Description
Hello here I depicted an RQ4 Global Hawk intelligence drone designed by Northrop Grumman. I created a paint scheme of what I think the RQ4 Global Hawk would look like if it were assigned to Homeland Security for the United States.
The Northrop Grumman RQ-4 Global Hawk is an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) surveillance aircraft. It was initially designed by Ryan Aeronautical (now part of Northrop Grumman), and known as Tier II+ during development. In role and operational design, the Global Hawk is similar to the Lockheed U-2. The RQ-4 provides a broad overview and systematic surveillance using high resolution synthetic aperture radar (SAR) and long-range electro-optical/infrared (EO/IR) sensors with long loiter times over target areas. It can survey as much as 40,000 square miles (100,000 km2) of terrain a day.

Thanks so much to the buyer in Cincinnati of that huge acrylic! Hope you enjoy it for many many years.

Very cool digital painting, John. I think your idea of a paint scheme on this would look great. With the very long wingspan of this aircraft, I know it is hard to show the entire wing, and I like how you "solved" that problem.
John Wills replied:
Thanks Douglas! You're right, the wings are extremely long, and there's almost no bowing to speak of, it's an incredible wing design. For this piece the wings were not crucial to show in their entirety. I loved the fuselage shape and wanted that to be the focal point. Now I want to draw more drones!
