Robotech

Sorry for the delay you guys!  First off, big props to everyone who took a shot at this!  Wow!  I forgot how hard it is to draw giant robots!?!?  Thus, I took the lazy route and dove in for a silhouette!  Talk to you guys soon!-

Robotechesque

Kinda, sorta vaguely inspired by Robotech.

Well I guess I’m going to be the anchor leg for this weeks entry. I’m a huge Macross fan so I just did sketch jams all week long to honor one of my favorite series. Robotech introduced me Macross and if people don’t know Robotech  actually comprised of 3 separate series that have nothing to do with each other in Japan. I included something from all three series, but my favorite of the three is Macross hands down. I’ve been wanting to do some fan art of Macross , as this is its 30th anniversary this year and this gave me a good excuse to final get some drawings for it done. I’ll probably color these up later, but for now I guess you guys get the line art.

All of these were done with ballpoint pen and HB pencil


Actually I did this one a few months back. I wanted to redesign the Hover Tank Mechs arm joints as it was the only thing that bothered me about it's original design. Still a classic! The Hover Tanks were in the second war in the Robotech saga (series is called Southern Cross in Japan). XD

This is Rook on a cyclone, which is from the third war in the Robotech saga (Known as Mospeada in Japan). I was a big fan of those cycle mecha and Rook as a character. 

Hikaru (a.k.a. Rick Hunter in Robotech) and his VF-1J Valkyrie in Battloid mode. This is the main mech in the Macross series. 

I wanted to do an action scene with a Valkyrie in Gerwalk mode so I really like how this one came out, although my favorite detail is the Excalibur destroid mech blowing away the Zentradi in the background. LOL

I had to get a little "Skull one" action with a Zentradi Battle Pod! 

And yeah a little fun with this one, as I thought about if I were a Valkyrie ace in the Macross universe and how I would rock out a custom paint job of my ill VF-IJ. D-Tron smaning em up son! Dayum! Dayum! DAAAAAAAAAAAYUM! XD

Here is my Battloid fresh after a battle in Macross City with Zentradi Battle Pod's deep within the SDF-1...

This week I am swamped in sketch card deadlines that I procrastinated on but I still wanted to do something for Timberline.

I have barely any knowledge of Robotech.  I looked it up online and was so overwhelmed by the amount of info out there I just picked one I thought looked cool.  This one here is Cyclone I think.  Technical robots and mechs are not my thing so I enjoy the opportunity to try something that I struggle with.

I am waiting for Don Austin to come in here and shmang this one out of the park.

ROBOTECH for Timberline.

Grandma-9000

Here's my contribution to this week's challenge (although I don't know how "Robotech" it may or may not be), and to the Kung-Fu Robot Challenge.  Rendered in ink and marker with photoshop color effects.

Grandma9000

Specs:

97 ft., 42.7 ton, Sally-13 Chassis, retrofitted to Mother-2000 and Grandma-9000 specs.

Weapons and defense systems:

• “YIP” missle defense system
• Flame-thrower
• Retractable flail bludgeons

Weaknesses / vulnerabilities:

• Old and rusty, made of replacement parts
• Stabilization monopod added to left arm as temporary support device, which also can be used as a weapon.
• Retractable bludgeons don't retract all the way anymore.
• Slow

History:

Grandma-9000 is a refurbished defense robot that has had numerous parts replaced over the years. The Grandma-9000 began it's life as a Sally-13 defense training vehicle, but was later retrofitted with detachable, multiple-user capabilities and became a Mother-2000. After the child units began to malfunction, some becoming co-dependent, and some becoming overly incompatible with the mother unit, the child units were repurposed to a military school. Unfortunately, the Mother-2000 didn't function well alone, and a companion “YIP” deployment system was added for stability and ranged defense
