That's looking good already... :up: :yep:
someone told me once that patience is a virtue... I am not a virtuous man then... :damn:
SWC: I gave the idea, but don't forget that you are the artist here, so please feel completely free to do with it what you consider best. Thanks a lot my friend.

My first sub was an IXB I painted over from one of Koon's subs; the digi camo:
Vengance is Mine:

My current sub is a requested VIIC from CapZap, this is yet to be named - I'll leave that to him - and it's being painted under his direction.

CapZap's VIIC currently under construction:
http://www.beyond-the-shadows.org/bt...cs/capzaps.jpg
Just testing the water to see what'll look best on this sub. The whole sub is a bright grey, nearly white, and what was requested was straight lines; vertical, horizontal, and diagonal. So far I'm still trying to get the right look on the design.

Had to post the pics to my first subs so that got re-arranged on you there Cap, sorry for that.

I'm happy with the background but as for the lines...well...I had to remove those. Wasn't exactly looking too great on that skin. Working on another idea you might like better :up:

Carotio 12-14-07 09:41 PM

Interesting skins, especially the Pink Playboy :lol:
Maybe a result of "your Wild Night in Bangkok"... :rotfl:


EDIT:
Damn, you got the time to post, so your "nice" avatar changed....

Whatever you decide is fine, and may I do a suggestion?
Try lines first and perhaps as another test solid shapes with defined edges (triangles, polygons and/or diamonds) all irregular.
Hope you give it a thought. :up:
Since you gave me the honour of naming it, if it's Ok with you, I would like to call it "Atlantic Reaper" no matter the final outcome.

-SWCowboy. 12-14-07 09:59 PM

Atlantic Reaper it is :cool: I'll follow your suggestion cause what I've got on it now still ain't working for me. I swear I'm stuck on stupid tonight :nope:

Carotio that was what happened when I pulled out of Bangkok LOL I did see my avatar - I dang near croaked when I thought I'd be stuck with it for the next 10 posts :lol:

Need some inputs here;
a. carry the camo pattern down on the lower portion of the hull below the waterline -or-
b. paint everything below the waterline black

It doesn't look half bad, the only thing sticking out like a sore thumb is that completely white half...

IMO it would look much more impressive (more reaper-like) with the black hull.... :hmm:
But that's just an idea and so far it's looking very, very good!! :up:
Just as a test, thicker lines, maybe?

In the middle of the Atlantic Reaper project (which is finished btw) I also finished my Mid Life Crisis VIIC. It's being uploaded to my site as this is typed up:

http://www.beyond-the-shadows.org/do...crisisviic.jpg

The bow shot close-up shows what's covering the skin above the waterline, it looks amazing when you look at this boat in camera mode :cool:

CapZap1970 12-15-07 09:50 AM

what can I say? amazing!!!!:o :up:
when did you finish that one?
You should be called the "VIIC skins Machine"
Great job as always.
now that you mention that the Atlantic Reaper is finished, when will we be able to lay our hands on it?
Curiosity is killing me... :hmm:
CapZap

-SWCowboy. 12-15-07 09:56 AM

You mean this Atlantic Reaper?

http://www.beyond-the-shadows.org/do...reaperviic.jpg

It's being uploaded to my site right now :cool:

I'm the self proclaimed master of the seven c's Cap hehehe

I think you have the well deserved name of "Mater of the 7 C's!!!! :up:
It's amazing SWC!!!!
Congrats and thank you very much. i am making a special emblem (theme related) for this great skin. Once it's done, i will pass it to you.
Just a question: Is it rust what i see on the white areas??? :hmm:
CapZap

-SWCowboy. 12-15-07 10:12 AM

You're not seeing rust in that skin Cap, it's an underlying secondary camo pattern :cool:
I'm glad you like it bro, I'm sure a lot of other people around here are gonna like it as well :up:
Should be neat to see this emblem, now I've got something to look forward to when I get home from the beach this afternoon :lol:

Cap let me get this for ya bud...:hmm:

Hey Russ...put down the paint gun...your freeking high :|\\

Cap dont like the shoe string look you got going on..he would like something similar to the post he has pointed too...:yep: The camo pattern he so politely posted bro...
Quote:

I was wondering if at some point you would like to try a pattern like this for a second variant of your "Prawler", for a VIIc, of course:
http://i156.photobucket.com/albums/t...cGhostCamo.jpg
i know it is not a good skin, but that's the limit of my skinning skills. :oops:
Besides, now that I think about it, it looks too bright, it should look darker. Well, maybe it's a bad idea after all.
Is that it Cap? He has temporarily been requisitioned by the wife to take her to the beach...and I dont mean *&$%^...hes under orders not to fail...
