Artist's Comments

This is a piece I did for a d20 game called Rocketship Empires:1936 [link] It seems like everyone is doing retrofuturism now. :)

this is a great art work. it looks like a combination of a supermarine spitfire middle fuselage , gloster meteor wings, and a messerschmitt 109 front. am i right? good job :D
:iconmalaveldt:
Yes, with a couple more things thrown in. :) The nose light is taken from something I saw on a pre-radar british fighter (I think it was a Vampire) and the cooling louvers were stolen from the FW-190A. The gunmetal speedbrakes on the engines were stolen from 1980s anime.

I'm glad you like it. I learned a lot doing that book, and I came away with a few pictures I feel very pleased with even now.

I swear these look awesomely close to some game I played a while back... I think it was one of those microsoft space combat games.

I like how you rearranged the bits of a spitfire and then added elements from other stuff . Quite nifty!

It looks like the some of the Japanese plains that were designed but never built.

The wings reminds me the spitfire or the seafire from WWII

Superb! You have a knack for the anachronistic ;-)
