How do I convert the bitmap to a jpeg to make it easier to post.
Click to expand...



go to whatever picture publisher or paint shop you are operating, open up the picture, then go to file, click save as, then in the box at the bottom that says file type open it with the arrow at the side highlight jpeg then click save.

Now THIS is what I'm talkin' about!

Check out the artwork on this tank! I wouldn't put a flag on my tank, but the artwork is incredible!

The depth of color makes the tank look deformed or bent!! That is some serious airbrushing & blending!! :bow:

See what I'm trying to go for here??

that is amazing.............

I saw a bike a while back, that had what looked like ridges all over it. I had to go and touch it, and it was totally smooth. Just ace airbrushing.

Probably not what you're looking for Adam but I like this SP1 in a messy,bitty sort of way.

A mate of mine was going to get birds feathers airbrushed onto his black 'bird but he was going to have the feathers done in a pruple irridesant so they shimmered while on the move, (His words not mine). Then he put his spliff down and bought a RS250 Aprilia!

Haven't seen any done like this but I think the shape of the bird would lend itself well to some tribal designs ovelayed on a dark pearlescent paint to achieve the kind of job that looks different every time you look at it. If you don't contrast the colours too much you can also achieve more detail shown the closer you look. possibly even a hidden bird of prey.

Saw a really nice paint job on a car, although I don't know what it would look like on a bike, it was designed on the fur of a blue persian cat (honestly) although it looked more of a smokey/charcoal grey, as the light caught it it went lighter/darker, looking at it from the front it looked like the fur was silky smooth, from the back it looked as though it was raised, wierd but good,
