Re: The Official Gundam: The Witch From Mercury Anime Thread Mk I

I agree that hiring different designers to handle different lines was a pretty good idea, and I'd like to see more of that in the future. For my part, I loved the relative simplicity of Calibarn. No frills, not much in the way of gimmicks from a design standpoint(at least not until Eri lent her the ...

Elan Prime resigns with the following email:

That's classy and hilarious.
Yes. That was pretty good too :D

Re: The Official Gundam: The Witch From Mercury Anime Thread Mk I

So I watched the episode, and I have a few thoughts. There are a few things it did that I'm not too satisfied with, but overall I prefer it to just about any ending we've gotten since 00, so I'm basically content. First things first...Calibarn. I've known ever since I saw the second OP that we could...

Re: Dark Duel's Shop-Fu and assorted artsy stuff

Thanks. Of course now in light of Ep24 I'm gonna have to go back and tweak the V-Fin in ALL of them, but that's fine. It probably would only take a few minutes to make that correction. EDIT: And it's done. I went ahead and updated the links in my previous post. Also fixed a coloring mistake on one o...

Spending my time off photoshopping in between other chores, so next up is a bunch of Calibarn recolors, as promised. The first batch is based off the Lfrith lineage, including Elnora's prototype, the pre-production model, Ur, and Thorn: 1- Lfrith: https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/53013190009_28b6...

Thanks for offering. Switching gears again to WFM, I have a crop of recolors of the Schwarzette, inspired by the Darilbalde and the three Dilanza variants: 1 - https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/53011453830_ea4c334973_b.jpg 2 - https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/53011304759_bd87994629_b.jpg 3 - ht...

Re: New Macross anime from Studio SUNRISE

YF-40 or VF-40 would be more likely IMO, given that we’re at forty years of Macross and the last two major lead VFs were the YF-30 and VF-31 on the 30th anniversary, and the VF-25 for the 25th anniversary of the franchise

Oooooh boy. Martin and Nina playing hot potato with the death flags, here. I think at this point it's pretty certain one of the two is gonna die, with IMO Martin being the slightly likelier of the two. Old man Zenelli threw a hell of a curve ball there with his suggestion to Miorine that she cut Gra...

Re: New Macross anime from Studio SUNRISE

As long as it's not more Delta , I'd love to get more Macross. Considering that we're smack dab in the middle of the 40th Anniversary(from what I can find out, the original series aired from late '82 to mid-'83), I'd expect something more substantial than another sequel though, so I will eagerly awa...

Re: The Official Gundam: The Witch From Mercury Anime Thread Mk I

Well, that was an interesting episode. It's a shame the Darilbalde got trashed again , but on the other hand, it was worth it just to see the Michaelis get cut to shreds. Shaddiq and his little estrogen brigade getting arrested was also good to see. Was cool to see Kenanji actually piloting again, t...

Nope. Aegis, weirdly, is incapable of unassisted atmospheric flight - hence the upgraded Rosso Aegis, which gains this capability.

Back on Macross next...specifically, Macross Frontier . I recently acquired from a friend a scan that showed this VF-25F custom color scheme , which is used by a pair of VF-25Fs that acted as Sheryl's escort during a tour to the Macross Olympia fleet circa 2064. They're 25Fs at her request, and the ...

Re: The Official Gundam: The Witch From Mercury Anime Thread Mk I

And on the heels of last week's reveal, we spend the entire episode on Earth, with the exception of a couple of brief scenes, none of which involve Suletta. It was a good one IMO, although very different tonally from what we've had so far. Olcott, whom we learn is an ex-Dominicus pilot whose real na...

It is always a pleasure to see that you have done another custom unit. Thanks for this lovely unit. I'm glad you like it :D I like it too - always did like the Hyperion, and the Hyperion-G was one of my favorite units from an otherwise very lackluster manga. Hyperion-G, an underrated grunt mech for...

Yeah. On another note, I've been re-reading my old GSD rewrite, and I took some time this afternoon to do a little bit of editing on the Hyperion-G . In brief, in GSDA the Hyperion-G is developed by the Eurasian Federation as a replacement for the Dagger-series, based on the original Hyperion Gundam...

Re: Dark Duel's Shop-Fu and assorted artsy stuff

A while back, I read somewhere a comment that compared the Aerial Rebuild to the GP01Fb from 0083. That inspired this recolor , which I started working on at the time and only just got around to finishing this weekend. I ended up also doing a GP01-inspired color scheme on the original Aerial as well...
