Inspired by old photographs during the Second World War.

​

I wanted to show the struggle and chaos that took place over the skies of Europe in 1944.

Responsible for modeling, lighting, texturing, and composition. In collaboration with Sean Gardner.

​

The biggest challenge I had was to do all the research for all the components of the aircraft and the crew. On my honor as a history buff, I wanted to be sure on the accuracy of all the details. All the components and the way they are textured was researched to be correct for the time, place, and situation. The composition was influenced from photo records and stories I read about. But I did take some artist liberties in lighting and camera placement to make the image read in a fluent manner.
