The U.S. Air Force Needs YOUR Help (photoshop / art contest)

Hello everyone!!

To keep this short, I'll explain it as briefly as possible. I am a member of the Air Force, currently training to be an officer while getting my degree. I have been assigned to Foxtrot flight here at my detachment. My commander has charged us with the task of decorating our flight board with something that will inspire our squadron and make him proud.

Given that our name is Foxtrot, we all brainstormed the idea to have some sort of 'battle fox' or fierce fox warrior. However, we all lack creative ability with photoshop and general artistic ability.

I am requesting that one or several of you could loan your artistic abilities to our cause. I have no reward to offer, but I did promise my flight that the community here at pwi is capable of just this sort of thing. None of them understand the comradary that develops in an mmo.

Official contest rules:
please submit some sore of battle-fox type warrior that would be appropriate for an air force display board.

-Preferably a masculine fox (no female human form please)
-in game pictures are fine, photoshop additions are encouraged
-a fox with armor is preferable (maybe spear and shield?)
-in game or out of game material are equally acceptable

I've seen some cool fox-like creations, signatures, etc. on these boards before, if you have some time please help out, or let me know what you think.

Thank you all, good luck!

    I'm not sure what you mean by "sinking low," but being in the Air force is both challenging and rewarding. You get out what you put into it. It isn't for everyone, but some people are born for it.

    The program I am in is designed to train leaders. I am on a full scholarship and will graduate as an officer. Please PM me if anyone is interested to hear more, I'll be happy to answer any questions. But I wont turn this thread into a recruiting center lol.

    lol that is good, I like the pilot fox! One of the other cadets put a picture of star fox up on the board, I don't know why I didn't think of that.

    What do the words say? I don't have my glasses with me right now...

    When you said "battle fox," I immediately thought Robin Hood. ^^; Sorry it isn't quite what you asked for, but I have only learned the basics of photo editing and do not have the "skillz" of a graphic designer yet. Also, since I don't have Photoshop on my computer, I used some free image editing software (Paint.net).

    Anyway, I wanted to try my hand just to give myself some practice. I hope you like it.^^

    Looking to join a guild once the game is officially released - one that is friendly, mature, and doesn't take itself too seriously. Recruit me?

    Thanks for the posts everyone! The pics look great!

    PS don't worry about the "foxtrop" thing, I can patch that up easily enough.

    I'll be decorating the board next Wednesday, so there is still time to work on things if you want. When I'm done I'll take a picture of the board and post it on here so you can all see ^_^

    Thanks again!

    BTW, what image hosting site do you guys use?

    I use photobucket, but you find out what people are using by right clicking the image and going to properties, the "location" line should tell you what the host is.

    Dear propan1ol,

    That is F*ckin awesome!

    Thank you so much, everyone, for taking the time to make these designs. Haha one of my flightmates downloaded pwi and started playing as a veno cause he wanted to be a battle fox lol ^_^

    I'll make sure to give you all credit for your designs. If you want a name other than the name of the account / avatar you posted with just let me know, I'll have the artist names on the bottom of the board.

    -Bryant

    PS: Tidebornisim, check out this site if you are curious. I NEVER thought I'd join the military until I checked it out one day, there are many unique opportunities to be a part of. [http://www.airforce.forces.gc.ca/v2/index-eng.asp]
