Jasonc Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 That doujin doesn't look like Tommy's art at all. If it was his, the clothes would look painted on, and he'd look like he's hopped up on steroids. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

j_wong00 Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 (edited) You're using the word "try" in the loosest possible sense, right? I figured that goes without saying...Don't get me wrong, I'm not defending them in any stretch of the imagination, but it may be a reason why they are so gun-shy about going in total different directions.

EXO Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 Meh, who knows which came first... the valkyrie illustration is lineart and someone slapped Hikaru on top and colored ... but definitely not Yune... unless he use to draw better back then. I figured that goes without saying...Don't get me wrong, I'm not defending them in any stretch of the imagination, but it may be a reason why they are so gun-shy about going in total different directions. it's not that they're gun shy... it's that they are directionless.

Jasonc Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 I figured it wasn't Yune art. Nevertheless, it does apear to be copied, one direction or another. I like the pic in the doujin. Don't care much for the colored one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lobizon Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 (edited) This is no Tommy Yune art IIRC the first time I saw this picture was in the Robotech 10th anniversary soundtrack.

waters7 Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 Yeah, that picture was at Robotech: Perfect Soundtrack Album (10th Anniversary Edition) released in 1996 by Streamline Pictures. Yes, it is in the booklet that came in the soundtrack but looking thru my Macross and Robotech VHS tapes I realized that this same picture was used for the cover of Robotech Perfect Collection (Macross) Vol 3 which was released by Streamline Pictures in 1994. I also went thru some of my Macross books and was unable to find if this image was originally produced by the Studio Nue/Artland staff. Maybe it was something that was commissioned by Carl during the time that he was with Streamline Pictures. Since Tom Bateman worked in the production of the 10th anniversary CD, maybe he can shed some light as to who the author is... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

akim Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 Original artwork comes from Macross...

Einherjar Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 I thought the lack of chunky mechanical designs and Superman-esque character proportions (aka just good enough for comic books) should've made that obvious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same here, and anime conventions too, where most have never seen Robotech, but have heard of it, and even fewer have really heard of Macross- thanks HG.

You'd think she'd put the site up in Engrish at least, since if there's anybody in Japan that really cares about Robotech, it's the soldiers stationed there.
