March 31, 2007.
As Vraciu mentioned updating old artwork to viability with the constraints of the newest rendering software requires major under the hood balancing and polishing of pretty much everything to get it to look the way it did or better all those years ago in a virtual sky far far away.
And there she is a ghost from long ago looking better than ever. Oboe deliberately retained the original work in a way that would make professional art restorers applaud and personally I am thrilled with the results.
Thank you Oboe for accomplishing this.
Thank you to Vraciu and Greebo also for generously and graciously sharing the original Fester P-51d bitmaps that even I no longer had. That kindness made this possible and Oboe’s kindness in preserving the original work so exquisitely makes my heart glow to know Oboe decided that the work I did all those years ago was worth saving for artistic and sentimental reasons.
Great write up too!
This really made my day.
Thanks again.
