Hikaru84 Posted August 15, 2012 Posted August 15, 2012 Hi, I am new to the forum and I wanted to share some of my Macross illustrations here in Macross World. I used to be a big anime fan but I left it aside for studio scale modeling and illustrating aircraft, but now I am back and I am working on some Mospeda sketches, ( based on my recently aquired Cyclone Masterpice jajaja ) that's not ready yet but here are some Macross, MacrossII and Megazone 23 illustrations I did: I hope you like my style Bests Uploaded with ImageShack.us Uploaded with ImageShack.us Uploaded with ImageShack.us Uploaded with ImageShack.us Uploaded with ImageShack.us Bests: Rod Quote
UN Spacy Posted August 15, 2012 Posted August 15, 2012 Very nicely done. I love the coloring. Welcome to the MW forums. Quote
Hikaru84 Posted August 15, 2012 Author Posted August 15, 2012 Thanks guys! I had always been a die hard Cyclone fan, I must say it is one of my favorite mecha designs of all times, together with the Millennium Falcon and Vader's design ( a Star Wars die hard fan too) I do not know why it took me so long to buy a Beagle Cyclone ( maybe the price ) but the more I look at it now that I have one the more I want to draw it. I'll try two different kinds of illustrations, a Cell like type trying to make it look just as the old Mospeada cells and a more relistic one too. The realistic type takes ages to finish though. I've read some posts on the CM's mospeadas, I belong to the side that loved them. I realized the bike is the same as the old Imai-Aoshima transformable kits. The pilot is different, it does not have such huge boots but the pilots don't fit on the bike properly anyway, thats a shame. But the Ride Armour looks so great and the figures of the characters riding the bikes without armor just rock! Here is a sample of the Cell type illustration I was talking about, based on the Beagle Mospeada: I still need to finish coloring it and this Cyclone goes on a bigger illustration with two more Cyclones, Scott's and Rook Cyclone and some Invid behind, or at least that is my plan. I'll post it when it is ready. Bests: Rod Quote
EXO Posted August 15, 2012 Posted August 15, 2012 Rod... that is awesome... that's a box cover design if I ever saw one! Quote
Dobber Posted August 15, 2012 Posted August 15, 2012 Wonderful art! Minmay sure did grow up nice!! Chris Quote
Benson13 Posted August 16, 2012 Posted August 16, 2012 Wonderful art! Minmay sure did grow up nice!! Chris That's EXACTLY what I was thinking. Quote
Tober Posted August 16, 2012 Posted August 16, 2012 Beautiful work! Do you have an online gallery? Quote
Ganbare Posted August 16, 2012 Posted August 16, 2012 Lovely work XD Are you member of deviantart? 'Coz I've seen it in Macross/Robotech group. Especially Minmay on the cockpit Quote
PetarB Posted August 16, 2012 Posted August 16, 2012 Some really nice work there. As others mentioned, the Minmei one is very nice. But I also quite like your execution in old cell-style in the one above it that looks like it's done in markers. Quote
Hikaru84 Posted August 16, 2012 Author Posted August 16, 2012 (edited) Hi guys, thanks. I have a gallery at DeviantArt as Ganbare said : http://hikaru84.deviantart.com/ I also have a website with my friend and colleague Rodrigo, ART-2 Models were we show our Star Wars resin kits. http://www.art2models.cl/#/content/start/ At the DeviantArt gallery you can see some aircraft illustrations, like the one of the F5 Tiger III, that's the kind of realistic illustration I would like to do for a Mospeada but it takes a lot of time, time I do not have right know so I am just looking for a cool pose for the Cyclone drawing taking tons of pics to the Beagle Mospeada to have an idea ready for when I have the time to start such a long illustration project. I take suggestions for the Cyclone pose ! I hope you enjoy the galleries. Bests: Rod Edited August 16, 2012 by Hikaru84 Quote
Capt Hungry Posted August 16, 2012 Posted August 16, 2012 Gorgeous work! I love how you stuck to old style of anime too. Very nice! Quote
Mr March Posted August 16, 2012 Posted August 16, 2012 I've seen some of your stuff elsewhere (likely on DeviantArt, since I often visit there) but it's always great to see more. Your work is very good. Bravo! I like the Mospeada bike in the cell style. Incredible work. Quote
Mommar Posted August 17, 2012 Posted August 17, 2012 I like the way you did the SDF-1 in that first pic. Quote
mechaninac Posted August 17, 2012 Posted August 17, 2012 Wow! Great stuff; there is an icredible amount of authenticity to your portrayal of the characters, as if they were drawn by the original artists -- except for the one with Minmay in the cockpit, that's just Va-va-va-voom! Quote
Hikaru84 Posted August 17, 2012 Author Posted August 17, 2012 Thanks again guys Mr March, I do have a DeviantArt gallery, the link is here: http://hikaru84.deviantart.com/ Mechanic said: Wow! Great stuff; there is an icredible amount of authenticity to your portrayal of the characters, as if they were drawn by the original artists -- except for the one with Minmay in the cockpit, that's just Va-va-va-voom! Thanks Mechanic, I did tons of Mikimoto drawings because I love his style, but my own style comes out if I am not looking to Mikimoto's art so the Minamy Pin-up is more like I draw stuff. Benson13 said: Great work. Do you do commissions? A thousand apologies to you Benson13 for not answering before. I do accept commissions, it all depends on my time and what you have in mind mate. I will be posting more Mospeada stuff soon. Bests: Rod Quote
JET7 Posted August 18, 2012 Posted August 18, 2012 great work! Im sure hikaru is kicking his butt when she sees minmay grown that hotness.. now can you that pose to the "old lady" Quote
Frogze Posted August 18, 2012 Posted August 18, 2012 Very good stuff, your Mospeada is really cool!! Quote
EXO Posted August 18, 2012 Posted August 18, 2012 Frogze and Rod have my artist juices flowing again. Reminds me of the first time I joined MW and BoB and Omni Existence and others use to post a ton of art here. Great stuff. Quote
nel2012 Posted August 21, 2012 Posted August 21, 2012 your drawings are amazing, I think I ´ve seen some at DeviantArt, am I correct?? Quote
Hikaru84 Posted August 23, 2012 Author Posted August 23, 2012 Hi guys, and girls... Thanks for your comments Im sure hikaru is kicking his butt when she sees minmay grown that hotness.. now can you that pose to the "old lady" Jajajaj, Jet7. It wouldn't be a bad idea to do a sexy Lisa, she was quite a beauty too, maybe on the space suite she used on mars? Right now I am drawing a Rook, not as hot as Minmay, but sexy and on her even hoter Cyclone. I'll post it when ready. Saludos a Gian compatriota y a Nel2012, hermana Argentinaa! Cool Rod Quote
Valkyrie Magnus Posted September 5, 2012 Posted September 5, 2012 Love the art! Love the Minmay! Good job! Quote
chillyche Posted September 6, 2012 Posted September 6, 2012 Awesome. Do you need yet another person to tell you, cuz I'll tell you. Awesome. Quote
