Mr March Posted October 28, 2008 Posted October 28, 2008 Not sure yet. Still a bit of work to do and I'm coordinating some new material with other fans. It won't be a huge update, but it'll have worthwhile content.
Savvi Posted October 28, 2008 Posted October 28, 2008 Where did you get that picture of the custom from? Which image? I posted 2. If you meant the actual kit image, I got it from Dalong.net. But it would be the original copy, I edited the one posted to look like my version (drawn). If you meant the Ranka art, I just spotted it on Google image search. It was on a blog but the blogger did not source the image or credit the artist.
Wolfman Posted October 30, 2008 Posted October 30, 2008 (edited) Mr. March, yesterday, while lurking on MAHQ's MechaTalk Forum, I found some VF-22 lineart that looks like yours done up in Strigon Team colors from Ace Combat 6. It seems that someone deleted a line during the recoloring process, could you possibly correct this? Edited October 30, 2008 by Wolfman
Mr March Posted October 30, 2008 Posted October 30, 2008 Interesting color scheme. I'm not sure I understand what you need done to this picture. The line art appears in tact. Which line is supposedly missing?
Wolfman Posted October 30, 2008 Posted October 30, 2008 (edited) Interesting color scheme. I'm not sure I understand what you need done to this picture. The line art appears in tact. Which line is supposedly missing?Nevermind. It must've been the fact I was viewing the image via my X-Box 360 on a TV that gave me the impression that the artist had merged the antenna on the head with the starboard intake. Anyways, the color scheme is that of Strigon Team from Ace Combat 6: Fires of Liberation for the X-Box 360. Edited October 30, 2008 by Wolfman
Mr March Posted October 30, 2008 Posted October 30, 2008 Ahh, good, good. It's a nice scheme. Looks sharp. You do like the color black on a valkyrie
Wolfman Posted October 31, 2008 Posted October 31, 2008 (edited) Yeah, I guess I do. While I'm thinking about it, would you mind doing all three modes of the VF-11B Thunderbolt III in Strigon Team colors? Edited November 18, 2008 by Wolfman
Mr March Posted November 7, 2008 Posted November 7, 2008 Wolfman Snuck in some time this morning to do your custom. Here it is
Sulendil Ang Posted November 7, 2008 Posted November 7, 2008 March: Nice custom. Never realise VF-11 can be so nice with black colour.
anime52k8 Posted November 8, 2008 Posted November 8, 2008 Wolfman Snuck in some time this morning to do your custom. Here it is very nice, although the belly of the fighter should be Red as well. (sorry but I've been playing AC6 way to much lately) this is kind of an odd request but I was wondering if I could get some if you're images in unflattened PSD form, I had some paint schemes i wanted to try out for fun.

Wolfman Posted November 14, 2008 Posted November 14, 2008 Here's two in a WWII anniversary scheme, both F6F Hellcat-based three color blue scheme for the USN, and A6M-based green for the IJN. Say, Talos, how about early war and late war USN colors?
Talos Posted November 14, 2008 Posted November 14, 2008 Say, Talos, how about early war and late war USN colors? I have some other WWII ones planned.
Wolfman Posted November 17, 2008 Posted November 17, 2008 I have some other WWII ones planned. I'm looking forward to them.
Talos Posted November 17, 2008 Posted November 17, 2008 (edited) I'm looking forward to them. I'll get to them eventually. I've been unable to bring myself to do a lot of drawing recently, artist's block and all that. I just finished coloring in the basic shapes of the VF-0A. Now to continue with the shading and highlighting, as well as the detailing and decaling. Edited November 17, 2008 by Talos
Wolfman Posted December 1, 2008 Posted December 1, 2008 (edited) Hey, Talos, could you check these images? I think you made a minor mistake with the color of the insignia of the VF-4 Lightning. Edited December 1, 2008 by Wolfman
Talos Posted December 2, 2008 Posted December 2, 2008 Hey, Talos, could you check these images? I think you made a minor mistake with the color of the insignia of the VF-4 Lightning. I painted it in WWII-era Insignia Blue, which is what it's supposed to be painted, under the old manuals. It's particularly based on the old F4U Corsair schemes, not the F6F Hellcat's, which feature the blue even on the overall dark-blue scheme (which I'll get to eventually after I finish reworking the shading and highlighting on the VF-4. This isn't finished yet, but it shows where I'm at so far.
Venom Posted December 4, 2008 Posted December 4, 2008 Savvi, can you give us the lineart of the VF-25's topside view? Thanks!
Remko Posted December 5, 2008 Posted December 5, 2008 This was posted on the Starship Modeler website sometime ago, and may already be known, but it's still my favourite, an fits the VF-4 Lightning perfectly. The Japanese cranes in the background are also a great homage to the origins of Macross. And of course the website of http://www.hungrylizardstudio.com with a host of SV-51 Alternative colorschemes Nice ideas for modelkits too!!

Wolfman Posted December 13, 2008 Posted December 13, 2008 Hey, Mr. March, when's the update to your site going to happen?
Talos Posted December 14, 2008 Posted December 14, 2008 Hey, Mr. March, when's the update to your site going to happen? 2 days ago... It's a good update.
Wolfman Posted December 17, 2008 Posted December 17, 2008 2 days ago... It's a good update. Yeah, I looked at it a couple of days ago. Thanks for letting me know.
Damian Posted December 22, 2008 Posted December 22, 2008 Hi Guys!! Damn is the silly (read stupid) season in effect here with Xmas day drawing ever closer!! Hmmm I can almost taste the lunch now YUM! Well I've done some Macross/Robotech profiles, they're not as great as some of the previous efforts but I'm still learning 1. VF-101. There's something about having the Reaper on the tail that just screams cool... 2. VF-11. Nothing like a Ripper's machine. The engine pods are colour coded with the rest of the scheme and I think it ties it all together quite nicely. 3. VFA-75. The Sunday Punchers, now that is a cool name for an attack sqn. A little obscure as I think they were disbanded with their A-6s but I found a nice patch that screamed TAIL ART at me. Their A-6s were plain and so is this VF-1A. 4. VFA-25. One of my fav attack squadrons. This profile is quite different from all the others as I used it to play around with adding some grime, leaks and repaints to the airframe via different levels and blurs. I think it came out ok but some more work will need to be done... Crits and comments most welcomed! D ps. It been point out to me that its SPACY on SPACEY. The next batch will be fixed
Zinjo Posted December 22, 2008 Posted December 22, 2008 Very nice work, however the word is spelled "SPACY", no "e".
Talos Posted December 27, 2008 Posted December 27, 2008 Here's something else I worked on today, the heavy boosters for the VF-4 that replace the arms and the normal rockets.
SchizophrenicMC Posted December 28, 2008 Posted December 28, 2008 Um, does the following count? It's my best custom, so far. Made for my father... In Paint... From Mr March's cannon fodder...
anime52k8 Posted December 28, 2008 Posted December 28, 2008 Here's something else I worked on today, the heavy boosters for the VF-4 that replace the arms and the normal rockets. absolutely awesome as usual, talos. your line art always turns out so crisp, fine and clean. I wish my digital work would turn out half this good. this is probably way too much to be asking of you, but do you think you could do something like this for the VF-4 I've been working on? if you would that would be the coolest thing ever, and I'd owe you for the rest of forever.

Sure, no problem. You have an awesome design, I'll help where I can.
