flight mode concept



more to come

Pretty nice. Ever thought of recreating some Capellan fighter/bomber? After such classics as Sulla, of course.

[Sneaky B]

I'll think about it

I want to keep my planes realistic and simple

Love it - reminds me of the F-22 Raptor

[Sneaky B]

Actually, it's the love child of a threesome of my favorite planes... YF-23, MiG-29, PAK-FA

OP what media did you use to draw that pic?

[Sneaky B]

I drew it directly with my tablet and mouse using inkscape

Looks real nice. A lttle too curvy maybe. Curious to see the mech form. Means i gotta go dust of my spider lam now.

[Sneaky B]

Not sure how it'll manage to fly without being curvy

unless I go for something F-117-ish

thought I'd go for something different. Turn it into a sleeker version of the vulture

F117, F14, F4, etc. Not saying without any curves, just that your jet, while killer looking, has so many curves, and is so slleek, there really isnt any internal room. So either its gonna look like kate moss as a mech, or have to trnsform like one of Michael Bays transformer with a jillion shifting parts. You kinda see the same with the Valkyrie from Macross 7 (i think) where the fighter mode is based off the f18, and loo,s gorgeous, but then the mecha mode is just too skinny looking.

I do like the non humanoid mecha idea though.

I guess I'm too much of a fan of Simonov's style

I'll try to incorporate "blocky F-15SE conformal fast bays" for the arms and hexagonify it

As for the F-14... I'm trying to stay away from it for unseen reasons

Very good idea, as rumor has it those Harmony Gold people are a bit touchy.
