Jet Fighter Wallpaper

[Zeealex]

I know i know, another dark wallpaper.

BUT this one is a bit more out of my comfort zone in the sense that i've never tried implementing a Jet Fighter into any of my artwork as the main basis in this way. and it's not black and blue it's more of a black on orange/red sort of color scheme instead

Let me know your thoughts

P.S i know the overlay over the plane is unsharp. it's because of the warping involved, all masking was done by hand too

I really like this Alex. And the unsharpness works great. I like the quote, I like the colors, the torpedo, the texture below which looks like a barely discernible ground ... NICE. One of your best.

 

[Zeealex]

thank you Clare! the background is a bump map of a ground texture, so you are right on the money there
i'm glad the missile looks okay, and the unsharpness, i was worried that they may throw the image off, as the missile doesn't fully agree with the perspective

[Zeealex]

Here you go, XD.



I know, it's not long and narrow enough! It's a great wallpaper Zee.

Nice image manipulation, and creativity!
And, I see you have managed to make that into a signature.
Good job.

Hi Zee. One little suggestion you can of course ignore. How about taking the missile jetstream (or whatever it's called) and running it through the "zeealex?"

 

[Zeealex]

that is an AMAZING idea!

 

[Zeealex]

Theres a blocky blur around the missile, also the flames at the rear could do with a little edge softening just make things look less pasted on.
Nice colours though, and a great idea for a wallpaper/siggy.

 

[Zeealex]

the blur's meant to be like that Paul the flames are a little hard to soften as there's a very annoying blend mode in place, but I'll see what i can do. thanks
