There be an awesome story behind this I'm sure

I can assure you of two things;
1. there is.
2. it involves thermonuclear pies.

Awesome

you can pick out some elements of it in the pic, and see more of this arc later on :]
Thanks!

Kimd of hoping the orange-ish red stuff im seeing on that tarmat is rust instead of blood like im thinking :s
With it being post-apoc though, i wouldnt be surprised of anything other than

The amount of detail in this is incredible!

Isn't it a plane fuel? I'm not an expert though

it's red dirt, like you can get in Australia :]
Cheers!

Drat. I thought it was Hydraulic Oil stain, from the landing gear

there is some of that in there too :]

My god, this is impressive!
All the machinery, the lighting and all the other small details i keep on finding. Im really blown away honestly.
You dont post as often as others, but when you do you always floor me^^.

Thanks it kept me busy for a while for sure!
I would like to get more art done, just had a bunch of other stuff to do in my free time :I

what Lucaloo said!

Absolutely amazing!

Stunning. The only word that can be used.

holy shit...

Post-apocalypse and furries is one of my favourite topics always, so I simply have to like this one, especially given how gorgeous it is. :3

It's a fun setting to play with, and means you get to go a bit Macgyver with things :]
Thank you so much!

Wow this is AMAZING !

Holy. Crap. This is freaking awesome.

Changing that tire is gonna be a BITCH...

Dude! Holy crap you nailed it with this one. Also... ARGH! IMPULSE TO FIX PLANE IS OVERPOWERING >:E

think you would be better off using it to create new things!

Good freaking god all of this detail @.@ You're phenomenal.

Very cool man, would love a story to go with this pic!

I'm not much of a writer, just think of a rad road trip you've had and where you haven't really planned anything for it :V
FighterJet is working on a piece in the same timeline too!

Woah!

A TOMMY GUN! IN A POST APOCALYPTIC WORLD. Yes

Hey, you finished it! Looks great, Stu. :D

best ever
i cant get over how amazing this looks dude, the details are NUTS

Gorgeous, highly detailed as always, Stu! I'm particularly impressed with the landing gear and the post-apocalyptic version of the saw :) Judging by strange-fox's most recent pic, I guess you're all in a post-apocalyptic mood, aye? :D

Chur Raf! it was sweet painting this variant of the saw all weathered up and patched with limited resources :]
the two of us kinda bullied him into doing one, maybe do another one further down the line with them!

Super stuff all round and great ;painting, I like the atmosphere in the image to, the dustiness and climate you've captured.

Thanks Pizzacat! been meaning to do something with a large outdoor environment with some of that red dust you get over there :]

Excuse me while I die from the gorgeousness of this. <3

Wow, this is amazing on so many levels! o: Looks fantastic! Hm, looks like a 767, too. :P

Cheers Tim!
it's based off a DC-10, a bit hard to tell since you can't see it's iconic rear tail engine from this angle

Seriously great stuff.

So fly! Crazy amount of details.

hope those two guys come across any gaint mechs to salvage, just my wish

it would be their dream come true if they did!

I can't even begin to imagine how long this actually took or the process of getting it done. I really wish I could see something of this magnitude getting created from start to finish

pretty much the same process as the foreign dinner process posted in my scraps, started from a sketch and then kept building top.
I could do one for this one, just not sure if it would explain anything different from that one :0

Yellow on a poles - Foam?

deflated emergency escape slides/rafts.

horry shizz this came out epicly

Amazing!

Awesome work mr! :) now come play squash :P good to see some new art! ^_^

I so miss playing squash with ya and would love for a proper rematch without me destroying myself this time!
chur bol!

You did it again, stu.
I´m proud of youuu hooneeyy

it's been a long time coming!
Chur Linni :]

Jesus dude, that looks awesome!

Thanks Dubz and good to know you made it back to the UK safely!

indeed man ^^ now it's time to make that comic happen!

So nice!!!!:333 Love it!!!!!$$&@*#-#-+#@*#&

I see the toad in the tire!

that critter gets around in my pics :]

WELL.

I suppose it's my turn to leave a comment now, hahahahahahaha.
But seriously, getting to see you work on this, both with the previews and the actual streams and being able to watch it grow and develop was a /huge/ treat and I thank you for the privilege of getting an insight into how you work and all of those stages.

The level of detail in this is just, well. I know I've already said it, but it's downright amazing and so well thought out with all of the texturing and decay- especially the wear and tear on Stu's saw; it looks like it's been legitimately used to hell and back, cutting up the wasteland like it ain't no thang. I'm really trying not to repeat anything I've already said over Skype, but just. I love how much attention you direct towards accuracy and getting everything right and believable and it really, really shows off in the final image.

This turned out really awesome, I love the dusty atmosphere and the abandoned terminal in the background[and how fantastically photo-realistic it looks] and coming up with ideas for this was a ton of fun. Here's to hoping my half will be just as awesome! =D

Thank-you soooo much for doing this for me, it really, really means a lot to me and I absolutely adore the final product. <333

YUSSS!

I really glad you like how it came out as I was worried about messing up Lux or some thing stupid like the eyes not looking the same way.
It was finally good to use those weathering texturing techniques I've been painting at work to use for a personal piece, and also applying it to the saw as well, and to the rest of the pic.

Thank you a ton for your input into this, it wouldn't probably be as solid without it, and I wouldn't have done it without your influence :]

This is just... WOW! And that's still an understatement.

Stu you are amazing!

more annoying for the road workers having to constantly fix the roads, but no need to worry in a world that doesn't have them though!

Holy crap that is a bitching picture. Freaking awesome detail! I love that giant skill saw.

Looks absolulty Brilliant!
Although whats the story behind all your buzz saws stu ?

Thanks Xingo!
it's his main form of motorised transport, and here it's been beaten, shot, and thrashed in this world while pulling along Lux's sled behind it

see you plan on starting some d.i.y. projects in the post apocalypse

Pretty damn cool! So much detail in here! I spent a while looking at this picture closely trying to find that little critter you put in all your pictures... Is it inside the broken tire?

Thanks Ashtalon! and yeap you spotted it :]

That is just really awesome ! Can I use it as a wallpaper on my desktop ?

Thanks! and go for it :]

Oh yeah, awesome ! Fit perfectly !
Great work, really :)

chur bol! was nice to do some textured hard surfaces for once

Oh man, I love the details in the plane. You're still pushing it crazy style - even if you hate painting them, the tyres came out lovely too, and all the materials and everything. Damn bro, you're an inspiration!

finally get to apply what I've learnt from texturing the past few months on that!
chur boss! and time to move onto the next :V

Brilliant detalis! Great job!

Surprised that landing gear is still holding up.

Seen a few crash photos where one landing gear has given out, and the other is fine.
All depends what caused the failure

This is just impressive....

Mindblowing. Stunning. Imaginative. Detailed.
But most importantly...
...a breath of fresh air... xD

Thanks! it was nice doing something outdoorsy :]

Now there's your problem.


Xcellent arts Bro! Ans in, FKN amazing@! <3 the detail.

saw don't provide enough grip to go forward :V

Cheers crazy!

wow the sheer amount of brilliance in the details!

You boggle my mind! The light, the perspective, the sense of volume and scale to everything. HOW?!

I can say the same with your detailed brush strokes!
with me lots of pushing and fudging things around till I get it right :0
Thank you so much Balaa :]

And here I thought he was taking a K12 saw and cutting off the steel belts of the tire to try and take off without it, or replace it. Very interesting art.

those are rad saws! and this is a unconventional use for one for sure :]

field expedient emergency measures

WOW
This is ab-so-lutely STUNNING

Thanks Dwuddddds!

Holyshit Stu! This is off the chart!

Thanks!

Incredible stuff!

thanks!

*Nods*

Awesome work! I like the lazy salvage op feel to it.

it's a fun setting to draw!
Cheers :]

Pavement saw? Hm... so much stuff you can build with that engine

building and moving from place to place!

Simply amazing

Thank you Cuson!

holy crap, looks like a photo!
Amazing

Cheers Zenkhai!

Dat landing gear leg and trunnion.

Cheers! drawing mechanical parts is hella fun!

Wow thats really awesome !!

Chur!

Um what are those 2 yellow things in the background? Are they legs of a person?

Love this picture! awesomely done! Spotted the Thompson, M1A1 model with a long box magazine. Able to hold rounds of ammo, a very nice choice of a gun!

Those are the inflatable escape slide on planes.
That was FighterJet's choice of weapon for their character, and I agree it's an awesome choice!

Thanks!

Ok, thank you.
What got left out was "hold 30 rounds of ammo"

Your welcome.

I thought I 've seen this in DA! I really like the settings in this piece. Sitting under a shade (not to mention its under a warplane!), chilling. I like the entire concept of the art, really!

Thank you so much for the complements! It was a fun setting and environment to paint up. Took sometime to do this but it was a good exercise :]

incredible work!

cheers!

Love to see your process sometime.

watching it in real time is a bit of a bore since I paint so slowly, but there are animated gifs and step by steps in my scraps!
