I still like mine the best 

Hmm.  You may be right.  That is a sweet bike/lid combo.

Obviously the best is the Macross Aria M3 variant.  

Wait... did nobody want an update to a 17 year old thread?
 

It's funny.  The domain name just came up for renewal and I was debating about whether to renew it again or let it go, finally.  I think there's still some pretty solid stuff in there.  And I still kinda get the fee fees when I listen to that audio trailer.

So, I was actually thinking of trying this yet again. My last story sort of just petered out, as I was trying for a slow burn at the beginning to establish some characters. I'm not convinced that was the right call. 

So, I want to try again. I want to try the colony fleet story again, so I need a name for my fleet. I was hoping for a name that would evoke a tranquil and ideal setting, that would contrast with what I'm going to subject the setting to. 

Can I get any suggestions? 

What I would suggest is to figure out what story you're going to tell, and what your plot is going to be, and choose a name informed by that.

A lot of fan fiction tries to win us from the outside in, rather than the inside out.  Focus on your characters' arcs, hone your storytelling, and the name will come to you as an extension of the your work.

Very cool stuff.  I wish the Macross Aria sites were still online.  We had an interview with a pilot who claimed to have the biggest collection of post-SW1 vinyl.  He, too, was very interested in keeping alive Earth's history and information.  I think it's absolutely a fascinating concept, this period of time as humanity recovers from a near extinction, and near informational extinction event.  

Very dope.  Those M3 suits don't get the love they deserve.

I love to see some of the OGs (at least to me) posting new work.

Falcon... your art has come a long way in the past four years!  Nice.

Cool, cool.

I just read the extended Aria script the other day, and realized, dang, we had a semi-decent thing going.

Hey gang.  It's been a long time.  I'm dusting off my keyboard.  And my eyeballs.  But, in case there are new faces here, I figured I'd repost my old work from 2013 here.

It's an SW1 era story with all original characters, and it's only five short chapters.  If you haven't please give it a read, and I'd love to get some feedback on the thing before I try my hand at something else.

Holy crap, that looks incredible The White Drew Carey. Beautiful line work, and that digital water color... well, I woulda bought that it was prismacolor markers or actual water color.

So dope.

The Cygnus stuff really makes me want to reassemble the Aria team and get that ball rolling again.

Kawaii!

Right? The other thing that bugs me is each movie in the new franchise has featured several uniforms. And well, it just doesn't feel very... uh... uniform to me. Like, dress, duties, weather, flight... that makes sense, but they've got so many, and we don't know WHY. Anyway...

Neeeeeccccrroooooo!

Guys, is it just me, or does Star Trek Beyond TOTALLY bite Cannon Fodder's Macross Aria jumpsuit design? Like totally.

Where the heck is Hikuro? This used to be right up his alley!

This stuff is great.

They have a full color plastic material now, but it might still be in beta. Look into it! Though, honestly, tiny parts have some bleed-through.

Amazing work. As usual.

I like it.

So, who's gonna 3d model these things and make some shapeways prints?

I think your posts would be welcome in the fan fiction thread, but this is fine, too.

Legit.

AgaveCacuts knocks these things out of the park.

You couldn't pay me enough to drive the green one.
