so heres the completed with waterslip paper for the image



im painting for the table, so i dont really care if it looks perfect withing 6". i think it might be a little dark, the ink that is.

here is it a little further away.



looking at it here, and not in my hand it looks like the flag is a little dark.

Looking good! Until I checked out that thread, I didn't realize that wasn't freehand.

yea, this is with waterslip paper. the stuff that comes with models in boxes like tanks and stuff. i found it online here: http://www.decalpaper.com/

its ultra simple. and for a newb like me, im a lot happier with the results. if i did it free hand, id always have a sour taste in my mouth about how i wish it would have been better.

inb4 but you learn more and better yourself by doing it yourself. meh...this is good enough for as much as ill be doing it.

did you do the OSL effect on the printer with a gradient? I've never thought about printing gradients before.

I didn't think of that....it's clear, so I started by just painting white behind it, I put on the decal, then just used yellow and green ink...thats a super good idea though..

i thought the banner looked too black, it needed something, so i added some tone

This is kind of a snooty comment I mean doing decals and freehand are 2 very different types of media, and SKILL. Putting decals on models correctly so that they do not look like decals takes a considerable amount of skill. Knocking someone for using decals is un-cool. Different tools, different effects, different results.

I think the OP did a fine job and it looks great, though a little highlighting on the edging of the banner would help a bit.

and no worries on the comment. no offense taken. if he didnt realize it was a decal until he read it, then im happy.
