Description
I already uploaded the Mk II with a snow palette, now here it is with some others, all but one cannibalised from the Type 11 (what I've started calling my older pattern after JAFPAT). These were very quickly done, mainly for show; I might re-do the arrangements later. Urban is a bit silly, as the environment gives rise to special challenges for a camouflage pattern intended to work in a natural environment. Oh well, it still looks cool, which is the main thing I guess. :VTop: sycamore (autumn), d day (beach), scimitar (desert), tunnel rat (jungle)
Bottom: bunda (savannah), ranger (temperate), hoodlum (urban), alyeska (winter)
Edit:
I've updated the tiles and names of the palettes. These are now the lineup of products that I'm working on as part of my Partisan Camouflage project (now available to purchase on Spoonflower ). The autumn and jungle palettes have received updates, and I've removed the summer palette (I will be focusing on temperate/Ranger). Winter has also been included, for completeness. The pattern is displayed here at 150dpi. Although it might not be immediately obvious, Partisan is also a repeating pattern--at this scale, it repeats once every 21 1/3", or about 54 1/5 cm, which means that one square will cover almost the entire back of a regular person, or the whole back of a large MOLLE rucksack (minus the top flap, which is a separate piece of fabric anyway) or IBA/IOTV. As these are the largest nearly unbroken spaces on a person, it is important that the pattern not repeat and be obviously recognizable as camouflage, which I think this does nicely.

I actually got the idea from Multicam.

It's weird- I never thought about the design behind camo, or for that matter the designers behind the patterns. It's really neat to see your gallery with the patterns at work. Very fascinating stuff!

Oh yes. Admittedly the concepts behind it are simple, but execution is something else. I appreciate the interest and the compliment!
If you want to see some more patterns, there's a whole group for this sort of thing. *jerks thumb to the right*

I like these. It's nice seeing the old-school style with a non-blocky micropattern, and these look like they might do well in a number of different environments, texture-wise. I like to color palettes too. I especially like the "autumn" and "savanna" schemes. I reckon the "savanna" might do well in a wide range operational areas.
I totally agree with you about the particular challenges of urban camouflage design, especially when trying to apply patterns used against natural backgrounds. I'm enjoying working with those challenges, and hope to have some presentable results in the foreseeable future--can we look forward to seeing some of your own ideas as well?

Thanks for the kind words 
I might start work on a separate pattern for urban terrain, but it'll definitely be a for-fun thing, given the limited applicability. I'll also need to do up an entirely different way to generate the kind of pattern that would be ideal. Probably some variation on the Berlin camouflage pattern(s).

These look really good, even better than the last ones. U gonna apply them to a uniform?

I need to do some tests with just the fabric and make sure I'm happy with the pattern before I sew any uniforms; as it stands, I'll need to wait until May or June to test the summer palette, and the others, barring the winter palette, I may not ever get to test. So my answer is yes and no, but not yet.
