A Bomb

To me for what it's worth, I think it looks fantastic. great job Rik, I really enjoy your work

[James Allen]

the bigger challenge for me was to get the shine that goes along the top half of the bomb (not the white reflections that can easily be seen).

Well, you're a fast learner Rik, so you'll have it mastered in no time.

Perhaps this graphic will explain my point better.

Thanks for your kind comments Merv.

Hi James.

If you take the bomb and the fuse and flip it vertically, then I cannot get the fuse to show as a reflection on the floor considering where the bottom of the drawing finishes.

I could say that the smudge (as you call it) is maybe a bit high up but that was my reason for putting that on the drawing as I could not get the reflection of the fuse into the drawing.

Rik, I think you used your artistic License beautifully

Good points Rik – the reflection would have to be shiny, but as you say, it’s been cropped too high for that. This is a great case of where you just leave the reflection out. Well, that and the light coming at the bomb from the left lighting up the shiny floor takes care of the tune up. You want I should look at the brakes and shocks while I still got it up on the hoist?

I like your humour Alan.

Thanks Merv. Once I had decided that I liked it on a dark backfround, then things got interesting!

That's the best looking bomb I've ever seen, the reflections are great.
