It ain't easy being green.

I have seen a few requests for this particular paint in the forums. So I thought I would super quick break from my norm of the General Aviation artwork and take a stab at my first airliner paint since 2007. 

 

Since this is my first airline paint in years I thought I would get all of my ducks in a row first, which meant logos, colors, and reference photos. Now since I normally work at HD resolutions, not many offerings were available for logos at that size, so I made my own. 

 

What you have below is roughly three hours of design work wrapped up into a nice little wall paper before the official previews start. 

 

So, be prepared, Shrek is on his way.

 

Wallpaper Resolution: 1920x1080

Awesome Nick, looking forward to it. Hope this does not rob you of valuable time from the KA B200 :lol:

Bring it on Nick

Oh boy has this become one of my favorites.

 

Other than a few small details this one is finished!

 

Those of you with a keen eye will notice the very slight reflection of the words "comfortably greener" on the fuselage next to the engines.

 

I will be uploading this to AVSIM tonight and will alert everyone when it's available.

Nice!

What resolution is this paint Sir?

[LEAPWeaver 5]

The texture sizes for the Q400 are 2048x2048. The details are nice a crisp from a distance and up close.

Folks,

 

I'm just doing some testing with this on the new update. 

 

I will be packaging this up and uploading to AVSIM in about an hour. 

 

I will also be including a modified environment shine effect to improve the gloss of the aircraft. 

 

I will chime in once everything is ready.
