Well, I was trying to explore this concept for a while, and I couldn't get the clouds to look how I wanted...
I can't seem to find the right settings to give that "cauliflower" look to the cumulonimbus billows. I wanted more defined and realistic "boils" in it... More hard convection looking at all... Well, this is the best I could reach 'til now. And yes, that's a 747! ::)
Anyways, I hope you like the image!
PS.: I've done a very little contrast and color correction in PS. Nothing too exagerated.
EDIT: Almost forgot, model from: http://thefree3dmodels.com/stuff/aircraft/boeing_747/15-1-0-420#axzz1F6Uecsmb

something about this reminds me of those movies from the 50's. Grand war adventure.
The luc_clouds_v2.tgd is in the thread that is referenced above, you don't need to luc site to get it!!
Looks like volcanic stuff. Good work!
Really, looks like volcanic stuff...
But it's originally pretended to be a massive, scary thunderstorm.. ;D
