Description 3”x4” Pencil sketch colored with Painter Classic. This was supposed to be just one panel in a 2 page comic for Captain JLS’ Roboblog comic contest, but considering how long this one panel took, I’m not so sure I’ll actually finish even one page. Painter Classic is probably not the best choice for coloring a comic, but I wanted something artsy and Photoshop wasn’t working at the moment anyway. Since I’m pretty happy with the result (I usually don’t do digital art), I thought I would share.

This scene takes place about a decade after the Invid invasion of Earth (about 2042). An Invid scout flies high above a crashed Zentradi ship (one of thousands that still litter the surface of the Earth) surrounded by humble farms.

yeah I realize that, but its the same sorta staged setting i think his battlecruiser had a few more yellow tanks alog the chassis.  but even though the 3 series had nothing to do with each other originally its interesting to see a zentradi destroyer wreck in in the invid invasion.

That it is good. I'm sure if they had the money they would have done that.

Nice. That's one of the tiny scout ships or frigate if I recall correctly.

That's a pretty awesome piece! The farmhouse in the shadow of the Thurivel Salan is a nice touch... it just has a real feeling of portraying Robotech's generations of war...

Choedan-Kal In reply to GrimlynTales [2009-11-11 15:13:11 +0000 UTC]

Thanks It was actually supposed to be one of the smaller scout ships, but from this angle, they look pretty similar a side from scale.

Choedan-Kal In reply to TheHiddenPhoenix [2008-03-06 01:53:46 +0000 UTC]

lol true - although in the novel continuity, Breetai was a miner, so maybe being a farmer isn't too far off Actually, I was thinking more along the lines of these being human cottages huddled up next to the crashed warships, but the idea of some Zentradi going agrarian is kind of cool too.

This brings back some memories. It's great to see an image of post war Robotech world.

You've done very well for not using Painter very much.

Dude, Robotech rocks! I've been a fan for two decades... animes, books, RPG, video games... everything. I like how you have such a serene scene with the farmhouse in the shadow of the wreckage. What was the comic to be about?

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

Choedan-Kal In reply to Treyos [2007-12-19 23:57:36 +0000 UTC]

Ah, did you first catch it back in 85 too? I’ve been a fan ever since although I haven’t really done that much fan art. I do have some hilarious drawings back from when I was around 5 years old that might count as fan art. I’m pretty sure the amorphous green blobs were supposed to be Zentradi ships I never got into the RPGs although I may have to check out the new book when it is released in Jan or Feb (when ever the new date is).

As for the comic, I don’t want to say too much because it looks like Captain JLS is extending the contest deadline, so I might be able to finish in time to submit, but basically it was going to be a quick character piece on Rand – a kind of flash back to before he met Scott. Unfortunately, I haven’t the experience yet to really compress a story down to something that is both short and engaging (I tend to be more long winded by nature), so with a two page limit, its really going to be more of a set up for an unspecified adventure.

Treyos In reply to Choedan-Kal [2007-12-20 04:39:40 +0000 UTC]

Sounds pretty cool, I look forward to seeing it complete... for the contest or otherwise. And yes, I watched it on TV when it first hit the airwaves and was just blown away. It was like Transformers fighting alien giants! Loved the Invid Invasion but the station I watched it on drove me nuts by restarting the whole series without showing how the trilogy ended... twice! But I own the whole dvd collection now, so all is good.

I haven't played the RPG in forever... it's probably one of the few games that could get me back into ye olde pen and paper RP. I basically just do the play-by-post stuff these days. I'd love to find a Robotech RP like that, too, come to think of it.
