Yo Ice! Long-time fan from India here.
I wanted to challenge myself with something more dynamic than a standard profile shot, so I drew the iconic Pugachev’s Cobra Maneuver performed by the Su-30MKI. This specific scene is inspired by the climax of the movie FIGHTER.
I really focused on the shading, the wing-tip vortices, and the vertical pitch-up angle of the Flanker. I’ve already submitted this to the Google Form, but I wanted to share it with the Community Hangar as well!
Hope you like the details on the canards and the exhaust. Looking forward to the next Art Rating video!
Rate it honestly!
I’ve had the pleasure of reviewing your recent submission to our collective gallery. Looking at the composition, I would place this entry at a 5/11—a strong, capable baseline that shows a clear understanding of the fundamentals.
I’m truly looking forward to seeing how you refine your technical execution and artistic voice as we navigate the 2026 calendar together. You have a great eye, and I’m excited to watch your work evolve toward even higher altitudes.
To golden sunsets and butter landings,
