Miniature B-17 nose art flat

[Milosh]

Thanks wargamesculptor, that is an excellent way to point it out. I'll get that changed as well, thank you. I couldn't see it before but with your illustration it stands out big time now.

Nice ones DR!

Thanks KB! That will come in useful.

I worked a little on the hand, it's looking better but the pinky suffered a little so I gotta fix that now. Continued filling out the background too.

Looks good mate, hands a bit off but still a stunner

 

[wargamesculptor]

The hands looking a lot better, very good work on giving three dimensional shading to a flat surface

Really awesome stuff Milosh!

So I slack off on checking the forum over the weekend and look what I miss! Very cool work, Milosh. I really like the 2nd one. Aside from the obvious reasons, I think your use of colors in the shadows is very cool and the pose is nice and dynamic.

I like the idea of adding some additional aircraft structure. But what about bullet holes from a strafing run?

 

[Taarnak]

Coming along nicely Milosh.

One critique that I have is that you have made her wrist on the Radial (Thumb) side protrude way too much for that angle.

Quickie GIMP edit to show you what change I would recommend:

Other than that, looking pretty good.

I know you probably won't do it this time, but I think making the back of that the inner fuselage of the plane is a fantastic idea.

Keep up the good work.

Thanks WGS, 10, Moe, Bailey and Taarnak for checking these nugs out.

@Taarnak; that's it! That edit makes a huge difference. I couldn't see it till you fixed it. Nice work sir and an easy fix tonight, Thanks for taking the time to do that sir. it's so funny how those things are invisible until pointed out and then they are painfully obvious.

Here's a little update on the one Bailey likes (I like her too). I worked on the face a little more trying to get it right. Still a ways to go on it.

You're gonna hate me but I've spotted whats wrong with the face.
You've given her the Sloth face from Goonies...........the placement of the nearest eye is lower on the face than the furthest eye.
To me you need to reduce the amount of inner eyesocket/lid on that eye, moving the eye itself up.
I think you'll have to reduce the eye size as well to balance.

Faces are a nightmare for me to sketch and I'm always making this kind of error.

Nosir, no hate from me, only a thank you. It is so hard to identify problems in ones own work even when you can see that there is one. I was leaning towards that as the possible problem and now you have confirmed it. thank you sir.

BTW, what do you have against sloth face.

 

[Dragonsreach]

I got nothing against Slith faces, afterall I seem to draw a lot of them myself.
Besides ain't no oil painting looking out mirrir back at me.

Wow milosh, branching out! And into my favorite area - pinups.

 

[Milosh]

Thanks DR and Tryst. Trystan, it's no secret they are my favorites too. I am very glad a fellow pin-upper likes them.

Here is a little update on the last one I'm going to do for awhile. This one will be called "Bombs Away" and she will be dropping a bomb from her outstretched hand. I was originally going to have her hair all wild like you can see in the original sketch of the figure but after starting on the hair I think I like the shorter tame hair better. What do you guys think?

These pictures take you from the first sketch to where I finally stopped on her last night.

wow, another one! I was going to suggest red shoes but the blue is knockout. It would be nice to see these on the side of an aircraft.
