Driving my lovely Stearman around the place, it's tempting to take a lot of screenshots.
I give in - frequently - and then sometimes play with the end result too.
Not sure which of these creates the best cockpit atmosphere, so here they all are, starting with a relatively unworked version

EDIT And the answer is: probably the one that has the least done to it!
Although the "pencil effect" last one is interesting I reckon.

Simply Just Cartoon it , i think my own hand could create something a little , wont be better but original . A damn good preview , the PC for you - its the imagination off freehand that will shoot that down

So we haven't seen some original artwork from you for a while...how about a nice cockpit rendering then?

By number three I'm wondering where are my reading glasses and number four begs the question - should I have had that last drink?

Not sure we needed to see all that lot quoted again!
These "arty" effects are a bit like giving a kid a loaded shotgun, eh?
It's unanimous then:
Wing Commander Warren should produce the next artistic rendering by hand.
Only requirement: no guns! (too easy)

Agree....come on Ian

Charl.....very nice....nice to see the other end of what is normally photoreal, or close too.......are you being true to your medium??....Im still thinking about that

Apologies - in the U.S. that's called a screw-up.

True to the medium? I probably don't really understand what that would mean...I did use a mouse y'know.

OK this'll make your eyes bleed then...think I'll hang this one at the local art show with a tag of $100,000 and call it "Stearman Cockpit"

Wing Commander, you better move fast, things are deteriorating here.

I really love that second pic! Any tips on how to recreate?

Alistair there's very little skill involved... I ran this lot through MS Photodraw, which has an effects pallet.
That one is called "posterize".
I assume other editing software would have an equivalent.

Cool thanks! I'll get googling. Looks awesome

Beautiful - ashes to ashes, dust to dust. RIP
