02RAF_Puff 0 Posted January 11, 2010 Short story with the details.. I play NHL 10 on the 360 online, we have a team that play with each other against human opponents.. a new guy joined about a month ago called Charlie. His in game player was called C. Nungesser. I thought I recognised the name and asked one of the others if he was a hockey player , as I knew the name from somewhere! Well, the answer was a resounding no....when Charlie came back on I asked him { I had remembered by that time that Nungesser was a WW1 pilot } why he had named his player C Nungesser, was that after Charles Nungesser of WW1 fame? He said yes it was the WW1 pilot..and his reason...well it turns out it was his Great Uncle. Quite a character if I may add... http://www.theaerodrome.com/aces/france/nungesser.php Anyways, the latest drawing is of Great Uncle Charlie and so far Im quite happy with the way its going...

Siggi 10 Posted January 16, 2010 Looks like Puff had the perspective correct all along (right wings looking abnormally long). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
UK_Widowmaker 571 Posted January 16, 2010 Yes...perspective is everything in Art! (I know...I read it once in my 'Ladybird book of being an artist') Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
02RAF_Puff 0 Posted February 17, 2010 hi folks, been really busy upgrading my operating system to win 7 and working as much time as I can on the Charlie drawing, needless to say, it doesn't leave much time for forums etc, anyways, hope to have the drawing done by the tail end of next week.
