Christmas Poll Winner (Patreon)

Well, Macross won the poll! I am in the process of illustrating a nice space montage of the Macross and assorted Valkyries and obscene amounts of detail.To help in the composition of the image, I modelled this quick low poly Macross so I could pose it and get a nice imposing reference shot of it. The left arm is a bit broken as you can see!One thing I suspsected but confirmed on this one is that the Macross is actually pretty small! We seem to imagine that's it's enormous because it has a city inside it, but it's only the length of 4 aircraft carriers!

 I'm not sure how they manage to squeeze a whole town in there with highways and stuff..!

 My favourite Macross show is Macross 7, and in that one things make a bit more sense, as it features the "New Macross Class" colonisation ship which pulls a big ass city section behind it that is about 5x5 miles in size and actually fits a small city inside, complete with skyscrapers and everything else:

Still technically kind of small, as my hometown of Lincoln in the UK is 13x13 miles, and it's hardly the biggest city around.

Anyway, enough of these musings! I shall get started on the postcard print.
