John’s artwork involves the creation of accurate 3D models representing the subject aircraft and scenery environments.  These are not photographs to which simple filters were later applied and then called “art”.  Everything is created by hand in a 3D environment.

Great time and care is taken to create an accurate model of the aircraft based on conversations with those who either flew or maintained them, blueprints, technical drawings, archival photos, and images taken during John’s many “field trips” to museums for research.  2D texturing of the aircraft follows using authentic markings and insignias.  Once completed, work then begins on background scenery or a general profile layout.

John accepts commissions for new artwork.  If you’re interested in commissioning artwork, please contact John via his Facebook page or email him.
