Description

This piece was intended for the Buck Danny comic series. It was digitally drawn and light boxed on paper for detailed pencils. Inks are by ink brush and markers. The precise, detailed inks are impressive.

Buck Danny is a Franco-Belgian comics series about a military flying ace and his two sidekicks serving in the US Navy or Air Force, according to Wikipedia. The series is well known for its accurate drawings of US aircraft and realistic descriptions of US operating procedures. Begun in 1947, the ongoing series takes the character up to the present in its stories.

The plane is a US Navy F4F Wildcat from World War II. Although the Navy�s principal fighter in the Pacific during the first years of the war, the Japanese Zero had better maneuverability, speed, and climb. The superior F6F Hellcat and F4U Corsair, whose performance was comparable to the Zero's, began replacing the Wildcat in 1943.

Especially neat is that thin long wire done here in black and white from cockpit to tail that picks up VHF frequencies.

I've never heard of Di Luca but he sure is great. Wonderful brush work creating the folds in the fabric and also really great in rendering the plane!

Thanks Ruben! I really like that the anatomy is great. How well hands are drawn is a big deal for me. Thank you for having me on your show. It was fun!
