Cool Picture I found in the bathroom

Wow, that pictures pretty good. What comes to mind for me atleast is a couple of the lines from Group X's "Mario Twins." "Wow. Good God/ Yeah you like the idiot don't ya" Its not completely my thinking, but its pretty close. Keep up the good work Father Jack's Girlfriend.

it's nice when your girl says "sure I'll color that in... it would be good experience"

as opposed to

"you brought home WHAT from a strange bathroom?!?!?!?" :blink:

which reminds me... anybody need a sink... or two? :unsure:

eh... We're both dumpster divers extraordinaire. Both of us have found plenty of cool stuff in the Dumpster of where we live. A guitar, a computer where all the text on screen was in Korean, and it had some really tame porn on it. A working five CD changer. Velvet lined shelves, desks, lamps. Lots of stuff that needs little to no cleaning and works just fine. I tells ya there is no better place to find your electronics than in the trash. :lol:

Oh and I still need a picture of millia's TV zentradi uniform to finish the picture. The one renato gave me of the flight suit is good for the colors, but for what colors the markings are, she would like a picture. So if anyone has one shoot it my way.

thanks thats much easier than pausing my DVD's so she can try to copy it.

It's been awhile since I saw the segment she was in, but I can't remember how the markins on her uniform went.  Except the Zentradi emblem.

Well, I figure the first place I'll look is when she's arguing with Kamjin and Kamjin tells her that there is an ace on the Macross.

After that, I think there's a scene where she begs LapLamiz to let her become a spy on the Macross.

Hopefully shots from one or both of those scenes should suffice.

Update:

Minmay is now mostly colored. Misa has been detailed and looks fantastic. Now she just needs to finish minmay and millia, and then the detailing can begin. Then its done

However we just got We Love Katamari so it could be awhile. I'll keep you all updated.

Oh and thanks again to Mechamaniac for the Millia pictures.

So a funny thing happend on the way to the forum...

I was on my way to a job interview yesterday, and it was only a mile from where I live so I just decided to walk it.  I stopped to use the bathroom at the local half price books and what should I see on the wall but a picture of a Q-rau.  I was like wow thats unusual.  Then I turned around, and the other side was plastered with Macross pictures.  I fell in love with this one and asked them if I could purchase it.  (You should have seen the look on the clerk's face when I asked her if I could purchase one of the pictures from the men's room. :lol: )

Anyway they gave it to me for 50 cents it looks like a parody of the work of Alfons Mucha.  Anyway here you go...

(Special thanks to my girlfriend Rachelle for helping with th photoshop work.)

It reminds of the old "Doodle Art" from the 70's.....yes I'm THAT old.... :rolleyes:

Though I have the "Original Illustration" Portfolio and had to do a double take when I saw this:

I thought I might have had the picture, but when I looked again I was looking at the wrong back cover...

Amazing what we stumble on when lurking the forums. Even more amazing is what you stumbled on in a Men's room...hope the paper wasn't sticky when ya got it! (there made the joke).

Seriously, the coloring your girlfriend has been doing isgreat! Also took a looksy at her page. I really liked her "Night" illustration. She has some really great talent! I look forward to seeing the finished product! ^_^

It is finally done.

I will post a wallpaper size at some point tomorrow hopefully, but I am tired now.

Thank you eveyone for your patience I hope you like the outcome.

Buddy we fell in love with the "in progress" part, so I'm sure we love the final result!!

Thanks for all the work.

Are you going to do multiple resolutions?

Like 800x600, 1024x768, and 1600x1200?

I've found that starting with a 1600x1200 and simply reducing the image gives the right sizes without any loss in quality...

Father Jack's girlfriend here! He's working late and since he's still logged into his account here I thought I'd surprise him and post the wallpapers.

OK first, so you appreciate all the work that went behind this, here's some facts:

- The finished (un-flatened) Photoshop file size is 73.6MB

- The Photoshop file has 67 layers!

- The original picture had to be scanned in 2 parts and put together on the computer

- Not all of the lines in the picture connect! This forced me to make up certain parts of the drawing. This is most apparent in their hair.

- File size (in inches) is about 14" x 10" and set at 300dpi

Alright, I made four sizes of wallpapers. 800x600, 1024x768, 1280x1024, 1600x1200. OK, now hopefully all the wallpapers are attached to this message. I'd like to add that I did not cell shade the characters because I don't believe they'd be a good fit with the style of this piece. OK, enjoy!

------------------------

EDIT: Hmmm, looks like there might be a size limit on here because some of the wallpapers I attached don't appear to be the full size. If anyone can host the larger wallpapers, umm, I don't know, post or pm Father Jack. Sorry, I don't want to host them on my own website because I have the tiny (i.e. cheapest) hosting plan and I fear my bandwidth exploding. lol
