Skipper 24 Posted September 7, 2009 Another great work Rayman. I love how you always use bright colours with your designs. I'll try this out sometime I think. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
snefroe Posted September 7, 2009 can I, as a nose art freak of real airplanes, moan and complain for a second? this nose art doesn't make any sense... i mean, a bomb marking like these refer to a bombing mission... to my knoledge, these gunships aren't bombers, they're gunships, so instead of bombs they should probably have something like a laser beam... and eh... no migkillers around? no gunship having shot down a fighter of some type? hmmm... and eh... no "felix the cat", "skull 'n bones", "hat in the ring"? be creative! steel some real stuff! and now... please do continue... ah yes, you do know nose art normaly only appaers on one side, right?

pedro Posted September 7, 2009 Hey Rayman, superb gunship nose art. You've captured that whole cheeky, sexy, 'liberty belle' feel excellently. It'd be great to see examples where they've been used. Good work to you too, green dewback, the Wampa looks fierce on a gunship! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Forresto Posted October 5, 2009 I 'm wondering though if there is somthing wrong with your pictures because I would really love to save them but it won't show up on my computer, only red Xs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stash2Sixx Posted October 5, 2009 I really don't use stickers on my LEGO, but you are really makin' me think twice. These look great Rayman! You keep churnin' them out, and we will keep droolin' all over our keyboards! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Seijitai Posted November 12, 2009 (edited) Using Rayman's great template, I quickly did this nose art with the "Separatist Nightmare" (Clone Wars s02e05 - Landing at Point Rain). Comments welcome ! Edited November 12, 2009 by Seijitai Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KimT Posted November 12, 2009 Great job on that one. I really need to get more of those huge white slopes for all these great designs. Thanks for sharing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Oky Posted November 12, 2009 Awesome! The first thing I thought when watching that episode was that someone would hopefully make a decal of that. Thanks for being the one! You did it perfectly! Now I just need to get an RGS to apply these on. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

simonjedi Posted November 14, 2009 This weeks clone wars had a good nose art. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
_shaddow_ Posted November 14, 2009 You know what would be cool ? Do the same, but with lego minifig, it would be awesome. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RileyC Posted November 15, 2009 that would make a pretty awesome nose art sticker. I would be hard to do though Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rayman Posted November 15, 2009 Hey that Dooku nose art is pretty sweet - I haven't seen this week's episode yet. But you can bet your bottom dollar that I'll have it LEGO-rised soon enough. I should have a Count Dooku figure lying around somewhere. So that'll make for excellent reference. Just need to find some time between making custom minifigs. So I hope you can wait until I have the opportunity of bringing another piece of nose art to the forums. Looking good Seijitai . The nose art from that episode got me thinking about making both a custom clone helmet and of course the sticker. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
blksuperman2 Posted November 17, 2009 Awesome stuff Rayman. THese stickers look really authentic. Keep up the good work. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ras 74 Posted November 17, 2009 There is just more and more of those nosearts comming up in the new episodes of the CW series. Thinking of doing any of those as well Rayman? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JimBee Posted December 6, 2009 First off, I'd like to say that these are excellent, Rayman. Wonderful work on replicating the basic design of the real stickers. I have a question, though- what are the exact dimensions (in pixels or inches) of the stickers? I made my own nose art using one of yours, and I printed out only to realize they were too big for the slopes. I would showcase my art, but I don't want the surprise spoiled just yet. EDIT: Never mind, I did a little research, and my question has been answered: I had to resize mine down to 38% of Rayman's original to fit it to the 7x8 slope pieces. The actual size is .846 inches wide x .316 inches tall using 500 pixles/inch scale (yes, it makes a very big difference) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Commander Laquiet Posted December 6, 2009 These are looking great Rayman!. Can't wait for an update. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dennimator Posted December 7, 2009 Now this looks REALLY good! How do you draw them? I want one with my sigfig on, but I have no idea how to make it look good. Here´s a pic of my sigfig for reference (in the front): Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sok117 Posted December 9, 2009 man i really wish i had some artistic talent (beside building lego ) anyway, enough about my troubles, lets get back to praising you on excellent excellent EXCELLENT sticker designs and sorry for asking, but does anyone know what i need to print them on?

Legoroni Posted December 12, 2009 (edited) Could you turn this into a decal and "Lego-fy" it? It's called Plo's Bros Thanks Edited December 12, 2009 by Legoroni Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Swash Buckler Posted December 13, 2009 (edited) UPDATE!! 05/09/09 NEW WIP, please click page five for the link, thanks!-Rayman From my FBTB post As you may have noticed in the upcoming Clone Wars animation the Republic Gunship nose sport WWII-esque bomber art, which is very cool as it showcases another form of the growing indiviuality of the Clones under the command of Jedi. However I never knew that they could paint so well. :) This is my first non-minifg MOC, and although it is not what I usually do I enjoyed drawing this, and I do plan on making more gunship art as they appear in the TV series. The Aurek-Besh simply says Lucky Lekku 2 as I couldn't find out what this particular gunship was called. I'll change it when I find out. Otherwise she'll bear this name for now. The artwork is based on this gunship. I tried to caprture the style that LEGO used for their stickers so I was very liberal with the lineart making sure to retain weight variation throughout. Here is the FULL STICKER SHEET. Those with sharp eyes may have noticed that I have changed the colours on the Blue Twi'lek. The original Twi'lek wore a grey coloured clone suit which bothered me so I altered the colours on my version so that it is more true to Clone Trooper standards. The line weight and variations should correspond exactly with TLC's stickers. So if you are looking for some replacement stickers these should be as good as scan of the originals. I have also improved the contrast on the monkey lizard so that the colour of his beak stands out better against the outline. Other than that there are no changes. So if you are looking for some replacement stickers these should be as good as scan of the originals. Please feel free to use these in anyway you wish, and give credit where appropriate-- I don't mind if you don't :). Included are also a set of blank gunship nose stickers so that you too can design your own gunship art. WWII and Star Wars rock! 8) This one was so good that i used it in my custom gunship- thanks- i gave you a credit of course Edited December 13, 2009 by Swash Buckler Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Swash Buckler Posted December 13, 2009 This is some that i made with a paint -i post them here since i'm not sure should i do own topic for these- but these are inspired by Rayman's- so here you go: This is NOT Ahsoka just a legoized Togruta pin-up and my first gunship-decal so sorry she looks bit... disformed and well this one needs lots of work still : She is poorly done out of legoleia pic with paint - i may do better version of this "Queen Amidala's Revenge"...

RileyC Posted December 13, 2009 some good designs there Swash Buckler. My favourite has to be the droid skull and cross bones. I looks like something they would definitely put on the front of there gunship. Great work! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rayman Posted December 14, 2009 Could you turn this into a decal and "Lego-fy" it? It's called Plo's Bros Thanks Sweet! I haven't seen that one before. Thanks for the heads up Legoroni Will definitely have to do that one as well. Nice work Swash Buckler, it's always nice to see more artwork contributed to the pool. By the way would you mind posting up some photos of your custom gunship? I would love to see the stickers placed on an actual gunship. The Torguta's my favourite. You should try using Photoshop to draw up your decals you'll notice an instant improvement on the smoothness of your lines. I know that I've been keeping everyone waiting, but... I promise that I'll have two new designs completed and uploaded by next Monday. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
