Sounds nice. If you do end up doing it, I'll probably continue using Batania lol. I'd probably not focus on it too much and just use it as an excuse to create weird designs, because that's always fun
since you're using paper and pencil, i recommend controlling your pressure. Since you erase a lot, use light lines. Maybe this is obvious but for me that's something that took time for me to figure out lol

For hair, some general tips would be to remember that hair has volume, and is not just a flat piece of cut out cloth.

depth. do not make your cockpits flat as it would look boring.
I also recommend using varying shades of your cockpit color (for example, gray) to emphasize this. the closer the part to you, the lighter the value. You can make it obvious but i like to do it subtly
@GalaxiesDontSlleep a general direction which it could turn away from. Besides, youre forgetting about doctrine here. An F-22 will probably not give away its main advantage, its stealth, just to pursue one objective, a single fighter. You need to remember that doctrine exists for a reason, and thats to maximize your advantages and minimize weaknesses. Why get rid of your main advantage by getting close when you could just, idk, stay a safe distance away and fight from there. Besides, if the objective is to get rid of enemy aviation, your airfields are getting bombed, and your planes would probably be bombed too. Doctrine
@GalaxiesDontSlleep makes sense, though its likely that it wont even really matter in the end. lets take your F-22 example
say it sees you first, you dont see it. it launches a missile. You say youll hunt at this point, but could you really? You cant see the F 22, and once it has launched the missile it has probably already turned to the other direction and ran the fuck away. You aint chasing something you cant see. You could follow where the missile came from, but what if the F-22 turned to another direction that isnt where they launched the missile. You can see where the missile was launched, but not the aircraft that launched the missile, which will 100% try to leave the area once that missile is launched. Thats the doctrine
@GalaxiesDontSlleep I mean, it could work, thats why they have an EA-18G, but theres probably a reason why they have F-22s and F-35s instead of doing a dogfighter with radar confuser thingies. Weight of the jammer pods could be one, then Anti radiation missiles like HGBP said
Although, this could make an interesting alternate universe scenario for a story, so that would be very interesting
@GalaxiesDontSlleep I was gonna go sleep too lol, but basically, I use a photo editor called Polish and do the whole remove background thing and text behind the plane all on that app. Although if I'm on PC, I find that Paint 3d seperates the plane very accurately and I use that sometimes
@GalaxiesDontSlleep I've been doing that for a few months now and all I can say is that if one of your plane girls defects to another country Iran style (think F-14 tomcat), it can get very dramatic
On another note, you can see one of my own plane girls on my newest plane lol. I only have a few of them so far though and it's mostly in my sketchbook
Very nice plane.
,
I actually kinda dig the weird looking stepped rear thing because I have a soft spot for weird designs, idk. Plus it harkens back to that original plane, really showing that despite the changes, its in essence, the same plane
Why does it feel like this exact same trend happened a few years ago and is just being repeated again. I swear I saw a similar community cube thingy 3 or 4 years ago
@KPLBall I mean yeah, makes sense lore wise yes, that doesnt change the fact that its boring to me. just an observation really. dont mind it too much really

just watching

@GalaxiesDontSlleep interesting, that could work, but hgbp does bring some good points too
At the end of the day, I'm taking screenshots because this could create an interesting story setting y'know.
Ouchy ouchy
It's nice, but damn, 273 parts. I'd have probably used the base mesh of the small rotators to save some parts but maybe that would have been too thick
Very nice though

@DrakonDynamics I see thanks
(Actually kind of convenient because I get to create a flag that will be easy to add on a tail surface)
+1Does batania have a flag
+1Because I'm totally not going to paint the flag on the entire tail. Nope, nuh uh. Totally not
Ah yes, plane girls, very nice
@Graingy from the hotdog store
Does he have a metal arm
+1@DrakonDynamics oohh, now I know what to do
+1.
Thank
So whats the lore of Batania or something? Ill probably make a jet for that specific country because why not
+1@StinkyRice thanmk
+1@StinkyRice access denied sadge
it looks like a hotdog
+1for some reason i didnt see the white main wings so i thought it had very tiny wings lmao
+1Very nice plane.

I actually kinda dig the weird looking stepped rear thing because I have a soft spot for weird designs, idk. Plus it harkens back to that original plane, really showing that despite the changes, its in essence, the same plane
What I usually do is place the main cockpit on a hinge part or even a detacher
When you do this, the camera automatically centers where the main cockpit is
After that, I just move the cockpit around till I get a camera position that I like
+1Very nice, congrats on going dark lol
Kthxbye
very nice drawings

@Monarchii i see, thanks for tips, and yess underwater mods are mmm. Also reshade
+1how does one build using a keyboard and mouse anyway
@Monarchii yeppers, got nabbed while walking to the friggin phone fixing guys (they nabbed a broken phone lmao). currently hab no sp (sad)
whar the fuck
@TheNewSPplayer You can say that he's...b-1egging for people to make the B-1egg
(kill me)
tri engine moment
if only phone wasnt stolen
I've always said to myself that it's only pointless if you don't enjoy yourself
+1So far, still enjoying
Speechless honestly
I like sleeping on jeepneys lol. Idk, engine white nose maybe
+1LPA moment
