Very cool digital painting, John. I've talked to some engineers working on this, and it is a very impressive machine, as is your artwork here.
John Wills replied:
Thanks Douglas... sounds like you have some good connections.. I think they're up to the C version on this craft, which is larger than the B and a drastic visual change from the A version.
