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?

Well, Ive got two that made it in, REAL early designs though. I'm definately not the best skinner here, in fact, I would hesitate to even say im good, but I would be more than happy to try to make something that meets your standard. Back to my in-game skins though, one is a Bf-109F-2 and one a Bf-109G6. The only B-24 ive done hasn't gone in as I am still tweaking it. Here are some quick snippets of everything ive worked on:

(An early shot of my 109F, I cannot find a later one right now...)

(Note, some of these are not the final cuts. I made the mistake of not lableing anything so Im having a hell of a time figuring out which are the latest ones and which are the VERY early stages...)

Serenity you need to make your showcase screenshots clearer.  The 2nd, 3d, 5th, and last screens are too unreadable.  No details are visible enough. Study other skinners' pimp shots.

Yeah, I didn't grab these specifically for this thread, I just already happened to have those on photobucket. I don't think the skins are up to the quality he is looking for anyway, but if he would like to see more, I would be more than happy to take some fresh ones for him.

OK, we've got a taker.  Serenity, let's go for it.  :aok

I have color pictures of the Colling's Foundation B-24 painted as Witchcraft, here:

http://electraforge.com/brooke/flightsims/b24_flights/b24_2005.html

It might not be painted authentically in all detail, but the Colling's Foundation pics are the only ones I know of in color.  There are some black-and-white ones in the links referenced in that and ones are already posted above (or links to others above), and a Google image search on "b-24 witchcraft" yields a few others.

$150 on completion to specs that meet HTC's requirements for inclusion in the arenas.

Here we go! :)

Keep the money Brooke. I might be a starving teen, but I couldn't in good conscience take it.

But the money is a mandatory part of the deal. :)  You can donate it to charity if you don't want it or split it with anyone who helps you (if someone else contributes some of the artwork or whatever).  At any rate, upon successful completion, it will be headed your way.

I don't have my image editing stuffs on this computer, so I cannot get to work until Thursday, but I promise (excluding the time in Rangoon and homework) ill devote all the time available this weekend to getting Witchcraft up and flying.

Salute Brooke,

Got permission from Serenity to post these shots of the noseart.  He will get the final versions to place on the skin as he needs them.  However, I have kept the originals in case you would like a copy of them for anything.

Rather than making a copy of the artists profile, I opted to make the noseart from the original period pic.  I am attaching 3 graphics.  One of the source picture with the new noseart overlayed on it.  The second is the new noseart on an OD background (so you can see the white air streaks.)  Finally the crewchiefs side of the aircraft.  Again, that one is a trace of another period picture. 

It is important to remember that the majority of the detail will be lost once resized by Serenity to fit the skin.  That is why I offer the originals if you would like them for any reason.  Also, I did not weather any of the noseart as I figured that Serenity would like to do that on his end to match the skin.

Anyway, was a fun project on my end.  I look forward to seeing it all put together and to fly her.  Hope you like it.

No rush, guys -- I'm not on a tight timeline.  It can take a month, and that's OK.

I know, but who knows when the next release will be. The sooner I get it in, the sooner it gets ingame. Quality before speed, yes, but time IS of the essence!
