hellohikaru Posted August 20, 2009 Posted August 20, 2009 SchizophrenicMC Well, I guess I'm easily impressed because I like it. Don't be too hard on yourself either, that picture of the VF-171 Nightmare Plus on my website is rather lousy picture (it's like first generation pic from way back before Macross Frontier started). So it's not like you've got something great to begin work with hellohikaru I love it! Wonderful scheme and very different from the others. Once again you've outdone yourself. But now I have to download your two white and grey Howlers now Talos Ah, some new real world aircraft. Very nicely done. I like the brown and grey one. Thanks. I'll probably do just a couple more of these Howlers then its something else. Got this done recently..VAQ-131
SchizophrenicMC Posted August 20, 2009 Posted August 20, 2009 Practice is all you need, which brings patience with it too. You're doing pretty well on recoloring those linearts, so try experimenting and see what you come up with. That's how I figured out half the things I do now. Maybe I need practice, but consider that my only methodolgy is free select and colorize. Practicing the wrong thing won't get you anywhere.

hellohikaru Posted August 20, 2009 Posted August 20, 2009 End of the Line...My last 2 VE-3s as planned.
SchizophrenicMC Posted August 20, 2009 Posted August 20, 2009 End of the Line...My last 2 VE-3s as planned. Great way to end it, man.
Talos Posted August 20, 2009 Posted August 20, 2009 Would someone be willing to do some VF-1's and VF-4's in Air Force markings? Heres what I had in mind: 366th Operations Group (Tail code: "MO") 389th Fighter Squadron 390th Fighter Squadron 391st Fighter Squadron 428th Fighter Squadron Sorry it's taken awhile, I was on vacation in Tokyo, but here's a start.
Damian Posted August 21, 2009 Posted August 21, 2009 Well after a long while it seems I'm now able to log on and stay on. As Talos and hellohikaru can attest I've been on a South African Navy theme for a bit and have been trying to improve my skills somewhat. I may make a foray back into the world of Macross soon

I may make a foray back into the world of Macross soon You know what you're still missing, though, right? SAN VF-0s! Obviously part of the UN. XD
Talos Posted August 24, 2009 Posted August 24, 2009 Here, or at Whatifmodelers, Talos? Hmm? I was saying he should do the VF-0 again, since his skills have improved. His SAAF and SAN stuff is all over at Whatifmodelers.
Wolfman Posted August 26, 2009 Posted August 26, 2009 By the way, regarding the 366th, the 428th what, FS, or something else?
Mr March Posted August 28, 2009 Posted August 28, 2009 End of the Line...My last 2 VE-3s as planned. hellohikaru Great work yet again! I especially like the blue guy. It's good to hear you'll be changing it up. I love your VE-3 Howler, but I'd definitely welcome some variety.
SchizophrenicMC Posted August 29, 2009 Posted August 29, 2009 No offense to Talos, but I've decided I hate the VF-4. It is easily my least favorite valk. Before, I kinda liked it, but now, I think even the VF-9 is cooler. Talos, man, I think your work is amazing, but its central focus on the VF-4 and you releasing so much of it over time has just driven me away from it... So, yeah, that's about it. I hate the Lightning III. To be on-topic, I've got something cool in the works. Be sure to remember I jack my stuff from March, so anything beyond the colorscheme and the design (ie shading, canopy, cleaning) are his work. I'm not good enough for that.

I hate the Lightning III. *cough* The only reason I haven't finished any other templates recently is that I've been far in a mood to do markings instead of the trudging grunt work of shading and highlighting. I'll finish the VF-19F pretty soon, just need to figure out the shading of the wing glove area and a few other things (plus do the cockpit interior). Besides, compared to the far over-done VF-1, the VF-4s always had the short end of the stick. Looking forward to what you have coming. Also, should point out that I've been focusing on realworld subjects recently and not Macross, like the AH-56A Cheyenne, P-61E, F3H-G/H, and B-51. Edited August 29, 2009 by Talos

I know that shyte's a lot of work. I only like the VF-1 after its over-focus because it actually has characterization. I mean, it's in all 36 episodes of SDFM, as well as DYRL? and I think every game. The VF-4's in a game, Flashback, and a few frames as a model in SDFM and DYRL? And we just don't see it do much. Anywho, I know you've been doing real stuff lately, but most of the stuff I've seen from you is the VF-4s... Doesn't mean I admire your work any less. This thing I'm doing requires a lot of Perspective tool...
SchizophrenicMC Posted October 2, 2009 Posted October 2, 2009 I recently joined the 405th Halo Costume Forum, and for my avatar, I made an ODST version of the 0S. It's my first time working with it, but I think I captured a lot of the ODST's flair... You know... Black on Black...
Wolfman Posted October 15, 2009 Posted October 15, 2009 First: SchizophrenicMC, got the Fighter and GERWALK modes for that? Second: Anime52k8, do do requests for the VF-400?
SchizophrenicMC Posted October 16, 2009 Posted October 16, 2009 Not yet, Wolfman. Workin' it step by step. However, it'll be a while, since I can't access my home PC right now.
Jasonc Posted October 16, 2009 Posted October 16, 2009 I have to say that I absolutely love the VA-3 designs. I'm odd here, but the VA-3 is one of my favorite valk designs because of the retro look to it, not to mention the fact that it's more of a valk designed for different mission types. You guys definitely have great ideas for color schemes. Keep em all coming. Hopefully if I get time ever, I'll do a few of my own.
anime52k8 Posted October 16, 2009 Posted October 16, 2009 First: SchizophrenicMC, got the Fighter and GERWALK modes for that? Second: Anime52k8, do do requests for the VF-400? maybe, what would you have in mind?
Wolfman Posted October 20, 2009 Posted October 20, 2009 VF-1 Wolfpack and VF-2 Bounty Hunters, Hi-viz. If at all possible, I'd like them assigned to the Macross Frontier Fleet.
mospeadamacrosstech Posted October 24, 2009 Posted October 24, 2009 I'm taking Photoshop classes next month for work! Can't wait to dive into this. Thanks for the tips.
Zinjo Posted October 24, 2009 Posted October 24, 2009 First: SchizophrenicMC, got the Fighter and GERWALK modes for that? Second: Anime52k8, do do requests for the VF-400? I have to admit, I am still a huge fan of the VF-400...
hellohikaru Posted October 24, 2009 Posted October 24, 2009 Glad to see more people in this thread. Not exactly Macross but i thought i had to share it with you guys These were originally done by Talos. I just updated the design abit.
SchizophrenicMC Posted November 3, 2009 Posted November 3, 2009 I have to admit, I am still a huge fan of the VF-400... This I like me a new spin on just about anything. The 400 is that new spin.
Talos Posted January 7, 2010 Posted January 7, 2010 Hmm, haven't posted anythere here in awhile. Some Macross stuff I've been toying with while working on a large project. The new VF-1 lineart is based on the one in the Master File book, but I'm going to detail it even more then that when I'm done. (And yes, ignore the head that's installed on the plane right now, that was a rough sizing, but I need to fit a VF-1A head properly onto it with it looking....dinky...like the Perfect Memory one. XD)
hellohikaru Posted January 7, 2010 Posted January 7, 2010 Nice to see Talos reviving this thread. Been away from Macrossworld too long now. Actually started on this awhile ago and still a long way to go. Talos has been kind enough to provide me with his latest revision of the VF-4 blank which is an absolutely gem. Stay tuned for more..

Talos Posted January 7, 2010 Posted January 7, 2010 so what is the bottom head supposed to be? It's the new VF-1D head from the manga Macross the First.
Talos Posted January 8, 2010 Posted January 8, 2010 Finished the base VF-1S, next up is the weapons, A/J/D models, and the cockpit interiors.
SchizophrenicMC Posted January 10, 2010 Posted January 10, 2010 so what is the bottom head supposed to be? I don't care, I just wants it. I always liked having more variant heads.
Damian Posted February 11, 2010 Posted February 11, 2010 Hmmm I really need to work on my VF-0 again don't I? d
