Description
As promised, one interesting wwI plane. I paint it because I really like the unusual design. Its an austria-hungarian figter nicknamed Starstrutter or flying coffin
Second thing is that Im coming from the same city as the pilot of this plane. He was the best pilot from hungary in wwI. On the picture he is defending the port on adriatic against Italian bombers.
Technically, I had a 3d model done by my friend which was used for basic perspective. Rest is painting in photoshop with a big help from custrom brushes done by other frined. But generally I went to sligtly different and more dramatic style. So dont know if it was succesfull, you can tell me how you like it. Or dislike

Woah, impressive paintwork! That is an unusual plane indeed, especially as for gun placement 0.o
Are those torpedo nets, next to the ship?

Quite wonderful! How could I possibly dislike it?
It is indeed a very interesting WWI design, especially the machine gun housing over the wing. Although I would have seconds thoughts about getting on a plane known as "The Flying Coffin" 
Also, if your friend has a DA account, you should add his profile page in the credits for the piece. I would like to see the original 3D render he made.

Oh! There's a ship at the bottom! I love how it took me like 3 minutes to see that. This is awesome, as usual

Fantastic artwork! I love the technique you used - the whole thing has a very retro look (and I dont just mean the plane lol)

You are probably the most admirable artist I have ever come across on deviantart. Your attention to detail is absolutely astounding....I just can't get enough of it. All your works are brilliant--you never cease to amaze me with each update. I mean, every time I get an update from you, I have to tell myself, "This isn't just another picture. This is a piece of art that was created by RADOJAVOR." And I swear, I think I take about like, 30-45 minutes to just look at it all--all the details I mean, that are in every single one of your artworks. And every time I think that I found all of the details that were in each of your designs, I look at it again another day and I go, "Holy--! There are MORE details?!?" that I just simply didn't find before.
Anyway, I'm rambling. Suffice to say, you are an A-MAZING artist, and I am ever-so-grateful to have found you and your works

It's interesting. Definitely different from your usual work, but I can still see your style in it, so that's good. I like the angel/perspective, but I miss your usual attention to great detail. Still, the colours and contrasts are good, as always. ^_^

very well designed picture, I didn't know austria had such intuitive designed planes in WWI though flying coffin does do it justice

This painting is awe- inspiring in so many respects 
It's amazing how well this work combines realism and awe
If you don't mind me saying so, though, one thing I find a bit strange is the perspective of the ground level
In general, the painting is excellent- it captures the dramatic atmosphere of a battle while keeping more than enough of details to stun an onlooker

I love the attention to the scene at the bottom, it really adds a lot to the perspective!

I just...can't say a word. It's great, spectacular, incredible details, and perspective (distances are almost measurable). I most like looking down on the ship from the plane's wheel point of view, really feels like flying and looking down

wow, this is epic. the design for the german fighter is really out of this world. very cool
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
Very cool! And you've given me a new plane to learn about... I've recently become a lot more fascinated by the old WWI-era fighters, partly because they're just damn dangerous by nature... seems you were lucky to survive just flying one, much less fighting in one.

wooooooow
awersome you work, I liked very much.....
a question, that difference (symbol) had austrian-hungrarian pilot with german pilot, because at first sigth thought it was a German hunting.
I hope, understand my question...
