First Time Drawing Some Alien Robots
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Tried to draw some transformers for the first time.  I don’t really like how the tomcat, or the corsair turned out, but the tomcat was my first time, and the corsair was just me feeling unmotivated.  I find this funny because I can’t even draw the majority of canon transformers I know, and yet I’m already creating designs for actual planes.  I may be cringe, but I am free.  (Also, yes, I know that the Harrier looks like nightshade from earthspark, LET ME BE-)  I made all of them autobots because why not?  I didn’t want my friends screaming at me because of something like me making their favorite plane a member of the antagonistic team.
(THANK YOU TO @robobrainrot FOR THE TUTORIAL THAT I TRIED TO BASE THIS OFF OF! WAHHHHH!!! <3)

STOVL Fighters Collection DOWNLOAD
At the end of 1950s, the engineers had just an idea of delivering the aircraft even without a runway. Then in the beginning of 1960s, some tests conducted to test the capability of STOVL (Short Take-Off Vertical Landing) or in other word, a possibility of vertical movement of the fixed-wing aircraft, began with the "Flying bunk" in1959. Then the Hawker Siddeley Limited in Britain proposed a concept named "P1127 Kestrel" as a prototype of the VTOL fighter. Then this concept acepted and in 1969, the production of Harrier GR1 had begun. This aircraft was intended to be in use for Royal Air Force, but the Royal Navy also got their own version of FRS1 years later. These Harriers sought it's first battle experience in Falklands War in 1982 when these Harriers brought down some of the Argentine's air capability without any losses. The last of the Harrier production was in GR9 variant which subsequently substituted by the latest F-35B by the Royal Air Force.
McDonnell-Douglas AV-8B Harrier II
The USMC was also seeking the aircraft that suits for the amphibious mission. After the success of the Harrier FRS1 and GR3 variants in the Falklands War, in 1985 the USMC proposed an inquiry to acquire some of these aircrafts, with also stated that these aircrafts should be manufactured in the United States. Then BAe Industries licensed the Harrier to the McDonnell-Douglas company . Also this aircraft met the service within the Royal Spanish Navy in 1987. Several missions has been done by AV-8Bs including Gulf War, Operation Enduring Freedom, Operation Iraqi Freedom and Libyan Crisis.
Lockheed Martin F-35B
The STOVL variant of F-35 Thunderbolt which it's STOVL technology derived from Yak-141 VTOL system, which sold to the Lockheed Martin in 1992, which emphasizes the vector exhaust and a fan in the middle of the aircraft. Also the most wanted aircraft in action of this century. The F-35B is the short take-off and vertical landing (STOVL) variant of the aircraft. Similar in size to the A variant, the B sacrifices about a third of the A variant's fuel volume to accommodate the SDLF. This variant is limited to 7 g. Unlike other variants, the F-35B has no landing hook. The "STOVL/HOOK" control instead engages conversion between normal and vertical flight.The F-35B is capable of Mach 1.6 (1,976 km/h) and can perform vertical and/or short take-off and landing (V/STOL)

Dexter Dias-Sherwood
Introduction
Full name: Demétrio Dias-Sherwood Nickname(s): Dexter, Dex, Dexy, Dexterino, Sexy Dexy, Sherly Gender: Male (he/they) Nationality: Brazilian Place of birth: Rocinha, Rio De Janeiro, Brazil Age: Mid to late twenties Callsign: Spots Sexuality: Pansexual Occupation: Fighter aircraft Squadron: VMFA-211 "Wake Island Avengers"
General Information
Personality: Dexter is a very upbeat and excitable individual, desperate to be the centre of attention and the life of the party at all times. Wild, flamboyant, rebellious and a huge flirt, he can be a little brash at times, though he generally doesn't mean any harm by it. But for his outgoing nature, Dexter surprisingly isn't much of a natural improvisor and will become quite flustered if someone does something he doesn't expect. He's known to be a persistent troublemaker, though this has gradually lessened as he has matured. Hobbies/Interests: Soccer, yoga. Likes: Partying, dancing, causing mischief, attention, chocolate and other sweets, Lance's cooking. Dislikes: Swimming, people pointing out his height, being ignored, large bodies of water where he cannot see the ground: oceans, lakes, etc. Voice: Dexter's voice has changed quite a lot over the years, though voice cracks have always been an issue whenever he raises his voice a little too high. He also has a strong accent.
Physical Characteristics
Species: Fighter jet Model: Lockheed Martin F-35B Lightning II Eye Colour: Amber Shape/Size: Dex is certainly on the smaller side compared to most other F-35s. No one is sure exactly why his growth was stunted so significantly. Notable Features: Vitiligo on his nose and underside, becoming more solid the further back it goes. Interesting Facts: • He is bilingual, able to speak fluently in both English and Brazilian Portuguese. • He has got quite the foul mouth and generally isn't someone to think before he speaks. • Likes the colour pink, especially since it goes well with his grey livery. • Has a huge sweet tooth. He'll be your best friend if you buy him something with chocolate in it. • He is quite ticklish, particularly on his chest and stomach. • Favourite sleeping position is on his back with all three landing gear splayed out in different directions. • He is incredibly flexible compared to most other aircraft, hence why he took up yoga as a hobby.
Mental Characteristics
Strengths: Bold, enthusiastic, entertaining, friendly. Weaknesses: Sensitive, easily bored, unfocused, poor long-term planner. Fears: Dex has thalassophobia due to past traumatic events. He struggles greatly with feeling like he's worth something to someone, craving validation that he's good enough. MBTI: ESFP "Entertainer"
Relationships
Parents: • Daniel Sherwood (F-35A) • Juliana Dias (AV-8B) Siblings: None Children: • Jesse Griffiths (F/A-18C x F-35B) Friends: • Mônica Reis Relationships: • Thiago Carris - former • Emeline Ravenhall - former • Lance Griffiths - current

WEEK 4 – Hasegawa’s 1/48 AV-8B Harrier Plus – Aircraft Completed!
Arriving at week four of the AV-8B Plus project there has been a schedule change. This was scheduled to be completed the week between Christmas and New Years but the schedule has been expedited so the completion date is now the week before Christmas. So this week I finished all the decals and then added the small final details to the aircraft. The aircraft was then weathered using pastel chalk to…

The F-35B LIGHTNING II and AV-8B HARRIER hover on pillars of fire in these IR photos.
Why don't they both fall over on their noses? There are more jets of cold gas holding up the front that don't show up in these pictures. The F-35B has a massive lift fan behind the cockpit, spun by a power take-off gearbox on the front of the engine that sucks in cold air through that big door on top and blasts it out the bottom. The Harrier has a Pegasus fan-jet engine and directs the cool fan flow through two nozzles in front (that white square above the nose gear is the one on the left side, and another is over on the right) to support the front of the aircraft in the hover.
