Very nice! Despite your disclaimer, though, he looks quite 737-ish to me Are you going to turn him into a full-fledged planesona?

I don't know at the moment. It's my first one, so I might try to make a handful more with different subjects and such before I dive into a persona. :) Visual art is new to me, as is this community. I'm typically a music producer.

You're doing well, then. Hey, if you're interested, there's a group for planesonas now -  livingaircraft

(crud... didn't mean to post right away)

There's a certain bit of shameless self-promotion in this, as I also have a planesona... but I created the group after talking with a couple of other people with planesonas, and finding, with only a very little effort, at least 11 other people here on FA with one or more planesonas to their names.

Schweet... Well I'm on board. It's REALLY hard to find people on the internet into this sort of thing.

First attempt? ... I don't believe you. :P Looks awesome!

lol no it really is. I've done minor 'doodles' that looked like outlines and shit just to learn a little bit about Adobe Illustrator, but this was the first time I sat down like "Ok, I'm going to draw an airplane if it takes me all day." I spent a long time making adjustments and figuring out highlights and whatever. The thing about using teh computer instead of sketching on paper, is that I can grab the lines and tweak them as I go along, so when I recognize that something is the wrong angle or size it's easy to adjust. I'm really bad about sketching on paper because the number of revisions i must do means a lot of erasing and smudging, and it looks terrible.

What will be a sign of my improvement may not be in visual quality per se, but perhaps in the reduced number of errors and corrections in the process. ;)

He looks great!

Danke Sehr.

hey looks good to me sure as hell better than my crappy art XD
