i think if it's a 'cartoon plane' like you keep saying, then i give you advice opposite of everyone else. it looks too similar to something real. the curved wings were great, but then you had a more realistic-looking cockpit windshield area, wheel base, etc. i'd say think about it similarly to the haunted house tutorial... if it's gonna be cartoony, embellish certain characteristics. give it curvy wings, but make them small enough that there's no way it could actually really fly. instead of a segmented cockpit area, use just a regular hemisphere with a shiny silver-ish shader. make big, billowy checker-patterned bombs. the more surreal it gets, the more cartoony it'll look, plus the more original it is - the more you can actually call it your own.

Accept no substitutions.

I agree with NeoStrider.

As for posting more than one pic, you'll have to get an image host like Photobucket to upload your images to then post the links to them here.

cuz I see that you manually copy a sentence and quote it instead of using the built in function.
