grebo guru Posted November 3, 2006 Posted November 3, 2006 Seeing the VF-11MAXL discussed in another thread, it got me thinkin'. And scannin'. And Photoshoppin'. The result is attached -- the VF-11MAXL in Battroid mode. At some point I intend to do the Gerwalk and Fighter modes as well. I kinda think it should have a different head than the B/C... but I have yet to come up with a good one to use. Grebo! Quote
grebo guru Posted November 3, 2006 Author Posted November 3, 2006 Annnnd here's the fighter form of the VF-11MAXL. Its turns out looking a lot better than I expected. Quite VF-0D-ish. Grebo Quote
grebo guru Posted November 3, 2006 Author Posted November 3, 2006 Ahhhh, finished the Gerwalk mode. This is the one I'm least pleased with. I may redo it sometime. Anyway, here it is. Grebo Quote
grebo guru Posted November 3, 2006 Author Posted November 3, 2006 I came up with a color scheme I like for the fighter mode. I'll do the Battroid and Gerwalk at some point too. Grebo Quote
TheLoneWolf Posted November 3, 2006 Posted November 3, 2006 Nice scans! You're right, in fighter mode it looks like a VF-0D. Quote
grebo guru Posted November 3, 2006 Author Posted November 3, 2006 Here's the Battroid and Gerwalk modes in color. Now all I need is a decent picture of the VF-11B's gunpod... Grebo! Quote
grebo guru Posted November 3, 2006 Author Posted November 3, 2006 Glad you like, LoneWolf. I figure I oughtta give something back to the community, considering how many image requests I've been making... Greebles Quote
Knight26 Posted November 3, 2006 Posted November 3, 2006 Nice but I would get rid of the original vertical stabs and maybe play with the legs a little more. Quote
grebo guru Posted November 4, 2006 Author Posted November 4, 2006 (edited) Hmmm. Y'know... you're right. I should get rid of the vertical stablizers. Thanks for the suggestion. As for playing with the legs, well, I do need to modify the backs of the legs a bit to match the fighter mode, it's true. Edit: Okay, how about this? Nice but I would get rid of the original vertical stabs and maybe play with the legs a little more. Edited November 4, 2006 by grebo guru Quote
grebo guru Posted November 4, 2006 Author Posted November 4, 2006 Aha! While looking through one of my Armored Core books, I found a new head... It's on one of the rough designs, so AFAIK it hasn't appeared anywhere official. Conveniently, this head is quite well suited to being added to a Variable Fighter. Considering I've been wanting to give my VF-11MAXL a different head, this one will work nicely -- especially given that its head-credt/fin/thing would make a very nice single top stabilizer in Fighter mode. (Sigh... of course now I'm gonna have to modify the fighter mode pic. Again.) This, along with Graham's terrific image of the VF-11B gunpod (SO much nicer than that of the 11C), I think this MAXL is really coming along!!! Grebo Quote

Grebo so this is your personal Variable Fighter lol any way very nice Work Quote
grebo guru Posted November 5, 2006 Author Posted November 5, 2006 (edited) Woof woof, so this is your personal Variable Fighter lol any way very nice Work Heh! Well, I dunno about "my personal" VF... the VF-11MAXL is supposed to be a real machine. However, this is of course my take on it. And thank you for the compliment! Attached, now, is what I think is pretty close to the final product. Grebo! Edited November 5, 2006 by grebo guru Quote
grapetang Posted November 6, 2006 Posted November 6, 2006 Cool! The head & color scheme kinda remind me of the refined Barzam from Zeta Gundam/Sentinel: [attachmentid=37796] Great work again! Looking forward to more! Quote
grebo guru Posted November 6, 2006 Author Posted November 6, 2006 Thank you, grapetang! I appreciate the compliment. And don't worry, I'll be doing more. There are SO many Macross photoshop projects I wanna do... And as for the Refine Barzam -- nice pic of it! I loooove my Gundam Fix figure of that MS. Katoki is the man! I swear, I don't what the designer(s) of the original Barzam were thinking. Talk about ugly! And then to claim it's the mass-production version of the Gundam Mark II? I don't think so! Katoki's version really makes much more sense -- and lots so much sweeter. Mmm-mmm good! Grebo Quote
Knight26 Posted November 6, 2006 Posted November 6, 2006 Not loving the head fin, but to each his own. Quote
Kelsain Posted November 8, 2006 Posted November 8, 2006 I think the head fin has potential, but I have 2 issues with it. 1) the only other head fin we've seen is the Fire Valk, and it seems to go along with the face - flashy without much practical value. 2) those little details on the side seem out of place on the 11, they detract a bit from the total package. It looks really cool though. Nice work. Quote

I'm glad people have been interested. :-) Grebo Quote
