SO Just because I haven't uploaded anything for a while, even though I'm not especially thrilled with it. This started out as nothing-too-specific, but at a certain point I realised I probably needed some sort of ref if I wanted to get the look right(ish) instead of making it up (something I should probably do a bit more, sometimes), so I was working mostly from this as far as lighting and stuff goes.
A bit over an hour, PS CS4. (just to point out, as you might be able to tell I wasn't attempting to paint a realistic version of the V-22, it's more of a caricature that I felt like pulling in some different directions)
