Daaaamn! This is FANTASTIC!!

Thank you!

Ohhh nice ^^ Lovely Fighting Falcon :)

They are very nice looking planes! Probably what the average person thinks of when you tell them to imagine a fighter jet.

I'm more old School ^^ like Tomcat, Fishbed, Crusader or Mirage 3 :=)

I prefer smooth looking F-16 and Su-27 over F-15 or F-18. The lines are just... beautiful...
My personal favorite is the Gripen, Rafael and Su-27 are close contenders.

I'm rather partial to the F-86 myself. Gorgeous bird. Flew amazingly.

It's always neat to see people looking after machinery and taking care of it :)
I like how you did the light colors and the different intensities are really on point.

Thank you very very much! And yeah it was a fun angle for the commission. It's always fun if people provide something that isn't the very obvious thing someone imagines. Like in the case with planes of a picture with the character being the pilot of it.

Gotta love the Viper.

LOVE it! Outstanding work for this one. And thanks for bringing some love to the falcon keepers :D

:D Hah and thank you as well for taking the time to comment!

Freaking noisy lawn darts. :P

Fantastic work though. Hit on a lot of nice details, though where is that airman’s steeltoes? :P

Psh, the never ending furry debate. Shoes, no shoes, open shoes, shoes on head, closed shoes? We'll never find an answer everyone's happy with even though clearly shoes on head is the right one.

Yeah, I was in a... Lets call it a lively discussion years ago about anthromorphic ergonomics and I think the shoe-on-head solution probably would of had the most support by the end of it XD

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vFldBVWFgWo is what comes to my mind when you say that hahahahaa

There we go, i knew there'd be support for it!

My breakdown:

Plantigrade? Normal footwear no structural difference to account for.

Digitigrade - Paws? Bare, except where protection is necessary, given they're so structurally different.

Digitigrade - Hooves? Nothing necessary. Hooves are tough shit.

Digitigrade - Other? How do you even begin to come up with steelcaps for a raptor's foot?!

I’d say hooves are tougher. I’ve had to deal with enough split hooves on horses to know they’ll still give and require protection. I mean, horseshoes exist for a reason. :)

Ye but horses have a knack for stepping on things that we know better than to step on. You'd think an anthro horse would also avoid stepping on those things. They'd also be bearing a LOT less weight as well, which would help avoid damage.

I 'spose they could wear horseshoes if they wanted, but it wouldn't really be visible unless the angle and pose were just so.

Damn Nomax you really outdid yourself with this beautiful detail of that jet. Fantastic work!

Thank you very much:)

As a techie, I admire the details on the environment and actual tasks the wolf is doing. Finally some real maintenance!
And the colors, the shade, the atmosphere... It's totally that.
And look at these details on the landing gears, just wow...
Truly a masterpiece, thank you for sharing it with us !

Thank you very much. Yeah pictures like that are always a fun opportunity to actually learn a little bit. I mean i don't exactly know how f-16 maintnenace works or anything like that, but hey i learned where some of the maintenance panels are and that's pretty neat in how they fold down and how it's packaged in there.

OMG Nomax - this is simply brilliant...

V.

Yes it is!

Thank you very much :D

I know that simply hitting the "like" or "fav" button is pretty meaningless, and I've always tried to make up for my lack of more worthwhile involvement by leaving a thoughtful and appreciative comment about what I'm seeing, why I chose to include it in my own fav gallery, and the feelings and the story that I find in it.

This time I have nothing to contribute even in that line...but that doesn't mean I'm not still hitting that "fav" button. Sorry! ;)

Hah, it is very very much appreciated that you took that time :) Thank you!

❤️

really cool!

Thanks!

The details is just lovely...
Very accurate F-16 too!

Thank you very much

Thanks!

Lovely work on the flight line!

Thank you :)

Absolutely amazing! <3

:D Thanks!

This is awesome! Just joined the Air Force late last year and currently training to work on the F-16 as a crew chief. I love the the attention to detail in this.

Thank you very much :) Glad you approve!

This is amaaaaaazing!
You did a fantastic job on the aircraft details, considering I could identify what it was without even noticing the ones in the background or reading tags.
Even as a mechanic in a totally unrelated field I gotta love this one.

Thank you very very much! And yeah it's always very fun to figure things out for commissions like this one.

This is SO well done!

Thank you :)

I should ping you for a plane comm! But with a twist...plane smaller than the fluff flying it~. Would be pretty neat I think, and a nice lighthearted scene to boot.

Hah, not sure if i'm really the one for a scene like that. I don't really work well with comical scenes.

Wouldn't really be comical, more just relaxing, chillin'. Not too different from some of the book reading scenes you've done so well on!

Couple clips from my flying this afternoon~. It's relaxing, it's fun, it's a great way to make friends. Would make a pretty neat pic with the right fluffs I think, and I have a couple fluffs with a penchant for it besides. Just need to get that pesky debit card to play ball...maybe if I bought less airplanes haha

Ohhh that kind of small plane, yeah that makes more sense then :D

Yep. And depending on which fluff it is, they might be holding some vintage radio gear. Chrome, art deco accents, long antenna poked out...mmmnnn. Hehe. One of the two I have in mind lives in more or less modern times, the other is Courier Six.

Mind's eye has a pic from behind, fluff standing there behind the safety fence, plane's doing a low pass over the runway banked about 20 degrees towards the pilot/viewer.

Viperwolf :3

Gotta make sure she fly well

Very much so!

Excellent work & awesome details.
Thank you, Nomax.

Thank you :)

Ooooooooooooooooooooooo, nice viper! Absolutely love it!

Thank you very much

As a former military flightline avionics tech, I highly approve :} Well done sir.

:D Thank you!

This is spectacular. Aircraft are difficult, because of the slippery proportions. Your lighting and surfacing is amazing. Well done. (I usually behave to make an3D model of the plane to get the camera and proportions correct. ) Amazing.

There was 3D involved here as well, you do what you gotta do to make the best picture possible :)

The coolest airplane.

Just. Wow.... :O

Ah the ol' Falcon. I lived by an airbase in Arizona and these things were about as common as sparrows.

Not my favorite place admittedly but a good one.

Hey! I work on that plane!
Great work with the details such as the blade in the duct and the ribbons flapping in the wind.

Thank you very much

amazing as always

This is badass! I never know how one scales these things. I always seem to get it wrong when comparing the size of vehicles (especially military) to the average sized person.

Yeah it's hard to get right, especially tricky as with furs you also have that third leg element when they're digitigrade, so that also throws the whole sense of scale out of the window (depending on how you draw them, but at least in my case it does where i tend to overall make the legs longer).
Just gotta try and find those landmarks in reference photos to see where a human reaches standing next to it. In this case the character is actually too small (or the plane to big i guess) as he'd easily reach the height of the wing when standing up judging by pictures, but i didn't really liked more hunched-over poses so i adjusted it to get a more interesting pose in.
