This could be that bite.

Like has been repeated on this topic many time about you, You are to full of your self. No body like people who are full of them selves. Your Narcissistic (you might want to look that word up) attitude is why we treat you the way we do.

On the other hand, I think we should cut this kid a deal.
He doesn't post here until he looses his attitude at becomes mature. Like the rest (most) of us here.

I think everyone should cut the owl some slack.

Do you have any idea how many 40+ year old people lurk on these boards and never or rarely make a posting?

The kid has guts and will definitely learn, if he sticks around.

^ My sentiments.

This thread and conversation is not even needed. I have PMed TD yesterday, and they haven't said no yet, because they haven't been online since I PMed them.

And I am sure someone else is now going to say:

"Then why start the thread?" That is not needed either. Thank you though. :)

Nice one Owl! Ever the optimist...

Seriously Owl, I think it's unlikely they need your help that much, and like other's have suggested, concentrating on improving your skills will be the best way to get involved later. It's not just about being an artist though, skinning needs historical research too. You will probably need help with this, but you have produced at least one good historical skin (the P-47 you did on M4T), so you've shown you could do it. How about asking for suggestions for historical skins that are needed? I'm sure there are a few that haven't been done that have enough information available, especially if we pick each other's brains for help.

It's interesting to see such a long thread while it could have been all resolved via PM or email much more efficiently.

Stealth Owl, thank you for your offer, but we are not looking for new core members right now. As it has been suggested, please try to refine your skills if you are seriously considering doing some quality work for IL-2 or SoW in the future.

Hello Owl,

here's a thing I'd like you to do for me, and because I would like to see what you can produce.

I fly mostly (exclusively?) the 110G2. I had a skin that was done for me by some skinner whose name I can't remember (unfortunately) and that I lost when my PC's hard drive failed.

I need a new dedicated 110 skin. The scope of work is as follows :
-complete skins with markings included. I fly for the I/ZG76, markings is M8 + OK, with the O being red.
- Skin without markings so I can use the in -game ones.
- on both skins, on the tail, 43 victories (one side of the aircarft only), 43 being the best I managed to reach without dying in the Warclouds server.
- Finally, on the nose, and in a place where the Squadron insignia won't cover, the picture below with the word "Oktoberfest" written in a german-style gothic font in the black area under the girl, of course following the curve.

For the rest, I give you free hands, but it has to look historical.

Can you do that for me ?

Thanks and I'm eager to see it. If it's good, I'll keep it while flying online.

Oktoberfest

Owl, I once had a cat like you. It tried to bark and think it was a dog, and n-matter how many times I told it that it was a cat it would not listen. I am seeing parallels now and experiencing deja-vu. Scary huh? Maybe you need to change your name to dog-cat or something :rolleyes:

Honestly, people have given you advise and you just sit there and say how good you are.

Hit the nail on the head. ;)

Hey guys, lets give him the benifit of the doubt, and at least see what he can do with Oktoberfest's request.

(BTW philip.ed, nicely done edit, your original version was crying out for a response ;) )

Not his edit, but nearmiss'.

Still, I think you could let it there for just a bit longer so Owl would get what we're talking about the hard way.

We tried over and over to explain him in detail what's wrong, yet to see the same thing philip pointed out: he just sat there saying how "good" he was - usually with grotesque grammar & spelling errors not even I would make.

It was like talking to a freakin' wall!
