Description PLEASE READ
I finally could end with this project... It took me like 2 to 3 weeks of work to get this done right.
Please, if you're going to fav it, at least, I'd like you to comment something... Thanks.

And I thought it would be good to make a text to explain what's going on here... so, if you're curious enough, then read :3

--
The sunlight was burning the vast desert beneath the soaring “Gaskhiyzhe”, or “Ancestor”, as the daltic pilots called the old F-4E. It was a routine patrol over the sands of the Abhul Desert, in kàdeszh territories –only air superiority activities were carried out in the uninhabitable area. The airs were calm, and the pilot was getting ready to return when the radar officer spoke.
-We’ve got a contact in the screen, Kommandant- said the Tyeniynt. – Two raptors, no bomber signals, probably Su-27 or MiG-29. Distance 10 o’ 12 km, speed 8-50kph aprox. Heading NE, right at our 11 o’clock.
-Received, Eschner- answered the pilot, increasing the engine’s thrust –We’re gonna teach those bastards how to fear Kommandant Erik Haptmann!
–Be careful, Ekky- a voice spoke through the radio –those rupian pilots are something serious. I fought along them years ago.
-Don’t worry, kitty. I know how to handle arrogant pilots. Gotta show them my rookie side… then they’ll fall in the trap
-Take care, dear. Control Neviy, out.

By that moment, the two foes were at just 3 kms of distance. Both planes opened cannon fire at the same time, but Erik dodged just in time in an improvised turning. Just after that, he close-turned right, in search of the enemy.
-Raptor, 10 o’clock low, heading 12!- shouted Eschner –excellent for a seeker!
-The idiot is flying in a straight line! I’m not gonna waste a missile on the bastard- answered Erik, while he maneuvered to get a better lock with his sight. –Let’s spray him!
At that very moment, the prey turned around and dived, while a beeping whistle warned Ekky he was in someone else’s sight.
-Raptor, 8 o’clock, heading here! Make something, sir!- Eschner desperately shouted
-Just a little… just a little…- whispered Erik. At the same time, the foe fired a missile and turned away without waiting for the results. The missile flew quickly towards the old F-4E, and the beeping alert started buzzing more frequently. The missile advanced inexorably against them, while Ekky alertly watched it.
-Now!- shouted Ekky, furiously, while pulling the control stick with all his strength, rolled and executed a Split S maneuver. The missile, trying to correct its course, lost the target and flew away into the immensity of the desert
-Time to show ‘em, sir?- asked Eschner, with a bright of confidence in his voice.
-That’s right, sir- answered Erik calmly, and turned in search of his first target of the day.
-Okay… Two raptors, 3 o’ 4 km, 9-50kph aprox. Heading W, 8 o’clock.
-Right… a slight maneuver, a Sparrow and some gunfire and it’s ended.
The F-4 quickly gathered speed as the afterburners were lit on. The enemy planes were flying their way home, confidents of another victory, as the F-4 stealthy slipped in their 6.
2500mts.

2000mts.

1500mts.

1000mts.

750mts


At the distance he was from them, he could easily tell they were flying a pair of MiG-29, wearing the omnipresent air superiority tri-tone gray cammo, making a clear silhouette against the blue sky, white clouds and dark yellow sands of the desert. Ekky have flown them before, and knew all of its capabilities.
At just 250mts from one of the MiGs, Erik pressed the trigger and sprayed the objective with his Vulcan cannon. The explosive rounds brought dark smoke and fire out of the hit exhausts, and pierced the right wing. The plane turned right and lost control for a moment, but the pilot could control it for enough to eject.
-Another lover will cry tonight, I guess- said Ekky, as he saw the parachute slowly descending.- That guy stands no chance down there.
The other MiG tried to escape from the hunter, but a short spray from the F-4’s cannon seriously damaged its dive controls. Eschner thought his partner would end the job just bringing the plane down just as he did with the first. But what followed would surely be one of the strangest stories that the rupian history shall never tell.
At the cockpit of the MiG-29, the pilot was fighting with the controls to get away by any terms from the situation. He was sure that, if he jumped, his thick fur would cook him alive even before being able to touch the sandy soil. By the other hand, if he stayed in the plane, his heartless opponent would shoot him until there was nothing left to shoot at, just as it happened to his wingman. He was thinking about his beloved vixen and his family, back at home, with the clear idea of not being able to kiss his wife, or hug his children. Then, suddenly, a voice cracked into the radio of the plane.
-Here Kommandant Erik Haptmann, speaking, do you receive me?
The pilot couldn’t believe what he just has heard. He even thought it was just his imagination.
-Kommandant Haptmann speaking, do you copy?- the voice insisted in a marked accent.
-I… I receive you… loud and clear- answered the pilot, with a somewhat broken voice.- Here Mayor Ciro Fox, speaking.
-Good to hear that,- answered Erik –at least I know I’m not speaking to deaf ears now, Maior.
-What do you want from me?- asked Ciro, with a trace of angst in his voice.
-I want you to live, Maior- said Erik, keeping his sight right over Ciro’s tail. –As long as you will to do so, anyways.
-Is this a trick or something? Because I’m not in the right mood for jokes- said Ciro, this time with an angrier voice.
-Isn’t life a joke, Maior?- laughed Ekky.
This pilot’s attitude was getting in Ciro’s nerves, and every time he called him Maior, with that Russian accent, he felt an urge to kill him with a club or something. But in the situation he was, it was obvious that this pilot was the one who put the game rules there.
-So… how can you assure you won’t shoot me when I flee- asked the suspicious fox.
-Because, if I wanted to shoot you, Maior,- explained Erik –I’d do it right now.
-Right… I… I guess… I’ll have to trust your word.- Ciro stuttered, -Thanks for the second chance.
-Just flee, Maior,- ordered Erik -and greet what’s left of your squad once you get safe. Kommandant Erik Haptmann, out.

Chances are he died of dehydration after his water supply ran out, unless he was able to get to an oasis, in which case he might have had a chance of being picked up by a desert patrol of either side.

Soy re colorido en lo que es dibujar aviones x3 Encuentro que es la parte divertida de todo el asunto, darle vida a la maquina. Me gusta lograr darle algo asi como un poco de historia en la imagen, que haga que el espectador se pregunte sobre quien es el piloto, que pasa en la imagen, cosas asi d:

Nice one. But in real life the f4 would probably not survive against a pair of mig 29
But no other words for it than these: "fav this one!"

PatchKatz In reply to Saint-Jan [2008-08-28 22:18:16 +0000 UTC]

Though... It also has to with pilots...
In the context, daltic pilots have a lot of combat experience due to the continuous wars against other countries. They usually have their first fight the day they end their training, or so...
Now, rupian people tend to be quite superb... thanks to that, one of the pilots made the mistake of considering the plane shot down as soon as he fired the missile... then, Ekky took advantage of that...

Saint-Jan In reply to PatchKatz [2008-08-29 09:52:20 +0000 UTC]

But there is still then the problem of one other mig 29 flying around in the neighbourhoud. What happend with that mig?

PatchKatz In reply to Saint-Jan [2008-08-29 19:33:00 +0000 UTC]

The first was shot down... the the F-4 got in the second's tail and seriously damaged its diving panels. The F-4 pilot comunnicated with the Mig pilot and convinced him to return to base...

Saint-Jan In reply to PatchKatz [2008-08-29 19:58:23 +0000 UTC]

So the F-4 pilots shot down a mig and forced a mig to land on a friedly base to surrender. With pilots like that the war will soon be over, lol.

PatchKatz In reply to Saint-Jan [2008-08-29 20:55:26 +0000 UTC]

Actually, he let him flee...
It's a complicated thing to fully explain... these warring countries where old allies, and some pilots of both sides made their names in the other's popular tales... in this case, Ciro was very famous between daltic pilots, and it is known that he appreciated life more than the rest of his comrades... that's why Ekky let him flee...

Saint-Jan In reply to PatchKatz [2008-08-29 21:00:25 +0000 UTC]

Thats friendly of him but it could get him killed if the pilot just turns around and shoot him down from behind. Beacause F-4 phantoms didn't have rear radar. Maybe the new versions I don't know. Lets keep it with this: damm fine art work, I am looking forward to your next donation. Greetz Saint-Jan

Well, it's up to the pilot's decision... daltic pilots have a lot of moral values, something like WWI pilots...

Thanks! I'll be working on something else soon :3

Ekky esta volando el avion del dibujo
Se encuentra con dos aviones enemigos
Los dos aviones le disparan de frente y fallan
Ekky se pone detrás de uno y se le acerca para dispararle
De pronto, el avión sube, y el otro le lanza un misil desde unos 4kms, por la derecha
Ekky se mantiene en el camino del misil hasta el ultimo segundo, entonces sube, gira 180° y se lanza en picado, esquivando el misil
Los aviones se alejan pensando que derribaron a Ekky
Ekky logra acercarse sin ser visto, hasta ponerse detrás de uno y lo derriba a cañonazos
Cuando el otro trata de escapar, Ekky se puso detras y le daño los alerones de profundidad.
Manteniendose detras de él, Ekky se comunica con radio con el piloto (que es Ciro D. Fox, personaje de *DingoPatagonico )y lo convence para que vuelva a su base

I worked hard to get this thing done right... and had to fight with a failure that made half of the lineart become red XD
And most of the time I spent, was for shadingo... I wanted to depict it as the real thing was, so I worked with high-resolution pics, 3D pics and big plastic models boxart... :3

Ziblink In reply to PatchKatz [2008-08-17 08:46:06 +0000 UTC]

My friend Scr once had a comic about a captured soldier who had no designation and thus could be killed at any time. It was quite amusing.

You'd think Ameria would kill the murderer, but I guess she's not the most logical of foxes. But it really does annoy me how 'minor' characters can die left and right. Ever hear the saying 'Death by Newbury medal'? It's the term for when a writer kills a character to let everyone know things are serious. Y'know how it is. I guess it's my family history that gets me this way, but I do so hate writers.

:\rant

PatchKatz In reply to Ziblink [2008-08-17 16:22:42 +0000 UTC]

I've heard of the term, but never knew what it was exactly...

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

Ziblink In reply to PatchKatz [2008-08-18 09:35:47 +0000 UTC]

Other terms are 'The Redshirt army' which is all the other nameless fighters that get killed off easy, 'Redshirt' for a disposable good character, and 'Mook' for a disposable bad character. In war you often see also 'Throwaway country' or 'Throwaway city' which are distant(ish) places that get blown up, bombed, invaded, etc to show that the bad guys are serious, then never mentioned again.

Fanfic and even television use these terms, it is an interesting subject to study.
