Attempting to get the templates to work through gimp is giving me a huge headache @_@ I think I'm just gonna leave it to others...

Can you please try this below and see if it works. It is how I am working, however, I wondered if it worked for anyone else.

Well I think (Hope and pray) I have found the solution. I don't think the Colour here layer works in GIMP (lol) - I have only tried this in the Jenner template.

Step one - go to the toolbox, there is a drop down menu where it says paintbrush click then click add tab, click layers.
This should give you a layers tab within the tool box - Click on it.

Step two - Then click "Color Here" layer in the layer toolbox - this makes the picture totally beige. In the work window (don't know what the real name is) there is a menu bar at the top, click Layer, go to stack, click Layer to bottom

Step three - Click the layer "white mutli" in the layer toolbox and then you should be able to colour in this layer (careful of the edges though, it doesn't stop you from going over the edge as it does in photoshop)

I hope this helps (and works) I am just about to try and go in detail. Will post the result.

EDIT: If you want to add an insignia you need to do so in the White multi layer otherwise it won't blend in.

Updated Urbie Design

Beefier is better as far as Urbie legs go! Done. And poor Urbie lost the arms race in this concept. So he's picking up on weaker than himself. Enjoy!

EDIT: Note the toes are adjustable so they can line up to the 'slipper' in Urban mode or spread out if terrain demands it.

Best design EVER, I really like the legs on this, I think you have come up with an inspired middleground for the feet. Also loving the metal bars over the knees (wish you could like a post more than once). I have changed my sig in honour of this drawing

That is beautiful T_T If I ever start playing TT, that will be my custom scheme...

Anyways, CC on it...I really can only find one single thing to poke at, the emblem on the close missile pod seems to 'stand out'. My only suggestions would be to make it ever so slightly transparent and see if it blends better, attempt to skew it to the left, or even both. I would recommend testing a skew to angle it with the missile pod first, that seems to be the most prevalent thing to me as I just looked at it again and it looks sort of flat compared to the missile pod's angle.

Also, if you wanted to spice up the Catapult any way, stripes, designs, etc. I would say go for it. I'm interested in what sort of things you could come up with to really turn it into a custom paint scheme. Just if you want to of course, I love it as is already. xD

I will give it a go tonight and come up with a bit more customised scheme for the 2nd. Any suggestions?

[Oswin Aurelius]

Any way I could get one of you over-achieving artists to make me a color scheme? I'd like it to be on the Centurion if ya can, please (omgthatthingisfreakingawesome).

I want it to be mainly orange, with black and white secondary colors (you know, like a fox). If you look back at page 40-something, there's a great Fire Mandrill Hunchback IIC that looks like what I'm looking for.

As far as any markings, just put the number '713' somewhere (preferably in a non-military looking font, but I'm open for whatever looks better), and a logo of a cute fox anywhere on it, like this:





I'll love you forever.

I did try this, it was the first thing I tried and then I attempted to mess around and try getting it to work by myself.

When I followed the steps,it didn't actually recolor the mech, it only tinted it. So if I used blue, it would stay white, but turn a grey/blue hue and look sort of airbrushed into the picture. I don't know why it didn't work for me, too tired to attempt to try getting it to work right now.

Darrin, you're going to get a stern talking to from Mason about using MultiQuote.

Maybe it's me but the torso/cockpit of this reminds me of a chopped Mini Cooper... Kind'a has a "Steam Punk" feel... not a bad thing mind you.

[Skwisgaar Skwigelf]

I like how the top is tilted forward to give the visor window that "pissed off" look.

[Dihm]

I like it because it's got that "trashcan got DFA'd and now my top isn't level!" look.

[Skwisgaar Skwigelf]

Nobody DFA's Urbie! Not nobody!

[Dihm]

Well I know what will make you feel better, as soon as this gets "finalized," I'm going to repaint the heck out of it and slap an unamused face on that gorgeous round top.

[Skwisgaar Skwigelf]

[ManDaisy]

I like this urbanmech but anything above the X belly button looks too tall and thin giving it a weird cone shape now. I suggest making the top part squatter and fatter, as in making in diameter bigger, like a mushroom but not to much like a mushroom. All in all that's still pretty damn impressive Ironhawk.

Sorry I didn't realise. It is just difficult trying to do a few conversations which have occured while you were asleep, while not wanting to confuse everyone by doing 6-8 multiquotes in one post.

This happened to me the first time . What I did was open the layers panel and clicked on each layer and tried it out until I found the layer that worked

Duse these rock loved the highlanders camo those guys are awesome.

I Would love to see a Black Thorns Mercenary Unit Camo Scheme.

From my brief look at the internet I can't find a camo scheme for them. They appear to be all grey, so I have done this mech which is a replacement for the recon lance and is done in a grey camo. I hope you like it.

If you are looking for another scheme I would love to see Grim Determinations!

VVVVVV

I hope you like this attempt, I am not the best at doing camos, I am only just starting to try out a bit more. I put the unit insignia on the leg. I did debate about putting in on the arm-shield however, I thought it detracted too much from the camo scheme

Well after Hayden's superb Catapult and all these other awesome resprays, I thought I'd give the Wolf Spider Battalion scheme a go myself. So thanks to Hayden for the template and John Clavell for the logo.

Thanks Garth and thanks to all for your feedback. It feels good after a rough week at the office.

[Sesambrot]

Oh crap, I totally missed out on you posting the lasted Urbie-sketch! SRY!
The legs look perfect now, but I gotta say I think it looked better with the arms, but maybe that's just me not caring about the original design lol it just feels to me as if the weapons are in the wrong place now...

srsly tho I dunno why I have to be so nitpicky, it's still awesome!
