EDIT: Tweaked Hand detail, and the Rifle. It faces toward the direction of fire that destroy(ed) his wingman [who is now 'safely' bailed out', parachute about to deply]...

EDIt 2 -sigh-:Tweaked Colours for fun cause the first edit was screwed by DA

halcyondf bitched me throughout the process of getting it online, many thanks to him, the turdburglar Stabbed in the gut, just like Jack the Ripper!

4 Hours Photoshop 6, airbrush tool [or, " what started as a 15 min personal paintover practice"]

Please PLEASE VIEW this masterful work by airbrush guru Dru Blair, it is what i referenced for the pic, after which i totally defaced it XD

(little to no semblance to the original remain, esp with respect to the 'tomcat' which the Valkyrie really isnt)

semi-Fanboy alert! I dig macross! Also, i dont dig intakes tilting about the nosecone, i think thats just retarded and should have never been worked into the macross animated series, this is my take of how the GERWALK mode works :o (Eek)

it slides OFF the engine housing, then locks and rotates, relying on thrust vectoring to keep it stable and aloft. Also, i added the Harrier's mini nozzles on the wingtips ( i forgot what they called them)

PS: oh and my version

hope you all like! Boogie!

ALL HAIL SHOJI KAWAMORI FOR THE GREATEST MECHA DESIGN IMHO Worship
