Hello all. I have prepared a sort of idea I came up with after seeing so many adamantly insane empire supporters (if I had a steady job I'd be one of them... might still become one though!).
In any case, I think many people here feel the need to paint up something with their empire logo, and they might not be the steadiest of hands. It is therefore that I have decided to start this to help others who wanna show their support for Planetside 2!
*****
Now, I lack the necessary programs and probably a bit of skills too, to accurately produce a really accurate paint guide, so some of you pros out there who see this as child's play can give me some help.
These guides must be in black, white, and shades of grey, so they can be easily printed out without using color ink. I need someone to use a snazzy program to make them without blocky pixels borders for accurate printout. Also any knowledge or experience in such a matter and how they should be with any tweaks to make the guides easier will be appreciated. I'll edit in the guides with proper thanks and credit to this first post.

The way these guides will be used, is you print out multiple copies, cut out the areas you're working on, and tape the rest to wherever you're painting. using the guides to gradually make a more accurate painted emblem masterpiece without any (or at least, less) mess ups!
Seeing as my programs are terrible and the picture is rather, just consider this a sort of prototype to how the plan is. I know making just a black and white printout is simple and not much work, but it saves money on ink and makes it easier to cut out and work with than the snazzy gradient blended colors. Also a higher resolution picture gives you straight edges.

This is the NC paint guide, I have not done TR or VS because it'd be awaste to show off until someone helps out with a high resolution, better done guide I can post up here.
Now with the paint guide, you can edit the size you want and number on a sheet to use for smaller projects such as arm badge paint jobs, or even painting some sort of collectible or custom made object. If this goes over well, I'll work on a step by step guide for maximum efficiency and look up good tools, paints, and adhesives for different materials and size of jobs.
Who knows, maybe I'll even look into PS2 papercraft stuff and start learning and posting guides like how to make a Vanguard. All depends on how much people like the idea of getting into physical support for PS2.
