Ok, Let Me Access that Part of My Memory... First: I Found a Rather Nice Closeup of the Galactia Patch as My Base Inspiration From the Catalog of Intergalactic Trading Company.

I Then Used Trial & Error... I Think I Gave Paint a Try, But just couldn't get the Look I was Wanting, then Came Paint Shop Pro... Would've Worked Too, But Man I Can Honestly Tell You This... I Became Very Frusterated with the Program... My Computer Kept Freezing Up on Me, at that Point I Was Ready to Throw Something & Scream. Nerve Racking as it was, I Decided to Put the Project on the Back Burner for a Little Bit.

I had Hoped to Use it as an Avatar, But at that Point... it was better that I just Forget About it for a While.

Then One Day I Was Playing Around with Irfan View ... I was Exploring the Options Section, and BAM!! It was Born...

I Played Around with it this time for about a Month... a few Hours Here & There, Using different effects... I was Really Inspired with some of the Awesome Artwork I've Seen Here, and Thought: (Hey, Why Not Set RED SQUADRON
Out and See What Everyone Thinks)

We Only Saw BLUE SQUADRONOn the Show, Damcoles & I were discussing that several months ago (I think) ... so Here it is!!

BTW... Irfan View Version I'm Using is Only the Free Version... there are Lots of Really Cool Goodies that Make it Jump Up and Dance!!

Just Glad I Could Contribute Something Special to Possibly Help Inspire Others to Step up & Give it a Try...

Never Leave Your Wingman

Hey, This Kid Don't Sign On For No Oneway Mission...We're Coming Back!

See You On the Flight Deck:

Jay

And Last But Not Least... Just For You TopGun: "I Feel The Need...The Need For Speed!!...Punch It Chewie!!...ENGAGUE...Captain The Ships About To Fly Apart, Fly Her Part Then.....No,No...Your Translation is All Wrong...it Should Say... Stargate!!"

Lightbulb More From the Vault

I've got several Other Projects in the Works Right Now... I've had this One Idea in Mind For Something Like the Last 27 Years...(Battlestar Galactia Inspired) (Not a Typo There) Back When I was a Kid, I was Very Much an Artist. While all the Other Kids Were doing Flat Drawings with Just Crayons, I was Playing around with Different Views; Instead of a Plane 'Ole Side Views, I Was Sketching the Object at an Offset Angle & Perfecting My Shadowing Technique... (I've Only Taken 1 Year of Art... and That was Back in High School) Anyway, I Liked Doing Rough Sketches, then Going back & Seeing if I Could Improve on it ETC... and Back When I Was In Elementry & Jr. High School... a Kid Would Get Sent to the Office for Drawing... Hey, Guess You Could Say... I Was a Martar or Something...

I Had a Really Good Friend (Matt) Who Would Work With Me on Our Art Projects(Sometimes He Would Finish up on the Inking and at Othertimes It Would Be I)... Hey, At the Time they Were Mostly Airplanes & Sports. Gotta Start Somewhere...

I Guess Art Just Got Set on the Back Burner for me... Perhaps I'll Finally Be Able to Reopen that Chapter of my Life, and Add Some New Stuff to My Portfollio.

I Believe that Each Piece of Art Speaks to Each Of Us in a Different Way...Jay Stryder 1991

LIFE IS WHAT HAPPENS, WHILE YOU'RE MAKING OTHER PLANS
