Woah, thank you!  And well done, everyone!

Wow, that's very cool!  Thanks!

There is a 2D Gallery that you could post the painting to, and even a Mixed Media Gallery, since technically you are using both Poser and watercolors.

This is interesting.  In 3ds max, I was simulating a draped bed sheet that was partially flipped over (thanks pjz99!), which made both sides visible.  Then it showed a normals problem after importing into P7.  Didn't like the max cloth object, I guess.  

So you unknowingly solved my problem by mentioning normals_forward.  

But I would love to apply this to bedsheets anyway, if possible.

Tissaia, correct me if I'm wrong, but did you say earlier that you did not want us to favorite you?  I notice that you just added me with the "Critique Group" tag, but I've lost track of what was said after 13 pages of posts. :)

I love this!  I haven't had constructive criticism like this since art school.  

Thanks for this idea, Karen!

Okay, add me too, please.  I haven't posted much lately, because most of my work are WIPs, and the WIP gallery is usually deficient of visitors and constructive comments.

Please feel free to comment on my previous work as well, even though some of them are not complete compositions, as much as pictures that say. "Look!  I built some anime objects!  Wheeeee!"

But yes, constructive commentary, for a change, would be more than welcomed.

I guess we did kind of jack this thread. :) That's the same track that made me want the OST. I may have been able to help myself, as far as the CD goes, but thanks. We might want to take this conversation to email, because I might not notice a PM notification for days (even though Renderosity is my homepage).

I remember that line. It was silent in there, not even music playing. My favorite line was from one of the soldiers chasing "Johnny," shouting "Winters? WINTERRRRS!!!" and firing his rifle into the air. I thought it was kinda funny to hear some Robotech voices in the old dub. Good thing that the old VHS tape has held up so well. Never did get my hands on the OST to part 2, instead I got the image album (there was a rather nice picture of Eve on the CD jacket, heh). One of those tracks was playing during the many beer drinking scenes.

Yeah, that's the footage. I had to go watch it again; hadn't seen it in ages. there is no Garland besides the wreckage of the original, and he was suddenly flying a fighter of some sort. They play really awful music instead of dialogue and sound effects, stuff blows up, and Shogo and Yui are hugging at the end. It was well animated, but kinda dumb. I'm really glad I haven't seen the Robotech movie, because I can't imagine how they crammed all that stuff into it.

I just compared it to a still from MZ 23 part 1, and it is the original Garland. Never saw the Robotech movie, but my copy of MZ 23 part 2 is a "special English edition" from around '88 that has a new introduction with unsused animation from part 1. There was a Garland in it, but I don't know if it was a different version. Whatever it was, it had nothing to do with the story of Megazone. I've got 4 of the BGC CDs. love that 80's music! Never saw AD Police, but i remember the advertisments from Newtype. nice artwork! And i'll have to look for Dirty Pair now.:) Actually, a Garland was something I always wanted to build in 3ds max. I just don't have enough visual references for it... yet. :)

For Megazone, I've got the 2-book "photo mangas" of parts 1 and 2, and "the Official art of Megazone 23 part 2". No books from part 3, though I've seen it without subtitles and had little idea of what was happening. No nude posters of Eve, but there are plenty of Eve nudes in the Mikimoto art books. I was as obsessed with her as other fans were with Minmay, and the part 2 version of Eve gave me a proclivity for green haired anime women that my friends still tease me about. One of my characters in the galleries is named Eve in homage to her. :) BTW, according to robotech.com, a variable Garland figure is supposed to be out soon. I've seen some of the DP movies, about half of the TV series, and actually enjoyed the Adam Warren comic adaptations a lot. I saw pictures of the OAV's waay back in old Newtype mags, but never saw the episodes. one of my favorites is Bubblegum Crisis (the original OAV's), and the soundtracks. That, and Megazone 23 part 2 were the first anime I ever owned. All of this makes me remember what an expensive hobby this is!

Actually, this is the proper setting for the GITS 2 figure (I have the book, but haven't read it either. Gawd, the illustrations are nice!). Not pictured are numerous Gundam, Macross, and Megazone 23 books. :) That's pretty cool setup you have there! and that poster is a Macross illustration that I have never seen before. And I see that you have the Macross "portfolio" of little posters, too. And Kei and Yuri! I have Kei sitting inside a cabinet and forgot all about her. :) Unlike your sturdy Valkyries, I'm to scared to stand my old and fragile variable VF-1 models on the monitor. I don't know many fans of the 80's era anime either. My favorite mecha designs are all from the Macross/Mospeada/SC/Gundams of the 80's. And though i never got any SC products, i have Mospeada cycle and mecha models reboxed as "GoBots" in various states of assembly. I could probably spend a year finishing all those kits.

this Kusanagi. I don't know which figure series because the original package is buried somewhere. I've seen one Southern Cross model in my life, and it was a figure named Jun something, in his personal armor. i'd love to have seen the mecha model kits. Robotech for me was a gateway series for all other anime, so it has a place in my heart. It made me build 7 or 8 Valkyrie kits long ago. but after seeing the 3 original series in Japanese, they all put Robotech to shame. I think my favorite Macross series is Macross Plus (I'd love some of those toys), but I still haven't seen Macross 7. Macross Zero... well, the flight scenes were nice.

I have a Major Kusanagi on my monitor, an an unbuilt Max-type super Valkyrie from about... 10 years ago, on top of an unfinished Gundam model from... 15 years ago, on top of an Orguss model from, um, the 1980's. Dang, i'm getting old. But, it's a shame no one has tried making those uniforms for Poser. the only other Macross clothing I have found is the pilot's helmet from Royloo. A skirt and shoes would be easy to adapt, it's building the jacket and messing with joints that are beyond my skills right now.
