Requests For Artwork.

[bstarr]

CobraAus or any inspiring WITP artist,
This is a pretty tall order to ask, but I was wondering if someone could make some shills and pics of the French Navy, facing as with the Jap ships. I've always wanted to do a SuperJapan mod and have been seriously tinkering with adding several ships from the Vichy French Navy to the Japanese navy.

the main classes I'd like to have are:
CV Bearn
CV Joffre (semi-fict)
BB Dunkerque
CA Suffren
(I already have Algerie)
CL Galissonniere
(La Fantasque & L'Adroit are in the game)
DL Vauquelin
DD Le Hardi and/or DD Bourrasque

and if you just love it and can't stop -
ML? Bouganville
BB Bretagne
AMC Generic, flying French colors
AK Generic, flying French colors
and any of the other CA, CL, DL, DDs you may want. (or anything else for that matter)
bs

ps. I feel pretentious as hell asking someone to do around a dozen drawing for free. Not pretentious enough to offer money, though. [:D]

[bstarr]

I tried Dunkerque myself - mixed results.

[Mifune]

Alright, I need a Me-264 with Japanese markings. Here is one with a side and a top.

[Mifune]

And here is a Me-264 side with German markings. Any assistance is appreciated.

How's this? The .bmp image is a little crisper than this JPEG. BMP images tend to distort a little when you save them to JPEG images so they can be posted in the forum. I can PM you with the .bmp for the game if you like.

[bstarr]

Ah-ha Now I see why I never got a reply. I guess you gotta post a pic. I'll have to dig up some pics, but first off I could use the Dewoitine D.520. And top art, if possible (I don't have a pic for that)

[Dixie]

Here you go

[bstarr]

Dixie,
Thanks! I'll have dozens more ASAP.
bs
ps. Any possibility of top art?

[Mifune]

Gary, thank you for the side. Is there anybody that can help with the tops for the Me-264?

[GaryChildress]

Here are the tops I did. I haven't checked them out in-game yet so they may need a little tweaking. Good luck with them if you decide to use them. [:)]

[bstarr]

these planes already exist in the allied files, I just need tops and sides done with French markings, facing as Japanese planes.  (I tried to draw one myself.  Yuk!  Planes apparently are a little harder than ships)
 
Martlet
DB-7B-3 (A-20)
Vought V-156F (SB2U Vindicator)
 

[Dixie]

Here's the sides for 2 of the planes.

[Dixie]

And the martlet

[bstarr]

Thanks, they look great.

[bstarr]

Top and side please, French colors, facing as Japanese

[bstarr]

. . . and, ditto colors, facing etc

[bstarr]

These are my attempts at ships. Dixie told me how to go about transfering these to the cloudy background, but I'm so busy with the modding, I'd rather leave the art to those more talented in that field. Speaking of which, if someone wants to touch these up, be my guest. I'm not particularly proud of any of them.

btw, these are the ships depicted:
First row, Top to bottom, these are Commandant Test, Bearn, Le Hardi Class DD, Dunkerque Class BC

second row, Suffren class CA (they look almost identical to Algerie class, so I just slightly altered Cobraus' Algerie; that's why it looks better)

[bstarr]

and, since I'm already flooding the thread with requests I might as well throw in one of the dozens of ships I still need - La Galissonniere Class CL. (It's simliar in size and gun layout to the Japanese Agano, if that's any help)

Hi Big B, one more itsy bitsy request for the Japanese when you get a chance, then I'll definitely be finished with the IJN (I plan on adding a few DDs also but they will be based on existing game designs).

I'd like to add two or three CLAAs to their building queue based on this model. I think it would have made a lot of sense for the IJN to incorporate a few of these in their fleet later on in the war. It'll fill up the queue with a lot of extra ships so whoever is playing the Japanese will definitely have to play around a bit halting/accelerating various ships to get the ones he deems most important.

Many thanks! [&o][&o][&o]

That is a nice looking ship, what type of stats did you give it the database for your mod? I am very curious about the gun caliber on all of those turrents, a DP weapon I presume?

[DuckofTindalos]

3.9-inch Type 98's, if I remember correctly...
