During the attack on Pearl Harbor nine torpedoes hit the USS Oklahoma causing it to capsize at 8:05am. This happened shortly before the USS Arizona was infamously sank.
To do the painting I first created the scene in Maya 3D - the same software Pixar uses for their movies. I found photos of battleship row and of the attack and downloaded 3D models of the ships and planes then positioned them as best I could. Next I placed a lighting source in the computer scene to simulate the morning sun. The 3D software result is being used as my guide. This work in progress is a test for me; using the latest technology to inform and inspire traditional art.
