Description "Missile! Brake, brake!" Lieutenant Ronja Jacobson didn't need her wingman to know that, the computer is already telling her that and more.
"Spiking! Flare, flare, flare!" she responds over the com. The next second she sees a small white line fly past her. Who ever they are, they have some serious firepower. The next second a plane flies by her, definitely not a Gripen.
"Stay on him Markus, I go after the next one" she tells her wingman.
"I'm on him. I'm diving on him from above, he has nowhere to run." Ronja looks back in front of her, she had a good enough contact on the other one to fire a missile, but after the last few hours of air combat she didn't know if it was friend or foe. She had to ID it first.
She broke the cloud cover she had and looked in the direction of the contact, and there, a plane came out from the cloud in front of her. A russian Su-35, she thought. She doeasn't recognize the ID or the markings on it, but it definitely wasn't a friend. The next second it turned and climbed to try to get into the clouds again and away from her weapons.
"Oh no you don't" she says and turns after it. He have made a big mistake, and probably his last by turning first, allowing her to get on his tail. But he made the easier turn, and is making good speed to try and fly away from her, but he can't outrun a IRIS-T missile. The computer is giving her a good signal.
"Target locked. Fox 2!"

Commision from


Yay another picture done! And more jet fighters too! Two Svenska Flygvapnet (Swedish Air Force) Saab JAS-39 Gripen (One off screen) conductingΒ  what has become a hostile interception of two boogeys of unknown nationality. All that is known is that they're Sukhoi Su-35 Flanker-E. Some rather unpolite grey airmen. Haha.

I had quite a lot of fun doing this work. Never drawn a Gripen before so I am rather happy that it has turned out this good. Gotta keep drawing more fighters in the future.

I hope you guys like. Gonna start work on an older drawing I've never colored but since it's the season I thought it would be fitting to complete it. You shall see soon enough.

I should still have one more commision to work on so I will be getting in touch with that person to arrange the details.

I am likely to announce taking further commisions from you guys around January. Gotta keep myself drawing like this. It's a good pace. Will be going through your comments and replies throughout the weekend.

I'll see you on the Battlefield!

Don't know what you mean by "redraw". I just drew the fighter on paper using two perspective points and a lot of reference pictures to get the proportions and the details right. It's probably not 100% accurate but I'd say it's 95%ish? I think I did rather well, I hope to do even better in the future.

*The missile flew but it slipped when the SU-35 pilot fired the flares, then he used the cobra maneuver to make the JAS-39 Gripen outstrip him, now he can fire back.*

Considering that you drew a Gripen for the first time it looks damn good^^ I also love the effect on the heat exhaustion of the jet engine^^

I dont know how I should call it but those "smear-effects" for the clouds and the raindrops making this pic look really alive^^

It's a blur effect. More specifically it's a zoom radial blur effect which helps a lot to give that motion effect. Perfect for scenes like this.

I'm glad you like it
