Contest #6 ENTRY PERIOD IS OVER. VOTE FOR THE WINNER IN THE COMPETITION THREAD

Unfortunately, I'm not Possum, but I still reserve the right to add to the rules as people do things to annoy me.

Can we get a different template for the paint job? It's hard to paint on something that already has a livery on it. And that plane was never made FYI.

Um, I think painting and aircraft's wings would add so much weight that the efficiency level would decrease. And it's impossible to paint a wing in the first place, as it will effect aerodynamic properties of the wing.

[pdnnoob]

@Airbus Please keep the discussion about the competition in the competition discussion thread. Thanks! ^^

EDIT: The competition, by the way, is not about giving things existing paint designs. On top of that, this is more of a forum for artists that it is one for engineers. That said, I think it is perfectly legal for us to paint the wings on our imaginary planes. Besides, that isn't a real plane in the picture...it's a 3D render. (That is an interesting point you bring up, however. I honestly didn't know the weight of paint could be so significant )

Many planes have painted wings in real life but every plane in video games are painted all over and some give you a choice of skins. In real life they use special paint that is lightweight and has other properties special to this kind of paint,if you want to get technical,lol,just sayin.
Anyway I think this is a real cool competition. I have been working on doing just this very thing for awhile now and haven't gotten too bad at it. I kind of wish we could enter more than one,lol,I have a couple good ones.

Your not allowed to paint on wings, as it affects the aerodynamic properties of the wings. The Paint Used is actually called Epoxy, and it is far from light. Far From It.

Real planes.....in flight......with painted wings.....certainly not candy coated........just sayin'........ It's an art contest. Have some fun every once in a while. Let your imagination take flight. Apparently, these guys did

[pdnnoob]

New contest is up! Start sending in your entries!

@Airbus The next chance I get, I will make sure you get your 777 ^_^

Well, that is a ultra-light prop plane. The plane in Contest 1 was a modified Military 737. 737, as you may as well know, is a big Jetliner. I would encourage you to look up pictures of ALL large commercial air transports on Google and see if anyone has painted a plane's wings.

Honestly, this discussion about paint on wings is getting out of hand and is now quite irrelevant since the first contest is already over and we are drawing on cats now. No need to get worked up...

I would never paint a cat. Maybe a light coat of varnish......

[welshblue]

I had to laugh @ the sub-title. New things to skin ... looks like someones beaten us all to it with these cats

[pdnnoob]

Actually, I was thinking of entering one where the cats actually were skinned, but that woulda been pretty gory

[welshblue]

If I find the cat that's digging up my garden and leaving presents I'll give you an authentic one ...

(not that I'd actually harm an animal ...)

[skullbonz]

I loved the plane competition but i think I will pass on the cat one,lol. I thought about it but I hate cats so much that I think I better not do this one so I don't get in trouble,lol. Anxiously waiting for the next one.

[pdnnoob]

Sorry for the extremely long wait. School has started, so I'm not as available as I was (on top of that, I'm writing a few tutorials too...). This will probably be the last PJC comp until Thanksgiving break when I get a week off.
