Thanks Skyraider! I'm fighting a cold-my brain isn't working right.

Sorry, too tired to figure out the glitch-stay tuned- same Bat channel etc.

I thought this thread needed a jump start. I have to get the plane stuff out of my head. The 1930's racing planes are just my favorite thing.

I know you're all sitting around saying "Golly gee, when is Spunkmeyer going to show pix of his new office/studio". We're still moving stuff and organizing, but I'm hyped-I've wanted to do this for a ...

Anybody remember the Max Fleischer Superman cartoons from the 1940's? They were on sale at Target-2 DVDs for a buck apiece! The plots are pretty simplistic, and the music gets a little annoying after ...

Here is why I haven't been here for a while. I couldn't resist showing off a sneak preview of our new office/studio. This used to be our garage. Now if I can only get the freakin' electricians and car ...

That's cool Mark. I keep thinking (and not doing) something like this for my father. He got a joy ride in a Lockheed T-33 when he was in Korea. I guess that was quite rare.

Thanks, Bob. I kinda figured that was it. I don't really like it set up that way though.

Just got a new puter with a NVIDIA GeForce FX 5950 Ultra card and trying to figure out the dual display. How the hell do you get Painter 8 to be able to move the tool boxes onto the second monitor? Is ...

The thread from the dead....
This is just experimenting with with a different style for me.
The Handley-Page Victor-The world's sexiest air intakes.
Oh Yeah, Thanks Lemur

This is interesting. I also have a mild fear of losing my eyesight. I see a lot of you feel you're not spontaneous enough-me too. I'm totally envious of artists who can just sit down and draw some won ...

Ok, I'll jump in. My first 'real' job after school was designing calendars for a big printing company. I learned alot but hated it-being the little cog in the big machine. Then I worked for a screen p ...

That sounds like reason enough. Cool.

I think a lot of abstract art is interesting to look at, but I've never understood why certain ones are considered 'genius' or worth zillions. Eyewoo, can you tell me what these are trying to convey, ...

Man, where do you guys get the time for all this? Obviously much faster then I am. Really great stuff everyone. I think I'm learning more here than when I went to school. This was done in corel photo- ...

I'm just calling this jet-assisted gliders. Do you think Sigmund Freud would have anything to say about this?
Bill-Awesome. I wish I could be that 'loose'
Mark-Can't wait to see the finished version ...

M.C.-You beat me to it! I was just fooling around with that concept. Cool design.

I used a bigger brush than I'm usually comfortable with to force myself to keep it loose and fast. Acrylic.
PS-Did everyone have a little too much coffee today?

Nice stuff, everyone.

I agree, the background isn't working for it. How about more directional lighting?

Capt. Fred- I think this is looking good. Maybe the inventor should be looking more intently at his machine. As for acrylics, I've used 'em for years-just start slappin' them on a board. They dry so f ...

This is more 'design' than 'art'. The idea is a super low-drag wing with uninterupted airflow-no wing tip vortex drag. The tail surfaces would flex the wing for roll control. The 'cockpit' would hang ...

I didn't know I was a biggle. I feel so important now. Wink

I guess you would call this a retro/fantasy air race. It's a bit overworked, but I had alot of fun with it.
MARK- All I got to say is....Damn, I wish I could draw like that.
SUMMER PUDDING- Very coo ...

Maybe there should be different aircraft threads. Jets or VTOL or...?

It's amazing how many ways robots can be portrayed. Very interesting stuff everyone.

Hey, Mark I really admire your confident line work and brush strokes. Do you sketch directly in ps?

This is a good first try.
A book that really helped me was "The acrylic Painting Book" by Wendon Blake. (sorry too lazy to search) It has really straightforward step by steps.
