James, I am not sure Oleg realizes what kind of artist you are. Maybe someone should point him to your work. SOW BoB with a Dietz cover would be fabulous for both of you....what do you think? Ok maybe I am dreaming, but why not?

Had no clue. I just know what I like.

I think Oleg's on the ball when it comes to aviation art. He aproached Glen Angus a while back to work on the GUI for SoW. Sadly Angus passed away before this came to be

- also notice the background splash screens shown at Igromir - they are not screen grabs. Far from it.

Glen Angus work was evocative and always impressive, it was a sad loss.

Some more of his work:

Cool art.

EDIT - Am I going nuts, or does it look like the horse has six legs?

To me it seems the GUI images are heavily edited screen-shots, not from-scratch paintings. ( all the more credit to the artist if it is actually a painting).

Must be where Cameron got his idea for the worse movie ever made.

Odins horse Sleipnir had eight legs, if you take the shadows in the background to be extra legs we may have a match.

Eight legs. Probably Sleipnir.
