More NationStates stuff. Yay!

...The Miloyev-Gragonavich MiG-99, an updated version of the MiG-85 is one of the most successful aircraft manufactured by Zedoljev, serving in dozens of air forces across the region...yaddayaddayadda

The style is very much inspired by *WS-Clave's brilliant technical drawings of aircraft and other military stuff. This also follows up my previous technical drawing of a Zedoljan "Kalashnikov" - the issue of the name stems back to the early days of our NS playing that, even though our particular region was in a non-real world setting, we kept using real-world terms and names with complete abandon. So, later on when it came to creating detailed factbooks about our countries and militaries, to balance it out rather than complete retcon it, all the "MiGs" we mentioned were hence forth (I decided) not real-world MiGs and were in fact built by a company not called Mikoyan-Gurevich but Mikolyev-Gragonavich (see what I did there!?!)

That's awesome Doug! :thumbsup: The details are really good!
Great technical drawings! I love the one with the shark on it. :aww:

Stupid question: why does the fourth one have the Scottish flag on it? :-?

This is so sharp it should be considered as the definitive answer to the five o'clock shadow. :D I also like the design, "the same but different" from existing plains, you'd see in Russian vs. Western plain designs.

Looks like it came right out of a military-plane illustration book. :thumbsup:

Yes, I see what you did there. Go you! :laughing:

Thank you :dance:

Scottish flag...well for all my talk about the wrongs of using real-world references in a fantasy world - well even I "recycled" some real-world flags. Uudestaan - despite being a Finnish-themed nation, has the Saltire, because I love it to bits and wanted to use it :love:
(*swells up with patriotic mucus* =P )

Aluda's flag - the top left one - is essentiall the Qatari flag. You have to chose a flag to begin with on NationStates, I chose Qatar and never got round to replacing it - I quite like it actually. =P

Sweet!
Cheers very much! :D
:iconzedderzulu:
