Description
Hello all!This is a oil paint predominantly, with some digital enhancements.
It took 10 minutes of paintings for 6 days each day to do it. Then it was a bit bland, my mom helped me by making the sky look surreal.
I have submitted this to surreal for I am here, depicting a 'surreal state of consiousness' that some pilots experince due to enormous g forces while flying.
This F-14 is an extremely manourable, powerful and , yeh sexy aircraft of the previous century. . . its phoenix missile system was extremely deadly. And, . . . .even today, even after teh arrival of JSF and F-22 raptor, this aircraft is still a great one. . .
in a hypothetical battle where u pit a F-22 and a F-14, in BVR combat (beyond visual range), F-22 will surely win.. . . however, take it to a close range dogfight, . . . . F-14 will surely win , the raptor isnt a match . . .. and huh speak about the JSF, it doesnt even deserve to be in the frame of the TOMCAT!!!
and, . . . .
This image title "F-14 in Twilight zone" a surreal image
To depict the 'twilight' pilots may experince when flying in highly maeourable aircraft due to the extreme g-forces, the pilots may sometimes lose consiousness, enter an altered state of consiousness,, and , feel they are floating out of the aircraft, and, seeing the sky everywhere, no land, no sea. . .strange light, surreal landscapes etc. . . .usually, pilots recover spontaneously, .. .sadly there have been cases of crashes.
So, a great aircraft like the F-14 requires pilots of great calibre too!!!
History:
1) F-14 has been an important part of the US navy air arm , a replacement for the F-4 phantoms.
2) Since 3 decades. . .and, thought out of production, are still in service. . . though they are partially replaced by F-18 superhornets
Chracteristics:
1) Twin engine,
2) Wings can be made to sweep forward and backward to suit operability at high and low speeds.
3) This aircraft made Mr Tom Cruise what he is now.
Okay now, I hope u like it, if u did, then please , a

Very nice. It does look unearthly, like the aircraft passed into another dimension.

Great job! I almost thought the clouds were from a photograph, and the outlines of the F-14 look so sharp. Just stunning to capture such a moment, this shall go to my favorites
