"live for nothing or die for something, this is what we do" or something. fluffy, cute, pink and warm from Rambo

-the moment you are forced to yell " dekaruchaaa~ " you're screwed -english is the official spoken language, it just sounds japanese -flying beercans are dangerous -yelling "ore no uta wo ki ke!" attracts negative vibes while "atashi no uta wo ki ke!" attracts positive vibes

Macross Frontier gives homage to everything Macross gave out the past 25 years ! id love to speculate and over analyze to death everything found in the first episode but im not so good with it... but ... the continuing forum conversations lead me to speculate anyway - Studio Nue really really wants to give the franchise a super shot in the arm and rejuvenate interest in it - for both the old and new fans. but Shoji Kawamori seems to be frustrated with the limitations of his first series - in animation, finances, corporate mandated editing, even the Court case involving Harmony Gold versus Big West in ownership of the Macross series rights - the court case definitely hinders Macross' merchandise from entering the US popularity he attempted to rectify this with the release of the Macross movie "Do You Remember Love" abandoning the TV series story and practically rewriting everything about Macross. Years later, he reneged by saying this was a movie created WITHIN the Macross universe, with the characters appearing in the movies as "actors portraying the roles of Hikaru & company", much like Hollywood making the Pearl Harbor movie to romantize the human story of the Pacific War but every Macross animation and videogame which came out after "Do You Remember Love" picks up their visual and narrative cues from DYRL and not the Macross TV series as examples: the Super Dimensional Fortress Macross which was hacked by super computer Sharon Apple in Macross Plus appears like what it did in the DYRL movie; the Zentraedi Archivist Exedol appears in Macross 7 like what he did in the DYRL movie it's like Shoji Kawamori and Studio Nue have been, for years, trying to avoid dwelling in the original Macross TV Series while the court case involving it's broadcast and design rights was being disputed. Kawamori has even been blunt in answering questions as to what happened to Hikaru, Misa, Minmay and their long distance emigration starship Megaroad as they travelled towards the center of the Milky Way Galaxy: "God Knows" it's as if he's subtly asking the fans to move on and not dwell with what happened to the first Macross story... Studio Nue created Macross Plus, Macross Seven, and Macross Zero making each series Very different, strongly diverse from the previous one but each one expanding on the singular Macross universe. and now they've come back to directly tackle the original series with Macross Frontier - an almost verbatim telling of the first Macross TV series BUT without the visual cues of the first series glaring examples: the famous red and white Macross Kite logo, the Skull Squadron logo, the UN Government - some of the particular visual and narrative cues from the first Macross story whose ownership is being disputed by Harmony Gold and Big West ...... ************ whoa! there's a pungent example of geek brain diarrhea for you.....

awesome news for our Duke Togo!!!! (and awesome new avatar image for our Lord Breetai !) heheheh!!!

well, looking at the entire environmental design - we can see some parts of the city as complete reproductions of Earths famous places. There's San Francisco's Cable Cars, hilly streets, and Golden Gate bridge and Shibuya's 109 Building (or in this case "199 Building") and its large pedestrian crosswalks, ... These are details that that we merely ignore while watching most anime, but his various designs are immersive and quite revealing of the humanity which he gives to the futurism in his stories. looking at the environmental, architectural, and mecha designs in each of the series which he has handled (like Escaflowne and Arjuna) shows that he has a redesigned vision and version of the world Kawamori actually has some sort of continuity in there: human civilization' s expansion towards the stars and the expansion of technological knowledge but nevertheless preservation of it's human and humane culture (reproductions of Earth's famous structures as a major example). ... uh, where the heck did that come from? I dont know why there's a vintage car in there too !!! XD

Heheh, Thanks! i do think that's Mylene in there but i originally drew a girl with Basara's hairstyle for the Fire Valkyrie..... fortunately Zinjo made a nice last minute suggestion... XD

of course man! it's just hard to convince a nice looking girl to cosplay as a mecha girl in semi skimpy clothing when she can go the easy way and cosplay as any other pretty character and won't have to wear a heavy costume. that's why im so excited ... coz if done well this is a multiple hit thing: a large scratchbuild modelkit project, a cosplay costume, and uber fanservice *edit edit edit: finally got to see great pix, so sorry i overlooked our own MWGalleries XD *headslap* XMas greetings folks!!!

thanks, hellohikaru, just keep practicing, that's what i keep on doing! by the way, MACROSSWORLD, i have a little request : to the folks who have kit or toy pix of the VF-1S with strike pack, YF-19, and VF-21, can you please share some front, side, and back view photos or links leading to these photos ? you can share them with me via private message so we wont clutter this thread much. you know why im asking for these reference photos? coz i've found nice girls willing to take the challenge of cosplaying as these VFGirls for next year !!!! please help me out, and of course when im done, i'll share the cosplay photos with Macrossworld !!! I promise, I wont fail you (you've seen what i've done with cosplay mechas - just look at the Gundam and Zaku Girls up there on this thread) ! much appreciated!!!

wow, this one took too long BOMBAAAaaa!!! Happy Big Red Holidays, Macrossworld! remember folks this is art freely shared with you, you may download and save for your files, but please dont edit out my credits.

wait, was it that Emerald forces leader (Docker) who died, or was it that pilot jerk who had the hots for Mylene...uh, forgot his name, but he was a huge guy...

LOLz! im polidread everywhere i go, so folks (like myself) wont get confused with who they're talking with. i frequent a cosplay forum, a J-pop forum, and recently returned to a certain World-sized Macross forum...

are we still alive? XD PREVIEW!!! an entire year of backlog? woof!

ahahah, there's an entire thread about VF Girls , it just got buried under the other new threads! some of the older guys here might remember it... and here's the link to the VFGirls thread... http://macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?show...e+Fighter+Girls most folks love Bake's VF-1 Girls very much! those sexy streamlined babes!

i hear Basara had a thing going on for Gamlin... but since Gamlin was in the military, Basara felt quite ambiguous about his emotions... or was that one of those shonen ai fanfictions i was reading the other day...

happened last Hero Convention, over at the newly inaugurated SMX Convention Center at the Mall of Asia (the past few years, SM, that big conglomerate began construction of a really huge shopping mall/recreational park in reclaimed, rehabilitated land in Pasay City, Philippines - naming it the Mall of Asia). Huge place! Thanks for the comments!

somebody caught movie Starscream in mid-transformation? it's a fun idea! XD

and here's a quick trace of that new skull logo

well, i tried...

Wow, congratulations for the nice 25th anniv VT4 rendition (Variable Trainer, according to the decals ! ) i now share with you an old piece of fanart XD keep up the good work!

HAHAHA! or Myung's a little too short? no one can really please everybody here in Macrossworld XD but that's why i love this place! try and shoot down my Pilot suit too (im sure as heck it has tons of flaws - starting with the guy wearing it)

Hi! finally finished my version of the Sharon Apple project! lookee here: and the other photos ive placed at the fan works section! http://macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?showtopic=24386

so a couple of weeks ago, a pair old college buddies Rochelle and Israel drunkenly asked me if we could build a Sharon Apple computer for an upcoming event's cosplay. Any crazy Macross fan who is also a cosplayer would definitely have Sharon Apple in his list of characters to recreate. and of course it had been in my plans for the longest time but i just didnt have the push or reason to finally make it real. Even tho they're active members of local otaku circles, it's going to be their first cosplay so they were obviously very excited to portray anything from Macross Plus. Rochelle's idea to make a Sharon Apple computer was serendipitious and so we decided to push through. Sharon's made out of foam rubber sheets, some yards of faux black leather, a wooden frame on some casters, and blinking toy lights. oh, and we also had Israel portray Myung Fang Lone to accompany Sharon...she had her suit tailormade in just a week. i merely used my old Max Jenius flightsuit to keep up with them... more pix later! and Thanks to Yellowlightman for sharing his Sharon Apple scans! couldnt have finished it without the artwork! T_T

wow, that's a big help, it has the major parts designs in clear lineart! thanks!
