Alternate original seven faction mod

Is this what you meant when you said to ignore the shadow when centering it?

[Dio]

I fear my sense of panic may soon set in over how hard it is making bases from scratch.  Also, you were right about the difficulty.

[Buster's Uncle]

I hear that.

Is this what you meant when you said to ignore the shadow when centering it?

Yep.  Looks a lot better.

All of this base art is starting to make me feel uneasy  .

Base art isn't easy.

But it's worth doing right.

[Dio]

It just bothers me for some reason that they are so small compared to the original art.

[Buster's Uncle]

Yeah, the one quoted in my last post is big enough for -maybe- stage one.  I bet the screenie you're working with is reduced in size, and you're going to have to do some expanding and sharpening.

[Dio]

Would this do better as a size one base? I will sharpen it if you think it is a better size.

[Buster's Uncle]

Yeah.

[Dio]

I simply do not have the patience right now to do all of this base art and will get to them when I have the time.

[Dio]

I do not know how to make that blurred yet still clear when viewed from a distance effect that they use on bases.

[Buster's Uncle]

I don't think I follow you, there.

[Dio]

For example, when you view most bases in a high zoom, they appear to be a blur of pixels until you view it at a good distance, say a zoom of 100%.

[Buster's Uncle]

Filters>Enhance>Sharpen.  That's how.  Play around with the sharpen levels and see if that doesn't do the trick.

[Dio]

What do you think of this as a very rough draft for the believer base?

[Dio]

This draft is at least oriented correctly....

Reduce the size of the back corner slightly and lower to put some perspective on it and you've got something there.
