hellohikaru Posted November 20, 2003 Posted November 20, 2003 Fatalist Is this the one I assume you mean the black on the nose is the anti-glare trim around the canopy ?
Fatalist Posted November 20, 2003 Posted November 20, 2003 That would be the one!! Theres some nice angles on the link i provided with more modern versions of that, but thats basically it. Note: as far as I can tell from what I've read, that all black F14D that they have is the LAST F-14 produced EVER. So thats it. The scheme migrated nicely to the f-18 IMO.

amegari_hikaru Posted November 27, 2003 Posted November 27, 2003 hey joshep, don't you dare to stealth my VF-19XS!!!!!, well i guess taht's ok since you desing them at the firts place
hellohikaru Posted November 27, 2003 Posted November 27, 2003 I was finally able to complete something!! This is something i learned from the fantastic tutorial by Jeff Sorley. First the shading
the white drew carey Posted November 27, 2003 Author Posted November 27, 2003 Excellent work, Mon Capitan!!! Just a little constructive criticism: -I think the wing's shadow should be a tad wider, as it currently looks, it makes the wing look uber-skinny. I have this problem a lot as well, and you just need to keep fiddling with it. But the actual shading and technique is perfect. -You should possibly add a bt of shadow along the underside of the fuselage and legs as well. That'll give a stronger effect of an overhead light source. Doing this, in conjunction with the wing's shadow, will really complete the effect.
hellohikaru Posted November 27, 2003 Posted November 27, 2003 Thanks for the tip Jeff. Should the wing shadows appear on the ventral fins also as they are also longer than VF-1 wings ?
the white drew carey Posted November 27, 2003 Author Posted November 27, 2003 Should the wing shadows appear on the ventral fins also as they are also longer than VF-1 wings ? Nah. What I sometimes do with the ventral fins is a gentle shading from top to bottom, since they are on the underside of the leg and the base of the fin will probably be somewhat shadowed. But unless the wing is unusually large, I don't bother putting the wing shadow in the ventrals.
the white drew carey Posted November 27, 2003 Author Posted November 27, 2003 Here's a little critique I did for your VF-3000. Keep in mind that it is constructive criticism. I do think you are doing an incredibly wonderful job and am only trying to help refine your skills.
hellohikaru Posted November 28, 2003 Posted November 28, 2003 (edited) Hey Jeff Keep the critisism coming I actually enjoy getting feedback especially from someone of your calibre. Here is the shading now...i had to add a new layer as i had merged the old set. Edited November 28, 2003 by hellohikaru
hellohikaru Posted November 28, 2003 Posted November 28, 2003 (edited) And of course the Nova Scheme. btw how does the M3 Milia and Max scheme look like ? I have no reference for the leg and any indication of the word U.N.SPACY anywhere... Anyone care to try ? Edited November 28, 2003 by hellohikaru
Aegis! Posted November 28, 2003 Posted November 28, 2003 Very nice work indeed Wonder if anyone is willing to make some VF-5000 for us fans
amegari_hikaru Posted November 29, 2003 Posted November 29, 2003 i totally agree!!!, i'm so jelouse of you... you really know how to use photoshop.... it would be very nice if you make a black of de VF-19S (Side)!!!!! my favorite VF!! PD: sorry for my poor english

PD: sorry for my poor english Thanks...and your english is fine. I think more people should try their own fanart. 6 months ago i don't even know how to use photoshop(and still learning as i go) and until about 1 month ago i can't do any shading. That excellent tutorial by Jeff Sorley is very helpful and the concepts can even be applied even if you use programs other than photoshop. black of de VF-19S ?I assume you mean blank ? I have one in the planning stage but just need time to complete it.

I have one in the planning stage but just need time to complete it. i know... , but i guess it's so much easier to ask someone with more practice that make one for mi self… . And I tried to make scheme color for my VFs (especially for my Fan Fiction) but it’s too damn difficult!!!! And I can wait to see your VF-19 Blank!!!! (je je) That’s it… see ya!!!
hellohikaru Posted December 6, 2003 Posted December 6, 2003 Description: As the UN Spacy was eager to show off its newest valks the VF-3000G was selected as the next VF to fly displays with the Angel Birds. Despite operational problems with joint slippage the Angel Birds were not too concern as they did their displays in fighter mode. However production of the Crusader was terminated after just a rather modest number of units(190~200 ?) and there never seem enough of them to go around. This coupled with field unit attriction and expensive maintenance cost mean after just 10 displays with the type the Angel Birds were forced to relinquish them and revert back to their trusty VF-1s before their eventual switch to the VF-4.
amegari_hikaru Posted December 10, 2003 Posted December 10, 2003 C´Mon people , What about the VF-5000 !!! je je je.. Aegis from the Macross Team of Animeportal.cl ?... i know tha you are!!!
hellohikaru Posted December 13, 2003 Posted December 13, 2003 (edited) Been busy lately but here is my all new VF-11 scheme using the blank supplied by Nied. Next will be SVF-33 and a blank for the SAP. Updated image. Edited January 4, 2004 by hellohikaru
Fatalist Posted December 13, 2003 Posted December 13, 2003 Now THATS what I'm talkin about. Sweet job!
Angel's Fury Posted December 14, 2003 Posted December 14, 2003 Those are mad skills there hellohikaru, the white drew carey! Keep up the good work!
Nied Posted December 14, 2003 Posted December 14, 2003 Been busy lately but here is my all new VF-11 scheme using the blank supplied by Nied. Next will be SVF-33 and a blank for the SAP.Updated image. Holy Crap!! That's from my blank? That's some great work hellohikaru!
Chaser617 Posted December 16, 2003 Posted December 16, 2003 Very Nice, what sort of programs, other than photoshop, could be used to do this?
hellohikaru Posted December 16, 2003 Posted December 16, 2003 Thank you.. Many programs are available that can do this kind of work...like Paint Shop Pro(much cheaper than PSD) and the gimp(freeware). Try the freeware stuff first.
hellohikaru Posted December 16, 2003 Posted December 16, 2003 (edited) This is the best i can do with my limited skill tracing a blank for the Valkyrie II. I accept all comments, destructive and constructive critisism. Try color it Edited December 17, 2003 by hellohikaru
hellohikaru Posted December 16, 2003 Posted December 16, 2003 Here is the instruction sheet i traced. It looks like the Bandai one but i had to make some "adjustments" to make it look better. Why is the gun so low compared with WM Cheng's model ?
uminoken Posted December 16, 2003 Posted December 16, 2003 (edited) Wow, maybe I should get into this photoshop thing......most of my work has been actually going in and coloring pixel by pixel (yah, I'm bored alot) with no shading in MS paint lol! Right now I've got a couple schemes of the Pheyos, the VF-0D and I'm working on several for the SV-51, but photoshop sounds a WHOLE LOT easier *edit* Just looked at the price for Photoshop Is this $600 program the same you're talking about? They have a link for a 30-day trial, but I'd rather have something more concrete Edited December 16, 2003 by uminoken
