out."
Comments:
It's a fairly simple image. The airplane hasn't got some details. The cockpit
window I created by `differencing' some Bezier Patches. That's officially not
possible, but it works! I planned to create a sunset scene, with the sun in the
camera view, but that was impossible, because the lighting got to bad.  
I'd like some feedback, 'cause it's the first time I'm participating. 
Thank you ;-).

DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED: 
I used Moray to make the airplane. I mainly used Bezier Patches to do this.
After I exported the airplane, I extensively hand-edited the source, thereby
creating the environment (real-scale ocean etc.), making the textures (all 
self-made), creating the halo's (the afterburner), and to fine-tune the image 
(cameras, lighting, position etc. of the airplane). The image-maps I created
using paintbrush, and converting with Alchemy 1.8.
