    I agree, the movies are banking on Hugh Jackman's star power over James Marsden's (the most screwed over man in movies). In terms of storytelling however I find Cyclops a much more compelling character. Wolvie is the dark loner without a past who acts as the brawn to Cyc's brains. Cyc is the strong leader character with a haunted past, a pilot, engineer, physics expert and shoots freaking laser beams from his eyes, how is he considered less cool then the guy with a steel skeleton and healing factor? I think this video shows my opinion of wolvie best: http://youtu.be/mhko3m7D6UA

    Looks interesting, but once again Cyclops gets the shaft. Come on people, give the man some love.

    Ooh, I like that, see that is why I post stuff to get comments an other options/insights, I will give that a try tonight. Also, do you think you can post them without the backgrounds, might save me some time, thanks.

    Fox the horse is dead, quit beating the poor beast.

    Here is the logo sans text, the text is is done as a separate element or text box. If you want the original visio file let me know.

    Ok, played around with this some more. FYI. I am compiling this is Powerpoint, easier to move bits around and resize them. The background Galaxy was made in photoshop, as were the character colorings. The fighters were designed and rendered in AutoCAD. The characters drawn by Exo based on concepts I provided. The original text and logo I created in VISIO. Anyway here are the changes. Old Text, recolored/positioned galaxy. Repositioned Fighters. Not sure how the jaggies reappeared in the text. New text same positions as above. New text, same galaxy as above, new fighter size and position.

    I'll work on those points tonight, wonder if I can do something in the character coloring to make their emotions more apparent. Also, is there a font out there there that would work better in your opinions? I don't mind if people have suggestions, but just saying you hate something without offering an alternative is not helpful.

    Very nice, your anatomy work is definitely getting better. Something about the proportions still feels a little off though, I just can't place my finger on it, her head maybe?

    Did a quick pass on the front cover again. I toned down the galaxy in the background and removed the aliasing around the title and fighters. I also removed the effect I had on the text, it was overdone. I haven't worked on the author portion yet. Now, I've had several comments here and on another forum about the text. What exactly is the problem with it? Maybe it's just because I created it, but I have no problem reading it. If it is too difficult to read then do you have a suggestion for an alternate text? How about the filtered versions, visuals only, did passing it through the filters help to make the whole more cohesive and less obvious that it was multi-media, yet still make an interesting cover?

    Exo you did a great job. Phyrox what specific issues do you have with the covers, front and back? Realize that the back cover is still a major WIP. I've tried a couple of PS fiters to try and make the image more seemless. I applied these to the whole image as a test what do you all think of these? Paint Daubs Angled Strokes Water Colors

    Phyrox, thanks it still a work in progress, especially the back cover. While I love the character art on the cover I am running into my personnal limits when it comes to the coloring of them. The lines around the edges I will have to fix I know, shouldn't be too hard to correct on the fighters and lettering though. I am really starting to see the lines around the characters too, will fix those, ugh how did I miss that?
  12. Knight26
    Some artwork I am working on my book rewrite. Exo helped me my doing the lineart of the characters on the front cover. Also, the text on the back cover is not final either. I would appreciate any comments. Front Cover: Back Cover:

    so he's back in ww2 uniform good I liked that one

    The Breast Fighter was also the design when Macross was intended to be a straight up comedy.
  15. Knight26
    So I've had some time to look over the design some more. It is very transformer in style, not very macross. However, I can understand why the went the route they did with it. The designer was attempting to bridge the gap between the VF-1 Valkyrie and the VA-6 Alpha. There are elements of both in their design, crammed into the original YF-4 airframe. I find the leg collapsing system interesting, and draws alot from the VF-1 leg delivery system but instead of using pistons it uses folding arms. The rest of the oragami in the transformation is illogical however, especially the backpacks, since I see no way for them to move up onto the back like that. Then there is the VA-6 style head that clearly could not fit through whatever gap is generated when the fuselage splits in half. I also see a lot of proportion changes between modes. Overall, I would give it a D grade.
  16. Knight26
    Wow, a really inelligent design. And is that an Alpha head on it?
  17. Knight26
    Ok, that pretty cool I must admit and not a subject we see too often, well done.
  18. Knight26
    Saw it, loved it, and yes the orbital mechanics issues of the locations are there, but in terms of storytelling they needed to something like that. Earth orbit is not exactly heavily populated with manned facilities after all. Also since this is set along an alternate timeline to our own, maybe those facilities are closer together as a result.

    I just wish the show would start to get smarter. The characters are just trying to hold on instead of move on or trying to find a source/cure. The show would get a lot more interesting IMHO, if someone came forth saying they found the source and they started moving out to find it and a possible cure. Yes it harkens back to the first season, but if done properly and smart, it could be really epic. Imagine if, there is a pattern to the walker herds, follow the pattern, find the source. What if the source is something that can be used to kill or cure the walkers, what then do you do it? I have an idea for my own Ghoul story that would follow that line of thinking, but I'm not sure if I will do anything with it.

    I remember that beast, back in the day Graham commented on it that the joints were a serious issue, at least with the resin proto and the cost made it prohibitive to make.
  21. Knight26
    Man I wish I could have made it. We were still debating going right before the furlough hit, dang it.
  22. Knight26
    I do hope this is true, that would be awesome.
  23. Knight26
    I will give the show 4 episodes, most Whedon shows, as well as most genre shows need about 4 episodes to really hit their stride. I think the biggest issue I have with this one is that it feels like the first two episodes were written to go together as one long episode. The studio/channel demanded it get cut into two episodes which required added scenes and hurt the overall flow. The biggest reason why I feel this was intended as a long episode, the character build up, and the bookending with Maria Hill at the beginning and Nick Fury at the end. I would like to see a cut of these two episodes as one long one, with a lot of the BS scenes removed, it would likely flow better.

    The car itself is not cheesy, just how they introduced the flying aspect
  25. Knight26
    The show was interesting and shows promise. A couple things of note, good and bad: Good: Nice use of other Whedonverse actors Nice callouts to the other marvel movies Interesting setup for Coulson (is he the real coulson, a clone, Life Model Decoy, cyborg?) Good setup for the rest of the series The C-17 interior is laid out very similar to Serenity, Bad: The flying Lola was super cheesy, could have been avoided or done better The C-17 modifications were just stupid. A second tail, that is just a copy and paste of the outboard wings: fail. Adding a third set of engines to said tail: Fail. Placing said engines almost directly in the exhaust path of the inboard main engines: Fail. If they wanted to make the C-17 VTOL, why not just put the QuinJet's lift fan in the tail, or have them pop out. Neutral: The super hero guy could have/should have been Luke Cage, that's just me, but I wanted him to be Luke Cage, maybe Marvel is holding out to do a Luke Cage movie or show. I will stick with it for a few episodes and see where it goes. But I want to see some Firefly alum come on and comment that their C-17 seems familiar, since the layout, as said is based on Serenity, just flipped around.
