F-15 Eagle - 40 años reinando en los cielos

 El F-15 Eagle es quizás el mejor avión de combate del mundo. Aún después de 40 años de su primer vuelo sigue siendo producido y tiene el potencial para trabajar muchos años más.

Para celebrar el primer vuelo del Eagle (Julio 27 de 1972) decidí hacer un sencillo wallpaper en onda minimalista.

Hecho con Corel para vectorizar la silueta del avión (la cual está inspirada en el logo original del Eagle creado por MacDonnell Douglas), y con photoshop para todo lo demás.

Color en Photoshop

Este es mi más reciente coloreado en Photoshop. Lo hice esta semana. El lineart es de ryoko-san18, y me gustó tanto que me pareció que valía la pena intentarlo.

Not because it's easy, but because it's difficult

Sometimes I'm asked why I make so different things (paper crafts, prismacolor, digital colour, watercolours, linearts etc.) and do not concentrate on one in particular and excel in that.

The answer is: I just can't. ^^¡ I love to do all that when time permits. Sometimes I'm in the mood to make watercolours or prismacolors, and some other days I prefer to think on gouache or have something digitally coloured. Papercrafts are also always in the queue.

I love to do all that and to experiment the different mediums not because it's easy, but because it's difficult for me. I was never trained or raised in an artistic environment, and thus using pens, brushes and all that is a completely unknown world for me.

But however difficult those things are for me, I really love to taste them all because I learn a lot in every piece, every process teaches me something new, and because it always tests my own skills. Even if I'm not an "artist" or master a given technique (and my deviations will always lack something in a way), at the end all those pieces relax me and offer me a time and a place far from the stress of normal life.

The last couple of days I embarked on another unusual project: a moogle plushie. It is finished and waiting for her Lulu to take him home. You can see it here: http://rubenandres77.deviantart.com/art/Moogle-plushie-141342260

I think that's all for today. Take care!
