People profiles???

Something looks odd about the planking on that bird!

The planking looks fine to me. I only know about Kestrels and Harriers so everything else looks the same to me, however I can assure you it's not a European Shag

[BLOWHARD]

A Norwegian Blue perhaps?

The ring on the leg shows it's a replica. Not an actual Albatros.

ahahaahahhahah!!!!!!!!

A little update, little considering that's about 12 hours of work and research there

I can't wait to see what this will look like with his Albatros behind him!

Your skill-set never ceases to amaze!

I could be chained to my desk for a month with somebody pointing a gun at my head and could never achieve this kind of work.

A mans got to know his limitations.

Make it 90?

Who says no guns or chains were involved?

Thanks GFR, I was just thinking similar thoughts about your latest P-51!
As far as the level of my portrait, it's better than I expected but less than I hoped for. I think it will take a few more tries before I can perfect people painting on the computer

Perhaps it is a Boobie instead? Many people confuse the type.

Believe me, I never confuse boobies with anything else. Not that anything is wrong with that, it's just not my thing.

Yeah, I'm still working on this overly fussy time waster.
One sleeve almost done...

I have all the leather coat pieces cut out and embossed. Now I'm adding shadow and highlight layers as well as burning and dodging the leather textures. Once I've got it worked up I'll blend parts of the leather better and rework some of the outline; right now they're still separate pieces.
I feel like a tailor!

Oh, man... This work is so time consuming... I can't imagine how many aircraft profiles you would do meanwhile instead...

Jokes aside, it's marvelous. The only thing I'm not sure is the look (or the color) of the leather flying coat...
So far it looks more like a modern sheepskin coat...

Isn't it supposed to be a leather coat (or jacket is a better word) something like this:

It's an RFC trophy flight jacket, like this one:
