Will pay $150 for skin of Witchcraft

[Brooke]

Hello, all.

I'm interested in hiring a person to do a nice B-24 skin of Witchcraft, one that can be submitted as an acceptable skin to HTC for inclusion in the game.  I'll pay $150 for it.

My interest is because I took a ride on the Colling's Foundation B-24 painted as Witchcraft, posted pictures of it, and got e-mail from B-24 pilots who flew Witchcraft:

For those interested, please say so here or send me a PM, and please if possible include links to artwork of other skins you've done.

Many thanks, and here's hoping some folks are interested.

Well, I don't want your money. Ive done one B-24 before, but it hasn't been added yet. I've seen the aircraft, but do you have any particularly good references?

150$ should go to the best rendering of that scheme..

Just curious but why $150 at all? Im sure the skinners would do it just for the fun of it!

I figure it's a lot of work to do a skin, and I don't have the knowledge, skill, or the software to do it myself.  I could request it for free, but then it might not happen anytime soon (as there are probably lots of requests).  I'm willing to pay to get it done well, soon, and up to whatever guidelines needed by HTC to get it into the game -- basically to commission the work.

I'd love to see it introduced into Aces High and then send an e-mail to Fred Holdrege (commander of the squadron Witchcraft was in -- the 790th Bombardment Squadron) and to Bob McKenzie (First Pilot in the 790th and pilot of Witchcraft during one of his 35 combat missions) with a screenshot of Witchraft in action in Aces High.  Also, I'd add it onto my Witchcraft page.

Yep, we could do it as a $150 prize for the best rendering, but that means some folks go through all the work for naught.

Might just be best to see past examples of work from those interested and pick one person.

It's good to be a pack rat.

edit: is that the right Witchcraft?  I did'nt even check.

Yep, that's Witchcraft.



And in action:



Note engine-cowl colors might not be symmetrical (i.e., 1 and 2 are perhaps the same as 4 and 3, not 3 and 4).  Not sure about that, though -- hard to tell.

Also, the nose has "Audre" painted on it in yellow, which the graphic above doesn't show (but that is partially visible in the black-and-white picture above).

More pics are here:

The plane looks it had a couple of paint jobs done on it around the engines during it's service time. http://www.b24bestweb.com/Pics-W-WIT-WIZ.htm

From what I can see, 1 and 3 look the same, a light color (Yellow? White?) and 2 and 4 look the same (Looks like a color darker than the OD. Perhaps grey or black?). I don't have a lot of experience interpreting black and white though, so those guesses are the best i can tell.

Depends what picture your looking at. On one of mine I posted there all painted & they look OD.

Heya Gents,

I really dont have the time to dedicate to a full skin production right now.  However, I would love to be a part of making her.  I'd be happy to make the noseart (right and left fuselage.)  This may free up more time for the overall skinner to dedicate to the finer details.  I agree about the money.  Not necessary IMO.  We just like doing it to do it

I can offer the noseart in raster or vectored format at any size the skinner would like.  I would be making it from scratch...if its wanted.  I could have it ready for the skinner by the 16th if needed.  Once the skinner is chosen (or steps forward) just let me know whatcha need (if you need it.)  I use Photoshop, Freehand, and Fireworks.  I should be able to export to any desired format.

I can sure give it a try if no one else jumps up.

[Tempest3]

In the color strip already posted the 1 & 3 were red and 2 & 4 were white. Red does look black in B&W photos.

Excellent!  Can you post some links to some pics of skins you've done?  Also, do you have any that are currently in the Main Arena that I could look at?
