Darling Dottie
« on: December 29, 2021, 05:10:03 AM »
Thank you to Lyric1 for finding me the info for this skin, which is an adoption of one of Fencer's skins from 2010.

"Darling Dottie/Shoot!! You're Faded" was the P-47M flown by Captain Walter Flagg of the 56th Fighter Group's 63rd Fighter Squadron in 1945.

Excellent.   I would possibly tame the rudder down a hair but that could just be my phone.

Blue does look a touch bold.  If adjustment is to be made, more along of where the red is?

The red doesn't seem as bold, like it's just a notch less than what the blue is.  At least to me.

The problem he may encounter trying to dull the blue is maintaining a good level of contrast in the serial number against the other blue shades.

Thanks for the feedback on the blue rudder, I've already submitted this one but I'll desaturate it a bit in future skins.

He may get away with desaturation of the rudder slightly more than the serial number since they're not contiguous.   It's minor regardless.
