Ace Combat Valkyries

[Kelsain]

OK, since we were talking about it in the Character Art Thread, but it's not character art...

Back when Ace Combat came out, I downloaded the high-resolution sections of the YF-19 and VF-1S featured on their website. I took the time to stitch together them, with the intent of posting them here.

Apparently, I never did. Sorry 'bout that! So, here's the VF-1S:

OK, the file size was just too big, I guess. Sampled it down a little bit.

And before Frontier was announced I WAS working on a 25th Anniversary wallpaper. Life happened and I forgot about it. Luckily, I had it backed up when my hard drive crashed! So here's my 25 years of Skull Squadron wall:

I can alter the resolution if there are particular requests.

It was a video game that came out a couple years ago, allowing you to play as Valks, Gundams, and a whole lot of other giant robots I don't actually recognize. Others here likely know more than me about the gameplay and the other robots. I just know it had a neat trailer and high-res pics of some of the mecha. It was only viewable in flash, however. So, to get the high-res pic, I screen-grabbed each section, and stitched them together in Photoshop. After that, I decided to alther the 19 to Roy's colors.

Lovely work. Though someday I'll hopefully upload the set with transparent backgrounds.

And actually it's not Ace Combat but "A.C.E." standing for "Another Century Episode". There are three games total. Macross doesn't make an appearance until the second game; SDF Macross and DYRL in ACE 2 & 3, and Macross Plus in ACE 3. Just some useless knowledge for those who don't know

Here's the opening from the third game with a bit of the in-game intro: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VrHICGmO4SQ&fmt=18

Find your way through this page. It's very enlightening. Feel free to just scroll until you see something you like.

The opening movie is awesome (Go cuz!!!), but when it got to gmaeply why are the characters done so... Painfully?

It was also as bad as flash?

Why not go for something like Enix-style FF animation? I mean, they did everything else top notch, why slack off on the characters?

No offense was intended.

Oh man that opening is sooooo cool I wish I had that game it has mechs that I recognized from the UC Gundams, Gundam X, Gundam Seed, Gundam Wing, Martian Successor Nedesico the Prince of Darkness, Macross, and Macross Plus , and Eureka Seven
