Airline Livery Design - June 2017
These are the liveries that I made in June for a web-based airline management game called Airline Empires. Those are fantasy airlines that were made for the ingame airline. Those airline were not mine, though, they're requests that were asked to me. So I put a forum thread there about me accepting livery design creations, and requests start flooding in! I was so happy at the start, but as the amount of requests start piling up, it really seems like a though challenge for me.
So before I posts that thread, I hunted in their forum threads for people who posted a public thread about a livery request. I actually designed some livery, but unfortunately, only a few responded. The other maybe made their thread as a 'hit-and-miss', post it and totally forget about it. But the responses that I received really shows a positive result, so I'm gonna post it here as well.

| FlyNL Fokker F-100 |
This is my first airline livery request that I made. So a person made a thread about an idea about his next livery for his virtual airline, and I decided to jump at it and give it a go. I was actually trying to make a gradient for the red part, but fail so spectacularly that the red part fades too much. Finally, I got rid of it, and here is the final design.

| Skyway Airlines - Airbus A320 |
Here is the second livery that I take. It's fully inspired by JetBlue. Actually it was not this simple. I went mad with putting white tribal painting all over the tail to the rear fuselage. But the client wants to make it simple and modern, so I made it almost similar to those JetBlue liveries, and putting some modern-styled pattern to the tail, made a way to somehow show the logo at the tail, and finish it with a lot of details, like slogan, website on engine, alliance logo and plane reg number.

| Appalachian Airlines - Boeing 737-800 |
Actually I made 3 or 4 liveries, maybe 5, before I decided that it was the time to open my own thread, but only 2 responded, so that's that. Here is the picture of Appalachian Airlines, the first airline that requested directly to me via my own thread. He wanted to make it like Frontier, but instead of animals, the client wanted me to replace it with mountain or such things. So I went to google (oops), did lots of research about Appalachia and searching pictures of mountains in Appalachia. Honestly, it was truly difficult to fit a mountain picture to a tail of an airplane, you see. As you can see, the space that is available is in portrait orientation, while most (or maybe, all) mountain picture are landscape, even panoramic! You might first think that it's actually easier than that, just crop the summit and voila, but it was not that easy. If I supposedly do that, the tail will have the sky, the summit, and random mass of rocks below the summit. It will show 80% rocks 10% summit and 10% sky. Not good at all. I need to find a good portrait image in a good landscape image. Fortunately I found one, and there you go, Appalachian Airlines livery.

| Americana - Boeing 747-400 |
Here is my final individual livery that I made this month. It was supposed to be Americana's special 747 livery. Here is the story: Americana want to make a livery, exclusive to their 747. Americana really holds high regards to 747, therefore wants a unique livery designed for them. Well, at the first second I accepted this request I can only think one thing: Black. Exclusive livery for exclusive aircraft series must be painted in luxurious black. With that thing in mind, I made this livery. I also put a giant '747' logo on the fuselage, just like how ANA did with their 787 design, to really emphasize that this 747 is a no joke.
So that's it. These are my liveries that I made individually. Next time I'm going to publish my other work that was done in June, but it was in bulk, means it's a long range project between me and the requesting airline.
