anime52k8 Posted September 1, 2008 Posted September 1, 2008 (edited) here's a couple since I haven't seen anybody doing frontier stuff yet. first one's Alto, second ones the same thing but in purple (don't know why but I like it in purple). and last one's the line art I used (modified version of joseph's). I probably should have asked him before hand but hopefully he's ok with me posting modified versions of his line art I'm also working on lineart+color for michel, luca, and ozma Edited September 1, 2008 by anime52k8
Wolfman Posted September 3, 2008 Posted September 3, 2008 Hey, Mr. March, check out what Talos did! Does it give you some ideas?

Still waiting to see side lineart for the VF-25 versions. Thanks for sharing.
grss1982 Posted September 3, 2008 Posted September 3, 2008 This one with speculative carrier type undercarriage and folding ventral fin..your artist fooling around SAAB reference. SAAB = Space: Above & Beyond
Talos Posted September 5, 2008 Posted September 5, 2008 While I finish up the SVMF(AW)-224 Bengals and SVMF-214 Blacksheep Marine VF-4s, here's the VF-4A in Skull Squadron markings from Flashback 2012. I've already corrected the nameplate on the canopy, but I don't have an updated .png of it yet. It's now marked "Cpt. H. Ichijyo".
spooky Posted September 6, 2008 Posted September 6, 2008 Could you please repost the old cg's of the vf-1a squadrons. Those were super classic! Thanks! Keep up the good work!
Mr March Posted September 6, 2008 Posted September 6, 2008 Hey, Mr. March, check out what Talos did! Does it give you some ideas? lol So many customs and so little time
Talos Posted September 7, 2008 Posted September 7, 2008 Tweaked the FB 2012 Skull Squadron VF-4 and finished the Marine SVMF-214 and SVMF-224 VF-4s.
Wolfman Posted September 8, 2008 Posted September 8, 2008 That rocks, Talos! Here's an image I found elsewhere on the web that might inspire you.
Talos Posted September 9, 2008 Posted September 9, 2008 I updated the DYRL Skull Squadron VF-4s with new markings and roundels as well as added Max and Hikaru's.
Mr March Posted September 9, 2008 Posted September 9, 2008 VF-24 side view, with wing the YF-21. Wow, great work joseph. That is nice.
007-vf1 Posted September 10, 2008 Posted September 10, 2008 I updated the DYRL Skull Squadron VF-4s with new markings and roundels as well as added Max and Hikaru's. I am sure you know that Roy and Hayao were dead by the time the VF-4 was mass produced and Max has a full colored blue VF-4 and gone on it's own campaign with Millia..right ? Just noting some little details...

Just noting some little details... Yeah, I know. The idea is that these were reservist squadron VF-4s used for the filming of "DYRL?" circa 2031. They had a hard time finding VF-1s that were still flight-worthy, so they used these as stand-ins for close-up cockpit shots by the second crew. Besides, even if I wasn't, they'd still be interesting "What-if?"s... (And I don't remember Max getting a blue VF-4 {edit, nevermind. Macross M3 XD}. I did draw one a few pages back, along with a red-painted Milia one and Hikaru TV white.) Edited September 14, 2008 by Talos
anime52k8 Posted September 14, 2008 Posted September 14, 2008 Ok, finally got back to work on these things. Finished Michel's and the 25G line art. Also I’m halfway done with my VF-25F profile line art. I've been basing mine for the most part of the side view photo of the Bandai model kit. Eventually I'll finish the 25S and RVF-25 I promised, but right now I'm focusing on something funky I really want to try.
meninge Posted September 14, 2008 Posted September 14, 2008 OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHHH MY GOOOOOOODDD GREAT GREAT GREAT WORK!!!!! PLEASE CONTINUE THE VF-25 side view!!!!!
Talos Posted September 14, 2008 Posted September 14, 2008 Was going to hold off on posting this until I had another 1 or 2 done, but I may as well get this up now.
anime52k8 Posted September 15, 2008 Posted September 15, 2008 the newest thing I've finished... VF-25A "Sheryl Guard" (i.e. minmei guard moon act) I had this weird compultion to do this, so I did. and it was one of the most painful photoshop experiances I've ever had... and yet now I want to do a Ranka Paris act version... anyway's I'll try to get back to the side lineart now.
Talos Posted September 16, 2008 Posted September 16, 2008 JSDF-style blue camo for the VF-4 Lightning III.
daeudi Posted September 17, 2008 Posted September 17, 2008 I would be interested seeing these in fighter mode with these colors.... I think I got it right.
Talos Posted September 17, 2008 Posted September 17, 2008 Has anyone seen hellohikaru in a while? He popped into my thread on Sci-fi Meshes last week, that's the last I've seen him on.
SeminNV Posted September 17, 2008 Posted September 17, 2008 (edited) Hi all! This is nice thread! I am planning do modeling of VF-4 lightning III soon, so does anyone have pics or schemes or better movies, explaining the transformation sequence? I looked through the thread, Fan Works, and already picked up some pics, but it is not enough for complete understanding. Thanks! Edited September 17, 2008 by SeminNV
Darrtallion Posted September 18, 2008 Posted September 18, 2008 the only thing I can give you one that is this
David Hingtgen Posted September 18, 2008 Posted September 18, 2008 I have bigger copies of the transformation sequence, attached at bottom of post. Also, check the SHE kit's instructions: http://macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?act=...st&id=36537 http://macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?act=...st&id=36538 http://macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?act=...st&id=36539
badboy00z Posted September 18, 2008 Posted September 18, 2008 What's a good, free, all in one program that's easy to use for a beginner? I would use MS paint but it doesn't have the snap to point function where you can start a new line from the end point of a previous line. I have trouble placing lines where another one left off.
anime52k8 Posted September 18, 2008 Posted September 18, 2008 What's a good, free, all in one program that's easy to use for a beginner? I would use MS paint but it doesn't have the snap to point function where you can start a new line from the end point of a previous line. I have trouble placing lines where another one left off. huh? to make line art? to color with? I cant think of anything that's good AND free. MS paint is the last thing to use. for making line art you really need Adobe Illustrator or CorelDraw. anything less really won't yield good results. also you can make line art in Photoshop, but it's tedious as hell and not as good, I just do it because I suck at Illustrator.
Talos Posted September 19, 2008 Posted September 19, 2008 I use Microsoft Publisher for my lineart. It takes a bit of work to get good-looking results, but it can be done. Here are the Angel Birds VF-4, including custom unit crest and logo, and the redone SVF-111 Sundowners.
anime52k8 Posted September 19, 2008 Posted September 19, 2008 very cool talos, so does the AB VF-4 still look like a school girl uniform in Batroid mode?
Talos Posted September 19, 2008 Posted September 19, 2008 very cool talos, so does the AB VF-4 still look like a school girl uniform in Batroid mode? Thanks, k8. I would think that it would still. I tried to adjust the scheme to take into account the transformation of the VF-4.

Wolfman Posted September 22, 2008 Posted September 22, 2008 Hey, Mr. March, could you do the Fighter and Gerwalk Modes of the Target VF-1J from Macross Plus, whenever you find the time to do so?
