Hi, my name is YamaLama1986, I really like your works, especially your depictions of althistory aircraft and ships.
I was wondering if you would like to work with me to design several alternate history battleship designs for Italy and Spain. For Italy, I'd like an Italian equivalent to the German battleship Bismarck in both size and armament. For Spain I'd like a Spanish equivalent of the German battlecruisers Gneisenau and Scharnhorst. This is presuming that Italy at the time is influential on Spain's politics and is putting pressure on Spain not to interrupt its "Mare Nostrum" in the Mediterranean with warships as powerful as its own, only allowing one of these warships to operate in the Mediterranean at any given time along with other limits on the Spanish fleet in the Mediterranean though allowing all of them to operate unhindered in the Atlantic as a means to challenge the British. Italy would compensate Spain for this limitation by allowing Spain to build four of these warships to operate unhindered in the Atlantic, alongside Italian battleships and other Italian warships being permitted basing rights in Atlantic Spanish ports and to be able to depart and attack enemy ships from those ports, as a means to challenge the British.
If you do withs to do this, all I ask is that you please do not put flags on these ships, as I am interested in creating an alternate history set of flags for Fascist Italy and Falangist Spain that I would like to display on the ships.

I saw your Fight and Be Right FWR Posters a while ago without knowing where they came from. I'm glad I finally found the source, and intend to keep an eye on your work from now on!

Any way to still find it? Do you know of any mirror sites that might carry it?

I've long since lost the relevant files I'm afraid, and I'm not sure it's archived anywhere- was never that fond of it anyhow, if I'm honest!

Hello there. Love your work. I was wondering how your able to make such clean and clear maps? I mean the lines are fantastic!
π: 0 β©: 1
Hi- glad you like the maps. I make them by tracing vectors over the originals in photoshop- this lets me customise them as I see fit and is very flexible once done. This [link] gives you a brief overview of the technique.

Not sure what to say I'm afraid- the best suggestion I can make, I think, is to send Ian a PM about it?

I am working on a scenario involving a Syndicalist Britain, and while the origins of mine are very different from yours, I absolutely love your flag for the Federation of Workers Republics. I am finally gearing up to publish a piece that illustrates the rise and fall of the Syndicalist Britain of my ATL, and I would greatly appreciate it if I could have your permission to make a flag that emulates your own. I will of course give you credit for the design.

I'd prefer it if you didn't use the exact same flag please, but do feel free to base something on it!

I've posted my flag sheet. Again if you feel it is too similar to yours I'm perfectly willing to change it.

I'm actually without photoshop at the moment, so can't do anything, but when I get another copy I'd be quite happy to give something a go.

I have a question: what technique are you using for making such a clear, and good looking maps? Vector graphic, vectror+photoshop, or only photoshop?
π: 0 β©: 1
Gad you like them! I use vectors in photoshop, mostly.
