Thunderbirds are go!!!!!!!!

Hi Jester,
I think Blowhard's job on the pylons works well. I don't know that it would matter if the outboard was lighter or darker, just as long as it was different.
I reckon you need to do some work on the Sidewinder shadows. The wing and tail shadows are so strong but there is no sign of that strength of shadow being cast by the missile and pylon.
The aerial pointing toward the viewer on the fin looks to have less sweep on the leading edge than on the trailing edge, judging by the shadow. Does this aerial get larger as it goes away from the fin?
There is some very nice mass happening here, she is looking quite heavy.
Very nice work.
Grubby.

Wow!! Beautiful work, as always
One little nit to pick is the shape of the wing shadow on the lower rear fuselage. I think it curves in the wrong direction and implies a concave shape--it should curve in opposite direction, similar to shadow on tank.

What a gorgeous piece of work. Thanks for sharing.

Yes Vacajun, with the lighting source being set slightly forward of centre, the curve on the engine being cast by the wing should be reversed.
I’m just going to eradicate the Spanish in RTW then get on with the drawing, 1 turn trust me.

Hmmm interesting red X looks like my signature!

Really fantastic Jesters.

Superb, Jesters! You've managed the difference in shading between the inboard and outboard pylon quite well: there is a better sense of volume and distance. However, the uppersurface pylon carrying the AIM-9 now looks a bit bizarre because it's further away but lighter, which is not consistent with the technique you've applied.

I also think you can tone down this shading effect and still achieve what you were looking for.

What do you think, Supah? Shall we add Jesters to the list of potential jet superkings? Surely he's worth it!

[BLOWHARD]

Yeah buddy! That looks great!
Maybe you can arm wrestle Supah for the title of Jet Master

I must echo everybody else's sentiments. It really is great. One minor nitpick though I have a couple of images of XZ-364 around here someplace, and it really is blackened with dirt and grime which at this size seems a little lacking.

You are indeed a "Jet Master" and have inspired me to try my first jet. I though am a very lowly apprentice when it comes to the fast movers.

[SunDog]

Wow, Now that is looking more like it.
