Help with a plane graphic please anyone?

[XyZspineZyX]

Hi, im absolutely useless at art unfortunately but want to have a symbol on the side of my plane which i would imagine is fairly simple for the artistic type to do!

Is there any kind person out there who might spend a little time doing this symbol for me? I can give more details later!


Thanks in advance

Thanks guys...all i want making is an evil looking skull with a spanish hat on like the bull fighters wear (a big emphasis on the spanish part!), do you know the type? And a scythe (spelling?) going across.

Ive got adobe and hopefully somehow will then be able to transport it onto a yak3 skin.

I know its not very original but probably....like you absolutely nuts about this game including the old IL2.

Thanks in advance

do you have a picture of this any where on the web?n or on your computer?

[XyZspineZyX]

No sorry i dont. Im not bothered about it being too mega detailed to be honest but i would really like it. Ive had a mess with paintshop myself but im just not good at Art...never was never will be. Also i guess that its best to have a graphics tablet of some sort where's ive just got the mouse.

GREAT! That'll do it thanks.

Now...have you got any idea how i can resize and cut and paste it onto my yak3 skin with Adobe Paintshop?

ok save the picture as the jpg or whatever it is, then open it in photoshop, either lasso it if that will pick it all up and copy it, then drop the picture down and open the skin one up you wish to add it to, then paste it as a layer (not in index mode ok), delete any surrounding bit you dont require then in the menu select transform and reduce it down in scale, once you have the size you want use adjust colour contrast in the menu's to adjust it till you get the brightness you require and then use the opacity on the layer to reduce it a bit so it blends in or vice versa......... job done, any questions fire away,
