Skull-1 Posted October 7, 2003 Posted October 7, 2003 These things are gorgeous, but a nitpick... Milia doesn't look to smart looking away from her wingman in a turn.... Any chance you can do a TV Max "J" colored version of something? Those look great! Quote
Firefox Posted October 10, 2003 Author Posted October 10, 2003 (edited) Here is VF-1J for Max and Milia. After this one, I'm gonna stop for a moment. The company project deadline is catching up... More in: Firefox Edited October 17, 2003 by Firefox Quote
JSaint25 Posted October 10, 2003 Posted October 10, 2003 Firefox: All your wallpapers are great. The "surfing" valk is now my background here at work. ^heh heh, when you're talking Max and Millia love really is in the air! (I know, corny, but I couldn't resist) Quote

EXO Posted October 10, 2003 Posted October 10, 2003 I like this one, except for a couple of things: the M & M figures don't mix well with the paintings, and the DYRL uniforms don't look right with the TV schemes. The second one is admittedly nitpicking. But I love the TV schemes and uniforms that much... Beautiful work though... Oh yeah Millia does look weird facing away, hehe. Quote
Firefox Posted October 13, 2003 Author Posted October 13, 2003 Glad you guys/gals like it. But I got to stop doiong it for awhile. Deadline! deadline! for my company project Quote
Mr March Posted October 15, 2003 Posted October 15, 2003 That sucks. Hope the busy season doesn't last long at your company! Quote
Edveen Posted October 16, 2003 Posted October 16, 2003 Excellent Stuff! I really like the Excalibur Wallpaper. Its a perfect match and nicely done. Keep up the great work! Ed Quote
Firefox Posted October 17, 2003 Author Posted October 17, 2003 (edited) Hi guys/gals, Manage to get one done despite the company project. This is the plain vanila VF-1J, modified to 2500th anniversay configuration, but without the paint scheme. I intended to use the adversay paint scheme (like F-16N) rather than the original 2500th anniversary paint scheme. I like this configuration. It is pretty similar to Mig-29 in the tail section and Mig-23 in wing root section. I'm modifying my 1/48 Yamato VF-1A to this configuration as well. Edited October 17, 2003 by Firefox Quote
Macross_Fanboy Posted October 17, 2003 Posted October 17, 2003 Cool wallpaper guys. I'm working on one right now, I hope to finish the detailing and coloring in tonight on the Valkyries. It's my first attempt at fan art, I just hope that when you all see it, I hope you all like it. Quote
madmacks Posted October 17, 2003 Posted October 17, 2003 a quickie i did for skull-1, guess he didnt like it but look at what i had to work with Quote
Firefox Posted October 17, 2003 Author Posted October 17, 2003 (edited) Hey madmack, cool wallpaper! Really nice for the valkyrie's shadow and lightning control! Did you create the background as well? Here is my Adversary Valkyrie. Instead of using F-16N scheme, I decided to use Mig-29 scheme. Hope you guys/gals like it.

soze Posted October 17, 2003 Posted October 17, 2003 (edited) Top this fools!!! * Oops wrong thread * Edited October 17, 2003 by soze Quote
madmacks Posted October 17, 2003 Posted October 17, 2003 very nice wallpapers Firefox! the background came from mingling two nasa pictures. Quote
Macross_Fanboy Posted October 18, 2003 Posted October 18, 2003 (edited) Alright! I'm done with my first wallpaper! YAY!!! Now, I'm gonna post it and I hope you all like what I think is a kick ass wallpaper. For those who see it, I want you to judge it! And be straight up with your comments, I want to know the errors I made so I can avoid them on future projects. Note that the skulls aren't on right, I couldn't get them on right. I used MS Paint for this, Photoshop is too confusing. Edited October 18, 2003 by Macross_Fanboy Quote
Firefox Posted October 20, 2003 Author Posted October 20, 2003 Hey! Not bad at all! I like the halfo skull and half macross logo Quote
Lightning Posted October 20, 2003 Posted October 20, 2003 any chance we could see a VF-4 soon? (btw, i love the wallpapers! keep em coming!) Quote
Macross_Fanboy Posted October 20, 2003 Posted October 20, 2003 (edited) Thanks. And is your question directed at me Lightning06?? If it is, I'll try, and this time with a nice background, or is the one I've already posted good enough with a white background? Edited October 20, 2003 by Macross_Fanboy Quote
Firefox Posted October 20, 2003 Author Posted October 20, 2003 Here is my VF-4 wallpaper. It's a rush job. Not very good though. I have problem finding VF-4 images from the web. Can't wait to see others Quote
Skull-1 Posted October 20, 2003 Posted October 20, 2003 a quickie i did for skull-1, guess he didnt like it No, dude, I like it just fine. I only wish I could have given you a better image to work with. Can you give the Valk in the photo a more "paintbrushed" look or is that beyond possibility? Quote
Macross_Fanboy Posted October 20, 2003 Posted October 20, 2003 Bah! Firefox! It looks good! Doesn't look like a rushed job! <_ Quote
Skull-1 Posted October 21, 2003 Posted October 21, 2003 (edited) How do you guys adjust those colors like that (on the plain Valk you made to look like Max's and Milia's)? I'd love to do one for my "John Deere" Valk. Edited October 21, 2003 by Skull-1 Quote
Macross_Fanboy Posted October 21, 2003 Posted October 21, 2003 I need good color refrences for the VF-4's detailing. It's hard to make my VF-4 wallpaper without any refrences as to what color some parts of it should be. Quote
evirus Posted October 22, 2003 Posted October 22, 2003 i dont want to judge your meaning but i think you missed the colored strip across the top of the max and milia valks other then that good job from what i can see currently Quote
Firefox Posted October 24, 2003 Author Posted October 24, 2003 (edited) I use Photoshop to do all this. Basically to adjust colour, I used only 4 tools of the Photoshop. The first is the lasso tools to select the portion that you wanted to change the colour. After the selection, I either use the Brighness/Contrast fucntion to adjust the portion or I used Desaturate function to remove the original colour. Then I use Color Balance funtion to adjust the selected portion to the colour I wanted it to be (scroll three colour balance bars to adjust to colour you like). After the colour balance, I would sometimes re-adjust the brightness of the selected portion to match the overall pic. I would normally use Desaturate fucntion to remove original colout first if my intended colour is far too different from th original colour. For example, if the original colour is yellow and you wanted to change it to blue, it is not so possible to use Color Balance to change it. Even using Hue/Saturation will leave some unrealistic mark to the amended colour. So I will desaturate that part first before I correct the colour to the intended one. Hope this help Edited October 24, 2003 by Firefox Quote

Firefox Posted October 27, 2003 Author Posted October 27, 2003 Here is the latest one. I like the F-16N scheme (the Navy adversary scheme). I decided to do a VF-1J in such scheme. Hope you like it Quote
