Description
Some quicker picture between the works for my company.I like planes from my childhood but this is a first time that I've paint some.
Its not an classical aviation art, but I hope you will like it. Its a F-4c Phantom from Air Defence Command squadron, based on Iceland. So I want to catch the hard weather conditions in which the planes have operated.
Those Phantoms were assigned with the defending of the norhern atlantic.
Done in Photoshop CS3 Beta + intuos3 , with the help of some custom brushes. Refs used, some photos of plane and 3d model for perspective.

I think part of the book "Red Storm Rising" took place in Iceland. I think it was Soviet airborne troops invaded the country.

I really admire the detail you paid attention to how the ice forms at the areas where they freeze and the impact of the ice crystals flying in the blizzard.
Currently I am working on a drawing on ships in a stormy sea and I am putting in some windblown rain effects from what I observe in nature. In fact the stormy weather was inspired by what you have done here. The difference is while your piece is of a close-up subject, mine is taken from some distance away so certain details have to be foregone.
However its still not as realistic as what you have so I am going slow on it to experiment with getting it right.

This is awesome looking!! I was at Kaflavik AB in 1998. Didn't get to see this weather, fortunately. But man I worked in this stuff at Fairchild AFB. I crewed KC-135's there.

My God...my god my god my god. You did an absolutely amazing job on this. The McDonnel Douglas F-4 Phantom MkII is my favorite plan of all time, and this is beautiful beyond any words I know in my vocabulary. Absolutely STUNNING work.

Very nice work, this is a testament to the reliability of the phantom. Pitty, they are used for target practice now. Colors in this photo are fantastic. It portrays a dark and dismal event and the aircraft "Holding strong".

I love the F-4c Phantom, has a good fate of speed and can deliver a lot of payload.... better watch out for those Napalm Strikes..

Pretty epic! Must've taken some effort to get those Phantoms operational again after that, right? ^_^

How near to my heart, as I served the ADC as a ground radar technician in the USAF, and my field were often sent to Iceland, Greenland and Alaska.

blimey, that makes me feel cold just looking at it! i feel sorry for the plane haha...my favourite feature from this is the tiny little red light that can be seen on the tip of the distant tower...it makes the setting seem even bleaker and harsh. again, great work!

Wow! You really captured the toughness of the airplane and the ferocity of the ice storm! It might just be me, but the angle of the plane seems a little off. It's great, though - I love your work.
