Final Lady Luck image/s

Finally found these two images hiding in a random place on the hard drive.

Hello again! Just wanted to point people in the right direction on the jacket painting. Please go to the blogs from 2010 for the step by step blogs. Also, i'm going to start on another jacket in the near future. Probably May. I have also been thinking about the website and content for it. So there will be more than just how to paint the jackets on it. I will also put up the final image of the 'Lady Luck,' jacket soon. A

Lady luck progress

Hi all.
Here's a progress image of the jacket Lady Luck.
Tricky one at the beginning, as the jacket had been treated with a waterproof coating, or something. I had to go over the artwork several times. It's fine now though.
I really happy with it so far.

Anyone else painting anything?

B17 film

Am waiting for the jacket (Lady luck) to arrive from the states. Should be soon.

Bought a film called Fortress. It's about B17's in the med during the war.
Not one real 17 in the film. All CGI. But, I really liked it.

Still, the best film, is 12 O clock high. This stars Gregory Peck as a commander sent to take over a demoralised 'hard luck,' bomb group. This film is more about the huge stress placed onto crew flying missions and it's effect on the different characters in the film.

Have a look at the synopsis on Wiki.

Back to work

I've been a bit quiet recently, as my company cut a few people (due to recession), myself included. So I have been running around looking for work. So now I'm working as a freelancer designing identities and brochures and have some stuff lined up.

So, things are a bit more stable in my life and I'm going to start on the new jacket commissioned from someone in the US. This jacket will be called 'Lady luck.'

I will hopefully be painting early December.

And another!

From the States.
From a lady no less. Hope you manage to get your jacket soon K.
I have found a good piece of reference.
