Japanese ship art

[kirk23_MatrixForum]

Hi folks can you help me a little please,I have created this art for the Aircraft Carrier Hosho class,but my problem is I just can't decide on a colour scheme, I like for the Japanese ship's, I want them to stand out during the combat screen action, feedback regarding a fav colour you would like to see them displayed in would be much appreciated regarding this matter,cheers[;)]

I do want all Japanese ships to have a red waterline.[:)]

[kirk23_MatrixForum]

Here is another version off the Hosho,this is not a finnished project by any means,it's just an idea at this stage ?[;)]

National flags incorporated into the ship art, might also become as standard feature I'm toying with at the moment,again feedback regarding this would be most welcome thanks.[;)]

Hi Graham, could this flag be a bit smaller, about the size of the German ensign on the Scharnhorst?

[kirk23_MatrixForum]

Yes I can make the flag any size no problems.

[kirk23_MatrixForum]

Hi Tex,
Any preference on the colours scheme of the Japanese ?

[tex]

Was there a difference between, say Tsushima and World War One?

[kirk23_MatrixForum]

Nope as far as I know they were boring battleship grey.[:(]

[tex]

Well then, how about boring battleship gray? [:)]

Hi folks this is what the standard Japanese ship will look like,colour wise anyway,here is the Japanese Aircraft Carrier Hosho class [;)]

Hehehehe I just noticed that the Japanese flag is the wrong way round in this picture,don't worry when this ship is available for download the flag will be corrected,sorry for that booboo[&:]

[kirk23_MatrixForum]

Sorry about the booboo in the previous post regarding the flag being back to front,it has been corrected as you can see in this picture.[:D]

[comte]

Looking good so far [:)] The flag is a little big though. Are you gonna redo some of the art for the US ships that would be sweet [:)]

[kirk23_MatrixForum]

Hi Aces8,I think the flag is slightly big as well,I will reduce the size before it is available for download,as for the US ships, yes I'm planning on doing all ship's in the database,so yes is the answer.[;)]
