    Default G'day I create locomotive graphics.

    Late last year I started creating locomotive graphics in Paintshop Pro. I trace around a locomotive in a photo, add grills, panels and then the livery.

    I used to do a lot of reskins for a couple of rail sims so I was quite familiar with PSP.

    I do keep my pics on a Facebook page, so please come and "Like" it.

    Anyhow, since I can't post pics from Facebook I have to use Imageshack, I will post some of my work now.

    Welcome to TalkGraphics

    First time users are not permitted to link. However since your links appear to be your own images and not to a for profit site, I am going to leave them unless our administrator moderator disagrees.

    BTW You can upload your photos here. Copy the photos to your desktop then add them here in the Go Advanced > Manage Attachments area when you post.

    Ok, thankyou. I've gone looking for where to post introductions but haven't fond them yet.

    I can tell you that the pics are all my own work, I will do what you say in future.

    I've been looking for forums where I can share my work as I am trying to get exposure. I have only bee doing it for a while but I feel I've found my niche.

    I am just doing what gwpreister said. A good excuse to show the latest graphic I completed.

    Thanks everyone.

    Larry, one of the moderators posted your images for you in your first post.

    We don't really have a Introduce yourself forum.

    You sure you're not a proffessional and which version of Paintshop Pro do you use (X5 for me)?

    They are terrific and wondered what you plan to do with them?

    Just thinking as I enjoy creating greeting cards and this is something that could be used on the cards as too many are female orientated stuff and there is a distinct lack of male orientated stuff. Maybe you should contact a greeting card manufacturer to see if they would be interested in them.

    Just a thought. but they look great.

    I am considering my options with how I can use my graphics. I think something may develop in the future.

    I've just completed the NJ class and will post the collection.

    Not sure what to do with them at the moment, I think I'll just do it for recreation for the time being. I am actually planning to do some sort of graphics course, exploring my options in that department.
