Since I have started playing with Victoria 4.2 I have started looking at ladies dresses and how they hang and flow. I never realised that 3D dresses could be so expensive so Xara to the rescue. There was some post render work to do on the face and a modesty veil to draw and of course more shadow work. Not to forget Xara bubbles...
I posted two more pictures on the 3D page they also had post render work done in Xara so I was a bit confused as to which page to put them on...

It wouldn't win any beauty contests with it's 66 ft. wingspan, fixed landing gear and boxy cockpit. The 138 was built for one reason, to set altitude records. In 1936 it flew to 49967 ft. (15230m.). In 1937 it attained 53937 ft. (16440m.). It was powered by a twin supercharged, intercooled Pegasus engine. The pilot wore a strange looking rubber pressure suit with a glass face plate that looked more suited to diving than flying. The plane is 100% vector,background mostly vector with a minor touch up in raster.

I've added the steps for this simple illustration. Starting with the 3 view drawing to create a 3D wireframe to work out the composition. If a 3 View isn't available you can draw your own. I then create the colour palette for the background which I use to keep the main subject(s) in the same tones. Last step is the vector drawing. Collecting as many photo as you can helps with the details for the drawing.

Mockingbirds live about a decade and during that time
learn roughly 200 songs, many of which are sounds they
mimic from other birds, local animals and even electronic
devices such as car alarms. While it can be enjoyable to
listen to a mockingbird sing its repertoire, just not at
4am when they seem to sing the loudest.

I've created a new art piece to enter into a contest sponsored by an anti-tobacco group. I used markers, pencils, PSE4 and Xara to create it. I'd love some feedback on it. Here's the description for it:
Sometimes, addiction to tobacco can lead a person to create his own doom. The white lily represents the grief of this man's loved ones. The wall represents the separation between life and death. The white bird is the man's soul, departing.
