hobbes221 Posted February 14, 2009 Posted February 14, 2009 Does anyone have a hi-res side profile of the SV-51? Someone posted this - somewhere I don't remember where but this is the best I have hope it works for you. (man this seems to be all I'm doing today is posting pics for people, you guys are lucky that some of us save a bunch stuff )

Talos Posted February 17, 2009 Posted February 17, 2009 Nicely done! Once I finish up my Stratos 4 TSR-2s, I need to get back to working on some Valkyries. Hit me up with a PM and I can type out a rant on how to shade and highlight these.
IAD Posted February 18, 2009 Posted February 18, 2009 SV drawings... Nope, not mine, but I used them a lot... ~Luke
Wolfman Posted February 25, 2009 Posted February 25, 2009 Hey, Talos, what's the next Lightning going to be?
Talos Posted February 26, 2009 Posted February 26, 2009 Hey, Talos, what's the next Lightning going to be? Got a couple on the back-burner. First though, I'm doing some TSR-2s like this one:
badboy00z Posted February 27, 2009 Posted February 27, 2009 I did a VF-25F lineart and coloured it in ^^ And here are three I made: VF-25F Ranka v2 「Inspired by the Ranka decal set」 VF-25F Klein Klan 「クラン クラン」 VF-25F 「Stealth Gray」 Are you suppose to be able to see the vertical stabilizer in the background in what's suppose to be a full profile view?
Wolfman Posted March 16, 2009 Posted March 16, 2009 Mr. March, could I please have a VF-11C Thunderbolt III without the super packs?
Talos Posted March 21, 2009 Posted March 21, 2009 I recently started going back and redoing the shading on my VF-4, as well as redoing the major paths, since it was my first one done like that and I've learned a lot in the year since I first did it. Here's where I am right now, I'm slowly working my way back along the plane from the nose. I still haven't touched the highlighting yet, but I think the shading is much improved.

Talos Posted March 22, 2009 Posted March 22, 2009 This ought to be interesting. I have some surprises for it that I think you'll enjoy...
Wolfman Posted March 23, 2009 Posted March 23, 2009 I have some surprises for it that I think you'll enjoy... Now, this I've got to see.
anime52k8 Posted March 23, 2009 Posted March 23, 2009 Updated! Pilot! very cool. something about his helmet that doesn't quite look right.
Talos Posted March 23, 2009 Posted March 23, 2009 Thanks. I only had side views of the DYRL and Macross Zero helmets, so I had to guess everything, based on a couple of screen grabs I took from FB2012. It needs some work still, the sharp visor needs to be blunted and that kink taken out, and the angle of the chin needs to be lower. I also need to do better shoulders, since those are the Zero ones (I wanted to get something out to show). I'll probably go in the Macross 2036 and ELS route for improvements to it later.
Wolfman Posted April 4, 2009 Posted April 4, 2009 Hey, Damian, why don't you post those VF-11s you've done here?
Talos Posted April 5, 2009 Posted April 5, 2009 Thanks, Mr. March. I need to find some good lineart of the FB2012 uniform so I can redo it, though. There's only so much you can see in the animation.
hobbes221 Posted April 6, 2009 Posted April 6, 2009 (edited) I've got these if it helps at all. And man, you do great work! Edited April 6, 2009 by hobbes221
Talos Posted April 6, 2009 Posted April 6, 2009 I've got these if it helps at all. And man, you do great work! I actually dragged those three pages up last night, hobbes. Thanks, though, it's really appreciated.
Mr March Posted April 6, 2009 Posted April 6, 2009 Yeah, the reference should help. It's about the only pictures I've seen of the Flashback art. We might get some more in the Macross Chronicle.
Talos Posted April 7, 2009 Posted April 7, 2009 Yeah, they do. Looking at it, and remembering that I used the Zero helmet as a base, so I'm going for more of the 90% right on the helmet, it looks like most of what I saw in the animation was right. XD I'll tweak it, and do the proper FB2012 shoulders, but it shouldn't be too much of a problem.
Talos Posted April 7, 2009 Posted April 7, 2009 I got most of what I wanted done on the VF-4 and I've been sitting on this scheme and wanted to get it out, so this'll do until I redo the cockpit and tweak some other stuff. Call it version 1.8 instead of 2.0. Excerpt from VF-4 Lightning III 2012-2047: 35 Years of Service Fig. E: (White 8/199302) One of the most colorful Lightnings in active service is this example from Eden. Assigned to the aggressor unit for the New Edwards Test Flight Center, this particular VF-4 is painted in a striking purple and gold color scheme with markings from the pre-Space War I Anti-UN coalition. According to the unit historian, the first commander of the squadron was a veteran of SVF-1 Skull Squadron in the pre-war years and had his personal craft painted in the scheme of an Anti-UN pilot he had flown against. When the squadron replaced it's VF-1s with new VF-4s, he painted his new mount in the same scheme and it survived after his retirement a few years later. Even after the squadron transitioned to new types, this VF-4 was maintained until it was retired in 2042 and given to the New Edwards base museum for preservation and display. As a final honor for it, one of the squadron's newer VF-22S Sturmvogel IIs was painted in the same colors.
Wolfman Posted April 7, 2009 Posted April 7, 2009 (edited) Mr. March, I am repeating my request for a VF-11C without the FAST packs. Edited April 7, 2009 by Wolfman
Talos Posted April 7, 2009 Posted April 7, 2009 Thanks, Mr. March! Excerpt from VF-4 Lightning III 2012-2047: 35 Years of Service Figure B1 and B2: (403/189403 and 088/192088) Most long-range colony missions and planetary installations maintain a squadron of pilots with a secondary mission of providing OPFOR (Opposing Force) aggressor aircraft for pilot and gunnery training. On the Megaroad-8 mission and several others, the fighters were commonly painted in differing camouflage schemes or high-visibility schemes to set them apart from friendly craft. These two fighters display a pair of color variations of just one of the bewildering array of Megaroad-8 aggressor schemes. The blue craft displays the cobra head insignia common to many of the aggressor units deployed on colony missions, while the green and tan example was the commander’s craft and has a personal insignia, a Japanese kamon crest of a lotus (蓮) painted on the tail.
Mr March Posted April 7, 2009 Posted April 7, 2009 (edited) Nice! I like the blue and grey one. Mr. March, I am repeating my request for a VF-11C without the FAST packs. I never got your first one. Regardless, I can't accommodate. Edited April 7, 2009 by Mr March
Mr March Posted April 8, 2009 Posted April 8, 2009 woah, I just realized you changed your avatar. It happens every once in a while. The MAHQ recently upgraded their forums, so it made a good excuse to change up my avatar there and at the various boards I visit.
Wolfman Posted April 8, 2009 Posted April 8, 2009 Well, how about the GERWALK mode of my Darkbird VF-1J, then?
Talos Posted April 9, 2009 Posted April 9, 2009 Just something I'm working off-and-on on. Ignore the shading, the Ghost is new, the VF-0 is one of my earlier works and I need to start the shading/highlighting almost from scratch. More VF-4's coming soon, probably tomorrow.
