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...

Fantastic!...question though.

 

Do you ever finish your drawings?...we always see them as a 'work in progress'...but I cannot remember seeing a fully completed one.

Looks like Puff had the perspective correct all along (right wings looking abnormally long).

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.

Puff, absolutely beautiful work Sir, my hat's off to you. You have a true talent and I would love to see your entire portfolio. Do you have it online somewhere that folks could go and appreciate it?

Thanks you so much for the kind words, unfortunately, I have'nt anywhere to view my work, they are scattered over the web lol. Hopefully, this piece will be selected for this years annual exhibition of the Guild of Aviation Artists { I'll keep my fingers crossed :) }
