DeductiblyBonkers Posted March 4, 2015 Posted March 4, 2015 (Figured I should just make a combined thread for all stuff with regards to the Macross story I'm working on so may as well do that now.) Tryin' out different designs for a 19 variant, gave it a 171 head and I'm fairly happy with the results: thoughts? Quote
spanner Posted March 4, 2015 Posted March 4, 2015 yeah that looks pretty cool! what else you got to show off!? Quote
Mr March Posted March 4, 2015 Posted March 4, 2015 Thoughts? I have none. Emotional/sexual arrousal? Hells yeah! Seriously, that is awesome work. The detail is amazing and even looks drawn, like genuine line art. I had no idea that you were going to do something like this. I'm thrilled with the results. Bravo! Quote
Mommar Posted March 4, 2015 Posted March 4, 2015 What's the story about? And why does the 19 have a new head? Quote
DeductiblyBonkers Posted March 4, 2015 Author Posted March 4, 2015 What's the story about? And why does the 19 have a new head? I need to flesh things out some more, but at the moment its about a UN Spacy pilot getting assigned to a Macross-class successor and, naturally, falling into a love triangle with a fellow pilot and an old friend from flight school. Oh yeah and space battles with space monsters, can't forget the most important part. As for the new head, in-story its due to a few technical upgrades to the 19 frame within the fleet the story follows, but mainly its just so my protag's 19 is different enough from the other three 'hero' 19s.

DeductiblyBonkers Posted March 6, 2015 Author Posted March 6, 2015 Speaking of technical upgrades, here's what she looks like all armored up: Considering adding intake armor + some on the shield like on the 25, but i figure this is fine for now, eh? (maayybeee breast armor like the 25 too, been giving myself headaches all day trying to figure out how to make that look good and still transform though) Quote
Mr March Posted March 6, 2015 Posted March 6, 2015 Looking good. That's a smart position for those new torso/shoulder missile racks. I can already envision how they look in fighter mode. Clever! Quote
Mommar Posted March 9, 2015 Posted March 9, 2015 Looking good. That's a smart position for those new torso/shoulder missile racks. I can already envision how they look in fighter mode. Clever! You do realize those shoulder packs are just from the Frontier 19 right? Quote
Mr March Posted March 9, 2015 Posted March 9, 2015 You do realize those shoulder packs are just from the Frontier 19 right? No, I did not. I didn't realize that was official. Quote
Valkyrie Driver Posted March 9, 2015 Posted March 9, 2015 That's sexy. I really like the Armament FAST packs off the frontier set. Quote
DeductiblyBonkers Posted March 10, 2015 Author Posted March 10, 2015 (edited) That's sexy. I really like the Armament FAST packs off the frontier set. Thanks! Still need to figure out a definite time period for this to take place, but I figure that those shoulder missile racks wouldn't look too out of place regardless of whether its closer to Plus or Frontier. Not gonna try the Frontier 19s boosters until I figure that out though. Also, wasn't really aware of it at the time I made the thread, but would posting all of this in the Macross Fanfiction thread be better? Edited March 10, 2015 by DeductiblyBonkers Quote
Valkyrie Driver Posted March 11, 2015 Posted March 11, 2015 That might be a better place for it. Although, It gets a bit crowded with all the people posting ideas. Quote
Mommar Posted March 12, 2015 Posted March 12, 2015 No, I did not. I didn't realize that was official. Well, we've only ever seen them attached in animation in fighter mode. But the Bandai and Arcadia toys both have the shoulder packs mounted like that in Battroid. It might not be official but it's been a thing. Thanks!

It's easier for me to find. Quote

DeductiblyBonkers Posted March 18, 2015 Author Posted March 18, 2015 And here's the main characters that compose the central love triangle: I'm gonna have fun torturing testing these guys ^^ Quote
Valkyrie Driver Posted March 19, 2015 Posted March 19, 2015 Are you going to bork (kill, badly) one? I mean after the triangle resolves or as a resolution to said triangle (ala Guld)? I don't know why but I'm kind of a fan of borking characters... Quote

I don't know why but I'm kind of a fan of borking characters... Dunno yet! I certainly do enjoy borking characters when I can though, I'd say I give everyone a roughly 66% chance of survival.^^ Quote
DeductiblyBonkers Posted March 23, 2015 Author Posted March 23, 2015 Trying to settle on a paint scheme for Markus' 19 and I can't decide whether to go the usual Hero Red route or something more subdued, so here's what I have for the former so far: Quote
Mr March Posted March 23, 2015 Posted March 23, 2015 Very cool. Although shame on you for using the Master File schematic and not the older TIA one Quote
DeductiblyBonkers Posted March 23, 2015 Author Posted March 23, 2015 Very cool. Although shame on you for using the Master File schematic and not the older TIA one Hehe, just used what I had on hand. Once I finalize the scheme I'll go over those psds you sent. Quote
Mr March Posted March 23, 2015 Posted March 23, 2015 I'm just messing with ya, it looks perfect I actually don't know if the new YF-19/VF19 Excalibur schematics from the Master File are more or less correct than the old This Is Animation schematics. And I certainly understand that most folks won't have those old books. They look about the same to me, though the VFMF schematics feature a little more detail. Although since we are on the subject, I have noticed that the VF-1 Valkyrie fighter mode schematics in the Master File are a little off. The VF-1 Valkyrie top view schematic from the Master File is more detailed, but has a poor rendition of the cockpit canopy. The VFMF canopy is faulty compared both to Kawamori's original drafted schematics and the TIA schematics. I guess the VFMF can't win em all Quote

I guess the VFMF can't win em all I did notice while going over this that there didn't seem to be enough space between the base of the wing and the engine nacelle for an accurate stripe decal like on other 19s, so maybe I'll give the TIA schematics a try after all.

DeductiblyBonkers Posted March 23, 2015 Author Posted March 23, 2015 Still not really sure about this color scheme so expect a low-vis version soon-ish Quote
Mr March Posted March 23, 2015 Posted March 23, 2015 I really like it! Don't drop this one. It looks good. Only thing I don't like are the thighs. That black on the inner/outer thighs isn't working. Quote
Valkyrie Driver Posted March 24, 2015 Posted March 24, 2015 I wonder if someone could give me a hand with a recolor? Quote
DeductiblyBonkers Posted March 26, 2015 Author Posted March 26, 2015 (edited) Some doodles from class, changed the ARMDs on the SDFA-3 to Guantánamos since that makes a bit more sense now that I have a more definite time period in mind^^ Edited March 26, 2015 by DeductiblyBonkers Quote
DeductiblyBonkers Posted April 28, 2015 Author Posted April 28, 2015 Markus and Daisuke start the story flying VF-4s, so here's a quick idea of what those look like. Almost tempted to have them keep flying these over the 19 ^^; Quote
spanner Posted May 1, 2015 Posted May 1, 2015 Markus and Daisuke start the story flying VF-4s, so here's a quick idea of what those look like. VF-4.png Almost tempted to have them keep flying these over the 19 ^^; nice colors on that VF-4! simply yet distinctive! I like it a lot! in fact all your work so far look awesome! Keep it going!
