Description
So, we all know I love Transformers. ^^ Well, I decided to mix my two favorite things, orcas and transformers. Here is the outcome. (Not to mention, I'm trying to figure out how to work with lines and making line art...)So, if it looks kinda crappy, forgive me. This was also a speed painting, and i wasn't paying too close attention to details.
I DO NOT CLAIM or OWN THE AUTOBOT LOGO, BUMBLEBEE, OR TRANSFORMERS. THEY ARE COPYRIGHT HASBRO.
However, the art as far as the orca is concerned, is copyright me.
However, I do drive a yellow beetle, with black stripes that I DO OWN and based him off my car...
4 hours
wacom tablet NO REFRENCE AUTOBOTS, AND BUMBLEBEE BELONG TO HASBRO.

I love this, firstly because I'm so glad I'm not the only person in history who thought to somehow combine orcas with Transformers. Secondly, because, even for a speed painting, his design looks almost plausible (barring the fact he is a yellow orca). Are you thinking of doing a full-body portrait?

haha Thanks Orkid. I love Transformers. I have both logos tattooed on my arm.
Yeah, I hear ya. Just the thought of how to make his design was a little hard, considering I'm all for the traditional orca style. I know hes yellow, that's why i'm sayin it was hard because i like tradition. But, he was based on my car too, and my car does have stripes.
Ya know, I was thinking about doing a full body shot, I just wanted to see how just a head shot would turn out.

Indeed. To somehow cross the two subjects may seem dorky to some, but I just like to think of it as being creative.
Good to hear. I'd look forward to seeing that.

Yeah, some people might think of it as being nerdy, but hey. You express yourself that way. 
Naw, As I said, the original Bumblebee was a Yellow VW beetle. I did just mix the two. The stripes along the runner board on my car, are my design. So, more than likely, He'll look like my car.
I did like the transformers movie, but not enough to base orca characters on them. If I do make more orca characters, they will be based off of the cartoon Transformers. NOT the movies
(My car is a she bumblebee however, because my boyfriend drives a 2012 new beetle named smokescreen..)

I bet you do.
I see. Probably a redundant question, but are you following Transformers Prime?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Nope. I don't like Transformers Prime. Nor did I like Transformers: Animated. I really think that they are trying to re-create something original.
I do give them credit for using Peter Cullen as Optimus in all the Transformers. I think though, the original cartoons were the best, and they should screw with something that's not broke...

I understand where you're coming from with that mentality.

Well, I didn't think the sequels for the movies were lackluster. I have sat down and watched ALL of the episodes from all series in G1 (that's alot of em) and all 3 movies are more or less based off of them..
Yes, I give respect that Prime stands on it's own terms, I guess I just really don't like how the characters came out, they look too skinny to be Decepticon fighting robots.
Who knows? maybe kids of this generation will bring Transformers back... It just makes me sad that kids recognize bumblebee for what hes not..Everyone who is my age and older (I'm 23) recognize bumblebee as the beetle. Not the dumb Camaro.

Granted, I liked the movies, too. For what they are, not for what they're not. I just can't seem to read into them as much as G1 and TFP.
Yeah, the show's visual aesthetic is quite the departure from what was in G1. I think that's what some people like about it, while still looking around for the little nods to other continuities that seem to find their way into every incarnation of the franchise.
Indeed. But there will be those who grow up and care to note these developments, when looking back on Transformers history.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yes, the movies are a bit different, and yes, they did take out alot of G1 stuff. More or less, I've seen them so many times that I just have em on in the background, like when i'm doing art or something.
Maybe the show is a little easier for kids these days to follow? the characters aren't so complex when transforming and its making them look more human-like so they can relate.
Yes, but its those people who see the changes in the newer transformers and not like it because it is newer and different. However, I must say Transformers have come along way, and other people might like the fact that they did get an "makeover" like, bringing them back in a way.

Whatever helps the art muse find its way.
Yeah. Animated television is always evolving to cater to ever-changing demographics of viewers. Though frankly, I'm not a fan of TV shows that are overly dumbed-down, for any age group. On that note, TFP is relatively complex in comparison to Rescue Bots, which is a kids' show through-and-through. And having seen a few eps of Rescue Bots, I can honestly say it's better than most of the cheap humor/song-and-dance garbage being promoted to children nowadays.
Different people look at things in different ways. There'll always be a difference of opinion. But there having been so many TV iterations of TF already, I really don't see where else the franchise might go after TFP. Except to produce more of the same, or some kind of revitalized neuvo-G1.

I hear ya with the singing and dancing musics stuffs that are shoved into the kids heads these days. Don't watch The Muppets. PERIOD. The singing and dancing shows are quite annoying. My daughter watches Tom and Jerry. she's 3. lol.
Rescue bots? Is it like Rescue Heroes? It does sound like a kids show, like Chuggington and Thomas. Not to mention Dinosaur Train.
Maybe it won't go anywhere after TF

It's a good thing I don't have cable, let's just say that. I wouldn't want to pay to have access to the 70% or more of crap on TV overall nowadays.
Here's the RB article on Wiki if you're curious. It can explain better than me: [link]
Yes. If the movie/TV aspect of the franchise is to ever 'die', or be shelved to be revived at a later date, let it do so with dignity.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I agree. I don't watch Tv much anymore.. (given the exception to animal planet and discovery) its all a bunch of bogus.
I think with dignity is the only way to let it die.. it would be a shame to have it go down any other way..

Less insulting than Muscle Car Bumblebee, that's for sure.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Um.. Thanks?
The original bumblebee was a yellow VW beetle. I happen to drive one. I pretty much bred the two cars... and thus I got a yellow beetle with black stripes.

I'm well aware of the position Bumblebee is supposed to hold, within the context of the series.
The fact that they gave him a job invariably held by a different 'bot in every other continuity for the Bayformers flicks is upsetting, especially when they killed off a 'bot that often holds the position normally to "justify" it.
The aligned continuity reconciles a lot of that by just being a different metaverse entirely, meaning it's "similar, but not strictly the same" series at all.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I agree with that. They did change him all the way around. Really did make him just a "bot" instead of an actual character, like the cartoons portray him as.
In all rights, I think alot of die hard Transformers fans like myself, and (you from what I gathered) are upset they did turn Bumblebee into a character that well, wasn't a character if that makes sense.

You mean how Michael Bay turned ALL the transformers into glorified walking action sequences?
Aligned is, on the other hand, a really cool new set of concepts.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yes, instead of actual characters with emotion, and feelings. I Definitely prefer the cartoons over the movies. I do have a soft side for the movies though.
I haven't seen the new concepts.. are they out?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Aligned, thus far, covers War for Cybertron, Fall of Cybertron, and Transfromers Prime.

I did not like Transformers Prime at all, War for Cybertron I loved. I have not played, nor seen Fall of Cyberton yet. I do know Grimlock is in it though..
