Felt like making a sort of sad edit today. This pic features a once-proud and mighty MiG-19, now obsolete, forgotten, and left to rust in the sun.



Comments appreciated!

Wow! thats pretty good! Could use a bit more weathering around the front though.

The contrast between the middleground and background is kind of dull. I'd suggest putting sky in or something.

Other than that, looks great.

After reading the critiques, I went ahead and made a few improvements. I've added a sky, upped the contrast a bit, added some more weathering and shadows, and a few other details to make it a bit more realistic. Also, look closely and you'll see that the MiG is not so abandoned anymore.



As always, comments appreciated.

Ah thats looking good Lazer! I like the birdy and he's... giving me the bird... Well apart from that rude bird I like it! The original didn't seem like it was actually resting on the ground... but you nailed it in the 2nd!  ;)

That still looks flyable...

Abandoned wrecks are
1: parked in the sand and not on the tarmac
2: in need of wooden blocks to keep the gear from collapsing
3: missing some or all interesting parts (cockpit hatch)

*cough*

Anyways, compared to the first one, you're second edit looks completely different, much much better

You could, extend *ng-hey!* the engine cover and cut it *glavin!* off the MiG leaving it on the ground beside it.  ::)

i like it but my suggestions

1.more ageing e.g. rust
2.get rid of a part of the plane as suggested above

thats it,

good work

Second looks even better than the first.

Very nice, although I would agree with the sentiments of others.

Going by these pics...

...I'd say:

1. More sand
2. More weathering
3. Less shine

If you can, you could also remove the canopy.

Nice work so far though, I especially like what you've done with the shadows. They can be very tricky to get right.

Great improvement in #2! I like the bird too!  :)
