Here's mine. Highly influenced by the new Air India colours.



PS: my first time with Photoshop, so kindly excuse the shoddy appearance.

Man, how do you manage to create such realistic looking liveries 
PS: A B737-800 with only one overwing exit? [I have to crib about something ]

That doesn't look like a 737-800 to me...

My attempt of making a good livery (which didnt turn out good) on paint, then do the shadings on GIMP

That's because it's a 737-300, I guess
And don't write off your own liveries too soon, it's a very good start. There's just the few slightly obvious things, such as shading (as pck wrote) and how your airline name in the second livery goes right over the wing

Well, you're using Photoshop, that's a big plus already. Basically, what you do is you create a new layer that goes over your painting layer, whichever that is, and stick a simple gradient in there using the Gradient Tool, then selecting the preset white to black gradient. You make sure the white is completely see-through (opacity at 0%), then drag the tool top to bottom over your livery. Then just crop out the bits of the gradient you don't want to have in your livery, basically everything that's not the airplane, adjust the opacity of the layer until you think it works, and you have a very, very basic shading.

Mr.Orange, may I ask where did you get this livery from?
Amazing repaint!

Here's my bad and unoriginal attempt in recoloring an airplane:


I got it here, it is the Airbus A360.
