Artist's Note

A turboprop aircraft over a generic landscape.

This one was hard. Really hard. Took me more time than ever to get this airplane done. I guess it was a mistake to chose this motive since it might not be best for a wall, but anyway, now it's too late.

Size is 1600x1200.
No Filters, no 3D, just plain layers and transparency... =)

Comments and ratings are very welcome!

Do you have the source image for this one. I always like looking at the 'before' to see what you have done.

I can't provide you a direct link but you can find the reference photo at www.bombardier.com, it's photo number 10 of the Q400 series photos. I didn't took over the background because I just wanted the aircraft view, not to create a copy of someone elses photo. Anetalaya, actually I already had a train in mind =) But there won't be any tutorial!

I'm runnig out of synonymous for "amazing wall". Can I do a request? since you are working with trasnportation, would you do one with trains or subways? better trains, subways are a little over donne =)...

I think it looks great, but for future reference most two engine planes have counter-rotating props. I think it is a nice touch to see the rotation though =)
