Wow. these images are crisp! i’ve done bitmap enlarging & going back &
interpolating (guessing where the pixels look best to make that curve look JUST
right) & it is Hard, long work. EXCELLENT job on all these torsos & shields!
Jeff-grateful someone did a hi res torso with crisp larger curve at the
shoulder!

I have tried both MS Paint and Paint Shop Pro and I cannot rezise either the
shields or the Torso. Anyway, fantastic job on the shields and the torso.
Woe is me!

At the request of Ben E., I created a variation on my Fleur de Lis torso. I
present to you: The Musketeer torso sticker!
That is all.

Hey Don,
I’m glad you like my work so far. I’m sorry to hear you’re having problems.
I’m afraid I’m not very knowledgable in printing and those two programs you
have, but with what strikingly little knowledge I have, I’ll try and help you
out.
Both my shield and torso designs are designed to be printed out at 500 dpi.
However, when in Photoshop, I can print the images at 300 or 600 dpi (my only
options, I’m thinking it’s because of my printer, and man do I wish I had used
600 dpi... sigh too late now), and there’s no problem with being the wrong
size. Also, when I print them in Photoshop, I don’t change their sizes. Now I
think my father may have Paint Shop Pro, and I think it’s a pretty high end
program, so maybe if you just choose to print the images ‘as-is’ at a high dpi,
maybe they’ll print out at the right size.
Again, I’m sorry I can’t be of more help. Maybe we can find you someone to
print things out for you, or maybe we can get you a version of the files that
you can use.
Thanks for the reply!
--Anthony

Thanks much! I’m glad you like what I’ve done, and it’s particularly flattering
to be complimented by someone who knows what I’m going through to do these. It
takes me on average between one and two hours per design. Fortunately, some
designs can be repeated with different colors which makes my average time for
all torsos go down.
In fact, I just today finished the old scale mail and breast plate armor
designs, and in my torso article I will be making both designs available in a
total of 10 different colored shirts (while the armor remains the same color).
These colors are: black, blue, brown, green, light grey, orange, red, tan, white
and yellow.
Of course that means for two designs I got 20 torsos :)
Look out Star Wars figs! Your days as sci-fi characters are numbered!
I’ll try to get the article out soon, I only have a few more planned torso
designs to tinker with.
And thanks for the reply!

Hmmmm, now I have to modify these things. Layers - ah yes, there’s the help
file on that (I couldn’t draw at all on the Black Falcon Torso Shield since the
background was the active layer). Been a while since I actually used Photoshop
for anything beyond a digital darkroom. Alright, back to work on a less
cartoony falcon....never mind, I was going to ask some questions about
photoshop, but I’m futzing my way through it. :-)

My first pass at making a completely new Black Falcon shield:
http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/corsair/Castle/ShieldDesigns/blackfalconnew.bmp
There’s a .psd file there, too, though I don’t know if that’s acceptable for
Brickshelf since it doesn’t display unless you open it. I’ve made multiple
color copies of it, and I’ve found that it works better with a solid
(non-bordered) background or having the border a different color than the
falcon. Also, the detail is perhaps too ambitious printed out at the small
scale of a shield (Canon S900 six color printer). I’ve also found that the
actual printout is a shade too small to cover the old shield.
Accck! I’ve been infected. Curse you...
