You know, there's a Commando GDL floating around here, too.

That's right Hayden.

The Commando wasn't supposed to be there. That one is already behind enemy lines!

Does that work with Gimp?

Yes this is what got me started.
One key point to remember when painting over something with a layer is to make sure you remove the color of what ever is below it. you get bouth colors bleeding together if you dont. to do this i choose { Colors/ Hue-Saturation/ } Set Saturation to -100. also make sure the paint layer is on Soft light. This alows the background texture to remain.
Hope that helps.

Don't forget that the clone tool is your friend too. Some concept art paint jobs don't all "disappear" when primed, and you need to touch it up. Like the Awesome's chest racing stripes.

Now they look like machines of War & not the Glory boys on a poster.I still think the Awesome should drop the power fist & carry another PPC there instead of on the torso.

Here you go Chuckie, don't say I never did anything nice for you.

Sorry for the grungy look but its how the filter went on. I think it looks pretty cool myself. I put your Knights of NI badge on the left shoulder, your personal logo on the right torso, the NWH Regimental logo on the left per cannon specs. I also put your personal tartan on the right leg per cannon specs. I hope you like it. Let me know if you need anything changed.

One suggestion, your 3 mechs have differing shades of grey. They might look better if you could make them all uniform.
I think the Awesome looks the best IMO.

Alright, I'm jumping back into the painting gig it just for this one. I did a variant Commando I posted earlier, removing the Monocle. So I decided why not paint it up in my fave Colors, the Periphery Star Guards (PSG). Its a simple one, yet also not so simple as trying to get the colors to flow properly is key. I still think my first Hunchie I did this way was better.

EDIT: GIMP is difficult sometimes. Not everything translates directly from Photoshop well

I'm not terribly good at repainting these things, but I thought I'd give the commando, centurion and jenner a go in our Wolf Spider Battalion colour scheme. The hunchback I did a little while ago not sure if I posted it here though. Last one before I hit the sack is the atlas, not sure if I'm keen on this one, but maybe it's just because I don't like the atlas much...

Yea, I threw it up there last night when I finished to see what people thought. And depending on my laziness factor I might try to bring the other two in line with the one I did in the middle; The other two are awesome repaints by others on the forum (I think Ironhawk painted the Cat, but I'm not sure about the amazing atlas, my CO just posted it for me to work with on our website). They look excellent in their own right but making them uniform would definitely look nice.

The Atlas was Hayden's.

20% more Awesome! You can thank Grimm for this one, it was he who sparked the interest.

Looks great.. !

Only one thing with the camo pattern being expanded so large, the green / blue seems a bit overpowering.. Was thinking a more Black/Grey Camo like the GDL but with a tighter Camo pattern.. I think the only real change would be to grayscale the camo pattern.

Also could you swap the head (and make it larger) on the shoudler and the insignia on the chest..

BTW love the 9Q arm on it..

Ok this ended up taking a while; probably took the long route by doing a shed load of masks and all that, did not know what to use as background so just chucked in a Piranha Games logo sadly I could not find a hi-rez one, I may put together some more images with this re-paint, I just need a little break.

I'm very intreseted in what method you used to deform the stripes to match the contour of the mech.

OhGilPin, on 31 March 2012 - 07:47 AM, said:

I did it by hand using masks and making sure they bent at the angle of the Mech, so it took me a long time I started this on wednesday and slowly chipped away at it since then.

Ah, the long and hard way that *cringes* takes for ever but produces the best results. Good work there man you deserve some props.

Kosh, the Vorlon from Babylon 5 is an Awesome now?

Great repaint!
