  1. Thanks Seto Kaiba for your review.

    About art quality, it makes me feel sources and materials they had access to were pretty bad... and we can add a bad use of  image processing software...

     

    So more i see this mook, more this idea appears : print my own personal artbook, with good sources, good materials, like a doujin...

     

    But it's just a wish...

    Roughly, it's 85% stuff we've seen many times before, 10% pics of toys and kits, 5% promotional and concept work for Genesis Breakers.

    There seems to be very little new lineart, but maybe you've seen it before... :unsure:

    Yes, thanks...

    There are some official artworks unseen before...

     

    I've just skimmed through this book one time quickly...

     

    I'll talk about settings's part:

    Book's size is good, like this we can appreciate model sheets, settei in fair size....

     

    But if there's one complaint to say, just one...:

    Documents's quality.

    Former Mospeada artbook, 11 years ago, was too small. Pictures are numerous but too reduced, tiny to estimate drawings's "finesse".

    Now, about this new artbook, dimensions are great but documents are unfit for an official release nor a amateur doujin release...

    It hurts to see " photocopy of photocopy of photocopy" of settei in big size... for the finesse we will pass..

    We can mostly see too much upscaled drawings...more pixels than lines.. 

    I know they didn't have original documents but several bunch of documents exist. Just ask for...

    Luckily, this artbook doesn't come down to this part:

    Artists's interview, modelers's part, plastic kits, Genesis Breaker....

    It's a different book.. a must buy for those who don't own Shinkigensha's "Mospeada complete artworks Book", a real supplement for others....

    Just my opinion...

    What's about yours?

    Miyatake's SDF-1 art for the Gold Book (note the date...AFTER the release of the movie...so a bit ret-conned!)
    May have posted this before, but I borrowed my daughter's camera for some better quality.

    Got this way back in 2001 or something when I went to Japan with Graham and Seiichi. We stopped at Mandarake and saw them in the display.
    The ARMD was 13000 yen and the SDF-1 was 15000 yen...I know, a real rip-off, LOL  :P

    @TheLoneWolf:

    White-out on SDF artwork is white correction fluid...

     

    Usually used on old original felt pen art :)

    Hi Shawn,

    So It was a pleasure to help you in the past :D

    I know they are in good hands

     

    Bests regards

  6. Hi Sketchley,

     

    You're right..

    Usually, most of settei seen in Market are reproductions...

    Most of them are A4 size...

    But according to anime series/movies,  original setting/settei's dimensions are different ...and sometimes reproductions settei given to staff respect settei's size...

     

    About Mospeada anime, I found several settei copies in B4 size...like original settei...

    Missile strike missile picture is B4 and is an original artwork...

    I don't have all Mospeada artworks but what i've got are all B4 

     On the contrary, some of original Macross movie settei are A5/B5 ...( Sorry i must find them to check precisely the  size)

    Below, an original Macross movie settei and the Mospeada missile first strike (without cut) :

  7. Hi Shawn,

     

    Thanks you for your comment !

     

    But this time, this sheet comes from Carl's documents.

    Unfortunately, i can't help...i just own some artworks...and share them...

    It remembers me Legioss missile underbreast discussion...

    Anyways, talking about Mospeada lineart and settei is pleasant.

    Settei, storyboard, scripts

     

    Beautiful!!

    Strangely, some of these settei copy are familiar...

    I thought it came from a peculiar settei set but maybe i was wrong...

     

    Nice to see all these copy in big size
