Description ... Well, I was trying to think out how to make the Skygrasper support plane when this kind of popped into my head. I thought it was good reason to use the Archangel. Just playing around.

Software: Lightwave 3D8.3 (modelling, rendering), Macromedia Freehand (logos), Hexagon (UVs), Photohop (textures/postprocess).

Gundam is (c) Bandai/Sunrise/Sotsu Agency

..Could any of us ever persuade you to make a wallpaper sized version of this? I personally run a 1600 X 1200 screen. >_>;

I also want those decals for my MG Freedom kit. <_<; *Demanding!* Awesome work man, but you never do anything else.

Those decals were all that I could think of at the time and still haven't thought of better ones. As far as "anything else" I'm sure everyone else on DA is covering the "do anything else" part. 1600*1200 res must be nice....I'm still much lower.

Eh, it's only a 21" screen. But it's a nice high-quality CRT monitor, from ye olden days. I actually run a dual-screen display, but the other one's only 20". Finding wallpaper to go across both is a pain. >_>;

What font do you use for the lettering on those decals, incidently? And do you just whip up all the shapes (like the circles) as vectors?

Either Haettenscheiler/Verdana/Agent/Nadador/Jannisaries or I make my own (if there are few letters to show)

*sputters*
FANTASTIC WORK! Just like others have said, the sense of scale is impressive (though it seems a little flat, I guess the image being so small comparatively.) Freedom + Strike Rouge + Archangel x you = win.

sandrum In reply to crybringer [2006-11-11 02:52:14 +0000 UTC]

Yes, the image is scaled down a lot, less than half it's size and cropped a bit. If it was spread out more it might evoke more depth....might

zenadorion In reply to sandrum [2006-11-11 12:35:16 +0000 UTC]

Hehehe... but isn't it awesome to see gundams fight with better effects, better approach with better movements? I've seen Vandread and Last Exile mixed with 3D chemistry and I can really say they're cool. Including Power Rangers series hehehe...

I bet there are contracts binding Sunrise and its co-affiliates to do something different, don't you think? Just a thought really

sandrum In reply to zenadorion [2006-11-11 12:55:56 +0000 UTC]

I just want a good story, and the last computer driven gundam didn't deliver it. I don't really want cool or smoothness. I really like hand drawn work a lot more that computer stuff. it's more impressive to me simply because it's hand drawn. I might just be old school.
