Can someone make a XR2 skin themed after Hatsune Miku?
-have her color scheme (gray/turquoise/etc.)
-put an image of her on the right wing
-put the logo on the left
-put a red "01" on one of the wings
-make the tail the color of her hair
-have the design on her tie (two black piano keys?) implemented into the texture

Thanks!

If you don't know what that is:

Because Miku's cool, and I think it would look great on the XR2. Please?

Use this as the logo on the left wing (only the 初音ミク Hatsune Miku part):

For the right wing (you can cut off the bottom part if you want):

The art in that picture is the official art from Kei, though. That's the style you want, right? (if not the complete picture)
Edit: never mind, you edited it :P

You can show all of the body or cut off part of the body if you want (a la the box art).

Jeez, and here I think "A THREAD RELEVANT TO ME." I'll have to make some Luka skins for myself, then. :P
 
Eh, it's more fun to paint my slightly-modified DG-IV, so I think I'll do that instead.

Gotta be a spinning Luka, though. She needs a reach of 6700km rather than her previous 6300.
 
You know Pipcard, this is a good opportunity to try doing your own repaint. Pick up Paint.NET, GIMP or something better if you have it, the XR-2 repaint kit at Altea, crop, transparentify (better word, please? :lol:)and resize the picture/logo you have there, and have at it for a while. You might be surprised at the results. :)

Also...Vocaloid on O-F. It's everywhere. :huh:
 
While we're on that, I have a better template (cleaned off all logos, made the warning labels changeable outline fonts, changed the ridged panels and APU exhaust and some damage) that I used to make my JAL and ANA XR2J. I intended to make an Utsuho skin with that a while ago, but never got to it. (Reiuji Utsuho, Nuclear Hell Raven) :P

Would you have it readily available to share? :shifty:

The one from the XR2 website is driving me nuts. And trying to do anything asymmetrical with the DG-IV just isn't happening.

I'm not that good at making the small details of the texture (i.e. "Beware of blast"; "No step"; those small RCS exhaust thrusters)

The base colour scheme for mine

Source is

I'll add more decals for the "25th Anniversary Airshow" livery tomorrow. Sheryl's big poster goes on last on the dorsal fuselage (no blind cut and paste!).

I might make a standard VF skin too, based on the same template (which is itself based on other XR2 skins for weathering and panel realism.

I am using the Altea basic template as a base, and desaturated an existing skin to import the panel details, warning signs and scorch mark weathering effects.

I don't fancy showroom-pristine hangar queens in RL and same goes for simulated ships :D

Argh, I know what you mean. I gave up on a few DG-IV skins for that reason. Dansteph's textures are a bit too efficient sometimes... :lol:

Carmen_A's solution is a sound one. Take advantage of what's already done, where possible and allowed of course. :thumbup:
 
Also, I'm not sure how to modify an .PSD file (the XR2 paint kit) in GIMP. Sick of everything being aimed at Photoshop users.

EDIT: nevermind this post

EDIT: No wait, how do you fill in every polygon with one color?
