Glad to see the site up and running. Been a lurker to the previous incarnation of this one, and the il2skins site. Anyway - wish you guys luck and I look forward to discussions about the "art" of skinning, amongst other things.


Enclosed are some screens of skins I've done for AH.

The pictures look all so dark in this sim. Is it just that Il-2 displays aircraft alot brighter then Aces High or is it the design of your skins.

They are still nice and skillfull skins!

Alot has to do with monitor settings / type of monitor. I'm running a dual monitor setup - one which no matter if it's properly calibrated still displays everything dark. The other is is the one that I do the majority of may work on, and I normally have adobe gamma loaded. Theres alot of variances. Funny I worked for a long time drawing stuff without ever calibrating my monitor...lol. It's amazing the difference. Also it takes awhile to get used to.

Big thing is deciding on your "Black" point - and reference to that. I usually try to keep a "pure black" on drawings around RGB 40,40,40. I tend to like things drawn a little bit darker. Drawings that start out with a black part around rgb 65,65,65 starts looking like gray / washed out to me.

I imagine theres lighting differences between the 2 sims as well and how they relate to the models.


I might have to D/L some il2 skins and compare RGB values and see whats going on...lol
