I dont like them so much, sorry.

i'm trying to find a better program to make it look better
-
All you did was take someone's screenshot, try to cover up what seal was already on it, and then put a bunch of seals on without cutting them out from the background. You could do that in MS Paint.
-
I hope you at least asked BMathis if you could use some of his work. True it's HTC's game, but I'm sure Mathis put a lot of work into that Screen-Shot. He may not care, but it's a good thing to at least ask.
< http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/index.php/topic,204187.2865.html > Some of Mathis' work, including the pictures included in this thread.

It looks like it was done in MS Paint judging from the pixelated "spray paint" covering the former logo in the bottom left. You can still see words from the previous logo behind the top left logo.

come on man

Use Gimp.
Gimp is similar to photoshop but it is open source and free.
-
I enjoy that G2 skin. Plz dont soil it by association :t

i gotta clean my monitor now i just spit beer on it from laughing

That's BMathis's image.

A computer program cannot create art.

That skin is ugly and should be removed from the game asap.

It was so pathetic I couldn't even force myself to laugh.
I mean, SERIOUSLY, how could you put a whole bunch of AMERICAN squadron patches and whatnot, and an AMERICAN CARRIER over, OVER a picture that has nothing to do with United States Naval Aviation, or even the COUNTRY! What you have done puts you high up there on my book of stupidity. Next time, try matching the emblems and such with a picture that has to do with those emblems, and use a better program.
You asked, I answered. I hope I didn't crush your dreams or break your heart or anything. You'll get better with time and age, just keep trying. You'll get there eventually.. At least, one could hope so.

Ouch Joe.
Ok GrnEglJr. That was probably not the best move you could've done. 1st, you didn't cover the seal in the top left corner (writing is showing beneath the aircraft carrier) 2nd your seals tend to clash with the rest of the picture. Kinda makes your eyeballs go 4 different directions at once. Not Pleasant. 3rd Nuclear powered aircraft carrier....WWII. They don't mix.
What is this for? Are you making a recruiting poster for the 81st? If so you forgot the Pogues.
If you're interested in making graphics like this
1 get a good graphics program. You can DL Photoshop on a 30 day trial or get GIMP, which is free.
2 Research
3 Spend time on it. 20 minutes of cut and paste doesn't give you any sort of recognition. I'm working on a signature bar that has 2 B-17's in flight with a semi transparent overlay of John Wayne wearing a crush cap that says "Aint nothin tougher" I've been working on that for 2 weeks now.
I did this using Gimp, took me 4 bleeping hours to get it right, and this is just nose art for the Pogues.

Actually on our nose art she's bigger to fill it out. This is just simple cut and paste ( and a whole lot of erasing pixel by pixel)

rgr madhat i will do some research and experiment with gimp

Lol, was gona say the complete oposite before I saw your post, but I just had to post about it.
Eagle Jr,
Looks fine as far as the screenshot goes, but it looks cluttered with all those pics in it and the 190 in the center. Try putting what you want to say into text along the top and bottom edges, and I think you'll get a much better result.

rgr thanks Nemisis

That's BMathis's image.
Might be too young to know what Plagiarizing is... :headscratch:

I doubt it. But there is something, I believe it's called Freedom of Use or something like that, that basically states that anything can be used, as long as it wasn't for monetary gain. This was a subject my Lit Prof went on (and on) about. I believe this notion really kicked in with the Internet Boom. Personally, it seems the base of your image was a screenshot, so he should have just taken that idea and made his own screenshot. Either way, that freedom of use is something to watch out for.
-
I guess It's not plagiarism. Frankly I do not care that he used my picture. It's a form of flattery so they say. However, knowing the difference between using and owning, or having that thing inside you that tells you it's right or wrong, can tell you something about someone.
I still stand by my original statement; modified --> He's a young kid, and may not know better yet.
Keep up your work Green Eagle Jr, you may someday be designing billboards.
:salute

WOW......... and all this time I thought those were 109's?
btw.... the 81st Krewsaderz flew A-7 Corsair II's back when I was serving ......... stationed out of NAS Cecilfield if I remember correctly...... was also I think the 82nd Sundowners? Sister squad or might have been the 87th hell...sux to get old.... sux losing memories....
there are some nice screen shots and edited ones as well.... in this thread........thanks for sharing them.....
-
It is a 109, I just accidently typed 190 and didn't notice till the editing period was up. Don't worry, your not senile yet :D.
-
Cut the kid some slack he isn't old enough to know how to use all of this stuff like you'll can. You'll are acting like if you were in his exact situation, you would be an ace at photoshoping/GIMP'ing. GrnEaglJr just keep practing with GIMP or photoshop, you'll become better.

He's 15. I was younger than that when I started skinning.
Age is never an excuse.

So you telling me, when you were at whatever age you were, you could skin/GIMP like a pro?
-
Don`t give up cause some peeps r rude,keep trying you can only get better with time n experience. :salute
-
I agree, some people are being a little too rude. You will get better, just do not expect it to be an over night thing.
-
If you know anyone who is a pro, then ask them for help. And BTW, what is the skin in the first pic, and what model is the 109?
