Here is a little more work from Ronald Volstad, a WW2 illustrator who is mostly known for the work he has done for a range of Osprey military history books. He pays a lot of attention to detail in order to generate these impressive images, quite in contrast to some of the artist’s I have seen. Though these are final, published products so it isn’t any wonder why he puts care into it.
The style is quiet a reflection of the era, and the colour schemes are quite true to the originals. Since computers were not so widely used it would have been illustrators who made the bulk of the imagery in books these sorts of books. So when you look at them now they feel even more dated, maybe an effect I would like to achieve in my work.
