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

Those old plane models are really cool to look at. You'll really see how it progressed from that to what we have now.
(Though I think all airplanes are flying coffins. Ships are .. Sailing coffins? ^^U)

A Hansa Brandenburg D.1. I too like the unusual design of the airplane. It's always been one of my favorites from the period. I like your depiction.

Excellent painting, describes well the fierce nature of aerial WWI dogfights. Dramatism is what I always value in pictures.

This is a really nice painting, I find the two world wars fascinating, and, this is a really great depiction of the battle between the Italian and the Austria-Hungarian fighter pilots. Great job!

It looks rather very blurry than speed-ish at certain areas, but apart from that, this is a most excellent piece.

I like very much the dynamic view and the movement of the whole, it's like if I was in the plane XD The colors are nice too.
I have any critics, the perspective is very good.

I really like this one. The colours go nicely with the war theme and the perspective adds a lot to the feeling of motion and action. That's a very nice plane model indeed!

Wow. I had to duck to let the aircraft pass when I opened up the page....

This is such stellar piece of work that if you told me that the facts of the plane and the time and the place were all false, I'd still like it, and that is saying a lot, coming from me. I so hate it when artist don't even try to get just the basics right about simple things or everyday objects; [link] is a case in point. But here Radojavor has gone the extra mile to get the facts right, the lighting just so, and the correct boat in the harbor! The shell casings, please?! That is just an attention to detail that puts the icing on the cake, and makes it that much more enjoyable to look at. There should be an award for getting so much right, so often ...

love the way this picture feels. You can feel the action and movement and you also picked a very strange which is an interesting subject to look at. It's not simply a plane it is a moving scene. Your art is always stunning.
