Default RE: Designing a new pattern model

The paintscheme was by far the hardest part of the design process. I think i scrapped it and started from scratch more than 10 times and overall it took more than a month to do it.
I wanted something colorful with flowing lines that suits the shape of the plane and strong contrast between upper and lower surfaces for better visibility. The grey areas will be silver in the end, but i couldn't find a way to simulate this in the renders. It is possible to make some improvements, but now i feel i have a good basis to work with.
I haven't decided the name of the model yet, but we'll call it Hypnose for now. Mine will be electric, so i added the proper stickers to the wings to get a better impression of the final look.
