My rocket! I did not know chemistry that much, so the letter symbol things are not perfect. It is a Hydrogen fueled rocket though.

It is also not the most realistic

A rocket motor without any good information.

Another one:

My funny little stupid invention:

Not bad mate. Some ideas: in your first design the Hydrogen tank (H₂) should be about twice as big as the Oxygen tank (0₂), and if you want to be fancy you could add in the He tanks they'd need for pressure compensation. No criticism, just ideas.

Thanks alot. I learned an entire chemistry lesson from your few sentences!

Hahah, nice! The explanation for the bigger Hydrogen tank is simple enough, as you need two Hydrogen atoms per one Oxygen atom for the famous reaction:     2 H₂ + O₂ -> 2 H₂O

Hydrogen and Oxygen molecules are always H2 and O2, the single atoms are very reactive and would react with anything in reach, however they are quite happy to "react" with another sibling to form the stable H2 or O2 molecules.

Helium on the other hand, which is a noble gas, is quite happy with itself and stays single atom.

Thats enough for today

Thanks a kabillion! I learned quite a bit today!

Doesn't Atlas have an outside pipe like that?

Also Blue Origin use a ring-fin at the top of their first stage for stabilising on the way back.  One would work at the hot end for going up just as well if it had the required amount of wing area.

 

.....I should paste a drawing seeing as this is the drawings thread.

Yes, Atlas does have an outside pipe like that, it is for transferring the propellant from the upper tank to the combustion chamber of the engine.

I did not choose for ring/grid/stabilization fins because i did not know how the would work back then, i used add in small nozzles facing different directions for steering instead of gimbals and fins, the work a little bit like Reaction Control Thrusters.

mumble quality something artwork mumble

[HazelPine]

It reeks of quality. Good job!

Found some old photos of paintings and stuff I did over twenty-five years ago.  Forgive the quality - cheap cameras.

Painted on the inside of the hangar doors when I was stationed at Cannon AFB, New Mexico (19 feet x 33 feet).  The original image was an 8x10 photo which I traced and applied a grid over.  The grid was scaled up, and I just filled in the matching squares on the doors.  Paint used was the same paint used to paint the actual aircraft (no worries about color-matching there  ).  Highlights and shadows were just white and black spray paint, as were the clouds.

 

On the wall of the office I worked out of (same place).  Paints were model paints, hand-brushed for the base colors and airbrushed shadows and highlights:

 

Closer shot:

 

Commission to paint this for our squadron commander who was leaving.  Looks the same as the previous painting, but look closer.  The above has four GBU-24's, whereas this one has two, and two AIM-9 Sidewinders.  Original image used for reference for both was the same, though.  I was a weapons loader in the AF, so I had plenty of up close references (as in reach out and touch) for the weapons:

 

Another commission from a fellow weapons troop who had worked on F-106's:

 

Logo for a classic rock/metal cover band made up of Air Force members.  Font is based on a font designed by fantasy artist Rodney Matthews, and some "chrome" inspiration from Roger Dean:

These are amazing.  Post more!  Are you still painting murals like these?

 

 

I coloured this a few days ago but drew the pencil version around a month ago.

Sorry for double post if it doesn't merge, but those are great! love them!

[MaxxQ]

@Kokoro Thanks.  I don't do murals like those anymore.  In fact, those were the last time I did anything like that.  Last time I used an airbrush, too.  A year or so after I did those, I did a drawing of my daughter, and after that, I haven't drawn anything until the drawing of Janis Joplin I posted earlier in this thread.  So, roughly 25 years between the drawing of my daughter and Janis.

@legoclone09 Thanks.

Look at this, it is for my upcoming (and hopefully succesfull) story New Earth

[Kokoro]

My Christmas card drawing last year.  She was also the background for my advent calender.  I am probably going to do an angel this year if I can finish the one I am working on without losing enthusiasm after 10 minutes of work.  Website page: http://loli.kokorolibrary.net/?picture=412

Something just leaked out of my secret story!

Another leak:

Even the backround has a story. (-:

[Kokoro]

Today I updated an Angel I drew in June 2011, however her head was actually removed from a previous drawing I scrapped in July 2010: https://goo.gl/photos/6HSRLrGqab3PTvc99

I would have liked to have recorded a video of me updating her but I haven't been very well today so I didn't.

I didn't want to look stupid by double posting but no-one else has posted here so I have decided to post anyway.  What's the worst that can happen?  Or so my counsellor says.

This is the finished Christmas drawing I was working on mentioned a few posts previously.  She is available on a Christmas card on Etsy: https://www.etsy.com/uk/listing/494117767/angel-christmas-card as well as being the background to my advent calendar on my website.
