my playing in Photoshop

[ltla9000311]

Hello everyone, long time lurker, so I figured I would make my first post to kind of introduce myself.

I have had my fingers in most kinds of modeling and art over the years. Lately I have been designing and building (very poorly) paper models. I have gotten back into plastic modeling again, but I have no area to work in. No place to put a desk for building physically, so I have turned to the digital spectrum.

This particular picture was redrawn right over a scanned page from my Macross Perfect Memory book. I had wanted to draw it since I first saw it in 1985 when I picked up my copy of MPM. Fast forward 29 years and here is my digital result.

Very cool

Just check the illumination... seems like there are multiple sources of light (From above and below) and some in the rear.

Yep I noticed that myself in the original drawing. I was trying to reproduce the original as close as possible with my limited skills. If I can find the scan.....

I Love them!

Always a fan of SD valks.

Can't wait to see more.

No pressure but there are like over a dozen now...

Thank you!

Absolutely amazing work! I know well of this image from my own copy of the Macross Perfect Memory art book.

For reasons that I assume are obvious, I love the drawing and coloring you've done for these pictures. I also really appreciate that you created a several variants (again, just my MO). Your colors are spot on as far as I can tell, which I'm hoping you accept as high praise from an amateur colorist like myself. Typically I'm not a fan of SD, but I just adore what you've done here. I'd love to host these images on my website if you'll permit me.

Again, bravo!

And welcome to the Macross World community. You've made one helluva introduction!

Oh, I also noted you've used the VT-1 Super Ostrich GERWALK colored line art from my website as your avatar. In the next version of my website I have built a far superior revised colored version of that line art which I'm sure will please you. I don't want to spoil anyone by sharing the full image until the update is released, but I'm happy to provide a small thumbnail image ideal for your Macross World avatar. I hope you like it.

Nice. Why reverse the kite colors?

[Gerli]

To avoid problems with HG?

Lawls,Zinjoffrey!

No pimpin' going on here (as Bill Withers begins to play...)

I want to spread the news
That if it feels this good getting used
You just keep on using me
Until you use me up

I apologize for the late reply, please do host them! I would be honored!

Mr. March, I did not realize that was your work. Thank you for the early use of your work! I love it!!!

Nice. Why reverse the kite colors?

I didn't realize I had. I will have a look at the original scan..... Knowing me, I did it in a late night session.

Nice. Why reverse the kite colors?

I remember now, the initial recolor I did was the red Miriya version. The roundel on the kite blended in to the rest of the color . It looked odd. I then forgot to change it back in the other versions. Thank you for pointing that out. When I can get the time I will correct the others.

[Mr March]

Awesome. And thanks for the kind words. I look forward to more of your excellent work.
