vibayo Posted June 23, 2004 Share Posted June 23, 2004 I like that image very very very very much.i thought that the desert itself or sharon alone were a little empty image,but i think that the combination is perfect for the spine,it only needs a little of tweaking and it would be perfect. That's my 2 cents Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BoBe-Patt Posted June 23, 2004 Share Posted June 23, 2004 I do have to note though that Isamu looks like he's trying to cop a feel. hmmm... maybe he is! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoBe-Patt Posted June 23, 2004 Share Posted June 23, 2004 hmm... I was thinking about feathering the edges on sharon. What you guys think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smiley424 Posted June 24, 2004 Share Posted June 24, 2004 Man, between the desert and sharon spines, I can't decide. I like the idea of trying to splice the sharon shot into the desert shot. Maybe have Sharon blend in to the sky more, like be more shadowy and in the background, not so vibrant and in your face. Maybe I'm asking too much, but I think that would look hot. I'll be keeping an eye on how the desert/sharon spine develops. Also, after looking over the last couple mockups, the sides definately look a bit cluttered with the battroid pics thrown in.

Anubis Posted June 24, 2004 Share Posted June 24, 2004 Here's a test with the blended pic. Good potential with this idea if it can be blended right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jwinges Posted June 24, 2004 Share Posted June 24, 2004 I think I still currently like the Desert image better. But I think that the merge has possibilities. Could anybody ask Paul what additional cost would be for a insert for the opposite spine. By doing so all sides would be finished except the bottom. Just a simple insert so its not like it'd be too tough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BoBe-Patt Posted June 24, 2004 Share Posted June 24, 2004 (edited) ok, here's another update. Let me know what you guys think. Come to think about it, Sharon looks like she's one with the clouds now. Which looks a lot better in my opinion. Now there's a foreground and a background effect to it. Thanx Edited June 24, 2004 by BoBe-Patt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mechamaniac Posted June 25, 2004 Author Share Posted June 25, 2004 Actually, TLW scanned that collage image from his AWESOME R2 Mac Plus DVD set that he just got today. I had the pleasure of seeing it in person, and trust me, that piece of artwork is childs play compared to the rest of the stuff in that set!.

Anubis Posted June 25, 2004 Share Posted June 25, 2004 Please please get us some more scans of that set. There's plenty of room in the test thread for em That 19/21 with the Sharon eye is awesome. Gotta give that a try as well. What other artwork is in there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anubis Posted June 25, 2004 Share Posted June 25, 2004 (edited) How about a "cockpit" box design? Definately gotta see more of these. Could make a design right now with the two cockpits, and that 19/21 pic on the spine. Why do R2 sets have to rock so much?

TheLoneWolf Posted June 25, 2004 Share Posted June 25, 2004 did I mention that the YF-19 cockpit image is actually a wrap-around image? This is the back of it. Combined with a mid-section (not scanned), you get a wonderfully long shot of the 19. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mechamaniac Posted June 25, 2004 Author Share Posted June 25, 2004 I just tried, and there's not enough material there. IIRC, there's some spine art that is missing between the front and back pieces of each cockpit. So Neil will have to scan the spines as well.

MrDisco Posted June 25, 2004 Share Posted June 25, 2004 i think the 2 cockpits on either side would be quite stunning - we'll get full use of the color printing if use them rather then the schematics (though those are nice as well...they would be great as a liner insert); the top could be the blue pyramid or perhaps the pic with isamu and the macross+ kanji; not a big fan of the group shot in the red triangle. the spine would be the sticking point. i still like the dessert.

BoBe-Patt Posted June 25, 2004 Share Posted June 25, 2004 hehe, nice images. Now we have more that we can work with. I'd like to incorporate that sharon's eye thing with half of the yf-19 and the yf-21 into the spine. But maybe just the sharon's eye. I'll see what I can cook up! And thanx for the nice images!

Is that how the original looks? The other pictures you scanned out look nice an clear. Perhaps you scanned this image with the descreening option off? Let me know as I'd like a clear image of this.
