Today is a follow-up to mid-January's VF-5000 post. First image is old vs. new VF-5000G Star Mirage art from the 1997 anime OVA Macross Dynamite 7. Second image is the 3 custom color schemes I invented. Line art by Shoji Kawamori, colors by me #macross#マクロス#mecha#anime
New coloring for the VF-5000G Star Mirage along with three of my own custom creations. The three customs are simple color swaps (with fan-names), no change in patterns or design. Made for a friend for fun. Line art by Shoji Kawamori, colors by me #macross#マクロス#mecha#anime
Coloring looks best even if one must cheat a little. The best result is not always the most accurate. Sometimes it's more important to draw volume and shape even if the object "should" logically be in total shadow. A focus on shields and the VF-0S #macross#マクロス#mecha#anime
The VF-25S Armored Messiah from Macross Frontier (2008) comparing an old scan from a poor quality source to a new scan from a better quality book. Obtaining high quality images of CG models is difficult, but when I do the results are much improved #macross#マクロス#mecha#anime
Next update to the M3 website will feature complete revision of all the Varauta space warships from the 1995 animated TV series Macross 7. All designs by Miyatake Kazutaka. All colors by me. #macross#マクロス#mecha#anime
