Description
I was finally able to finish this from a sketch I made a long time ago! A little bit of Robotech Fan-art-fiction, this veritech fighter is combat testing a prototype cockpit that gives the pilots better visibility in gerwalk mode. I tried to keep a sense of believability here by sketching out how different pieces would mesh up when it transforms and referencing such things like the rifle with the Bradley cannon, since its unlikely it could handle something more powerful. Glad to finally have something that isn't under NDA that I can show off!Β One of the problems with actually starting to get work is that you don't have any time for personal painting. I've Β just been putting whatever spare time I have between freelancing into this and it has been a nice break from that , since all of my work lately has been fantasy-based. Thanks for looking!Related content

Amazing work on coming up with your own version of the VF-1. I really do like this idea for Gerwalk Mode.Β
Now I'm sorry for this in advance but the technical and mechanical side of my mind finding flaws in the design already. Like the one that I want to point out is where the pivot point is located on the nose. instead of having more of the cockpit's mass above the pivot point just in front of the control panel that the pilot uses. You could instead have the pivot just behind the RIO's position thus still giving the pilot and RIO good visual view of what's in front of them without make the Valkyrie too top heavy that it already is when in Gerwalk mode. And the added benefit of having the pivot point located behind the RIO is that it would also make it easier for them to protect more of the Valkyrie's lower body as well as the cockpit.Β Β

Haha, it wouldn't be Roy unless he did something sick like block a shot in mid-transformation.

Very cool but you might want to flip the image horizontally. Β All the decals are pointing in the wrong direction.Β
