New ship art work

Post by Hellfirejet »

Please let me introduce myself,I'm Kirk and (hellfirejet ) Graham was my uncle,I miss him much more than I can possibly say, he has done a great deal for me,so I thought how can I show what he meant to me.
So to cut a long story short, I'm training to be an artist,and since one off uncle Graham's great loves was his ship art,and he had shown me how he created the art work,and he was just starting to use an improved art software package when he was taken from us far to soon.I have decided in my spare time to carry on his work using the new art software,so here is the British Dreadnought Agincourt to get the ball rolling!

Ps: Uncle Graham wanted me to learn how to play these strategy games,and he did show me how,but alas I have no intention of playing,but rest assured I will carry on doing his art work in his stead,that is the least I could do for him.

Awesome. Thank you so much. Your uncle certainly left his imprint on this game, and I'm sure he'd be proud to know you're carrying on his legacy. [:)]

Hi Kirk, your work is really great, and would certainly meet Graham´s approval. Owing to a move of house, I have been offline most of the summer, and have only today been reconnected. Needless to say, it was with a shock I viewed the news of Graham´s passing. When Graham first began his art projects for WPO I helped him manage his ever-growing output by putting the work into packages and posting them for download. In time he was able to do this himself, but nevertheless Graham never forgot my small help, and always gave me sneak previews of his work. It saddens me deeply to know that he is no longer with us, but I take heart in your carrying on of the torch. Bravo to you! And please accept my most sincere condolences over the loss of your uncle.

Tex

I absolutely love the Great While Fleet paint scheme :)

Have you considered using Japanese camo paint scheme as well?

Ahhh, my personal favorite of all the pre-dreadnoughts. Not the most powerful, but certainly the most elegant. Great job Kirk!
