Good artists required...

...to do some graphics work for me. The attached image shows 3 planes, all 3 of which I am featuring in my current WIP, "Red Storm". The top 2 are an F-104 Starfighter and an F-14 Tomcat, respectively. The problem is that the style they are in doesn`t correspond with the style of the other planes in my scenario, which are in the style of the plane at the bottom, which is an F-4 Phantom if you`re interested.

If anyone is willing to do me an F-104 and and F-14 in the style of the F-4 (hope you got all that

) then I would be eternally grateful.

And while we`re on the subject of graphics, does anyone know of where I can get a decent intro graphic for Red Storm? Something suitably dramatic, like a NATO flag and a Soviet flag crossed over each other in tatters, or something similar?

Paul Hanson · July 27, 2001, 12:33

Don`t know why it didn`t display the image.

Henrik · July 27, 2001, 12:42

It has to be a gif or jpg

Paul Hanson · July 27, 2001, 14:56

Hmmm...think I`d get more replies if I converted it?

Henrik · July 27, 2001, 15:00

Propably not but if you do, the forums will display your picture.
I was answering your question

Paul Hanson · July 27, 2001, 17:11

I know, but I asked you a second question.

Maybe you should find a Political map of europe with warsaw pact nations in red and nato countries in blue with red arrows driving into the blue. i'll look around and try to find something for you.
I can't do units so please don't ask, mine stink

I'm not sure how useful this is going to be, but here's all the 1970's-80's aircraft graphics I've got. Most of them are taken from a compilation put out by Jimmywax

Paul Hanson · July 28, 2001, 06:55

Thanks for the effort, but none of these are what I`m looking for. I like your idea for a title pic though, so if you can find anything like that I`d be grateful.

P.S Did the Warsaw Pact have a logo, like NATO does?

BeBro · July 28, 2001, 10:20

Paul, how fast do you need the title.gif? I would make it, but I just agreed to make something for JayBee, and I´ll finish my own scn also. But if you give me some days, I´m sure I can help you with this...

Paul Hanson · July 28, 2001, 12:16

Do it in your own time. It`s a scenario for God`s sake: it isn`t that important.

BeBro · July 28, 2001, 12:36

Ok, "my" idea is to do what you have suggested

(NATO flag and Soviet flag), and perhaps a pic of a Soviet tank or a plane in the foreground. I would also put in the scn title ("Red Storm") and a "made by Paul Hanson" line below, if thats fine for you.

Paul Hanson · July 28, 2001, 13:20

Sounds good, but leave out the "made by Paul Hanson" line. I`m not really into all that sort of shameless self-promotion.

BeBro · July 28, 2001, 13:26

Hey, I thought "shameless self-promotion" is all what counts for us scn makers...

But ok, no problem.

I drew a F-104 Starfighter for ya, Paul, hope you like it. I put a Canadian insignia, just because I'm a canuck and the Canadians used this plane.

BeBro · July 28, 2001, 17:08

Hey, it looks very good! Where are your scenarios?

Hobbes · July 28, 2001, 17:29

Thanks, BB. I DO have a scenario, it was made a long while ago and is called "Hannibal", I believe you can find it at the CSC, and it's the non-German one. Unfortuately, many of my other scenario ventures were put to an end when my dad formated my harddrive, without backing up my Civ2 stuff, so I lost my incompleted scenarios, which consisted of a WWI scenario, as well as one about Atilla the Hun, and a scenario about the Northwest Canadian Rebellion. Presently, I am finished the graphics and am working on the events on my Zulu scenario, so I hope for it to be out later this year.

Hobbes · July 28, 2001, 20:28

oh, and here's a title page for your scenario, Paul:

Hobbes · July 28, 2001, 22:23

one last thing: your F-14

Paul Hanson · July 29, 2001, 08:35

Perfect! These graphics are excellent! Hobbes, I can`t thank you enough. Rest assured, your contributions will be credited in the scenario readme, as soon as it`s done (don`t hold your breath

)

Paul Hanson · July 29, 2001, 10:40

Problem - the colours on the title.gif are all screwed up.

BeBro · July 29, 2001, 11:29

Please try this out...

Hobbes, I hope it is no problem that I "modified" your work? I only fixed the palette...

Hobbes · July 29, 2001, 12:21

BB, go ahead, mess around with it all you want, I ripped most of it off from another site anyway

Paul, glad you like my planes. This scenario looks kickass, and I want it to be done!

Paul Hanson · July 29, 2001, 14:34

The modified pic works fine. Thanks to both of you.
