The Women of Robotech...

... Living the life of adventure!

Talk about overloading in cuteness. Damn! Well, I always wanted to draw the women of Robotech. I never realize I'd do it so early. I know what you're thinking. Where are the Robotech: New Generation characters (The third chapter of Robotech for those wondering -ed)? Well, I was going to add the blondie "Rook Bartley", but I realized that I don't actually need to anymore. With Harmony Gold milking the New Generation franchise for all its worth, I don't need to include any of them.

That, and the fact that I don't have any reference images of the New Generation characters. Anyway!

COOL THINGS HERE!

Yes, this is something I worked on for at least three days before giving up on it to work on something else. I think it's pretty neat, so I urge you to copy that link and watch it. As my longtime readers know, fan-made content is a rarity these days.

All the details about this "sketch test" or "flash animatic" are explained in the film. I actually am liking the idea of this kind of preview film, and I might do more in the future, so I wouldn't have to wait three months to actually see my fanfilm in motion.

To coincide with the release of the fanfilm, I was planning to make a sketch book filled with ret-con Robotech designs. I know how iffy the idea of ret-conning Robotech is, especially with the hardcore fans, but Shoji Kawamori did it with his feature film Do You Remember Love? So I did my own for Robotech. Anyway, Harmony Gold's Creative Director also does it so there!

That's all for now! Enjoy! And screw the Creative Director!

4 - lynn, Oh yeah... Miriya! But then, adding too many people might've cluttered the image! At least I tried to get Claudia right. Man she's a tough girl to get. (Comment this)

5 - The tech guy, Yes, this is forum signature of Brooklyn Red Leg a.k.a. Rabid Southern Cross Fan, a.k.a. The Go To Guy for all things Masters.

I actually encountered this years ago, and damn, only 400 signatures? That little? Kinda sad actually... Last time I checked... Maybe 320?

I tried joining that Southern Cross yahoogroup as well, although I am not optimistic about it being too active and all.

Thanks! (Comment this)
