Maybe I'm missing something...[:(] Cobra Aus. You are pumping out duplicate art at a feverish pace. TA has most of this done already. No offence, but it seems like a waste of your time. Anything we are missing which needs art guys?

Hey Cobra, what camo schemes are you using? I don't recognize half of those.

no offence taken its all under control
I'am working hand in hand with Don each day and it looks like there will be at least 5-6 sets of ship icons released when mod comes out so players have a lots to choose from. Don has a lot of requests for this to take place plus I have a number of happy campers who want a full set of the icons that I'am doing - Overkill - sure is but you can only use one at a time up to players which one. I think an installer (multi choice) will be created
1.standard matrix haze grey the ships that Don has created
2.TankerAce's icons normal
3.TankerAce's cameos (which are great and historical)
4.a shils only set (cameo)
5.My set
6.3d shils when done
you have at least 3 others working on aircraft so most likely will have a number sets released
and in answer to TankerAce I'am not following any particular scheme just using gradients
and patterns available in PSpro and Photoshop - not historic I know

If you can recognize half of them I should have been a painter duing the war - pure fluke

As most of us do not have a sen to test with here is a sample panel showing a random sample of cameo and how they might possibly show up on a battle screen background

So, who is doing the air craft art?

Subchaser had done my art, but it seems like Elf is doing quite a bit.

Is there a division of labor? Is Subchaser busy with other things?
I need some finalized art or Don is going to rip my arm off and beat me over the head with it!

What - a nice guy like me?? The worst one has to fear from me is an example of my vocabulary extensions due to naval service.

Mike,
Right now I am fully occupied with the planetops. I collect and send planeside profile s when I find them and I have many that are available for guys like Subchaser to make use of. I am capable of branching out into other areas, but due to the sheer volume of Allied tops alone, I am limiting my involvement to that. I am gently working back over to the Japanese tops too. When I finally get a look at the new aircraft in the file you sent I will focus efforts there (Just got back into town after a long weekend trip).

In my mind Subchaser has been the one and only planeside artist. No need for anyone else to get involved. But that is just my opinion.

Okay, Subchaser i am sending you all of my aircraft needs, plus maybe 1 or 2 extra. Then, I will give the list to Elf for tops.

Good?

I'm just wondering why all these ships are traveling so light. You dont usually see those red "waterline markers" or whatever you call them.

As suggested by Ron, here is the first draft of the Georges Averoff, a WWI era Greek Armored Cruiser.
