Description
I only did two color pieces for the Macross book, more or less for fun and also as I expect Palladium will do a deluxe large edition where they usually do print color work if they have it. So this getting posted here first I think.This was done pretty quickly using one of the basic Kawamori model sheets as a ref but still drawn by me by hand. I thought it would be kinda ace to see a Valkyrie breaking the sound barrier so that's what I did. Also seemed amusing to make it one of those inspiration "join the so-and-so" type posters
Though it's a Veritech here they'll always be Valkyries to me.[link]

I love the Valkyrie one of the coolest starfighters ever based on one of the coolest real fighter jets ever made.
The VF-1 Valkyrie is Number one closely followed by the GA-TL1 Longsword.

I always wondered if the term "U.N. Spacy" was a particularly bad case of Engrish.

well, ARMED (forces) = armyΒ NAVAL (forces) = navy, so SAPCE (forces) = spacy, makes sense to me

Somehow that wouldn't surprise me XD Engrish be an institution in their side of the pond, often yielding hilarious results.

I love all of your Robotech stuff... I remember getting up at 6 am every Saturday morning when I was--musta been 14--a kid and watching it. Absolutely loved it. Then, in the '90s I played Rifts (another Palladium property) and through that discovered the Palladium Robotech stuff. So this is a double win for me
Needless to say, I'm relentlessly

Looks great.
I grew up watching Hobotech, seeing bums survive on a high tech planet ruled by robots was inspiring. The third season they introduced the Big Rock Candy Gateway, so our bum heroes could return home but I missed that year's episodes because we finally got a real tv.

Laugh now but maybe I will do a series of pictures on Hobotech.

*Very* nice! While I never was able to get through the whole of the Robotech series (the constant narration of events we could plainly see grated on me), Robotech/Macross still hold a special place in my heart, if only for the cool mecha.

I grew up during the golden age of 80s anime so I know all about the differences between Robotech and Macross. Super Dimension Fortress Macross was the original show that aired in Japan, circa 1982. Robotech aired in the united States in 1985 so Robotech was the off story, so to speak, not Macross. The only way they could air Macross on US TV, back then, was to expand it to over 60 episodes. In order to do that they added two more shows, Super Dimension Cavalry Southern Cross and Genesis Climber Mospeada which came to 85 episodes including Macross. A new story was created to tie them all together and the new show became Robotech. For better or worse this was the only way they could aid the shows and it did indeed turn a lot of young kids on to anime back in the 80s. Different times back then
Anyway my thanks, glad you like it

The PrandtlβGlauert singularity looks alittle off to me though, seems to be sitting atop the Valkyrie instead of encircling it.

Doh! I totally grabbed the wrong file, I thought I had grabbed the edited one... hell I don't remember if Palladium got the fixed file or not at this point. Too late now.
Thanks a ton for pointing it out man. Not a huge deal but still. I'll send the right one up in a few.
