jvmacross Posted April 17, 2015 Posted April 17, 2015 Latest Takani art book.... Not much in terms of Macross, however, they do publish a couple of color Macross 7 valkyrie illustrations, don't think I have seen these in any other book, at least not in color.... .....too bad the pics are so small....

jvmacross Posted May 11, 2015 Posted May 11, 2015 Macross Original Theme & BGM Piano Score "book"..............I think this was the last officially licensed and published SDFM TV "book" I had left to find...... Mission accomplished? ..........only time will tell...... Quote
Marzan Posted May 13, 2015 Posted May 13, 2015 Your collection is insane jvmacross. Congratulations on your accomplishment. Quote
jvmacross Posted May 13, 2015 Posted May 13, 2015 Your collection is insane jvmacross. Congratulations on your accomplishment. Thanks Marzan!.....the 80's SDFM merchandising machine was prolific, only the MacF one can rival it........just when I think I am "done"....somethings pops up that I have never seen....keeps collecting Macross interesting!

kyan Posted June 10, 2015 Posted June 10, 2015 Would anyone know which art book this one came from? Quote
jvmacross Posted June 10, 2015 Posted June 10, 2015 Would anyone know which art book this one came from? Do you have the link to where you found the pic?.....looks nice but maybe it is fanmade Quote
kyan Posted June 10, 2015 Posted June 10, 2015 (edited) Some guy posted it in our local forum claiming that it's concept art and won't divulge where he got it. Nutjob keeps on claiming that this and that are his property when they're clearly just stuff that he got from the Internet. Good thing he isn't a member here as he's a headache to deal with.Google image search comes up zero as well.Would still want to find the source. Would also be quite surprised if it's really concept art as I haven't seen an art book with images drawn and colored this way. So I asked here in case somebody has seen this before.

jvmacross Posted June 10, 2015 Posted June 10, 2015 Looks Zentraedi by way of ORGUSS... Not an Orguss fan so had to look up some of the line art...but yeah...I see the references....especially the side cannons/guns.... The art resembles no current style used by any of the major Macross mecha illustrators (Kawamori, Miyatake, and Tenjin).....sooner it looks like something you'd find done by a fan on Deviantart....kind of like this... The only other "Japanese" quasi-official source could be a doujin featuring Macross artists' take on futuristic/alternate takes on Macross designs... I believe there was a pic of an "updated" destroid in on of the Macross F doujins.....here: So what forum is it? Who knows maybe it is concept art for the Robotech live-action movie Quote
kyan Posted June 10, 2015 Posted June 10, 2015 The katakana descriptions kinda threw me off that maybe it was a book from Japan or something. Thanks for the info. I'll post here if we ever get the source. But yeah, I suspect it's just from some deviant art page or some Japanese guy's fan art. Quote
jvmacross Posted June 10, 2015 Posted June 10, 2015 yeah...the Japanese text could have been easily 'lifted" from the existing line art for the Regult...or from any other mecha really....it's just generic names for the weapons and features...nothing that distinguishes anything as "Macross" specific..... "Main Cannon"...."Rear laser machine gun"...."missle pods"...."Sensor"...etc it's a nice illustration....just don't think it is an official Big West illustration.... Quote
kyan Posted June 12, 2015 Posted June 12, 2015 Ugh, just found it and it's pornographic fan art. It's from a site called sankakucomplex. Quote
jvmacross Posted June 12, 2015 Posted June 12, 2015 Ugh, just found it and it's pornographic fan art. It's from a site called sankakucomplex. LOL...the pic of the regult I assume?....have the direct link to it? Quote
kyan Posted June 13, 2015 Posted June 13, 2015 Yeah. Just go to the site sankakucomplex.com and image search "macross" on their little album on the left.Sometimes, the Japanese are just plain weird... and sick...The places I end up at just for Macross hahaha. Quote
jvmacross Posted June 13, 2015 Posted June 13, 2015 Yeah. Just go to the site sankakucomplex.com and image search "macross" on their little album on the left. Sometimes, the Japanese are just plain weird... and sick... The places I end up at just for Macross hahaha. Searching "Macross" comes up with 8000+ pics....how about just posting the direct link to the pic? Using advanced search isn't helpful either... Quote
jvmacross Posted June 30, 2015 Posted June 30, 2015 Satelight Art Works...... In terms of Macross content....for the most part it contains nothing that has not already been published elsewhere, such as within the pages of Macross Chronicles...... Quote
Fortress_Maximus Posted July 17, 2015 Posted July 17, 2015 @ JVMacross: The Hagane Bito artbook is really impressive. Is it mainly filled with Gundam images? How many images are from Macross? Thanks.Also, how old are the Shogakukan three volume hardcovered children artbooks? And how many pages does it contain? Thanks! Quote
jvmacross Posted July 17, 2015 Posted July 17, 2015 Yes, the Hagane Bito book is mainly Gundam and Votoms....the three pics I posted from Macross are the extent of Macross coverage... The Shogakukan set is from the SDFM era....so 1983...off the top of my head I would say about 15 "pages" each... There is also a softcover set.... http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?showtopic=29133&p=1054637 ....and a book with a "flexi-record"..... http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?showtopic=29133&p=1122653 Quote
Fortress_Maximus Posted July 18, 2015 Posted July 18, 2015 Thanks for clarifying about both books! The hardcover Shogakukan 3 volume set looks fantastic. Need to get a set! For the softcover set is it in post #286? Not sure which picture I should be referencing. Thanks bunches! Quote
jvmacross Posted July 18, 2015 Posted July 18, 2015 Yes....post #286 contains pics for the soft cover books....they are not the same but do contain some of the same artwork from the hardcover books.... Quote
jvmacross Posted August 3, 2015 Posted August 3, 2015 No worries....if I run into any of them I'll let you know Quote
jvmacross Posted September 22, 2015 Posted September 22, 2015 Don't really collect doujins...but this one had Misa on the cover... Quote
Gubaba Posted October 19, 2015 Posted October 19, 2015 Would anyone know which art book this one came from? It looks like one of the pre-Macross "Genocidas" gerwalks... Quote
Ganbare Posted November 7, 2015 Posted November 7, 2015 Need help finding which Macross frontier book came from ? http://www.macross2.net/m3/macrossf/vf-25f/vf-25-lineart1.gif Quote
sketchley Posted November 7, 2015 Posted November 7, 2015 Need help finding which Macross frontier book came from ? http://www.macross2.net/m3/macrossf/vf-25f/vf-25-lineart1.gif If memory serves, that artwork was originally released as part of a monthly column or article in a modelling magazine, and collected in "Macross Frontier Archives". I've translated parts of that book, but I'm pasting the linky for you (and others) for the publisher/date info at the top: http://monkeybacon.mywebcommunity.org/OTMiscBooks/MacrossFarchives.php The lineart in your link comes from Pgs. 069 and 070.

Thank you for the information. Every Macross frontier artbook I bought, always showing 3d render of the valks. Latest frontier book is the red and blue book. No VF-25 or VF-171 lineart though Quote
sketchley Posted November 8, 2015 Posted November 8, 2015 (edited) Sadly, there's next to no lineart for the Valkyries in Frontier. Either they're deliberately preventing it from being released, the publication market doesn't support its release (people just don't buy that stuff anymore, unlike the '80's), or it just doesn't exist, and the closest thing to it is the wireframe models for the CG.
