Yeeeehaaaaaa

Rogue pilots from area 51, take the day off.

I’m not sure if this is the sort of tweaking you had in mind, Resisto, but I couldn’t resist drawing something for that inviting flight path. The “donut / frizzbee” type ufo more common a decade or two ago, has been linked by certain groups to experimental aircraft developed by the Americans afer they had “interviewed” the “high altitude crash test dummy” aliens. Who knows? Anyway it was easier to draw than a Battlestar. :)

Yeeeehaaaaaa belongs to the following groups:

Aeronautics & Aviation, BubbleMania, In the Moment and Sci Fi

Awesome treatment here Tom – Intergalactic brilliance at its best!
peter, about 1 year ago

Yep – it works for me.
Adrian Rachele, about 1 year ago

aaria, about 1 year ago

very clever indeed, Mr Godfrey… and sooo you!
Scott Robinson, about 1 year ago

I was so hoping you`d do something Sci-fi, You`ve made my day!
Tom Godfrey, about 1 year ago

Thanks kind people. James, yours will be with you as soon as I can licence them with the RTA. They claim they haven’t got the facilities to charge for sky-parking yet :) Glad to have made your Monday Resisto- good if the week starts well. Happy creating all
Stephen Kilburn, about 1 year ago

Sweet. Looks real too :) Reminds me a little of Douglas Adam’s Hitch Hikers where bored (alien) uni students do stunts like this on unsuspecting planets.
veronique, about 1 year ago

Your artworks are absolutely awesome, played with various mediums myself years ago, favourite being pastels…never got to anywhere near this brilliant tho!!! Would love you to upload a pelican one…I’ve taken hundreds of images of pelicans, wonderful characters!!

museumofdirt, about 1 year ago

Ahhhh …. Cool as!
Tom Godfrey, about 1 year ago

Thanks good people – my ego is glowing with all this warm fuzzy feedback. Stephen, I have not yet read the book or seen the movie -how crazy is that. I will have to make an effort now -it’s a sign :). Praise indeed, Veronique, many thanks. I have done a couple of pastel Pelicans but because the Saints Gallery wants to sell them I thought I had better stay away from the print thing. They are on my website if you want to sneek a peek – http://www.tomgodfrey.com. Thanks also Cliff, Meanderthal(it had the same effect on me when I finished it :) chantelle and museumofdirt – I must read your bio, to see if you explain your name.

Murray Newham, about 1 year ago

Awesome, I love the whole 50’s era sci-fi feel to your work.
lawrylove, about 1 year ago

love the way that it has movment and perspective..
Tom Godfrey, about 1 year ago

Thanks people. I was born in the early 50’s so I guess the programming is there :) I tried hard to get a sense of movement and perspective, so it’s good to know it worked for you lawrylove

sunset, 11 months ago

the people of Melbourne ( I’m pretty sure that’s melbourne) must’ve thought their e’s got mixed up with their lsd.

...the girl at the local take away assures me there’s so much more drug taking in Melbourne!? I thought it was laughable…but here’s proof!
sunset, 11 months ago

just kidding, ok!

talent recognized where credit is due.
Jeff Burns, 11 months ago

Incredibly done. This is fantastic. Great job.

Tom Godfrey, 11 months ago

Richard Branson has taken over the franchise – Virgin Inter-galactic, so I’ll see if I can pull a few strings and get you on the next one out to Orion’s belt, I hear it’s nice there this time of year :)
Daniel Rarela, 10 months ago

completely in love with your entire portfolio, Tom! encore!!!
Jessica Shipard, 10 months ago

photoshoped… much? :)

Maximillian Wa..., 10 months ago

You are a god.
Christiaan, 10 months ago

Cool, I still love this… I dont see my previous comment anymore, Im sure I commented it before though…
kimbaross, 10 months ago

The title is the clincher. I love it.
Tom Godfrey, 10 months ago

Wow! what excellent feedback to come home to, thanks people. Thanks DoctorJ. I reckon if they are more advanced than us, they will have passed the dangerous ”...little knowledge is dangerous.” phase and thus avoided nuclear devastation and they must surely have recognised the value of humour and fun. Survival, just for its own sake, doesn’t sound like much of a reason to be alive. :) Jessica, photoshopped? not at all -Corelled actually :). Jokes aside the original photo was donated by a member and we were challenged to come up with something. I sliced oval sections from the water then placed them in the sky, after that it was just a case of drawing onto it, imagining reflected colour etc then copying and inverting for the craft reflected in the water. Finally I blurred the area likely to be affected by exhaust heat haze. Took me a whole weekend though :)

thanks also Michael Charlotte and Derid- no fly zone, LOL. I did say they were rogue pilots :) thanks also Trifle and Jewd, so, you know then :) Maximillian- wow! not even my wife ever said that, to me at least :) – my mortal self gives you thanks.Finally, thanks Christiaan and Kimbaross, the title only occurred to me once it was all finished. I like to think it’s just how I would have responded.
Luvlee, 10 months ago

Lisadee, 10 months ago

JohnScott, 5 months ago

what speed is it doing Tom?
Tom Godfrey in reply to JohnScott’s comment, 5 months ago

Hi John
It has throttled right back, so as not to rattle the coffee cups of the twilight sippers along the Yarra :) I guess not more than 200kph at the point I took the photo. (not:)Two seconds before that, about 30000kph :)
JohnScott, 5 months ago

30,000 eh, hmmm and then they put it into 2nd gear. lol

That’s my ship !

P.S. Its a b**r to find parking.
Tom Godfrey in reply to Zirg son of Zram’s comment, 2 months ago

LOL Sorry Zirg. I just couldn’t resist taking the pic. I hope I haven’t violated any inter-galactic photo laws. PS I believe there are a few parking spaces left in the middle of the antarctic, but hurry they are filling up fast. :0
blurtsmum, 2 months ago

I love this – I automatically winced as I imagined the sound and speed of that thing tearing through what looks like a nice respectable well ordered community. That will have had a few folk choking on their evening meals and cocktails. Good work. K
Tom Godfrey, 2 months ago

Thanks mum of Blurt – I was trying to get the sensation of speed and I’m glad to know you picked that up. I like your imagination -picturing the folk choking on meals and cocktails. :) cheers
T.D. Ruley, 2 months ago

I wish they would show up and prove themselves to be time travelers and NOT little green men. Either way, nice picture…

Yeeehaaaa! Thanks blurtsmum. What a great surprise and a good start to a Sunday :)
Atheum, about 1 month ago

Wow, I love it! Reminds me of Gary Larson’s—author of the Far Side comics—comics; he has a panel similar to this. It must be a tough life living in Area 51.
Tom Godfrey in reply to Atheum’s comment, about 1 month ago

:) to be even mentioned in the same breath as Gary Larson…wow, praise indeed Antheum. tough on those poor old fly boys, still, it’s only a 10 minute flight to anywhere on the planet so there are compensations :)
Atheum, about 1 month ago

I need the direct link to your entry in the Editing Mayhem challenge. I accidentally scrolled past it, and need the link to get to it. I tried to page through the rest of the entries to get back to the beginning, but that didn’t work.
Tom Godfrey in reply to Sandra Chung’s comment, 18 days ago

Hi Sandra -do you mean?

Sandra Chung, 18 days ago

Unfortunately no. Their new voting set up isn’t working right. It skipped over several entries, and when I tried to go back, I couldn’t. Need you to go to the challenge, check what the link to YOUR entry is. That’s the one I need, and am hoping will let me vote for yours. If not, It’s gonna be a write in.
