With the recent introduction of the offline cloning tool, it's become easier than ever to create amazing game screenshots. So for our next contest we thought we'd try this: Pick your favorite Robert Taylor painting and try to recreate it as closely as possible using offline cloning.

Widely regarded as the world's foremost aviation artist, Robert Taylor enjoys a popularity rare among living painters. Renowned for the sweeping panoramic scale of his air combat paintings, his characteristic style has ensured that there is today unparalleled worldwide demand for his superb paintings and limited edition prints.

It would be useful to explain how this works. Seems the keys have recently changed as well.

It was easy enough to figure out. What a challenge! Was able to create some cool shots in about 20 minutes.
