pengbuzz Posted June 18, 2016 Posted June 18, 2016 Pencil Sketch: WIP: 2 hours worth of work: Stay tuned... Quote
the white drew carey Posted June 18, 2016 Posted June 18, 2016 Nice. Maybe add some smoke effects from the gun and in the bullet holes? Quote
pengbuzz Posted June 18, 2016 Author Posted June 18, 2016 Nice. Maybe add some smoke effects from the gun and in the bullet holes? Thanks! I plan on adding some smoke, as well as a firefight behind Skull one here. Right now, trying to get the whole scene to look a bit better; this is still very rough by my standards. Current progress: Stay tuned... Quote
pengbuzz Posted June 19, 2016 Author Posted June 19, 2016 UPDATE: Some more work done. Namely, work on the Regult and the gunpod for Skull-One: Stay tuned... Quote
NZEOD Posted June 19, 2016 Posted June 19, 2016 (edited) Less smoke from the barrel, propellant burns fairly clean, and make it a lazy curl... Most of the smoke off a hot weapon is gun oil burning off. A heat haze off the barrel jacket perhaps but definitely less smoke. The powder in a cartridge is call "Smokeless" Powder.

Most of the smoke off a hot weapon is gun oil burning off. A heat haze off the barrel jacket perhaps but definitely less smoke. The powder in a cartridge is call "Smokeless" Powder. Definitely, NZEOD; after posting my WIP last night, I noted that and proceeded immediately to kill down the smoke: (Kinda looked like a cigar more than a gunpod!) Thanks for picking it up though; before posting this, I did go in and make a bit of a "lazy curl" as you mentioned. I really appreciate the advice on the smoke. Edited June 20, 2016 by pengbuzz Quote
pengbuzz Posted June 25, 2016 Author Posted June 25, 2016 Still working on this one folks; just taking a little break, as the heat and humidity here is just atrocious.I'll try to have some progress pics tonight. Quote
pengbuzz Posted July 3, 2016 Author Posted July 3, 2016 Sorry about the delay folks; had some family issues to take care of (money's short, as usual). In any event, here's the latest progress: Still a WIP; lots of stuff to take care of. None of it meets my criteria yet, but it's coming along. Stay tuned... Quote

pengbuzz Posted July 5, 2016 Author Posted July 5, 2016 (edited) Thanks guys! I really appreciate the input and complements. A little bit of an update here: I FINALLY gave Skull-1 a "hand" (ba-dum-dum-tish!). While the hand isn't perfect (it needs a LOT of work!), it's a start and I should be able to start on the other hand soon. I also got the handle to the gunpod started, and I wrestled with the intake covers; they still need some work, but they're a LOT better than before. In addition, I tweaked the head and head lasers a bit, and did some more work on the visor (it was bugging me). And looking at this: I need to fix the "U.N. SPACY" on the gunpod: it doesn't look right to me. I'll probably go in with photoshop and use the transform tool to fix it. No big deal, but it's been bothering me for a while now. Hoping to get to the Regult soon, and work some of the buildings a bit more. Stay tuned... Edited July 5, 2016 by pengbuzz Quote
pengbuzz Posted July 7, 2016 Author Posted July 7, 2016 (edited) UPDATE: A little more work (and a fixed "UN SPACY" logo): More to come; stay tuned... Edited July 12, 2016 by pengbuzz Quote
pengbuzz Posted July 12, 2016 Author Posted July 12, 2016 Hoping to have more work on this done soon folks: trying to find a job, no one's hiring, money's short and times are heard so here's your-- ahem. ...VF-1S Valkyrie. Stay tuned... Quote
pengbuzz Posted July 31, 2016 Author Posted July 31, 2016 UPDATE: Got some more detail done overall, namely the buildings. I removed the left hand "boxing glove" in preparation for the more permanent left hand unit. Aside from that, just tome minor tweaking here and there. Stay tuned folks... Quote
pengbuzz Posted August 1, 2016 Author Posted August 1, 2016 UPDATE: FINALLY got the other hand, some more detailing on stuff, and the Skull Squadron emblem on the heat shield! Stay tuned folks... Quote
pengbuzz Posted August 5, 2016 Author Posted August 5, 2016 (edited) Okay...time for a decision: I got the smoke in on the battle pod, and did a little bit of combat in the air in the background. That said, I'm wondering about putting the Macross in. So, here's both versions; I only sketched the ship in basically (as I'm not going to add too much to it unless I plan on going ahead with it). Option A (without): Option B: with) Let me know which you folks like better, and any other suggestions you might have! Edited August 5, 2016 by pengbuzz Quote
no3Ljm Posted August 5, 2016 Posted August 5, 2016 Loving it. The ship in the background one looks nice. I know this one is still in the sketch phase. But my only opinion if ever you're going to go with the ship at the background is that not to make the ship looks sharp since that one is a little bit far away. And the buildings in the background has more details compared on the ones in the foreground. And the foreground buildings should not have more than 4 floors since Battroid is just 12.68 meters in height. Anyways, keep it up sir. Looking forward for more. Quote

Thanks for the input, no3ljm. the background buildings, those and the ship are going to be blurred out a bit more (haven't gotten there yet). As for the buildings in the foreground: they are behind the Battroid. If it were standing next to them, the Battroid would be only 4 storeys high! (the windows on the "glass" building are supposed to be double-paned). More stuff to fix, since the main image was flattened a while back. (maybe I'll throw in a wrecked car.! ) Edited August 5, 2016 by pengbuzz Quote
pengbuzz Posted August 6, 2016 Author Posted August 6, 2016 (edited) Okay, another update: Still have to fade the background buildings a little more, but I think we've got a winner here. Stay tuned folks.... gotta decide what kind of car to squish here... Edited August 6, 2016 by pengbuzz Quote
pengbuzz Posted August 9, 2016 Author Posted August 9, 2016 UPDATE: Did a little bit of damage to the buildings, faded the background a bit... and demonstrated why you shouldn't park your car anywhere on South Ataria Island: Stay tuned... Quote
pengbuzz Posted August 9, 2016 Author Posted August 9, 2016 Is that a smashed Supra? If so, No , just a smashed generic car. No particular brans. I may name it the "Mitsubishi Cannonfodder" Quote
pengbuzz Posted August 10, 2016 Author Posted August 10, 2016 Maybe I should put in a car stuck in a window on one of the buildings Regults do funny things, ya know... Quote
pengbuzz Posted August 13, 2016 Author Posted August 13, 2016 LAST UPDATE: Okay, decided against putting a car in someone's window.; I finished as much detailing and last-minute stuff on this, and I'm just calling it "a day" on this piece": (BTW: "pbz-313" is what I use to sign my artwork; certain family members online really make life difficult for me) May not be the best work ever done in Macross, but I'm happy that it looks better than the stuff I've done in the past. Thanks for watching everyone, and thank you for the suggestions! See y'all on my next project! Quote
EXO Posted August 13, 2016 Posted August 13, 2016 Great job! Been waiting for you to finish it so we can post it on the Facebook page! Quote
