Next I did the name of the plane on the sides. There will be ghost flames under the name.

Same procedure with a paper printout for layout.

Here the ghost flame masking film was layed out and masked off.

The whole graphic was shot with silver pearl with red candy shot on the tips and dusted

over the whole set of flames.

Flames are unmasked.

The Austral name was then layed over the flames. I am doing this opposite from the wings. On the wings the Austral name was shot to appear cut into the surface (concave). On the fuselage I painted it to appear as though it were protruding (convex) from the surface. I do that by painting white on the highlight side and black on the shadow side.

I now hand airbrush in a drop shadow to enhance the allusion further.
