Description Ah, the lure of a princess's ransom. Whether it was simple rumor or inside knowledge, somehow a squadron of airborne marauders must have gotten wind of who Naam has been flying around with. Spotting the squirrel's signature plane, they launch their ambush with the hopes of demanding wealth from the royal family.

Why? Because has a huge, captivating cast of characters. And now that their adventures are beginning in his comic they're only going to become more interesting as time goes on. I've been wanting to do this tribute for a while, and I hope I've done his world some justice.

Thank ya! It's 's plane. There's only a couple of sideways views of it, so I had to do a little guesswork.

It's done that for a few people, but it sounds like you're thinking of a particular scene. Which one?

OkamiJubei In reply to LaVioletta [2012-11-13 01:25:15 +0000 UTC]

Maybe from one of the first episode when Baloo have been chased by pirates.

Indeed! This turned out awesome, and I like the dynamic of seeing the other planes in the distance, very 3D

Awesomeness. I love the 1930s-style, pulp air pirates theme, everything from Sky Captain to Crimson Skies to Talespin. Great pic!

LaVioletta In reply to alphazion [2012-11-13 00:43:55 +0000 UTC]

And those are three of my favorite things, so it's easy to see why the infatuation with Naam and her plane. Thanks for the kind words.

MY WORD!!! I didn't see that coming!!! Just... simply... WOW. I dunno what to say, I just loved how Kal and Naam came up in your traces, and as well your effects of distance, shadows, movement... well, the whole package of techinques.

Really, sorella, I dunno what to say apart from a million of thanks!! It made my weekend!

See? Surprises are fun! I'm beyond happy to know that you like the picture. I had to do some guessing on things like the plane's full construction, but it looks like you like what I came up with for this. Doing it was my pleasure, fratello. Fun to draw an action scene like this, too. I'm just happy that you like it.

I don't know why, but this reminds me very much of the classic Tailspin cartoon series. I'm guessing it's possibly the anthro characters, for the 30's/40's Art Deco styling. I do like how you've applied different levels of shading for the background, which helps draws attention to the planes in the foreground.

Good to have you back mi'lady ^^

LaVioletta In reply to FireflyOfSerenity [2012-11-10 22:33:56 +0000 UTC]

Oh, it did the same for me. All while drawing it I'd catch myself thinking about TaleSpin now and then. But, hey, if I captured that feel then I'll say this was a great success! Thanks for the kind words, ragazzo. It's always encouraging to be welcomed back.
