Yeah, I'm surprised too, BJ. Ah well, it fits this plane perfectly, now I just need to somehow do a version for aerial carriage like the old F9C. Hmm, the return of dirigible aircraft carriers...

Well, after surviving my first exam, and an all-nighter writing a term paper, this evening I finally got time to draw a bit. First up is an updated F-27C Warhawk II with a new tail, paneling changes on the forward fuselage, minor corrections to the weapon scaling, and the return of the FAST pack less-observable equipment package.

Also, minor updates on the F-31A, mostly the renaming and moving the gunpod aftward to clear the nose door (a dumb mistake on my part).

I started painting and shading a VF-4 today as Max Jenius' blue-painted VF-1J from SDF:Macross. A Milia version will follow later.

EDIT: Updated

Talos · 05-05-2008, 07:38 PM

Work continues on both Max and Milia's VF-4.

EDIT: Max's VF-4 updated with a lot of work done to the engines and wings. The changes will filter down to Milia's plane later.

Nice! You're progressing quite well with the shading. Takes a lot more work than just a profile, doesn't it?

Talos · 05-06-2008, 05:19 PM

Thanks, BJ. It does take a lot of work, but I'm enjoying it a lot.

EDIT: And more work done on it, all that really needs to be done now is more shading and highlighting, some minor coloring like the wing lights, and some small tweaking.

nice work

Talos · 05-08-2008, 07:54 AM

Thanks XRaider.

I got a bit more done today, biggest change was the switchover to more realistic and subdued colors, in this case one of the FS595 blues. I have the next couple of days off since I just finished exams and hopefully I'll get some VF-4s done sometime very soon.

**B.J.** · 05-08-2008, 04:20 PM

The desaturated colors look MUCH better!

Talos · 05-08-2008, 04:42 PM

Yeah, I think so too. I was originally trying to replicate the anime look before I decided to go the realistic route. The biggest change is with Milia's plane, which is now painted in overall FS 11136 Insignia Red. Max's is painted right now in a slightly different tone then Insignia Blue, I can't recall the FS number off the top of my head.

Talos · 05-09-2008, 02:02 AM

Well, I got some more done, though not as much as I wanted to. However, I did fiddle with some more color schemes and variations for the plane and thought you all might enjoy seeing the WiPs. I'm posting one in Max's blue with white stripes and beige radome, Milia's red with black stripes and white radome (Based on her Macross 7 VF-1J), and Hikaru's white with red stripes and white radome. I'm planning to have the following all done together:

Max's
Blue with white stripes and beige radome
Blue with white stripes and white radome
Blue with black stripes and white radome

Milia's
Red with white stripes and beige radome
Red with white stripes and white radome
Red with black stripes and white radome

Hikaru's
