AlphaHX

Heres just a random sketch that I did for fun. Its nothing original or special but imo I think it looks cool and at least its something different. I kept it relatively simple since all of the sdf macross heads were pretty clean looking and had nothing too super techy or detailed on them. oh well, here goes nothing... let the bashing begin. Primary Sketch: Finished version on next page.

Quiet you! We put it in the toys section because the toys section historically gets the most traffic, and I wanted as many members as possible to see it, and hence, get a chance at getting a case. Hahahahahah!!! I was just wondering the saaaaame thing.

I think this was posted before but this guy did Imai battroids too... among a lot of other models. http://k-titan.hp.infoseek.co.jp/%83%7D%83...B/makurosu.html

#21 for me too!

wow! geez! he even did the VF-0D already!

Oooh boy... Thats a lot of choices from everyone. Maybe I shouldnt have made so many designs... Just a side note. We cannot use 4 since we dont have high res scans of the CG pictures that I used. We also cannot use 3 and 5. Sorry guys. Oh yeah, number 8 is number 10 with the character triangle. It just needs the desert scene embedded into the spine. I'll uhh... try to cut down on the designs next time and try to make it easier on everyone. *sigh*... Edit 1: Whoops! Dunno if you guys wanted to count my vote but I would either go with 13 or 21. Edit 2: Doh... forgot to add that I can still make changes to any and all of these boxes. As Mechamaniac said, plz REVIEW them as well as to voting. If we come up with a winner but slight things wanted to be changed on them (as long as everyone agrees) I can still do that.

NICE TOONZ!!! Keep it coming!

Like I've said before, its obviously unfinished. Key word... unfinished. So why are you trying to be so "professional" about it? Thats like looking at a sketch and saying it sucks because its not colored. Also, who said it was for "out there" so why the need to be "cutthroat"? I draw plenty of pictures that arent for "out there", its just for fun and to pass time. All I'm saying is from nothing assumed, this was just a post from a member showing us his progress of his work. Theres no need to be "nit picky". Sure you're not nit picky compared to the "real" people "out there" but none of us said anything about them or their work so why compare? If you're from that industry. Cool. I have no problems with that. But that doesnt mean you need to bring the industry's standards here. I dont want to off topic too much than I already have. Seriously, I have nothing against you. I'll admit that my post was harsh. I apologize. But like I said before, I rather take the heat instead of Datterboy. All I'm saying is lighting up on the "constructive critism". This is a forum about Macross, not CGing, not animation, etc. I understand if you're in a CG forum and you're planning to go into the animation industry, critism like that will be nothing but helpful. But for here, lighting up. We share our works for the fun of it. To give Macross fans eye candy, etc. Its all for fun, no need to be so constructive. P.S. If you feel like criticizing stuff. I have a Macross Wallpaper section in the fan works here that I've posted a bunch in that you can bash all you want... and trust me, I'll give you plenty to bash about. Theres a bunch of wallpaper that I dont even like but just posted for the fun of it. Just criticizing my stuff tho.

How? By getting in the way of his firing zone...twice? And instead of just knocking the enemy off the other guy, he blows them up as his wingman barely gets out of the way. That may be good piloting, but that's reckless endangerment. When Max did his thing, his wingmen were not in his way. Max put the risk all on himself than to place it on himself and everyone around him. Well... yeah... umm... theyre alive, right? I guess thats all that matters.

I wasnt trying to be too serious. I was just explaining my actions. Glad things are settled. I have kingnor's version on my comp somewhere. It looked really nice too. It was just all in grey. I hope kingnor and datterboy have updates soon.

Good points. But I see that you have some errors of your own. First off, its "though", not thought. Second, its beginning with an "i" and two "n". Third, until is spelled with one "l" not two and why is it called a soldier and why is the "s" capitalized? Next, the word you were looking for was probably protruding no "extruding". Also emerging is spelled with an "e", not "u". Lastly, choppiness is spelled with and "i", not "y". Theres also a run on sentence but I'm not going to go into that. Great points. Just a lot of spelling errors. Sorry, I like to rant on people who rant on other people. that was uncalled for. the dude was just offering some constructive criticisms. It is not like he panned the effort. 'sides, ain't no one hear speaking good engrish all da time anyhows. Theres a thin line between constructive criticisms and being "nit picky". I find his comments "nit picky". As an artist myself, I dont mind constructive criticisms. In fact, I like it. I feel that it helps me improve. But being "nit picky" is another thing. Thats just pointing out flaws for the sake of pointing out flaws. I even feel that Knight26 comments was a bit picky but I still feel that it was constructive criticism and could be quite helpful. Btw Knight26, I wasnt talking about you. I found your comments to be quite helpful and could actually help Datterboy progress along nicely. I'm actually glad that you contributed. If I was out of line, I'm sorry but I really do feel that broadshore was a tad out of line. I was just defending a fellow MWer. Datterboy shared a great piece of work and I dont feel that the "nit picky" criticisms were necessary. Especially when the video is obviously far from finished. Datterboy was kind of enough to share his progress. So as I said before, I dont mind constructive criticism but I will continue to defend my fellow MWers if I feel that they have crossed the line. I rather it be me to take the heat than Datterboy.

I remember seeing that before! That was awesome... I wanted to get one but didnt know where to start looking or how much it was. Truely a great great custom tho. I like.

At first I just made this for myself cuz I wanted a dark wallaper and I didnt want to post up basically the same wallpaper again but I decided what the hey, people could want a darker version of this too.

*Drool* That was sexy. Hahaha... Now if only someone can make a YF-19. I've seen one of the VF-11, that was impressive tooooo...

thanx!

I would vote but I'm biased. I like mine. Hahahah...

Yay!!! Do we have high res scans of the cockpit too? If so, all of my mock ups wouldnt be useless! I'm only missing the cockpit pictures!

I could agree with that too. Seriously, I for one am glad that to share your knowledge of Macross in all of its glory of designing details but just as a warning, most of us are just happy there are even models or toys for us fans so dont over criticize it or youre going to make a lot of people unhappy. With the way things are heading, Yamato doesnt even seem to have the YF-19FP in sight and Hasegawa looks to be done after Zero. I for one am just hoping they continue to MAKE Macross models/toys let alone getting it perfectly correct. Pointing out the mistakes are fine but dont go overboard on the criticisms.

It is a shame. I think Club-M, TANMEN and Studio Half have better kits. Get the Club-M kit then. Problem solved. I have both the Hasegawa and Club-M kit. Both of them were well worth it imo. But in the end its all the same, I'll make them, color them and display em. Nothing I'm going to obsess over when all done and over with.

what else is on the scans? do you think you could post them? i could really use them for my art projects. thanx.

I have a problem with Hase!! They need to make MORE!!! MORE I SAY!!! MORE!!! Hehe... I love them. Cant wait for more of their Macross models.

i just checked the links. theyre fine. geocities is just stoopid and has a limit on the data transfer. so basically it has uploaded too much data. just try again later. if you're still having problems, just tell me. ill host the pictures someplace else since geocities sux.

another sky flight for the zero fans...

another 19 and 21 wallpaper... im obviously a mac plus fan.
