My newest aviation art (and a contest!)

[RedDg]

Well, I have decided to go for it  (my own aviation art business).  I have lots of information and a few good ideas on the business end of things.  Now it's time to draw!

I haven't put anything on canvas in 4 years, and am very rusty.  But the decision has been made, and best of all I have my wife's support.  I've also decided to get into WW2 related work as well as my fast jets.  This picture will serve as a 'warm up', and I will probably do a total of 3 in black-and-white before I switch back to color.  

So the scenario is: Late war over the skies of Europe.  Through a stroke of fate 2 master fighter pilots have found themselves together on pretty even beginning terms.  What 2 aircraft shall it be?

I would like to hear your suggestions, and I will pick one winning suggestion and draw it out to the best of my ability.  For the winner I will give (well I can't promise a print of the finished work since I don't have that worked out yet).  But for the suggestion that sounds the best I will give a digital photo of the finished work at the resolution of your choice.

Change it to early war and Malan Vs. Moelders



or WWI 56 Squadron Vs. Voss

"I shall never forget my admiration for that German pilot, who single handed, fought seven of us for ten minutes . . . I saw him go into a fairly steep dive and so I continued to watch, and then saw the triplane hit the ground and disappear into a thousand fragments, for it seemed to me that it literally went into powder." James McCudden

"His flying was wonderful, his courage magnificent and in my opinion he is the bravest German airman whom it has been my privilege to see fight." James McCudden

"If I could only have brought him down alive..." Arthur Rhys Davids to James McCudden

P47 vs FW190, If you want to add depth put a b17 formation in the distance with flak hits around em.

Glad to see your going to give it a shot.

Sally Strudders(sp?) Vs. Gary Coleman

[Eagler]

109 defending his homeland from attacking b17's (little dots in background - many of them) against impossible odds as he is outnumbered by P51D's of superior numbers.

the scene would be a close up of the 109/P51 conflict ( maybe the 51 following the 109 up in a zoom) with other 51's (much smaller) in the foreground showing they out number the vailant defenders. Waves B17's (formation dots)  in background.

gl with your project and biz venture
