :-) It's as 'basic' as Wordpad. Nor did I say that you can't paint with MS Paint, it just has a lot less tools and options than Photoshop or GIMP. Quote
+Syrinx Posted August 26, 2008 Posted August 26, 2008 You Skin? :ph34r: CL I've been known to dabble occaisionally Quote
+Syrinx Posted August 26, 2008 Posted August 26, 2008 Is this the kind of thing you wanted Malibu ? Looks freaky to me but hey, when in South East Asia... Quote
malibu43 Posted August 26, 2008 Author Posted August 26, 2008 Is this the kind of thing you wanted Malibu ? Looks freaky to me but hey, when in South East Asia... Exactly!!! Does look weird, but I'm sure some people thought the "pink" tornados were weird at first too. Quote
+Spectre_USA Posted August 26, 2008 Posted August 26, 2008 I think it looks Sierra Hotel! Great job, SpadGirl... Quote
eraser_tr Posted August 27, 2008 Posted August 27, 2008 I think I see why it looks a bit "freaky" the SEA scheme had the undersides painted a sort of cream color, not wraparound. Quote
+Syrinx Posted August 27, 2008 Posted August 27, 2008 I know. You are quite correct Eraser. What can I say ? Budget cuts within the MOD you know...they wouldn't sanction the purchase of FS 36622 paint - the cheapskates ! Quote
+Syrinx Posted August 27, 2008 Posted August 27, 2008 This any better ? There's no pleasing some people Still a bit of tweaking to do, still working with no template it's a real PITA, but at least you get the general idea of what she'll look like. Quote

+Syrinx Posted August 27, 2008 Posted August 27, 2008 Finished at last. Sleeeep mmmmm sleeeeep ! Quote
Spinners Posted August 27, 2008 Posted August 27, 2008 Hey NFG I hope you haven't 'overwritten' the wraparound version... I prefer it! Quote
+Spectre_USA Posted August 27, 2008 Posted August 27, 2008 Maybe post `em both up? Choices are a good thing, and both look rockin', IMHO... Quote
Hawk MMS Posted August 27, 2008 Posted August 27, 2008 Very nice tornado skins. That goes for all the ones you have been kicking out lately Thanks Quote
