Lonely Soldier Boy

Yeah, I guess you're right. As for the medium, I used Photoshop 7 over a pencil drawing. The 7 comes a wonderful set of brushes, so you can do almost anything with it.

On the contrary! Thanks to you all! I swear I don't even own an xbox, but I'd very much like to see that one.

Thanks, guys. That's encouraging. I see what else I have to post here.

Or more like Gundam feeling jealous of Bossborot

Thanks for the comment. The head was inspired on a gorilla to give the whole design a heavier, agressive look, but I guess it does looks more like an elephant. Anyway this is an old illustration, recently I've been revising the whole design, but I only have rough sketches of that, nothing worht of this section

I first post this at the toy section 'cause some guys were curious about my avatar. But here is where it should be posted. The illo is from a short animated feature I'm tryng to put together. I hope you guys like it.

Ha! You're right! I'm posting this at the fan art section so we can move the discussion from here. The Yamato Konig Monster must be jealous

Whoa, whoa, whoa!!! It's going great! Man, I gotta learn to do that! You should check the toy review section, Graham posted lot's of pictures of the Yamato Q-Rau, It's a very nice toy.

For some reason somebody is already paying me real money as a comic artist, but I alway feel insecure when it comes to my own hellspawns. Hopefully I'll direct my own anime some day featuring lots and lots of armors like this shooting each other. That's my dream.

Er... It IS River Phoenix. It suits the main character so well that I decided to hire him "post mortem". I hope the family don't sue me for this I think I'll post it at the fan art section before the moderators kicks me off. The mecha is a power suit 'bout three meters high. My main influences are Shirow's Landmates, real life tanks and Macross of course!

Shweet! But is that version for real? I haven't seen M7 so far. How can I tighten up the shoulders on my Banprestos, by the way? Is that a chogokin Alphonse? Too many questions, I'm sorry.

Very funny. No. it's a design of my own. I´m too shy to show the full version, but to put an end to the speculation here it is. Please be kind, all of you, it's my firs time at MW.

In case Yamato cares, here's a few humble suggestions for the (upcomming?) Konig Monster, from a true fan. I think this two models provide a good glance at the design problems that the sculptors would have to face with this baby. If anybody holds a different opinion on this matter please feel free to cast the stone, maybe we all can make the perfect monster! The good pionts are marked green, the flaws red.

I think it's too big for a display stand and draws too much attention from the toy it's supposed to "display". That is specially notorious with the 1/60's and 1/72's. What's the display piece here? The plane or the display stand itself?

Somebody already mention this but those intakes are HUGE! I always hated that on my YF-19. It makes the valks in fighter mode look really ugly. It's annoying.

You can buy them here: www.xl-shop.com/xlshop/pages/productDetails.asp?productId=KM-030262 The Roy on the stand and the millia are transformable. There was a former set with other figures, but I think it's sold out. I should buy these myself before theyre gone too

Now THAT'S how a Yamato VF-11/YF-19 should look like. I'm sorry: Am I out of topic?

Thanks, pal! I think I'm gonna buy these once I get the Akira ones. By the way I read somewhere that you had a nasty 1/48 collection. I envy you soooo much Thanks again.

hey, Godzilla! I was looking for a topic about these little suckers when I saw yours. I'm thinking on gettin them but I'd like a slight review from someone who already get them first, nothing too seriuos, just things like are they fully poseable? Does the missile hatches on the 1j open? and so on. Thanks and congratulations.

I think there is a Buy-Sell section in this page somewhere. Maybe you get lucky and find someone who is sellin his old 19. I'd sell you mine, but I hate payment/shipment trouble. The reason is I don't like the old Yamato 19. I was like you, dreaming awake of this toy since I saw the pictures, but owning one is another stuff. The bastard is pretty ugly once you get to hold it, the fighter has those horrible gaps and big fat screws, and the battroid is not very poseable. In the standing position it looks like an old man with a deviated spine, and the hips can't move at all. If I were you, I'll wait patiently 'till Yamato releases the FP version. I heard it adresses all this problems, and I'm sure they'll release it eventually. The expactation is huge. Welcome to MW, man!

I agree. Do you guys think the price will drop? Does this happen?

Come on Yamato, you can do it!!!

I think fifbeat just died of a hart attack I didn't know there was a garage kit out there. Where can I find it?

Can you place some comparsion pics? And what about the joints? Are they thight enough? I'm still getting one sometime. But now it seems like a big pile of plastic to me. The standing issue of the Millia figure is a big dissapointment an so the lack of detail. The feet for instance, could look a lot better with a slight paint wash.

I think kanata is one very subtle comedian.
