My Repaints of Alphasim/Virtavia Aircraft
I've been a Texture Artist for Alphasim/Virtavia since 2001.  Since then I've painted from scratch or was tasked to rework a total of 34 subjects -- 18 are still in the current catalog and 16 are available as freeware.  When the production schedule was at a high point my experience was that if I don't get around to painting any repaints that I was interested in right away then I wouldn't have the opportunity before the next project is assigned and research began.  Some of these here were painted during the development of the original textures included in the online store downloads but were held back because of download package size concerns.  So they were released as freeware repaints and to help generate ongoing interest in the subject after the initial sales.  Check them out for yourself: Alphasim and Virtavia.
