from the US Navy. i converted to b&w, the did a distort - shear, to lay the wings back a little. then went to stylize - wind, which really added some movement.
thanks for looking. comments and critiques appreciated.
Harold, I think you accomplished what you set out to do. This looks like its flying thru the clouds at warp speed! I think if you added a drop shadow to the image it would stand out more from the BG.
2 GE F414 engines push 14,000 ft/lbs thrust and 22,000 ft/lbs of thrust with after burners. top speed is MACH 1.8+ or 1,190 MPH. that'll get you there! my cousin is the Super Hornet engine expert for the US. cool job!!
