That’s the one! Back to you 🙂

As I’m confident I got it right, I hope RAB won’t mind me putting up the next pic. Vaguely similar again!

Trumper, the model I make is fully three-dimensional and can be viewed from any angle and any focal length. Like portrait photographers, who use a slightly narrower angle than the human eye (to closer represent our actual focal area), I tend to use portrait lenses for my work. Anywhere from 70-135 mm typically. Of course it depends on the image, sometimes a wide angle works well too.

Thanks Geoff! I particularly like the close-up of that Red Arrow. Very well done!

The Whirlwind stuff is very cool, I particularly like the first set of retro posters!

Deskpilot, orthogonal view/projection is another word for it, I use it a lot. The 2-point perspective isn’t very pretty I find, though some masterful artwork was made with it. Think M.C. Esher. As long as you crop off the outer zones, it’s pretty acceptable.

I was on my way to the GAvA exhibit this morning, when a jumper at Wimbledon cut my journey short 🙁
I hope I’ll get another chance later this week, though of course most the painters won’t be there then. I’d hoped to meet a few friends today whom I’ve not seen for a long time.

Though not really artwork, maybe of interest: a quick experiment with a blueprint-style isometric projection:

Without blueprint effects it looks like this:

Those who wonder why the left wing is so short… it isn’t, it’s the result of the projection, which is perspective-less. Hence “near” parts look smaller than “far” parts. They’re actually identical, except the wings appear not equal due to the dihedral. More about iso projections here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isometric_projection

And some snippets of the line drawing:

These are all created using the same 3D model that I created for the cover art, profile illustrations and line drawings for Osprey Publication’s Ki-27 ‘Nate’ Aces, by Nicholas Millman.
