Well, that took forever.
This is my final composition piece for my Digital Media class this semester. I picked a G-17 in the heat of a skirmish kicking the Aeon out of a system. It’s one of the first times I’ve shown the “good guys” getting a pounding. It’s also one of the first art pieces that I’ve done that I’ve felt somewhat emotional about.
Title pretty much speaks because of the picture in the corner on the dashboard. More or less it sums up how I’ve felt at school if that picture wasn’t there; doing what you had to do and that it might benefit somebody else, but you’re by yourself in the end…
I took a lot of heavy inspiration from the modern F-22 cockpit for this, including avionics and the glass-panel look that the fighter had. Apparently my teacher was not a fan of this, preferring something more old, rugged and practical. I don’t blame him, that’s just not the IGA aesthetic of things.
Definitely sunk a number of hours on this. My tablet was still being nonsensical at the time, despite only having it a year up to now. Let’s hope I get it actually working to do what I want as time goes on, otherwise it’s just a paperweight.
