GE,

Yeah.. it was the same for me starting out.  I can't remember all the names of the guys who used to own me, but I do remember they were mostly from A-Land (I was in B-Land when I started), probably DoK's crew.  Then after awhile it was the DFA.  I never was any good at strategy though. I remember someone put me in charge of a squad in one of those scenario's, thinking that cuz I could shoot stuff down, I must have a high tactical IQ or something.  Was definately NOT the case! lol

Your painting is a legend amongst the Muskies.  If I were to die tomorrow, I'm sure B-Man would be callin my wife asking for that painting.  :rofl
I might of been able to shoot down some people in AW, but I could never even approach the artistic talent you have, be it with mouse, pen, plotter, or brush.  I hope your still painting.  Do you have a website displaying your work?

Jeeezus those pics bring back memories.
I remember looking at some of those first few screenshots at the time and thinking that I wish the game looked that good.
LOL and what about that cockpit! lmao

Course what isnt shown is that co pilot who refused to look you in the eye.. Bastage!  ;)

And of course seeing new players chewing out the supply drones for not answering them.  I still remember one player getting mad after he made repeated attempts to contact z1234 (drone C47) to ask if he needed an escort.

I dont have a 'site' .. I do have a bunch of stuff up on photobucket.

http://s138.photobucket.com/albums/q260/1grayeagle/GEart/

Once I was into harness as a game artist I didn't do anymore painting, was too caught up in 3dStudio then Max then Multigen's Creator.

Now I am gettin back into Max again .. the latest experiment is a vette concept I wanted to do, then I imported my 3dStudio Mustang, and then I imported my 3dMax B-17 (from when Max had just come out)



After bein 'out of it' for awhile when the falcon V company dried up and blew away ..leavin me about as broke as I have ever been,
..went thru some tough years learnin to be a Nurse ..was a good run for a few years as a Nurse, enjoyed most of it.

Now I am aimin right at a 3d Artist gig again .. I just cannot 'do' Nurse anymore.
Their 'bad' days are unimaginable.

Goodyear Wingfoots?  First of the gators.  Only problem, they only lasted a few thousand miles. I loved them.

I have a coffee cup with the B-17 Blood Dragon on it. I got it some years ago from DoKs site.

Always admired your artwork GE-.

I joined AH2 2 years ago and Ive seen the guys who winged up with me as noobs get better and watched the enviroments and flight models grow into a sim that as of late defeats IL2 and other noteable competitors.

AH2 will last for a long time, we will all make sure of that.

Seeing this air warrior stuff makes me realize alot of you guys have been around dogfighting before I learnt to walk and that makes me laugh :D

And this artwork should be collected into a gallery its truly spectacular we should pool and start a museum :D
