Description I consider this a partial success and a partial failure. Really wanted to draw a picture of Mirage in cloth and lace, and this is what I got. I discovered a lot of techniques for drawing in photoshop with this, now I need to learn to master it. It looks good to me but it just dosen't seem quite right to me.

When I drew it it reminded me of Ingres' work, kinda why I named this piece similar to one of his most famous work. This is basically Mirage before the war as a wealthy aristrocrate, I imagine him fooling around with his off world purchases such as cloths and jewelry. I meant for him to have a "look at me and how wealthy I am" look.

Cloth is something I imagine on Cybertron is a luxury item, hard to get a hold of enough of it to cover a bots frame, dosen't have any practical use except to look pretty and expensive to transport. So of course only the rich could afford it or would want it.

I wonder how he would react if he saw that Earth was practically made of cloth, we make so much of it

the opulent colors & soft blocking reminds me of Picasso's 'The Lovers', transfixing romantic coyness

You've hit on two of my favorite things: Cybertronian social hierarchies and Transformers in cloth. The detail and color on the cloth is amazing, and Mirage looks fantastic. (:

Yeah anything involving cybertronian culture I personally find interesting.

This actually reminds me of a fic I've been working on but I was playing around in Ratchet's past. He's got a red floor length cape of shimmery cloth...more details to come when I get the story cleaned up a bit

This is a great idea!
Fabrics, the more expensive and rare the better, would definitely be purchased by Cybertron's nobility as a sign of status.
And who doesn't love the sound of running one's digits across an expensive bolt of silk...shimmery...

Faved!

Oh, would you be interested in the Mirage contest I'm hosting?
Neat prices to be won!

I'm placing bets that Hound would have jumped him if they knew eachother back then.

If he did the guards would come and lock him up.
