Got a new modem router today, so expect a few more waves in shorter succession. =P

I've got plenty of detailed pics of that Clan Clan model too, (Seriously, I want to know the correct spelling for her name!) so if anyone wants I'll upload a few of them as well.

Aikurisu, the image of the Valk girl looks great on a white background compared to a black background. It realy stands out and would look superb on a white t-shirt. Cudos to you Kris. I have to admit the cake looked great and tasted great. The cake was so big that we did not get a chance to finish it off. I think the more people that attend next time will have no problem in finishing off the cake. cool.gif

Hehe, aye, and agreed on the white background. Bah, yet I still reckon that I could have drawn something much better if I wasn't so concerned with it being applicable for a t-shirt print.

And here's a pic of what was left of the cake that we just left in the fridge... lol

lol, this week has been kinda busy for me, (plus having a faulty modem router doesn't help much...) but I've still got a few to upload.

Shazam... I just couldn't resist with that last one. Truly epic. XD

More to come!

Also, almost forgot. Originally I was meant to design a t-shirt print that was going to be available at the con. Although due to some technical issues with the printing service, and that I’ve really been out of whack in terms of my art these past few months, after losing my muse, what I drew didn't make it to the t-shirt phase. (An artist without a stable muse leaves them pretty much buggered...) Yet it doesn't matter, and here's what I drew: http://aikurisu.deviantart.com/art/Macross...on-09-123006697

Sorry if I'm going a bit slow uploading new photos, guys. The family's modem router is going to pot, and this old rustic comp isn't helping either, lol.

Just a head's up warning, though. Over half of the images I took didn't come out any good at all, (way too blurry...) so I won't upload them. Apologies. =/

But anyhoo! I promised good shots of the EMU, and here they are! (Save the first linked image, but it's still in it behind Roy!)

lol, I'd feel like a schmuck if I didn't reply here after attending. =P

Seriously though, it was bloody brilliant attending the con and meeting up with you guys. Matt already knows, but it was a bit of a step for me getting out of my comfort zone as a recluse in the countryside. Just being in Brissie alone was a bit of a miracle in its own right, but I’m glad now I allowed him to drag me into it. Been pretty much in the doldrums as far as my art’s been concerned with the year so far, but thanks much to the friendliness involved at the con, the conversing, and seeing what went on has given me a bit of a spark to keep the engine running. So it’s done a world of good for me… but enough of the sentimental crap.

A really big thanks to Warpaint and Shazam though. Hearing among and talking to you guys about a few issues on things that have been troubling me a long while with my own work has made thinking about them more bearable and clearer now, and I’m glad you liked the prints! And again, Shazam, thanks for all the utterly inspiring Macross II comics and the models. Looking forward to seeing your model work on the VF-2SS too, Warpaint! (Maybe we should give it a custom paint job or something?) Your work on the EMU was awesome! It rightly deserved the prize it received. Same to everyone else too who won prizes!

And yeah, thanks bro for having a big hand in devising the con! And ... what? I’m supposed to say more? Well ... I erm... umm... Diplomatic Immunity? =P

But yes! Great turnout. As Shazam said earlier on at the con, it was comfortable and I hope to attend the next con just to catch up with all of ya.

Hopefully by then too, I’ll have a few Macross related artworks to give out as prizes, whether I'm even there or not.

And now begins the long journey of sorting through the photos I took… and here's the first volley!

Next volley will probably have a couple of detailed pics of the EMU and more, but that can wait till... later in the day. It's nearing 3am right now. XD

(Btw, as I upload these, if anyone wants a specific pic enlarged, I'll send it by email, unless someone knows better? Lousy photobucket restrictions...)

Hey guys! Aikurisu is going to post this for me while I’m afk from the comps, Thanks Aikurisu for your help!!

Below is discussion with Overdrive with regards to the special con group order deal/s.

Please let me know by the end of the weekend if you want to secure one of these v.2 VF-1’s (listed below)

and all other items listed on their website which are either in-stock, or have a pre-order date before April,

so Overdrive can make arrangements for the packages and what else they are sending to us for the con, Cool.

Matt

About the orders. I need the number of pieces you need for the following

items by the following date.

1/60 VF-1A Max TV Ver: February 9

1/60 VF-1S Max : February 9

1/60 VF-1D : February1

1/60 VF-11B: February1

It may be possible to increase numbers after the deadline but no

decrease will be allowed after the deadline so be careful when you send

in the numbers. I can't guarantee the Bandai VF-25 Mikal and Luca right

now we're asking for more but until it's released I'm not sure how many

more we can get.

We'll ask for half of the payment for them within a week of the order.

The remaining half and the shipping fees will be asked for a few days

before they come in.

Some info about EMS shipping below -

Shipping via EMS for a box of non super parts VF-1's should be $100. The Kakizaki 1/60 and VF-1A Max Movie versions were official announced yesterday but since they're all scheduled for May don't think it'll get there in time even if you send it by EMS. Also if any one's interested in the Beagle Ride Armor we can do that to if you need any.

Don't forget I need at least an estimated number for a few items by the next Monday. I'll send you a head up on friday.

Regards

Overdrive.
