Nice! I loved that show... shame what Carl did to it, but I'd probably never have seen it otherwise. The transforming bikes were really the best part, but the Invid's designs were also wonderful, so smooth and alien
True words, man! It was Robotech that truly prepped me for becoming an anime fan. The "New Generation" was full of great mecha and heroes who were way ahead of the curve in beating the apocalypse on its own terms in their own motley-crew fashion.
Yeah, Robotech really was the 'gateway drug' to a brave new world of mind-altering anime! Just imagine young Brent's surprise when he saw the VHS of 'Akira' and thought... "Hey, this looks like Robotech, I think I'll rent it and see what it's about."
Been there, done that, loved the spectacle. My first exposure to non-Robotech anime was The Wanna-Bes, Outlanders, Fight! Iczer-1, Project A-ko, Macross: Do You Remember Love, and Megazone 23. Needless to say I was hooked after that.
It's an awesome picture of a lovely, and conflicted character who really grew and progressed through her character arc. You've done her justice, and I love all your arts!
