        @ArcticFox Since you are new I would like to explain the joke. @Hepps is one of the best graphics guys we have. So if he cant upload images we really have a problem .... I am quite certain all will try and help solve the issue. I was just having some fun with H because he loves winding my "tail" also. 🙂

          Yeah sounds, like a cruel torture, for hepps. Cant display his nice pics anymore. I'm waiting for one of his pics my thread too... The suspense is building. What can it be? hehe

            @ArcticFox if you are going to be recoloring a lot of units think about making a outline of the unit with a transparent center so the layer underneath it will show through this way you can just change the layer color as many time as you like. I personally like to start with a larger image for outlining and color change then I resize it for the game and the the big one for the nice color.

              @vikingmaker It's actually far easier to do it the other way. To take an image... shrink it down to the finished size then create an outline and shadowing. Yeilds far more consistent results.

                @general_zod Thanks confirmed what I suspected based on the impeccable advice of one Mr. Prastle.... say what you will about country bumpkins.... but the man really does know a thing or two.

                      So here is a quick look at how I set up a master layout for a map. This is what I keep as a reference when designing all the different nations for a game.

                        Thanks for all the help. Should be able to recolour much faster and more consistent now!

                          @arcticfox NP! Look forward to seeing the results.

                          I will try to put together a step by step for new unit creation as soon as I have the time.

                            BTW Prastle.... can you please change your avitar to this image?

                            Something about seeing an ass laughing hysterically just seems.... right.

                            😉
