Description Ahhh...finally got to ink our mighty Decepticon Nerf gun leader. Suffice it to say, it was challenging to ink this piece since I technically had to change alot of stuff to the previous pencils.

Though even with the inks, I admit, I don't think it's perfect (as art is a continual revisionary process like any endeavor). But, I'm satisfied with the result thus far.

As usual, C&C most appreciated.

Ah more than meets the eye!
Realy good, you've realy captured his chunky box like structure. Very remanisent of the cartoon series. The perspect too looked very difficult to work with though you pulled it off quite well. What referance did you use for this?

Thanks! Yeah, I really wanted to go with the old blocky style like they use for the toy box art. As for reference, I used the actual figure in hand.

Good choice. I dont realy think highly of the 'new' transformers as they louse that blocky feeling. But the whole blocky look came from the cheepy ness of the animation style of the 80's which in definition realy made the characters.

True, you make a good point about the more "classic" style which I kinda prefer, but the new style does have its merits. And I finally have a better understanding why the designers went with a more angular style--they designed them from the inside out, meaning skeleton 1st then they add the alt mode parts.

XD Nerf gun indeed...

He looks great, and other than a couple of parts where the inking looks off, I think it's perfect.
Nice job on all the detail.

^_^ You're welcome.

XP Cadavers are one of the many reasons that I wouldn't do well in med school. I think that overall, haveing to take care of injured bleeding people would get to me the most. It's just the blood... *shudder*
I mean, I've disected things in bio class, but if I had to do something like that and it was bleeding...

AcidWing In reply to Schmedderling [2006-12-28 02:18:49 +0000 UTC]

Thanks, Schmedderling! Yeah, after looking at it again, if I have the time, I think I would redo some of the line weights in some areas. I just found this a nice warmup after a looooong time looking at just med school notes and cadavers.

Hehe, that could work as well. But, I guess either way Prime can't hurt him so easily since I guess young children will be holding him as a playtoy in disguise!

Moondancer0X [2006-12-27 05:58:30 +0000 UTC]

Hm,... he looks a bit stiff and unnaturally posed to me. Nice attention to details though. I love the contrast in some of the areas. Good work AW.

AcidWing In reply to Moondancer0X [2006-12-28 02:26:53 +0000 UTC]

Thanks for the critique JetstreamX. I do agree that he's a bit on the stiff side, but I wanted to stay as true as possible to the original G1 boxart for Megs, which has him in a similar "standing tyrant" pose.
