Windjammers, batches!!!

[enderwiggen22]

I have found no trace of windjammers on this site. Matter of fact I can't find any artwork for it either. Is anyone already working on a Windjammers theme????

It is quite possibly the best game overlooked by the hyperspin community.

Well, if no one is, can someone point me at some tastey art? This could pop my thematic cherry...

i agree a WJ theme is sorely needed.
was going to make a theme, but had trouble finding art.
i will have a look around and see if i can find some stuff and try make a theme.

saw that first shockbox pic elsewhere - was trying to find a large version of it.
looks like a pretty good unobscured pic to use.

and more

I used to love this game, would be nice to see a theme for this.

i found a super hi res version of the WJ cover cathaldub posted,
BUT it requires some cutting to get the images from it.

and i am terrible at cutting - had a go and it looked crap.
enderwiggen22 - heres the LINK (http://southtown-homebrew.com/index.php?cPath=1_160&osCsid=c8c1ea5723abc41cc3cf21b415a206a4) to southtown homebrew.

if you download a PDF version of the WJ cover and then open it in photoshop,
you can convert to a png from there.

[enderwiggen22]

I can't seem to find the pdf. I can only download the jpeg and the quality of that was pretty low (for cutting). Could you post a link to the file/pdf?

heres the direct link to the file LINK (http://southtown-archives.com/inserts/neogeo/windjammersBB.pdf.zip)

it's a PDF which photoshop can open and edit.

I probalby wouldnt bother cutting a log out like that, that logo is so simple its better to just remake it from scratch, I'll be bak in a few minutes with what I mean.

Its alot easier to redraw than to cutout something like this, maybe 3 minutes I spent on it. And you'll notice mines alot cleaner, I used the flyer to trace, and the colors are alot crisper here than on a cutout.

yeah BBB is right!

I'm really one minded sometimes, i miss the obvious and go the stupidly hard and crappy way.

BBB is always right - i am a big fan of tracing/ redrawing stuff.
i only cut out what i have to - and i found a pretty good prog to do it.
Fluid Mask 3 - it automates cutting with keep and delete masks.

thx for the WJ theme BBB!!

i'm just praying BBB creates the next 2604 themes i want ;) Or else its end game.
