So here was my first work project. It was fairly short notice, so I only had a couple days to get it done. Those couple days measuring out to be about 10 hours or so of total work time. The project was to take the concept tank that was modeled in Solidoworks and put it on pictures of the actual aircraft making it look somewhat real. Since this is only a concept, we have no tank to show them...my suggestion was using these for the presentation giving them the next best thing.

I found some fairly decent base images of the aircraft to use and then was able to manipulate the 3d model in solid works to get a fairly accurate angle of the tank to draw. The screen shots out of solidworks showing the tank base are not the angles I used, but at least show you what I had to work with.

I do realize there are some mistakes, but considering the time frame...and comparing these to photoshopped images they had purchased before, I think they turned out pretty decent.

hope you like

Looks pretty good imo

Thanks

Wrong Section I guess, but very nice concept and idea. Good to have people in the world doing such things.

Nice luke! Didn't know you were working on this! Came out very nice! That last shot is really good! Good pay?

Yeah it was kind of last minute and initially no direction. Had to beat it out of them it felt like...but once I got started it went well. TBH the pay for this first one isn't going to be that great...I only had 3 hours work at home, the rest was done here at work. My hope is to win them over with this one and then that will set me up for all the other graphic work they want done. While I was digging through our image collection here at work I found invoices from work they contracted out in the past, and the guy was getting $40/hour so for any time spent at home on these projects, thats what I should be getting.

Looks like it gives a prettty good idea of how it will look...
Nice job.
