Hello all! Just wanted to say hello as I registered today.
Hi Thunderbird and welocme, though, you are introducing yourself in the wrong thread I am afraid but no matter.
Just a question though, looking at your avatar and seeing that you are a male, erm......erm......unsually choice their?
But more importantly, tell us about yourself, which version, Gatchaman, BOTP, G-Force, etc got you into this zany madness worl?
I'm guessing that his avatar is female for the same reason that mine is male -we picked what we like to look at.
Welcome, Thunderbird!
Welcome Thunderbird.
I see you are a Condor.
Now by my count that makes the Condors and Eagles even again. Soon the Board will no longer be ruled by Swan's.
Ohhhh! I see by your profile we have another Canadian joining us.
What part are you from? I am in the GTA area.
Originally posted by clouddancer I see you are a Condor. Now by my count that makes the Condors and Eagles even againOoh, I hadn't noticed that!
I look straight after. I reckon, combined, nobody can mess with the Condors and Eagles.....Except the Swans of course.
Yeah, I used Jun Aggie Princess....uh the girl...cuz I drew her and cuz I like looking at her. But I am ALL Condor. I loved BoTP as a kid and learned about the other incarnations later when DVD became available. Gatchaman is my fav because it is the most whole...but BoTP has a special place in my heart for Hoyt Curtains incredible score.
...and sorry about being in the wrong place, my first forum...
If i need a male Avatar I'll make one up shortly.

You don't need a male avatar! The one you have is just fine! As Lborgia pointed out, lots of people have avatars that don't match their gender. Some even have Katse as an avatar and as we all know that makes them the opposite gender no matter what they were born as. 
And given that you are an artist, I think this is a fine place to make your debut. Doesn't stop me from looking to make another one elsewhere, though.
And welcome from the Swannies.

Hi Thunderbird and welcome to the madness! 
Don't worry about Met over there... I'm female and have a pic of the Eagle, so don't worry about being male and having a pic of the Swan
And about Met.... .His sig line says that he's the Eagle in Residence and Temporary Frisker, but he's really the Resident Eagle Frisker Drinker and sometimes he has one too many pints... We just nod and say yes when that happens, but a word of caution to you... Be careful if he mentions the Rubber Room!

Thunderbird, you just keep that gorgeous avatar of yours! And we love Condors around here! 
and BOTP has a special place in my heart, too...I still get chills when I hear that music come on!
I think most of us here were kids sitting in front of thee TV back in the 70's, twisting the "rabbit ears" on top of the tube to get better reception of our favorite show!
But Gatchaman is the best... since we don't have to listen to Zark drabble on and on...

To answer an earlier question, I live in Baden outside of Kitchener Waterloo.
I will not be drawing any pictures of Zark...unless as a toilet or garbage can or similar like...
I just drew Springie her own Gatchaman Character, The Dove. Check it out on DA.
Feel free to make suggestions or requests...I'll do what I can.
Thanks for making me feel welcome gang.

You drew a lovely swannie! She's hot! She looks like she's saying..."My eyes are up here..." If you feel you have to make up a male avatar you can always draw up an equally hot Condor! I won't mind!

I also remember "being" the remote control...and that UHF/VHF knob.... ...oh hell I'm just going to "date" myself here...but I remember literally "gutting" the TV with Dad (cursing all the way!) and using those machines that kind of looked like pinball games in the shopping malls where you could test your TV tubes...
Ooh another artist! Welcome to the boards Thunderbird.
Being a fellow artist what other art do you do?
Hello and welcome Thunderbird! So you are a male Condor looking like a Swan..... Interesting! But your art looks great! Look forward to see more! 
Welcome Thunderbird!
I agree with TJ. As an artist, I think The Artists Pallete forum is a good place to introduce yourself.
That's a gorgeous Swannie avatar! Don't worry about having female avatar. Myself, I've been considering using either the Condor or the Eagle one, but I can't really make up my mind which one of them I'd like more , so I stick to the Swan.

I draw lots of stuff...Mostly super heroes, star wars, star trek and whatever tickles my fancy. I struggle to draw the Gatch style but I just got into the groove the other night. Sometimes it's best to keep going as long as you can. Bad drawing days happen. But Ijust wanted to draw Jun as sexy as I could...and I am quite happy with the results.
She IS using science ninja technique inflata-boobs. Works every time.

I am always available to create an avatar...a black swan would be easy...we know what a white swan looks like. I'd just need to know skin tone, hair colour, hair length and bird. Leave it with me a bit and I'll see what I can do.
and as for Jun's panty shots....just another weapon in her arsenal...ahem....a very effective one.
I've posted a couple pics in the gallery a couple exclusively for Gatchamania.
Perhaps we can get Dove and Osprey to flash their panties?
Those are awesome, Thunderbird!
And for the record, Osprey likes Joe the cyborg. Looooottsss.
Hey, you made the black swan and a devilstar! 
They look great!
They look great!
WOW!! Great stuff Thunderbird!
I have an idea for what I want as an avatar...a secretary bird...and since it's an african bird she could look like Tyra Banks...
Speaking of cool avatars, Katsesama nice one you got there, I like the sneer, LOL.
BTW Thunderbird, do you do villains too? 
I agree with everyone else, Thunderbird. Those are great pics. I especially like Thunderbird Greets Swan's description, "When you can draw you have the power." I guess Swannie knows who to play nice with and not risk a two-ton bum!

Originally posted by lborgia88 Does every Gatch/BOTP fan have a secret bird they identify with?I've always identified with the blue heron, I guess because I grew up at the coast, and they were always part of the prettiest scenery. Now that I live so far inland I get a thrill if I see one at the lake.
I don't know why but I am a fan of golden eagles for some unknow reason. I just think they are beautiful,, just like my previous avatar.

I always said if I could come back as an animal it would be a bird of prey. Hawk has always been one of my favorite choices. I took this pic at the zoo last year. Eventually it will be a painting.

If you think about the big action/spy movies and TV shows in those time periods, you'll realize that many of those solo villains are German. Now the national villans in those movies/shows tend to be Russian, so it was quite the mix...

Either bird would look similar...so I guess it's up to you on the name...are you Merlin or Hawk.
Hinotori, I need to know if you want a skirt, swimsuit or tights for the lower half of Merlin's costume....If you have any specific requests on the cut for the top half....evening gloves or gauntlets....let me know and your Bird Style will be done shortly
and Ebonyswanne....Same question...Your body shot is waiting to be completed...thanks team!
Let's go with a skirt, I'll leave the top to your discretion (nothing too revealing - I do have a reputation to uphold!), and evening gloves.
Do you need to know any of my physical traits (hair color, eye color, etc)?

Hey Tbird I was thinking, I know there is no such bird but I was wondering if you would like to have some fun with this idea. My ancestry hails from a little island in the Meditteranean called Malta. Most people when they hear it, the first thing that comes into their head is the book The Maltese Falcon. Think you want to give it a shot? Let me know and I'll send you the colors of the country's flag and such. I've got pics of my family crest too.

Like Wow! I am so impressed! Gonna need to get my "borrowed" version of photoshop up on this computer so I can take it to avatar size.
I'm also gonna put it up on myspace, my cousin is gonna love this! He is a wrestler named Malta the Damager and someone turned his persona into a comic book hero too, its all based on the Templar Knights and such cause our ancestry lies within it.
The funny part is that is exactly how I wear my hair, off to the side like that.
Thank you so much again.
My pleasure.
However, if anyone is not wholey pleased with their pic and feels a couple more details could be included to improve the appearance please let me know. Most of the work here is what I can first pass...which means I designed it and finished it in the same pic. Normally I do a design phase and a posed figure. I didn't in this case because I wanted everyone to get a character asap. So if you want a particular pose or a little make over...let me know...I will try to get you what you crave.

TB -great artwork!!! I've just spent a lot of time browsing the gallery and drooling over your pics (and yes - the ones in the rubber room too).
Love your work!!! Expect me to "friend" you over at Deviantart as well!
Springie said I shoudl contact you for an avatar - I;ve attached pictures of me (yes it's black and white - but I have blue eyes and currently purply-red hair) and a Golden BowerBird which is a Qld Rainforest birdie.
As for clothing - being on the voluptous side, I would defiitely go skirt!!!!!
You certainly have transformed the idea of website avatars here! Well done for the contribution!!!
*Springie rubs hands together* Oooo... this is gonna be good...I've never heard of the bowerbird...but it's quite pretty!!
There are two types - the Satin which is a blue-black with bright blue eyes, and the Golden which is a rainforest one.
Both are very striking. The Satin got it;s name because it's feathers are so shiny - they've got a real satiny sheen.

Love them both, TB but I think that I like the one of the Owl & Swallow best. I dunno - the proportions seem a little better. Ken in the first one - his shoulders seem to wide for his waist to my eyes.
Originally posted by stardust That's much better, I feel much more comfy with the galactor symbol on now.Somehow it looks better on your ...chest than the Gatcha logo!
Nice pics TB! Still swallow looks a little boozy! Has he barged into Joe's supplies again?
Love them both!! Ken and Jun look so cute together! *swoon*
and you did a great job with Ryu and Jinpei!!
Can't wait to see them colored! 
Nice work, TB! I hope CD has seen the owl. He looks great and not like a joke!!

Someone asked what I use to create these....well here is the process....
1 Draw a rough gesture drawing to get a pose I like
2 Clean it up using detail with a 3H mechanical drafting pencil
3 Ink with fine tip markers (mine are in bad shape)
4 Scan with HP scanner
5 Import to Photoshop 5
6 Work in layers and sections until I get something I like.
I use a drawing tablet also which adds a little more control to drawing and editting.
Other than that...practice. My jealousy of others abilities when I was a grade schooler made me try harder to be a passable artist. Though I've never made much money doing this I can say I was paid to illustrate about 5 books and that must make me a professional!

Oh, I remember doing a very nice pic of a sunset in a valley.
I was experimenting with darkening colours so of course I used the bright colours in the middle and then slowly added more black as I moved out. In the sky I had the yellows, oranges and reds and on the ground I had the green grass.
I know my mother framed this piece of work, but I have no idea where it got to. It did not show up this summer when I had to do my clean up.

I grabbed my pastels and sketch book and was done by the time the sun set. My DD had it on her wall for a while, then I reclaimed it.
I make alot of money installing custom home theater...so drawing is fun...and I think it is better that way...I'm not sure I'd want to draw for a living...I can be very self conscious of my work and bad drawing days happen. If I can make $ on the side...that's fine. I draw for fun...not profit.

I've tried paint and pencil, but I've stuck with oil pastels for long while now. The local art store has lightweight gallery wrapped canvas, and oil pastels work great on it. Interesting effect. I did a rough draft of a mountainscape in chalk on paper from one my favorite overlooks, and it came out pretty good. I've been meaning to do a tripanel of it--three small canvases in a row which the scene stretches across. I've always liked that for landscapes. I may actually do it one day.

Yes we do have a lot of Gatch fans around the TO area. I wonder why that is... must be because there is nothing else to do in this part of the world.

Any time lborgia.
Bless your kind soul!
I have been studying my itinerary. On the way there (July 23), I have a space of 2 hours and 10 minutes in Toronto, but on the way back (July 30), I only have a space of 1 hour and 22 minutes in Toronto -I know from experience that's NOT a lot of time to go through U.S. customs and make a connecting flight at Pearson Int'l! If I'm delayed for any reason leaving Halifax on the return trip, I will very likely miss my connection. And, it turns out, there won't be another Air Canada flight from Toronto to Indianapolis until 7.20 AM the next morning. I could really improve my odds by taking only carry-on luggage, but that will be difficult -I'm going to a two-day high school reunion, damn it, where I will encounter ex-boyfriends, women I disliked in high school etc. and I will need some fashion options, not a just a pair of jeans and a couple t-shirts!

Originally posted by lborgia88 This may be the only scene in the '94 Gatchaman OAV that I wouldn't mind seeing carried over into the upcoming Gatchaman movie!Actually, on a more serious note, I liked the whole thing about Jimmy/Jinpei being a computer hacker. I thought that was a really good explanation as to why he was on the team, despite being a kid. Also, I enjoyed the whole scene where the Galactors attacked Joe's trailer and he threw himself out of the window, guns blazing, took off in the G2 and transmuted so he could waste the attack helicopter at the other end of the tunnel. Just me, I guess....

Just before Galactor attacked Joe contacted Ken and Ken berated him for breaking the radio silence.
Oooh! Oooh! I got a secret identity!
Check me out!
*whistles* That is HOT, Katse!! Love the flirty skirt!

Very cool! Something about the skirt and boots makes me think "gladiator"
All you need is a sword -I think you could persuade Ken to give you the Gatchafencer.

LOL... I was thinking some kind of butt-kicking cheerleader.... Very hot, Katsesama!
A secret identity.
but not a very subtle one...
Maybe that's the idea. Any bad guys who see her like that will be too open mouthed and confused that they won't see her shout "Bird Go." and see her transmute.

Wow, Katse. Love it.
And lborgia is correct you need a sword now.
Wow, Katse! That is a hot pic! And, damn girl! Check out those abs!!!
I agree, great abs and you also need a sword. Forget Xena, when you can katseama.
I was just about to say that she reminds me of Xena...

Katse you are a hot Galactor babe! I would kill for that body...do you work out? 
Originally posted by katsesama Ken lent me his sword.OMG, Katse is that really you????
You look gorgeous!
Wow, Katse! What a great photo!! I have the same question as Amy though... Is that you?? If so, what on earth do you do to get those abs??????
No wonder Katse's a Katse.... Joe would be falling all over himself if he saw her! 
It's kind of a cheat picture. It has to do with the way I'm standing. Here's the one TB drew my civvies picture from -- not as impressive. Clicky

Damn girl - no matter how you're standing you look great!!

ROTFL!!! I love it!!!!
I can see Joe feather shurikening the snakes.
"I hate snakes..."
Awesome! I always thought the Condor reminded me of Harrison Ford! 
Impressing! Now there should be some feather shurikens hanging from his hair!!! Is he out for a Katse hunting?
I'm back at the ISO or Center Neptune....and ready to scribble. Let me know if you'd like a birdstyle drawn. Just give me your fav bird and some personal details and we'll get you suited up. Bird Go!!!

It's nice to be back. I feel bad for jumping ship....flying way over there and not reporting in...stupid wrist communicator....
It's great to see you around, Thunderbird! We have missed your wonderful drawings!
ETA If you're taking requests.... I think we'd all love to see the Swan and the Eagle in a romantic entanglement...

How romantic? G/ PG/ R/ XXX?
For my part- extremely XXX romantic would be great!
I'll stick my hand up for us Condor-girls! Anything you have of Joe/Jason would be much appreciated! All ratings welcome, but you know what we like...

However, miss Maddy - I WANT MORE!!!

My favorite is your merge of OVA Jun with the real one!
It felt like making the appropriate correction

Nice to see you back Thunderbird, and thank you for the links.
I returned to deviant art about a month ago, after a years absence. Unfortunately, I have not managed to get around to looking at your work again. This should give me some incentive to go and look.

I agree with Springie, these are awesome! And I also like the 'retro' Jun in the OAV pose the best. You really have a knack for capturing Jun's look and spirit, TB!

Thank you for fixing the links Springie. I did wonder if someone might try.
As usual you do some really nice work Thunderbird. I think the Yo yo one and the Retro Jun are my favourites of these.

Thunderbird, your work has brought me to my knees! Retro Jun is an especially fine piece.
(Now, if you'll excuse me for a few minutes, I have to crawl after my chair; I didn't have the wheels locked, so it went rolling across the room when I dropped to my knees!)
