Biggles III - Time Fury, by Agent Provocateur on Mar 29, 2011 19:46:19 GMT 1, Biggles I -
The birth of a legend Biggles (otherwise known as a 'flying rat') is an old school flyer who was abducted by evil scientists when he was very young. They experimented on him, surgically implanting 2,000lb bombs to his wings. Luckily he escaped and has been flying the skies ever since, endlessly searching for the evil scientist's secret base so he can exact revenge. His old school flying goggles made of leather, metal and lambs wool are his favourite flying aides. -
Dangerous times The evil scientists that experimented on Biggles when he was a fledgling had begun their attack on the city, the first stage of their plan for world domination. In his quest to find the evil scientists and ultimately thwart their dastardly plans Biggles flies straight into the maelstrom engulfing the capital. Flames singe his wing tips and searchlights flash across the smoke filled sky dancing all around him. The destruction reflected in his goggles was also burning into his soul. -
Biggles is found They emerged from the boiling clouds like a swarm of evil vultures. Beneath them the raging inferno that had once been a great city was a desolate wasteland of smouldering ruins. The flames, which only hours earlier had dwarfed the mighty metropolis cast eerie patterns in the pregnant and foreboding sky with their dying breath. -
Seek and destroy Without any warning Dr Swarf Ega's death squadron sliced across the sky high above Biggles, their near vertical swoop forcing a pressure wave of hot air that tore at his plumage. Although caught unawares our fearless flyer slammed to a halt narrowly avoiding the razor sharp propeller blades spinning towards him, oblivious to the peril streaking through the clouds from behind... -
Biplanes, triplanes and zeppelins The evil scientist's airborne armada was honing in on his location from behind a massive weather system. A flotilla of aerial death rushing to wipe Biggles from the face of the earth. But with the best layed plans of mice, men and evil scientists, they had overlooked one bird, Biggles' wingman and best friend B. Lighty a seagull of immense resolve... -

Biggles III - Time Fury, by Agent Provocateur on Mar 30, 2011 18:09:54 GMT 1, Thanks for the feedback... the original Biggles on that gnarly bit of wood is one of my favourites (only because the wood's fantastic!) but because it's sooo decrepit it's liable to fall apart any second!
Would love to do a print of it, suppose a giclee would be best, just never done one and slightly short on readies. If there's a gallery out there that know their pixels from their paint and would be interested in hooking up to produce a small edition (maybe 5?) wiz me a pm
The 'boiling' clouds is a work in progress, if you can call three years with it not changing progress , Biggles is in there somewhere I just haven't worked out where yet!
Thanks again for the feedback... all comments, good, bad or ugly are always appreciated.

Biggles III - Time Fury, by Agent Provocateur on Mar 30, 2011 19:30:08 GMT 1, Cheers Fragile... not sure whether it's screenprintable (without using a zillion colours) but getting an industrial grade photograph of it on pristine white paper then printing some giclees (14"x18") may be the way forward.
Here's a mock-up.
I'll have a chat with a few printers.

Biggles III - Time Fury, by Agent Provocateur on Mar 31, 2011 17:04:19 GMT 1, Great to see your 'Searchlights' Coach... seem to remember you were key in that edition getting started.
Rico, the next instalment is definitely 'Biggles from the sparks' but the one I'm working on now is a whole other saucepan of crustaceans!
Gibbin, 'fraid the searchlights edition is not going to be resurrected, buuut there's more clouds in store in the future.
Here's a 11"x15" test print I did of the original Biggles piece, I'm going to try and borrow a quality camera this weekend take a better/larger photo. I've already talked to a printer that can do a small edition of archival prints on quality stock, probably around the 16.5"x23.4" size.

Oh Well! Failing the search lights being switched back on one of these prints would be ace

Biggles III - Time Fury, by Agent Provocateur on Apr 1, 2011 20:11:12 GMT 1, Got the snap sorted today.
The printer's done a test which he thinks looks cracking, once I get to see it the mini edition will be printed, if anyone else is interested in one just post on here or pm me and I'll send some quality photos when ready.

Not sure Coach, it's looking like a mini edition of 5 at the moment, but I might print an extra 3 to have some fun with! Still working out the details.
