Wow, incredible work you have done there.

Would you accept requests?

I´d so run a Warhawk in Clan Nova Cat alpha galaxy as my background...

Too bad you cannot edit the weapons in the photo, Odanan, or I would request you modify EarlGray's request so that it was a Charlie configuration instead. . I mean, I intend to be running almost exactly that, after all, though with the ERPPC and LPlas evenly split between both arms and the flamer traded out for another DHS or an ERMlas....

That's quite possible.

Hey, Nova Cat guys, I hid 2 Easter eggs in the Stormcrow above. There are 2 symbols/runes that are related to the Stormcrow but belong to another IPs. Can you tell me what they are?

I have identified one:


Gandolf's icon.

[Der BruzZzler von Wiesndoof]

I've found one! There is Clan Cloud Cobra insignia on the Storm Crow's left leg!

You mean LOTR's Gandalf? Why should I add his rune here?

[MechB Kotare]

Amazing man.

It probably gonna sound stupid, but could you provide me with a quick guide as how to repaint concept art so beautifully?

I mean. I know you're probably using Photoshop lol...

But what tool are you using? What image adjustements etc etc.

Thanks in advice.

Well, it is indeed... but that's the Xi Galaxy's insignia. Try again.

Because he is referred to as The Stormcrow. Was this a test? But for the life of me I cannot locate the other icon. Or rather, I suspect I know which icon I am looking for, but cannot find a match for it. :\

Yes, Photoshop.
Something like this:
1- remove the background. I do it with the Polygonal Lasso Tool. I zoom the image and start selecting the background out of the mech itself and then I delete it.
2- I clean up the mech, removing decals and stuff, usually with the Clone Stamp Tool.
3- I normalize the colors. That's tricky... normally I select one color and change the hue to look like the other (using Image/Adjustments/Replace Color) and them I desaturate the whole mech (turn it to grey), with Image/Adjustments/Desaturate.
4- I select the whole mech (Ctrl + left click on the mech layer) and copy. Them I paste this copy of the mech in a new layer. I turn this new layer to all black (by using Image/Adjustments/Hue-Saturation and setting the Lightness as -100).
5- This layer can be colored now with the Paint Bucket Tool. It will be the "paint layer".
6- In the paint layer, I set it as Overlay, Soft Light or Multiply to reach the desired coloring.
7- Now again with the Polygonal Lasso Tool I remove the parts I don't want to paint (usually the cockpit, the internal metal, etc.), leaving only the painted parts.

That's the very basic. I'm pretty sure there is a full tutorial somewhere here in the forums.

If you want to skip the first 5 steps, just grab a template made by the guys on the Repainted Concept Art thread.

Very good!

The other one is hard indeed. Only those initiated will know...

One answer is better them none, so I will work on your Warhawk, but after I do my Firestarter repaint. (the concept art is so gorgeous...)

EDIT: typos.
