UK_Widowmaker Posted March 19, 2009 Posted March 19, 2009 (edited) Whoa!..That is very cool Gous! (download link doesnt work though) Edited March 19, 2009 by UK_Widowmaker
Gous Posted March 19, 2009 Author Posted March 19, 2009 Thanks guys.. I dont know what is going on with the link. Maybe it is gonna fix later on. I just uploaded it anyway, maybe the admnis must give a permission first.
+Olham Posted March 19, 2009 Posted March 19, 2009 Hey, good looking! You didn't use "smashing" colours - that makes it look real and impressive to me. Great job, Gous - keep them coming!
Rickitycrate Posted March 19, 2009 Posted March 19, 2009 I like the look Gous, just wondering is historical? Doesn't matter, just wondered. I'ld like to be able to skin like that. I have a sqaud full of ideas.
UK_Widowmaker Posted March 19, 2009 Posted March 19, 2009 My only problem left with skinning, is the age old Weathering!...If someone could tell me the best way to do that..I would be a very happy chappie!
Gous Posted March 19, 2009 Author Posted March 19, 2009 (edited) Everything on its time...my tutorial will include some juvenile weathering instructions. And no it is not historically accurate...let's leave our imagination free and do anything we see fit EDIT: Well the link works now so download freely Edited March 19, 2009 by Gous
Guest British_eh Posted March 20, 2009 Posted March 20, 2009 OK, just brilliant! Now, where can I put my order in? Cheers, British_eh
+Olham Posted March 21, 2009 Posted March 21, 2009 (edited) Maybe best to see, what Gous is coming up with in his tutorial, WIDOWMAKER. I can't help you really, as I don't know, how the various menues and tool of Photoshop are named your side of the north sea. But so much: I don't work with the original layers, as I can't get to them. DXTBmp converts the dds files into 24 bit bitmaps. I usually choose a skin, that is close to what I want to get. If it's bright wood, I'd like to have in another tone, I choose the wood with the "magic stick" (?) and go to "picture", "variations", and add red or yellow, until I'm pleased. If I want stripes on it, I frame the area with the rectangle, and overpaint the field with the colour wanted, but only with a covering/intensity (?) of 20 percent. If that's too faint, I repeat it. Now I have a shimmer of new colour, with the wood structure or weathering still shining through. Now I go to "picture", "variations", and vary brightness or darkness, or colours, until it gets right. If I want yellow or white parts on a dark fuselage, I cut them out of a white or yellow skin, and place them in the right position of a dark skin. It's good to have 4 - 5 skins chosen, that may provide you with the right parts. The wolf head was a jpeg from the web, I changed just a little with "variations", and "finger" (?), which I used to wipe up more fierce eyebrows. It's rather simple, how I work.
