SchizophrenicMC Posted June 7, 2009 Posted June 7, 2009 That is awesome snakerbot!!! Man if I was in a combat zone and saw that VF-27 coming at me I'd run like hell, That thing looks like 2 tons of Evil!! To me, it looks like 13.288 Tons of Evil.
505thAirborne Posted June 8, 2009 Posted June 8, 2009 To me, it looks like 13.288 Tons of Evil. He got me with a technicality!!!
Mr March Posted June 8, 2009 Posted June 8, 2009 Ahh, but wouldn't it be 15.08 tons? The VF-27 Lucifer is 12.08 tons empty plus the big heavy quantum beam gun weighs 3+ tons. Of course, there's also fuel, ammunition for the 25 mm guns and micro-missile payloads to consider. *505thAirborne kills everyone in this thread* There, that's better Anyway, not bad snakerbot.
505thAirborne Posted June 8, 2009 Posted June 8, 2009 Mr. March, you know how to make my Day!! I need to add my own UN-OFFICIAL color schemes to this thread!!

No, it'd be 12.08 tonnes. That's the Metric system for you! Instead, how about this: It's weightless Evil. This IS 0G, after all!
Talos Posted June 9, 2009 Posted June 9, 2009 Instead, how about this: It's weightless Evil. This IS 0G, after all! But not massless evil!
505thAirborne Posted June 9, 2009 Posted June 9, 2009 Hope you never get bored pf compliments Talos, cause that one is too cool!!!!
SchizophrenicMC Posted June 9, 2009 Posted June 9, 2009 But not massless evil! Do you do anything besides VF-4s? I mean, after a while, the same design gets sickening to me... I'm not sure about anyone else. Don't get me wrong, your work is amazing, but... It feels... Limited?
Talos Posted June 9, 2009 Posted June 9, 2009 Do you do anything besides VF-4s? I mean, after a while, the same design gets sickening to me... I'm not sure about anyone else. Don't get me wrong, your work is amazing, but... It feels... Limited? Yes, I do. However the only template that I have finished, and finished to my standards, is my new second-generation VF-4 one, so I've been updating a lot of my old VF-4 drawings, which is what you see here. The only all new one was SVF-32. This Southeast Asia one, for example, was one of the first ones I did last year and badly in need of an update. It takes a really long time to finish the shading, the highlighting, and the minute detail. This is the one I'm currently on my way to finishing. I still need to draw, color, and shade it's cockpit, plus finish the shading. The only other finished templates I have are real-world military aircraft. I guess since I'm doing new squadrons and really changing up the markings, most of them drawn from scratch, it's keeping me from being bored with the design.

Hey, don't give me this "Takes a long time" crap! Up till just recently, I did all my stuff in MSPAINT! So, if I can do what I did in MSPaint, you can do what you do in GIMP.
Talos Posted June 9, 2009 Posted June 9, 2009 Hey, don't give me this "Takes a long time" crap! Up till just recently, I did all my stuff in MSPAINT! So, if I can do what I did in MSPaint, you can do what you do in GIMP. It still takes time! Mostly because I can't sit down and do most of it in one go anymore like I was before I started to work. Now I'm lucky to get a half an hour to work on it at a time. That does, inevitably, lead to extending the timeframe needed for completion.
Wolfman Posted June 9, 2009 Posted June 9, 2009 I'm still waiting for the next VF-4 from Talos, and several VF-11s from hellohikaru.
Fatalist Posted June 9, 2009 Posted June 9, 2009 I'm still waiting for the next VF-4 from Talos, and several VF-11s from hellohikaru. Wow! A little demanding aren't we? In the time that you spend waiting, you could learn how to do these yourself and have (near) instant gratification. Hop to it!!
SchizophrenicMC Posted June 9, 2009 Posted June 9, 2009 Wow! A little demanding aren't we? In the time that you spend waiting, you could learn how to do these yourself and have (near) instant gratification. Hop to it!! Good point. I've been working on my GIMP skills, lately. An example:
SchizophrenicMC Posted June 10, 2009 Posted June 10, 2009 It's Bizarro World Macross! :lol: OOOOOH EEEEEEEEH OOOOOOOOOOH
Fatalist Posted June 10, 2009 Posted June 10, 2009 Ya know.....that kinda works. But still freaky...sorta.
Wolfman Posted June 10, 2009 Posted June 10, 2009 It's Bizarro World Macross! :lol: Got the other modes in those schemes?
anime52k8 Posted June 13, 2009 Posted June 13, 2009 It's Bizarro World Macross! :lol: that actually works... really well... like better than the correct version... freaky. the YF-19 reminds me of roy's DYRL? 1S for some reason.
anime52k8 Posted June 13, 2009 Posted June 13, 2009 Do you do anything besides VF-4s? technically, this isn't a VF-4... RIGHT? my original VF lives, and I finally got around to doing some shading! SVF-1 in vintage SW1 colors.
anime52k8 Posted June 13, 2009 Posted June 13, 2009 also Jolly Roggers... Also, a question for Talos. With your work, do you make the squadron emblems yourself or do you get them from some place?
Talos Posted June 13, 2009 Posted June 13, 2009 also Jolly Roggers... Also, a question for Talos. With your work, do you make the squadron emblems yourself or do you get them from some place? Mix of the two, actually. Recently I've been doing more and more drawn ones, like SVF-32 and some I haven't uploaded yet, like SVF-14 Tophatters. I can share if there's any you need.
Wolfman Posted June 13, 2009 Posted June 13, 2009 I'm guessing that the VF-400 is the "VF-4 Redux" I've heard about. Am I correct?

Mike, I just jizzed in my pants. I'm guessing that the VF-400 is the "VF-4 Redux" I've heard about. Am I correct? And, yeah, the thread about it is somewhere around here in Fan Works.
hobbes221 Posted June 14, 2009 Posted June 14, 2009 Outstanding stuff anime53k8, love the low-vis -84 bird. You and Talos, all your work is Sierra Hotel for sure!
Talos Posted June 14, 2009 Posted June 14, 2009 Outstanding stuff anime53k8, love the low-vis -84 bird. You and Talos, all your work is Sierra Hotel for sure! Thanks, hobbes! I had actually updated my VF-84 VF-4 already, I haven't posted it, though, since I want to do a low-vis one first in line with the other VF-4 squadron profiles I've been doing. My Jolly Rogers plane is a VF-103. Got one more low-vis for that to finish before SVF-103 is done, then have to finish SVF-14 and one more and I'll post them all. Consider this a preview of SVF-84 Vagabonds.
chillyche Posted June 14, 2009 Posted June 14, 2009 Awesome, Mike. You knew I was a fan of the design, but the coloring is great, too.
Talos Posted June 23, 2009 Posted June 23, 2009 Recently, I've been collaborating with another artist on doing Martin XB-51 Panther profiles, so I've had the VF-4 and other new Macross projects on the backburner. Anyway, I managed to get one of the three squadrons done, so here's SVF-103 Jolly Rogers in their modified markings compared to their VF-1 days. And here's an example of the XB-51 I've been helping on.
Zinjo Posted June 24, 2009 Posted June 24, 2009 (edited) That VF-400 really is a sexy plane... Though, considering its a redesign using 2059 tech, shouldn't the insignia be the NUNS? Edited June 24, 2009 by Zinjo
anime52k8 Posted June 24, 2009 Posted June 24, 2009 That VF-400 really is a sexy plane... Though, considering its a redesign using 2059 tech, shouldn't the insignia be the NUNS? yeah, if you want an in universe explanation... the NUNS insignia seen in frontier is the insignia of the Macross 25 fleet defense arm and is unique to the frontier fleet, just like how all of the Galaxy's planes have that cool G marking. the rest of the NUNS forces continue to use the older insignia. yeah, that's it. really it's because the New NUNS logo is lame and the flying kite is the only marking cool enough to for it
hobbes221 Posted June 24, 2009 Posted June 24, 2009 really it's because the New NUNS logo is lame and the flying kite is the only marking cool enough to for it seconded

Everyone else uses NUNS.
Talos Posted June 24, 2009 Posted June 24, 2009 Hmm, now what do we have here... Very early in the WiP stage.
