More than I, for sure. Congratulation for all the books!

I know you're author of many books, even though, I can imagine how difficult is to do it, I mean start from 0, gather the info, organize it, do the design book, corrections,...and worse to have money to publish it or to who knows find some publisher who wants to do it as a sponsorship.

Recently I did my first book with a friend, it was not easy due to the whole process involved in doing it.

About the XB 70 - Any link where I could take those information and also their 3views?
So, I will be able to compare the two prototypes and check their visual differences.
Regards
Daniel

P.S. Could ypu please, take a look at my site and telll me your impression

I love your site - I sent images to your FB messages

 

[Geist]

Thank you very much for the comment
I saw it and already downloaded them. Thank you once more
Now I will study them to develop a good work (I hope so )

Beautiful artwork throughout this thread.


If I may, I would love to see a formation of B-70's using the AV1 design. IMHO, the dihedral of AV2 spoiled the lines of an extremely beautiful aircraft. AV1 possesses a look of raw power and speed.


Thank you for posting your art.

 

[Steve Pace]

That would defeat the purpose of them flying together. -SP

 

[SAustin16]

My mistake Steve. You are correct.


I mis-read the post, thinking he meant several "operational" B-70's flying in formation...


Man, I'm getting old.


Cheers from Texas

Hi
After a "long time", I'm back.
I know I still owe you a XB 70, but in this meantime I had to do some commissioned works and besides it I'm looking for a new pc, the one I was using is out of work.
Let's end with complaining about the problems and show those mentioned works.
I hope you enjoy them.
Regards,
Daniel.

The first is a Kfir

 

[Stargazer]

Nice artwork, but I believe something's desperately wrong about that Kfir's proportions...

I have to say that I loved the Fiat G91 picture.

I think the issue is that the Kfir's "telephoto-ed." There's very little parallax distortion (although there's foreshortening) and if the apparent distance is not great enough, it seems too small in front, too big at rear. The smaller you view the picture, the more normal it will look. I've seen some of Mr. Uhr's works that have lots of parallax, to dramatic effect!

Thanks Ian for the tip and comment. Certainly It'll give me parameter for the next projects and turn me more alert to these problems.
Only today I saw your post.
Soon I'll post some new works I did.
By the way Ian, is it good or not to have "lots of parallax, to dramatic effect!" ?
Regards,
Daniel.

 

[Geist]

Some extra works

Sorry, Daniel--I only saw YOUR post just now. Can you have too much parallax distortion? Maybe it's partly a matter of personal taste. I seem to have a high tolerance for sleek aircraft getting in my face. I like all your work, though, whatever the degree of "immediacy."

Hi Ian.
Thank you once more for the comment.
I'm glad to know that you like my work.


I know that this kind of style that I adopted is not largely appreciated.
It gives, sometimes, too much impact/dramaticity and people (in general) tend to choose less dramatic (at least, that what it seems to me) .


I, as can be seen in my latest works , prefer it under a impressive look. Reflect of my experience in the aeronautical area and my perception of the aircrafts.


As you said - it's a matter of personal taste.
Best regards
Thank you once more (Btw, apologise me for the delay in answering you)

P.S. Whenever you or any one else wants to do a comment about my work, feel free to do it. They are always welcome, since it is grounded and contributes to the growth.

Hi
I've been out for while, due to the works I had to do.
Well, I'm posting two works I did recently.
Besides, one of these two became also a wallpaper (1921x1200px) that is available for free in my website at the news link.

I hope you enjoy them.

Fouga - for box art

Meteor - for box art

 

[archipeppe]

Gorgeous!!

 

[Geist]

Thank you very much!

 

[Geist]

That's like those box art pictures, I cut out from catalogues years ago and pinned to the walls
of my room. Somehow your pictures bring back those times. Thank you !

I thank you!
This "feeling" you reported in your text, brought me back to a time when I was ten years old and dreamt in doing the arts for the scale box kit and now I reached it.
Thank you

 

[Geist]

Hi
Here goes the last three works I did
I hope you enjoy them

Nalajima Ki 10

Mirage Pantera

 

[Geist]

Hi.
After a long time I'm back.
In this mean time I did some aircraft illustrations that I'm going to post here, also vehicles that are not aircraft
Besides, I restructered my website - I would like to envite you to visit it. I hope you like it - http://duhraviationart.com/

By the way, the art below is an Atlas Cheetah done for a scale model cover box.

Book cover

 

[dan_inbox]

I can't find any information about this Dassault 117 project.
Any pointers?

Unfortunately no.
Until this work, I had no idea of its existence.
The few infos I received, I can not post it. Sorry.
I think the way to gain more info about it is acquiring the book.

 

[dan_inbox]

Thanks for the explanation, Daniel.
Is it so secret that you can't even tell a period and a role ? like bomber 1955s or recce 1960s ?

And do you already know what is the planned title for this upcoming book?

French Secret Projects 1: Post War Fighters by JC Carbonel

Really great job you did there, Daniel

 

[dan_inbox]

Thank you, Arjen.
Book not yet released today, but the title already answer half my questions: Part 1 post war FIGHTERS.

And indeed a great artwork by Daniel.

Not soooo secret
It is a project from late 60's. Probably an interceptor, as written by author.
For me could also be a Spy plane due to its configuration - two engines that looks like the used in SR 71.

Render IA-36 Condor by Aleklicho retouched to recreate tail "T", without reaching the quality of their work only to illustrate.

Looks great and close to the Tank's project.
Looks like a scale model

 

[Geist]

I'm not so sure, but I think I mentioned a fifth work I did for Crecy besides the other covers shown here.
At the time I could not show this new work.
Here it is. I hope you enjoy it
