Request: Artwork for Upcoming Campaign
 

Hello all, I am currently working on a campaign and I would like to make it of the highest quality. That means outsourcing the artwork to someone else. ;)

I've seen some of the great work in the screenshot threads and would like to humbly request some assistance. Here is a list of what I need. They can be screenshots, original artwork, or anything else the artist wants to do.

The player will fly 109's with I./JG51 so I would like the artwork to focus on that Gruppe.

1. A large, widescreen format picture. This will be the "title shot", if you will, shown in the list of campaigns. By far, the most important.

2. A picture of a 109E-3 from I./JG51 with an aspect ratio of 4:3. This will be used to describe to the player the aircraft he or she is to fly.

3. Two more pictures with an aspect ratio of 4:3. One will be shown to the player after a successful mission, the other after a failed mission.


Full credit will be given to the artist. Feel free to put your signature in a corner on them as well. Thank you.

hi,

I would love to help you and do something usefull this vacation. I study graphic design so jobs like this sound always appealing to me. The problem is that I don't have the game jet so I can't take screenshots from bf109's to begin with. Editing them and putting some typography on them would be no problem. Maby I can try to draw them by hand...

Anyway,a benevolent co-author would be welcome. If someone would be willing to make some screenshots of bf109's on a good resolution (when possible with correct markings), I'm willing to do the rest of the job.

Il have a go...

Unfortunately, I can't take screenshots myself because my computer isn't powerful enough to show Cliffs of Dover's true face. I look forward to seeing what you can come up with though.

What sort of style do you want? arty or more action?

heres a few done real quick...

JG51 skins (Capt.Farrel)

Very nice Furbs. I like the way you didn't overdone them with photoshop.
How I wish I had this game. Still saving for a PC...

Cheers Zodiac! feel free to have a play with them. Would love to see what you can come up with.

Those look good. I especially like the one of "Black 3". I probably should have mentioned though, the aircraft will be using stock skins, so those are the ones I would like in the pictures. Sorry about that.

I was thinking of an action shot for the "title shot" and a calm shot of the aircraft. The success and failure shots could go either way.

Ok...i will spend some more time poking about.

About the skins, i would have a think about using Capt.Farrel's as they are top notch. Im pretty sure he would be ok about it as long as he is asked and credited.

heres his page...

I've looked at the way skins are handled in .mis files and I've decided I won't be using custom skins. The player is still free to choose any skin for his aircraft, but the AI will have to remain on stock skins for now. Also, to clarify, the title shot should be at least 1024 pixels wide and the others should be at least 800X600.

Ok, by the way did you like any of the last set of shots?

heres a shot you might like...

Or Zodiac might want to have a go at playing with the original shots.

nice shots furbs!

Cheers!

I like the third shot in that last set. Also the second and fourth at the bottom of the last page. I've attached a screenshot of the exact aircraft that the player will fly. Stab. I/ I.JG 51

ok, though there is some nice JG51 skins that come with the game that look much nicer... that's just the stock default 109 skin your using.

Just for kicks, I thought I'd take some screenshots while testing. They turned out better than expected.

Looking good!
