Illustrator and designer with an airline fetish. 🤭

@WantYouToBeFree Thank you!

It took a few days, but I finally managed to finish up my illustration of the new Emirates livery. It's a beautiful evolution of the previous design!

[Norebbo @Norebbo]

@AirlineHistory Dope illustration 👀

[Norebbo @Norebbo]

Despite how gnarly the dot-pattern gradient on the vertical stabilizer is, I only cursed *3* times while illustrating this @AirCanada A320 in the legendary Toothpaste livery. A new record for me!

[Norebbo @Norebbo]

The gradients were a mofo, but I'm happy with the way it turned out. The WestJet livery is one of the best!

[Norebbo @Norebbo]

A side by side comparison of the last 3 TWA liveries. I can't decide which one like best!

[Norebbo @Norebbo]

It's Friday and I can't focus, so I somehow ended up counting all the individual pixels in my Spirit Airlines A319 pixel livery illustration just now. There are 48 pixels in the vertical stabilizer, and 54 on the fuselage (per side). You're welcome.

Sharklets vs rakelets: which version of the Virgin America livery do you prefer?

A visual size comparison of the 787-8 vs 787-9 vs 787-10. I never realized how far forward the engines are on the -8!

[Norebbo @Norebbo]

@dfwtower @united Yeah, definitely the Saul Bass livery. I did illustrate that livery on the 787-8 a while ago, but I’ve been itching to try it on other versions as well. Maybe soon!

[Norebbo @Norebbo]

One of the things that I like the most about the ANA livery is how different it looks from one aircraft to the next. On smaller airplanes (such as the A320), the stripes are shorter and seem more angled. On longer airplanes (such as the 777-300ER), the stripes appear flatter.

[Norebbo @Norebbo]

@NebojsaDeLuka @Airbus Very nicely done!

[Norebbo @Norebbo]

@Chemications lol I can get onboard with that. 😄

[Norebbo @Norebbo]

@AircraftBy @AlaskaAir Very nicely done. Love the texture on this (and how it still looks shiny and reflective).

[Norebbo @Norebbo]

@The_LAAHS Love the retro liveries!

[Norebbo @Norebbo]

Not gonna lie: I would probably (definitely) like the current Sun Country Airlines livery a lot more if it didn't replace one of the best airline liveries of all time. Their last one was amazing! This one? Meh.

[Norebbo @Norebbo]

Speaking of Korean Air (from yesterday's post), can we all agree that the current livery is one of the most beautiful ever? 4 colors (and straight lines) never looked so good!

[Norebbo @Norebbo]

Pro tip for aspiring aircraft artists out there: start with an easy livery (example: Qatar Airways or Korean Air) to build your confidence. Starting off with something gnarly like Hainan Airlines is a recipe for disaster lol.

[Norebbo @Norebbo]

The best part of the Singapore Airlines livery is the fact that they dared to put old-school cheat lines on a state of the art / modern aircraft.
