Hornet Evades Determined Attacker (November 24, 2015)

[ChrisReid]

NinjaLA has another nice starry nighttime sketch. This one features a Hornet light fighter evading laser blasts. It looks like the shadowy figure in hot pursuit could be the very same Dralthi that Ninja shared last month, which would be great continuity. I'm sure the nimble Hornet will be able to turn the tables and regain the upper hand though!

Fast and dirty. A Hornet gets a little more action than expected.

Nicely done as always Ninja! I like the wings on the Hornet, they have a very aggressive bent (pun intended)

I was gonna go more traditional on the wings but considering the form-factor for the sketch I went with something a little more fanciful. glad you like it though.

Great as always. Hope you don't mind me asking, do you paint the dark backgrounds by hand or use an application? Looks wonderful either way.

I like the insectoid look. makes the fighter look more like its namesake.

Nice one Ninja

I painted the entire thing digital but I use two or three brushes and just hand paint the backgrounds. I like how it looks so I stick with simple.
