Description
Finally put my "aviator" model to use - thanks to everyone in the forums for the feedback!
The hardest part about doing this scene was the city below- I modeled a grid of buildings in wings, and then duplicated it about 13-14 times-resizing and flipping as I went-to give the allusion of a complex city, I also modeled a few skyscrapers. I'll be posting some wireframes in a little while.
Aviator modeled in wings 3d, rendered in Bryce, postwork in Photoshop.
thanks for taking a look!

whoa, It's got me jazzing for Sky Captain, Awesome image!
Aye, I like the Aviator and the city, but the clouds are very thick and wonderful! Good stuff..
Outstanding work Jordan. The city is very impressive as is the modelling of the "aviator". Awseome postwork also. Gets my vote, top job. ----- Scott.
Yah the Aviator take a lot of full LOL Stunning work..........
Very nice work - great modelling and the city looks good. From those cloud/smog it looks like you'd need a self contained breathing suit to live in that city though. Good stuff :)
Amazing scene Jordan, I hear the flight of the valkyries.
Super scene. Great modeling, setting, lighting and postwork. I like it all. smile v
Retrofantastic!

Unbelievable! V for one of your best I think!
This has to get my vote too! Outstanding. Excellent model. And I agree, the city is impressive.
Excellent work Jordan gets my vote too! ..... would make excellent adversaries for Rocket Man!!
Yeah!! This is some scene! Good work. Bravo!
The modeling is great and the image per whole is excellent!! really gives u the sense of height. one single suggestion: how bout each "aviator" having a different pose? i'd say it'd make things even more interesting :) anyway, EXCELLENT image!
Awesome work !!!
Wow, makes think of my thoughts of Starship troopers when I read the book (as opposed to the incredibly bad film)
This is fab Jordan! Love the lighting and postwork - you rock! :-D
Excellent image! Keep up the great work!

Excellent image! Love the retro look!! The city is great!! Some weird shadows to the left, but barely noticeable. An excellent composition!!
I love the mats and atmosphere in this render, outstanding work!
very well done
Excellent job! I like the clouds and the lightning, since it creates a great sense og the altitude the aviators are flying at. Excellent modelling, too. :)))
