grebo guru Posted October 30, 2006 Share Posted October 30, 2006 Hey all, I've seen three nice pieces of color artwork here for the VF-1SOL. Fab stuff. I remember seeing the CG animated commercial and I was highly impressed. Is there any line art anywhere for the VF-1SOL? I saw a posting by Nanashi about the VF-1SOL, but since his site doesn't seem to be open I can't go in and check. Oh, one more thing: it seems that everyone around here tends to call the game "Scrambled Valkyrie", but the katakana for the game's title quite clearly does not have the "d" (well, it would be "do" in Japanese, but anyway). The game's name, really, would be more accurately romanized as Scramble Valkyrie. Which sounds a lot better to my ears... A Valkyrie which takes off in a hurry, rather than a Valkyrie that's all mixed up. Grebo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's header says "Shooting Macross" though. Thank goodness THAT didn't make it as an official title. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the white drew carey Posted October 31, 2006 Share Posted October 31, 2006 There's a pretty entertaining thread from the end of 2003 about this game: Thread Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grebo guru Posted October 31, 2006 Author Share Posted October 31, 2006 Yes, thanks, I read that thread already. I didn't notice any mention of the "scrambled" vs "scramble" issue (though I may have missed it). My main question, however, regards the question of line art for the VF-1SOL. Anyone know where I can find it? (If it exists.) 10-Q.

If anywhere, you'd probably find it in a game or hobby magazine from the time. Possibly even an ad. I wonder if anyone has the manual to scan?

The lineart of the VF-1-SOL is not in the Scrambled Valkyrie booklet. AFAIK, the only lineart shown was on a Japanese flyer for the game. I have a picture of the flyer somewhere around here, but it's resolution isn't good enough to make out fine details. Nanashi actually has the original flyer, scanned it in, cleaned it up in PS and posted it here. It was a fine piece of work, but went down with his site. Hopefully someone here saved it to their hard drive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
valk1j Posted November 3, 2006 Share Posted November 3, 2006 I have it, but I can not pull the image from the page that I saved. Nanashi had a thing about saving images from his site. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JB0 Posted November 3, 2006 Share Posted November 3, 2006 I have it, but I can not pull the image from the page that I saved. Nanashi had a thing about saving images from his site. If you saved the page, the image is sitting unprotected in a directory with the name of the HTML file. He employed a few "cute" tricks with his pages that provided minimal deterrent and signifigant annoyance. Heck, worse comes to worst, you can just print-screen the page and paste it into Paint or something. There's really no effective way to stop someone from "stealing" images off your site. If they can be viewed, they can be "stolen." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
valk1j Posted November 3, 2006 Share Posted November 3, 2006 (edited) I'll see if I can clean it up a little. But here it is. Edit: Cleaned up a little. Edited November 3, 2006 by valk1j Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The image showed up as a .tmp file which i then opened with paint and re-saved it as a .jpg. It lost a little resolution though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it was a GIF originally, but Im not sure. Either way, you got it out, and that's the important part. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
valk1j Posted November 3, 2006 Share Posted November 3, 2006 That worked better. Did a little bit of clean up to the image. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grebo guru Posted November 3, 2006 Author Share Posted November 3, 2006 Ohhhh BABY. Thank you very very much!!! Ah, it looks better than I expected. Manoman... Thanks very much to everyone!!! Grebo PS -- If anyone DOES actually have the flyer, I'd be thrilled to get a hi-res scan of the image. However, what has been provided here is quite beautiful. I'm thrilled! That worked better. Did a little bit of clean up to the image. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheLoneWolf Posted November 3, 2006 Share Posted November 3, 2006 (edited) Hehe, so you figured it out on your own Yup, that's the image I was talking about. Though, I think Nanashi would have a cow that his logo was removed. Credit where credit is due, the original image was small and purple & white, Nanashi did scan it at a higher res and recolor it in the traditional b&w color scheme. Aside from that lineart, the flyer is nothing to write home about. I'll post it here and at the MacrossNexus along with the Scrambled Valkyrie story once it's done being translated.

GrimlockCW Posted November 3, 2006 Share Posted November 3, 2006 (edited) that thing looks like a hash between the VF0, VF1, and VF19 (feet and diamond force looking head.. i forget the variant name, and i'm to lazy to look it up ATM ) with some freaky deaky Mac7 Basara 19 sound booster looking gear popping off it in Battroid and a funny little gun... drop that oddball gear, and that is one sweet looking little bird IMO! shame it won't get a figure... or model... or anything... ahh well Edited November 3, 2006 by GrimlockCW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I put Nanashi's logo back in. I will remove the image in a few days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheLoneWolf Posted November 5, 2006 Share Posted November 5, 2006 Don't feel guilty about leaving the image up, it's so rare that it deserves to be on the Internet somewhere Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
