not at the moment. Sorry!

I do use Adobe Illustrator, but not for the VFGirls - yet. I mainly use photoshop for coloring these days, but i still pencil and ink them on paper Thanks for taking note of my techniques. Hopefully ive made a clean enough job of inking that made you mistake it for Illustrator art? Oooh, the request list keeps on growing longer, i wish the other guys who used to draw VFGirls can come and pitch in Thanks for the nice words, guys ! I can draw VFs too, it's just that the VFGirls are easier to draw & look more ridiculously fun.

oh yeah! i remember seeing this way back in highschool with my buddies - we were all pumped to see a manga with 'adult' themes on screen we were all laughing out of the theater a bit disappointed but totally amused by the overly stylized choreography. Dacascos really looked the part of The Freeman ! (to this day, i havent seen the Japanese live action of another Ikegami manga : Sanctuary, i wonder how the actors looked in that adaptation !)

uh, who said that ?

with macross 7 - you should expect to have FUN ! your suspension of disbelief will reach unbelieveable levels ! dont watch the show in a single sitting - you'd go crazy ! i recommend watching 2 or 3 episodes a day.

That's an AWESOME piece of fan art! great find! Matthew C. Perry ?

Ha ha ! no, i dont. ive been using the mouse for art projects like this for the longest time. i should get one but i have other priorities

EDIT: imageshack ate my drawings, so i'll upload them directly here: Another VFGirl! long overdue, but i hope you like. and a variation for Macross World! Although my linework and inking isnt as detailed as the other VFGirls, in this one i paid more attention to the textures. I added metallic grains on her armor to further differentiate the textures between skin, cloth and metal.

well that's quite Reasonable of you.

i started out copying my favorite cartoons and comicbooks (ninja turtles and Jim Lee-1990's era Xmen and then some Ranma yeah, i might be that old already ). Eventually school made it mandatory for me to draw Real people - that's when i sort of learned real anatomy and tried out mixing real and cartoon anatomy to try and discover/find my own drawing style. if you go back to the beginning of this thread, you'll see how i improved my VFGirls style from way back in 2003/2004, when i was just coloring them with markers.

i think 'Machida' is the pilot's name, but if you directly call the VFGirl "Machida" that's when she'll be upset (maybe that's why she has an angry nerve on top of her head right there!) Well...wouldnt that be redundant ? but lemme see what i can do about it Thanks ! my secret? i keep on practising, with some learning on the side. Thanks ! a few more til the final episode airs and maybe you can start watching ! (im not sure what to really say, it took a VFGirl to finally force you to look at VF-171 ?! ) Understood. im just teasing you. and attached below is what im currently working on... see you soon !

hopefully they make something with a view of the Macross city ....

hey! nice ! it really has the heavily armored feel to it ! and Great proportions on the fast packed VF1 !

like those poor fool zentraedis over at gallia4...

in DYRL, Kawamori (the guy who was trying to approach Minmay for her autograph) also got crushed under that falling Zentraedi armor in the lounge scene after Minmay's concert evacuation.

i LOLed when suddenly VFGirls became real & canon in episode 21 XD

LOL! polidread delivers ! <3 her elder sister got posted here earlier in the thread: http://macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?show...st&p=265993 http://macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?act=...st&id=20032

EDIT: imageshack ate my drawing , so i'll be uploading it directly here hi everybody !

where the hell are you in the philppines, so i can go and strangle you myself ?!?!? XD

damn, my nihonggo is rustier than that shovel... all i can translate well is that last panel...

back in Macross Zero, a lone Cheyenne Destroid was doing well defending the AsukaII from DD Ivanov, until he got doubleteamed by Nora and DD. they arent weak, most of them do their job well. the plot just needs them to explode in front of the camera most of the time - giving you the illusion that it's all they can do.

Hehehe! i can almost see where this is coming from, dear gal !

heyhey! large improvement! nice!!!

why am i not surprised...
