They always look cool
>>22632308It has big swords and it was supposed to lead the Maganacs.>>22632464Deathscythe was definitely the best of the three with its stealth gimmick and the wing/shields turning it nearly invincible.
>>22632464They didn't have specific roles because each Gundam was sent in a solo mission. Them getting into a group wasn't planned, but still, each Gundam has a specific purpose.Wing = All-Around/Airborne FightingDeathScythe = Infiltration/Stealth (hence the camouflage)Heavyarms = Base bombardmentSandrock = Militia/Desert Operations (Leading Maganac)Altron = Melee
>>22632714Another thing to consider is that each unit was customized to the individual pilots before Operation Meteor. There's no reason for a proto-Shenlong, made for Wu-Fei's fiancee to exist if the armaments were already planned.
>>22632218>osmosis browsing 4chan
>>22635843Yes, as in I was busy reading other boards which were not /m/ where the invasion of Gaza could be discussed, where I could follow or catch glances of other people's discussions of why this was happening and what was going on. Is this a foreign fucking concept? If you browse any board you will pick up on snippets of information of varying kinds just by being in its presence even if you're not actively looking for them. Do I need to emphasize to you that I do not respect Israel because they seem to be in the habit of repeatedly acting like gigantic fucking jews or something? You are free, again, to explain to me exactly how my initial, very literally half baked assessment is factually wrong at any time.
Have you ever read or written fanfiction for /m/ shows? I'm not just talking about the more traditional kinds of fanfiction about characters doing something, but also original stories that are technically set in certain universes created by others.
Since Valvrape was already brought up, there was this one fanfic for it that I read ages ago called Touched By The Moon that focused on Saki and Haruto.Shame it hasn't been updated since 2016, I actually liked most of what I'd read.
>>22630787I think the fanfic Founding Of An Empire is, despite the spelling errors, one of the best fics, and what Valvrave should’ve always been. Heck, I wish that that author got hired by Sunrise.Still working on my own Valvrave fic btw. I’m about two thirds of the way through it.
>>22456314>Have you ever readPlenty of times, yeah. I'd argue I've read more fanfiction as a whole than actual literature, lmao. But there's something endearing when a fan enjoys a franchise so much that he is willing to write hundreds of words for free for other fellow nerds to read. Yeah, plenty of shit, there's a reason why fanfiction has the reputation it has, but every blue moon you find something decent enough.>or written fanfiction for /m/ shows?Same too, i write a Sekirei x SRW OGs fanfic just to kill time when at work. Why those two? because my autism for a shitty harem manga nobody cares about know no bounds and OGs was simple enough. Hard to write when there's little documentation on names and stuff.Doubt I'll finish it so i don't bother posting it, not like i think its decent enough anyway.Also have a couple (unfinished and unpublished) side works, like a Area 88: Azur Lane or a Gundam Puru side story, and of course i've tried the foolish endeavor of writing my own SRW. Again, not like i'll ever finish them but they help pass the time, i guess.

I’m trying and making 3d mech models for a while now but one part has always urked me: the hip joint.Most of the times when I look for references its either a magic ball joint thing, it’s covered by cloth or it’s just a shaft so in reality it wouldn’t be able to spread its legs.What is the best example of a hip joint that you’ve seen/preferred method. Sort of at the end of my rope, at this point I might just cheat and make it a magic ball joint.Pic is my main reference for what I’m making.
I don't know what constitutes a 'hip' on your example, go look at some real world things you can take inspiration from.
>>22635709If it's just a 3D model you could get away with the magic ball joint. You don't need to go full CAD autism on your fictional giant robot. But if you are daring then yeah, looking at actual CAD projects might give you a pointer on functional robot joints.
>>22635709Most modern gunpla models have a three-piece hip joint with a polycap, polycap holder, and an attachment point on the leg to allow for thigh swivel. Unless you're actually putting weight on these, you could probably fudge the actual mechanism.
For further reference, this is from the HG MAILeS Byakuchi manual.
Why are people so enamoured by Ramba Ral and the Gouf when he appears for a few chapters before blowing himself up?He gets like two scenes.
>>22627857Great post, thank you.
>>22621371>He gets like two scenesCompilation movie fags need to be berated so hard.
>>22627122Ramba Ral sees Sayla Mass, whom he recognizes as Artesia Som Deikun, who he knew when she was little, aboard the White Base when he infiltrates it - as an enemy combatant. He has a moment of weakness where confusion and horror overcomes his ability to keep his cool. The narrator sums it up as "In the heat of battle, Ramba Ral forgot how to fight."Now watch the series, you ferocious cockmongler.
>>22621371I read the novelization first where he has a much bigger role. I thought it was weird that he was just some villain of the week in the anime.
>>22625858Amuro was at that point the experienced MS-on-MS combatant in the universe.
I‘d be interested to know if there are any drawfags on /m/ that designed their own Mecha, or variations of existing mecha.
>>22633644>drawing more basic forms in perspectiveindividually, for the most part i am, but in combination i find it much harder>line thickness/directionnot super confident but i have a rudimentary understanding from practicing calligraphy with a fountain pen for a good while>design own or make fanartmainly making my own designs, which seems much more challenging than fan art. sometimes i’ll have a certain form or philosophy behind the look, like wanting a more organic and curved look rather than sharp and geometric, or like taking design cues from existing objects like cars or even animals or certain body types. i find it hard to make something look cohesive though, outside of basic shapes i’m terrible at deciding details or panel lining or whatever especially if i don’t have an idea of the internal mechanical structure>goalsalways to get better of course. in the somewhat short term id like to at least dabble in making a short visual novel>artists/ipsi like the mechanical designs in aura battler dunbine, nausicaa, patlabor, FSS, dune/lensman/old scifi. izubuchi’s designs are cool and as much as nagano gets shit on for being pretentious his earlier designs for mecha and fashion are just astoundingly beautiful imo. i like designs that feel heavy but have grace and elegance in them that gives the clunkiness its own beauty. i also love the weirder gundam series designs, just because they’re so odd at times. i know it’s ridiculous to mention such beautiful designs while mine still look like middle schooler scribbles, but damn they can be so beautiful sometimes. even small things, like in ghost in the shell the guy’s fingers split open into lots of tiny sub fingers, i just adore that shit. it just feels hard climbing the mountain of getting to that point, i’m already pretty old (30) so i feel like my chance has already passed. feels like im much better with words, and that trying to learn drawing is an insult to those who can draw naturally
>>22633804>basic formsSomething you could consider is to find some photos of tanks, planes or other vehicles to study - try to replicate their proportions using basic forms, then gradually up the fidelity.>Why tanks etc. and not mechs?Generally speaking, vehicles will have fewer forms and points of rotation for you to worry about. This makes them more approachable than a full mech for a form study, while giving you opportunities to try drawing some of the details that you'll often see incorporated on mechs (ie. paneling, greebles, etc.)>line thicknessRight now I think the most impactful thing for you to pin down is line control - being able to have your line go where you want it to smoothly, without requiring too much trial and error (ie. "ctrl+z spam"). There are exercises for this that you can use to get stabler and smoother lines.>designAwesome! What you refer to as the "form/philosophy" is sometimes referred to "form language" or "visual language" - it's the sum of all design decisions going into an object that visually distinguishes it from other objects of a similar nature.For example, Soviet cast metal / submarine-influenced spacecraft have an organic and curved form language, as opposed to Western aeronautics-derived geometric and sharp spacecraft.You get better at identifying and applying form language by familiarizing yourself with their origins - building a "visual library", so to speak. The aforementioned vehicle studies will have the secondary effect of slowly building up your visual library of machinery, which you can then apply to your mechs.>goalsComment too long.

>>22633804>>22633912(cont.)For example, if you want to do pilot portraits with expression sheets, you may also need to do facial and emotion studies of the kinds of people you want to include in your VN (or outsource it if you want to focus on mechs).For mechs, maybe try gathering some examples of what you want to attain as a intermediate goal - then break down what skills you'll need to get there.>artists/ipsIt's good that you have a clear idea of and can articulate what kind of designs you like. Don't disparage yourself for looking up to designers who are better than you, that's how it's supposed to be - it'd be a lot more concerning if you mentioned exclusively shit designs. It's a lot easier to teach how to draw than it is to teach good taste.Something you should consider is compiling a folder of your favorite designs, regardless of source - set it as a scrolling wallpaper or screensaver on your desktop. Have it be a reminder of what you're working towards.>I'm already pretty old (30)Missed your chance for what? If it's about working as a professional designer, that's not necessarily the case. Ralph McQuarrie, for example, started learning how to draw in his 30s before he went on to do principal design work on the likes of Star Wars and Battlestar Galactica in his 40s. That said, there are other factors affecting the entertainment design industry that make it very difficult to get into right now - an oversaturated market, investors pulling out, lack of faith in new IP etc. But your age wouldn't really be a significant one. There are more entertainment designers in the industry on their second career path than you might think.Comment too long. Click here to view the full text.
>>22633912wonderful advice, thank you so much!>vnit’s sort of a romance game at the core, the player would be an engineer who repairs mecha, and there would be four pilots as potential love interests.>componentsmainly character portraits and backgrounds, and definitely mecha designs. it’s still just on paper, but i enjoy just thinking about it. picrel is the rough sketch of a protagonist, or at least his outfit. i have a vague idea of the pilots too, but they’re pretty much just handsome men which makes drawing them easier since i like that subject matter>>22633943>folder of designsgood idea again, thanks! right now i have a lose pics floating around, consolidating them would definitely be a good idea>not oldthat’s good point too, im not looking for a job job. it’d be great if i could do indie gamedev, since i can already write pretty well and code decently enough to have made a short game already. it is a learning process i guess, and age can be a boon that’s easy to overlook at one’s. thanks for the thoughtful and in depth response!!

https://nyaa.si/view/1801041https://nyaa.si/view/1808448Second batch with 26-50 is out now. Full details about the upscale process are in the Nyaa posts, but basically, this is an upscale of the original SD version of SEED. It was done using a custom upscaling model trained specifically on the HD Remaster.This version is based on the SD Blu-rays from Rightstuf, so the source is much cleaner than the original DVDs, and it's from hchcsen's remuxes, so they're as good as you can get.
>>22630968>>22630993They tried to eliminate grain and just fucked up the image.
>>22630887Sure looks like it. There's one that's still tagged hchcsen that was an anonymous upload and probably couldn't be removed but yeah, it's all gone.
>>22630999I don’t think people should try to eliminate the grain.
Is it just me or is the dub track not included in this release?

https://nyaa.si/view/1812658Fuck it, here's a thread. The subs are off sync.
>>22633910>I don't actually mind Godzilla rarely appearing in his own movies, it actually gives his scenes more impact. Hell I actually liked Godzilla 2014 and how the entire movie was a build up to the atomic breath scene.And you are part of the problem, fuck you and fuck that piece of shit
>>22633938English motherfucker?
>>22635168Honestly that idea itself doesn't even have to have Godzilla any more. Sounds more like a zombie plot set up.
>>22632997>Godzilla vs. King Ghidorah (1991)>Godzilla (1998)>Shin GodzillaAll of these are deconstructions.
>>22635054>>22635281This would honestly make a fantastic dark comedy if you played it with a similar weird tone as The Host.I'm imagining a scene where you have a bunch of American soldiers lining up Unit 731 personnel. An American sergeant asks "You did what to those Koreans?" in angry tone. The Japanese are all visibly horrified thinking they're about to be machine gunned to death by firing squads on the spot.Then the sergeant goes "That's pretty cool" and they all laugh and shake hands. Smash cut to the title.
WHAAAAAAT?! Hayato, my old comrade in arms, what brings you here? You want to tell me how much you ENJOY FUCKING FRAW BOW?! And you want me to TEST THE NEW BETA GUNDAM?! I won't even get to fly it, instead my OXYGEN-DEFICIENT FATHER will create a special device that will increase its performance BASED ON HOW MANY TIMES I PASSIVELY WATCH YOU RAIL FRAW?! You will install hundreds of screen in my house that I WILL NEVER LEAVE that will show nothing but YOUR MEGA-BEAM CANNON destroying Fraw's DELICATE HULL MILLIONS OF TIMES ON REPEAT?! You and her will repopulate entire colonies and your children will grow DESPISING me for turning from a WAR HERO INTO A PATHETIC KEK to the point the entire human race will call me the FIRST EVER KEKTYPE?! What's that? CHAR AZNABLE WILL COME HERE TO LAUGH AT ME?! He will also describe in EXCRUCIATING DETAIL hundreds of his sexual experiences with Lalah before I VAPORIZED HER and we will communicate with her psyche scattered throughout the cosmos so she can tell me HOW DISGUSTED SHE IS BY ME?! All while footage of YOU UNLEASHING YOUR WILDEST SEXUAL FANTASIES upon Fraw's TENDER BODY plays in the background and I can't avoid looking at it?! What can I say? LET'S DO THIS HAYATO! AMURO! IKIMASU!
>>22630884>>22630888My hero!
>>22630884>>22630888I know that in the novelizations Amuro was sent prostitutes during his years of house arrest to appease him but it be fucking possible that he became a womanizer in CCA. What the fuck is Hi-Streamer and who wrote this?
>>22631942Mobile Suit Gundam High-Streamer was the novel Tomino wrote and used as a basis for Char's Counter Attack. The movie is an adaptation of mostly the 2nd half of High Streamer, although with various tweaks.When it got approval to become an anime movie though, Tomino also came up with a new story outline he thought would work better as a movie, but it was rejected (this became the basis for Tomiino's later and different version of CCA novel, Beltorchika's Children).
>>22631950Thanks for the trivia, I thought CCA and Beltorchikas Children were based on a original propsal and not a previously existing novel.
No! I still have to have an AI Amuro read the script!
Why they turned into a movie? Also why didn't they just make it a trilogy like the OG series instead of condensed into one film?
>>22634720Didn't he tell gunota not to buy any victory merch?
>>22634715He didn't, he just got pissed off with toy demands and took them in the stupid direction we got out of spite.>>22634909And that's him regretting how Victory directly contributed to Bandai's buyout of Sunrise.Also I feel it's necessary to state that the "fourth episode first" thing was not an executive mandate, but was done by the production team because they were unwilling to redo their first handful of episodes and just moved the first episode with the Victory in it to the front of the broadcast order. Tomino's bunch were just as concerned about ratings as anyone else.
>>22635010>And that's him regretting how Victory directly contributed to Bandai's buyout of Sunrise.Idk that sounds like sabotage to me. The series lives off of merch sales. I don't think gundam viewership was ever really that high compared to the really popular contemporaries
>>22635036Victory's ratings were pretty "just there", I've heard. But Victory being made at all was apparently a pre-condition of the Bandai buyout.
>>22634909I think he meant the DVDs
Bernard Wiseman did nothing wrong
>>22630822isn't the opposite ?
Did not impregnate.
