Post YOUR Custom Decal Images

Hmmm... what I do is I print the decal on a normal piece of paper first before onto the decal paper so I can see if the sizing and colour and everything else is correct.

Guys,let's stay on topic! :spammers:

Wow - that's a great idea!

I'm surprised no-one's mentioned it before now, it would definitely save a lot of time for loads of people.

Thanks. I do what TD said for sizing but I know colors vary by paper type and because of the lack of availability I try to squeeze out every bit og that paper I can get. the swatches also serve as a "wet ink" tester since it isn't important art work I can touch it to see if the ink dried. That is how I found out it took 2 days to dry for me.

I also print on label paper and apply for testing size and placement first. It helps show where to do the over lap cuts that are needed for decal softening stage.

Once I have everything ready on those 2 stages, I move on to the decal paper.

Sorry customizer but it is useful info for new customizers. I think I tested that shade of green and it showed up different on my decal paper.

So should I make the green a bit lighter?

Actually, make it a bit darker.

Here is, in my opinion, the best decal I have ever made. This is either the best, or Commander Fil is. I introduce to you, Commander Stone

Well done SGT. This is defiantly your best.

My only complaint is it looks a lot like mine.

I compared them a bit. They are different, except for the helmet decals. The color seems a bit too dark though.

Heres what I did folks... I copied CK's helmet decals and pasted them on paint. I cut them and then pasted them on Inkscape. Then I used the little Beizer tool and outlined them. After that, I moved the outline and dumped the maroon in it. Then I deleted the outline. So basically I used CK's helmet decals just to make sure the size was close to right. I'll edit my post and make sure I mention that.

And teh finz are the wrong size. 'oh: It's awesome other wise though.

CK1, it's Commander Stone, of course it looks like your decal.

Is it to big or too small? My money's on small.

That is correct. [morewords] umm... pizza tastes good [/morewords]

I finally got to update my Squawk. So here's the new version.

Look's great SGT.

Okay I admit Halo is coming close to becoming my favorite. That's why I've designed an ODST decal to feed my inner halo fan.


Leg's are coming and maybe arms.

C&C welcomed

Thanks for the comment! By the way it's SRG.
As for the decal, it looks hot.

I knew you had to do somthing besides clones sooner or later!

Picture isn't showing for me.

Very good, I like both of the new decals.

@SRG.Denal: The squawk arms are good, but if you look at the side of him, you'll realize he has like a splatter effect on it, not just gray.

SRG. Denal- Liking the decals!

Clone Killers- I like how you mixed it up with a decal non-star wars related.

That's because I saved it as a Jpeg or whatever it's called.

@Alpha Beta:Thank you!

No, I mean, he has a splatter effect on the actual guy, not just solid gray there.

Some sci-fi armor. Duh.

It's an improvement on my earlier decals though.

Looks good CK.

Here are some decals I have been working on.

Deviss is still WIP. Credit clone killers for the helmet decals because I can't make the size right. Template by me.

Not bad, they are kind of "messy" though.

Eh, there are a few problems, some of it is pixelated or wrong scale, and Stone's arms are blurry.

Here's how I color decals:
1: Get your template.
2: Open it in a layer supporting program, such as GIMP or Paint.net.
3: Make a new layer under the template.
4. Set the template's layer to mode "darken".
5 Put all the color on the bottom layer, not worring about anything under the black lines on the template.

That way you can keep the vectorization of the template and avoid pixelation.
