Adventurers decals remakes

[LuxorV]

This time is just a small pack of remakes. I decided to re-create the decals of 3 Adventurers minifigs I don't own. More may come later.

Alexis Sinister:

Gabarros (good as a Pirate torso, too):

Max Villano (a possible WW character, too):

Later on this week I'll post a more interesting pack with no less than 12 remakes . Stay tuned!

Very nice! The Adventurer's line offers a lot of reuse possibilities in Indy, Pirates, Town, and other themes, so they're great decals to have.

It's interesting to compare your version of Alexis with mine (I'm fairly sure that in all the years since she was made, no one had made her and then we both did ). One of the things that stands out, to me, is how there are a couple of slight differences based on the printing of the source we used. Comparing a couple of them online, I see that there really are small variations between them, despite probably not really being different except in the quality of printing.

Of course, I still don't antialias... For some reason, in my mind, I have to control every pixel, one by one, and if I want a line to be a colour, it has to all be that colour, even if it looks better 'smoothed' out by varying shades around it. It's why I started off at 600dpi, knowing that it would smooth out when printed.

I did try making a decal using vectors once, and it was very smooth and nice, but it seemed to lose details. I may have to continue experimenting. I've only recently started playing with gradients in decals, after seeing some of your work.

What does all of this have to do with the Adventurers? Well, um...

Nice decals!

Excellent! You filled one of my requests before I could make it. And I will definitely be staying tuned.
