Supermarine Seafangs

The Seafang built for carrier service first flew in 1946. Powered by a 2350 hp Rolls Royce Griffin, a top speed of 475mph, twin contra- rotating props and laminar flow wings the Seafang was at the pinnacle of Spitfire design. Only two were produced and never entered service, so I'll call this a 'what if' as three fly in formation down the coast. The planes are 100% vector and the landscape is a mix of vector and raster.

Top shelf, as always. More to add to your fantastic air museum!

The whitish cliffs of Dover?

Beautiful rendering. Are the clouds rendered or did you use a photograph?

Thanks Ron, Gary.
Gary,the clouds are drawn and colour blocked in vector then finished off with raster. It takes about 1.5+ months from start to finish on an illustration like this. Here's the wireframe.
