Adridos, a surprise awaits in the Unit Insignia thread...

[Gun Bear]

Alright try number 2, I'm much happier with this one than I am with the one before it, colors are lighter so they stand out a little better and none of the blurry lines that appeared for some reason on the last one.



Oh and the smiley remakes an appearance just placed and blended a bit different.

Gun Bear, the only thing I can think of to do is to make the round GSS logo's on the left shoulder and the right leg more subdued. I still think it looks like a huge shadow across the middle, as if the Cat is standing behind something, but it's a much better looking shadow. Nicely done.

[Gun Bear]

I defined the lines underneath the insignias by adding a new layer and tracing the lines beneath over top of them, I also added a couple more decorations.

Well done!

[Gun Bear]

That earns Gun Bears seal of approval.

That's a wicked paintover Ironhawk! Nice work!

[Adridos]

Congratulations on the 100th page everyone and to OhGilPin, since he's the one that had the honor to post the first post on it.

Anyone up for a celebration repaint?

P.S: OhGilPin, looks like your mechs were infected by the Beast.

This thread is incomplete without Ironhawk's Death Commando's Raven! (though I still concerned about new Raven's design)

He refuses to do it, since someone did it already.

Never seen his direct refusal. And let me be honest: DC Raven attempt by ZnSeventeen is quite poor (I have no intention to insult respected artist ZnSeventeen), it's very difficult to picture shades of black as far as I know. So I still have a hope to see true Death Commandos' Raven.

[Ironhawk]

I actually thought I'd work on a GDL raven after my current piece. I totally understand ZnSeventeen's comment on the blacks. This is one color that's a puzzle to work with every time a new Mech comes out. You have to find that shade of dark gray that should give that feel of RL black color with the new template. If it's too black you miss details and highlights that make out your volumes in 3Dspace, so your image gets flattened.

If it's too gray, you just don't get black anymore. I suggest Zn should just tweak his dark grays a bit and refine his template. Sometimes I had to cheat and create a 'highlights' layer to keep my gray dark enough and still retain detail in sme key spots (but that takes a bit of time and tweaking to set up correctly).

Cheers!
