Olham 164 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! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

UK_Widowmaker 571 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! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Olham 164 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.
