I need this 

[TrashMan]

I'd change the thruster petals.. Have the line go vertically instead of horizontaly. Should look better as it's easier to align.

[Galemp]

It needs more 'macro' scale details, like scorch marks around the engines, impact burns, dirt and grime around the panel edges; that kind of stuff. Some warning labels and flight decals (like those on the Medusa or Valkyrie) would go a long way to making it more real, too.

[pecenipicek]

i have to ask again Jadehawk, would you be willing to work for The Apocalypse Project team? If yes, add me on msn, i'll fill you in on the details.

[Jadehawk]

Hey fellas Just got home several hours ago from working OT.

Again thanks to each and everyone of you for helping out with your opinions. It's MUCH appreciated! 

I think I finally got the pixalating...(if that's a word), figured out. Also, don't feel like your pestering me with your critique as your not! I like to hear others opinions, both good and bad. 

I changed the Thruster vanes again... and I think they are too dark? Comments and\or suggestions on that? I also added more detail here and there and also will add some service markings soon and I will save that for near the end of the Ezechiel reskin.   I also corrected some alignment issues as well. I hope the color and hue is better now for the ship?

Yo, Pecenipicek, I'll get back to ya on that issue seriously! I'm not sure what I can help with, but I want to complete this first before I dive into something else.

I'll contact ya on MSN later today or tomorrow as this is my "Daddy weekend" and my kids come first.

Galmp, thanks for reminding me as noted that just above!

Trashman, hows the new ones? Suggestions?

And everyone else, Fire away your comments and ideas. 

[TrashMan]

Looking good. Add warning/danger labels..those arrows and similar stuff.

[Galemp]

Looking better already, those panels really pop out now. Nice blending on the painted stripes overlapping the panel seams, too!

[Hellstryker]

HOT DAMN!  Would you be willling to texture for the TotT team? Or BWO, or TAP for that matter, since We're just younglings to the forum and hold little authority really. Do what you like, but put those skills to good use. 

[Jadehawk]

Thanks fellas! Question.... after all this re-skinning I'm doing, What the hell is a Ezechiel anyway? 

[Jadehawk]

Hey Hellstryker, I guess my PM to you didnt work? Sent one last week  just as I was starting this stating I would give it a go. I also would be helping out Pecenipicek if I can.  Like I said to him, I'll do what I feel I can help out with and I'm still trying to get my bearings on how all this works out. Just so you guys know that! 

Also, I'm off until this evening (Pacific Coast time zone). So no replies until then.

[ShadowGorrath]

Try inverting the colours

[Jadehawk]

I happen to have the idea of doing an SOC version that is somewhat like you mentioned! Good call! 

[Galemp]

What the hell is a Ezechiel anyway? 

Alternate spelling of Ezekiel, an Old Testament prophet.

As long as he helps a project who's in dire need of help it's ok, otherwise...meh...

TAP, for example, needs its models to be textured...right?

pecenipicek docet...

My Evening update

I added in some weathering and panel wear. I happen to prefer LIGHT weathering versus heavy stuff. Just my preference is all

Here are three more.







Notice I changed the squadron stripe color... Well that's because the Jade color is reserved for my Wing. The 318th Fighter Wing also known as the Jade Dragons.
Rich in history, They were one of many of the GTA Fighter Squadrons formed back before the Great War and also one of the last Fighter squadrons out of Capella Node before the Shivans pulled the plug on it's sun. Most of the Fighter wing was lost fighting the Shivans and protecting the last ships out of Capella that the Wing was never rebuilt until now.

It's new Commander was one of the few left alive. Vice Commander Christophe Ivanov was a strappin Lieutenant with just over a year in service at the time of the Capellan exodus. A sharp Pilot and steady gun slinger, he was flying on his Commander's wing at the time and, he knew his number was up when they had their backs up against the wall in a nearly hopeless situation. But as long as the refugees were able to escape, then it all was well worth it. Just as they were ordered to fly back through the node, their Commander answered a call for help just as the Sun went Supernova and was ordered by his Commander to escort the last through the node. That was the last time anyone ever saw Commander Vince Kotosama.
I could go on, but...that's another story! 

Any Comments on the current weathering? Yeah I know Service markings....they are next.

[Jadehawk]

And for you SOC fans out there...I hope this passes your muster! if not, please stand behind the rear left thruster while I check the throttles 

[Droid803]

Darker metal on SOC variant = LIKE.

[IceFire]

So it IS the same Jadehawk!  Hey!  NS-Ice/IceFire from the IL-2 community...I see we cross some of the same communities.  Jadehawk does some fantastic work...he once skinned a set of three Ki-100 fighters for a IL-2 campaign I was doing.

Great work with the Ezechiel!  Venom would be proud!

[Galemp]

Awww, I liked the jade stripe.

Can we convince you to do the GTVA/SOC variants in the same color scheme as the Artemis/DH variants? Like, white with pink, and teal with white?

[Jadehawk]

Yup! Dat be me Ice-Fire and thanks for the complements! Nice to see you around these parts!

Freespace was my original love when it came to Flight sims. When I was able to bring it onto my XP machine, it was love all over again! But this time I can contribute back far more than I did long ago. I'm still messing with Skins for Il2, but they are one the back burner and I think you know why too now!
