Krusty has been my main source of entertainment throughout...mostly because he needs this game to be absolutely visually realistic... Even though this IS an online game...that shouldn't be taken seriously. (Or at least to the extent that Krusty takes it to.)

Speaking to Krusty now...

Have you ever seen the skins of the P-51s in racing colors? Or the Easter eggs within the various planes, such as the lyrics to Superfly in the cockpit of the C-47, or the "Rinse and repeat" in the tail turret of the B-29? Granted, this is dedicated to realism, but not so much as to make it stuffy, and limiting how much fun one can have with the various aspects of the game. (*AHEM* skinning!!!)

If you don't like this amazing skin that Ink has created for the Ki-84, then DON'T USE IT! It's not that complicated! It's the same as all of those nameless posters who complain bout the fact that you can see what model of plane the enemy is flying from 3-5k away. If they don't like that, they can just turn it off.





I'm done.

This has been rather amusing to read.  :)

Hardly.   Someone new to skinning gets blasted for contributing to the Community.   It's pure kiddie-car BS.

Lesson learned for the "Veterans":

It is better to take Ink under your wing and merely say: "Ink you might want to try this, lighten this area, darken this, blotch here, do that with the etc."    Most did just that, rather than to take the tunnel below the low road and say: "Ink you lifted someone's work and these are not even of historical accuracy to put into the game."    Especially some playing the role of "Former IJAAF Ground Crew member".  

Ink never said: "Well boys, here is the final product!"    This is/was/has been a work in progress.   It looks damn good and now that some have their panties in a twist, I hope he continues it.

Joe, your insight in the matter at hand is about as deep as a teaspoon. You don't know what you're talking about.

Ink I just saw this thread.

First off your skin is already better than many. Your detail is really good especially for a first skin.

 I interpreted the weathering as 'almost' to bear metal but not all the way down to bear metal.

The weathering on the high spots looks cool too.

 For a first skin your already off to a great start. Its obvious you have a true artistic eye.

Some guys have no artistic ability but espouse as if they are experts on these forums, when there work at best is flat, sterile, and mediocre.

If you stick with skinning based on what you have produced as a first skin, in no time, if not already, your work will surpass theirs.

 Keep it up! If I can help in any way just PM me.

as I promised.....

what I think may be a finished skin :headscratch:

I know it's not perfect and some may say "oh too much weathering" well I like the idea Of it being heavily weathered, in other words "battle Hardened"....... :neener:

I have seen many a KI that were heavily weathered and I just like this look a lot better.

so good or bad let me hear what you think..... :old:

plus I included the BMP/text needed to check it out offline.

i personally think the weathering is a little over-done. especially on the tail.

you should make the skull&crossbones a little more clearer. Its the coolest part of that skin, but you can barely see it because of the weathering covering.

just my opinion.  :salute

Ink, just my opinion:
the belly is beautiful. But the top is a step back from the previous model. I guess you pulled the brake on your fantasy and made it after that photo.
In the other hand its ready to be an in-game skin  :aok
