Description I know this isn't a polished piece of art, but I thought it was a little fancy for the scrap section, perhaps if I finish a good version I'll move this there.

this is just some concept art for a little scene that popped into my head today while I was riding the bus. I felt like drawing something that involved a city scene and vehicles modes (something I don't draw often) that was kind of lighthearted.. also I wanted to figure out Sunburst's vehicle mode, so I thought I'd put her and starscream racing above a golden-age looking Iacon (I think it's Iacon, I could be wrong, some cybertronian city anyway). The scene is from one of ~ Sunstars fics, Sunburst belongs to her.
I think I'll try to do a better version of this.. maybe not inked, but at least a cleaned up pencil version that has proper perspective figured out.

neat, this reminds me a lot of the kind of illustrations that you would find on random pages in a fantasy book, sort of a snapshot in time....

I love the colours you used! So much brighter than I ever would have thought the metal planet to be. Golden age of Cybertron is shiny. ^-^

I love your seekers. ^-^ And the trafic is really great. ^o^ (Did someone get rear-ended? ;o; ) I really like the scribbly look too. No hard lines. Sometimes it is really refeshing to look at something with scribbly lines. Let the mind figure out shapes from there.

Very nice layout. The perspective is great and you really went in with the detail to create that bustling city feel. Wonderful work.

If it's set in the Golden Age, shouldn't Starscream be a pyramid jet, too? *is confused*

Beautiful pic, though!

Hey Dev *wink*... the scene is based on one from Sunstar's fic, so it takes place some 20-odd years after the events of TF:TM (which in her universe doesn't take place in 2005 anyway, not sure when it occurs honestly but some time in the further future). Cybertron has entered a new golden age under the direction of the autobots (jeez, I sound like a voiceover)- starscream and sunburst are both neutrals living on it at the moment.. sunburst was just never converted to an earth mode so this is the form I'll always be drawing her in.

Oooh! More Sumburst pics around! Sumburst rocks.
Very nice angle. I also love that scenne. What I like the most is the golden background and the coloured version of the characters... in spite Sumburst's coplouring is so similar. But it's a sketchy pic, after all.

Good lordy, she can even draw landscapes that look believable! O_O And who cares if it's just a doodle-- if it looks THIS good in rough, I can't wait for you to try doing a neatened-up version. *double thumbs-up* I love this piece. Well done, and keep up the good work! ^_^

thanks The neat version is in progress right now- not sure when it will be done but I'll be putting the stages in my scrap section. Your guy is on the way too.. just need to darken the pencil lines- I actually did 2 pics because I thought the first pose was kind of weird looking, but then the second one ended up being equally silly... so sorry, whatever turns out will probably be a dumb pose

*lol* The second I saw the yellow pyramis seeker, I knew this was based off Sunstar's fic.

Doesn't look too bad though.. wow. The only things I see off, is that Sunburst's middle fin should be taller, so she's more pyramidal in shape. Starscream's wings look a bit off too, but that's prolly just the way it was colored.

Oh totally ignore any perspective in this , this is one of my "would this composition look good in this colour scheme" sketches and I didn't put too much thought into the way they looked. I went after and got some F-15 pics for reference and saw that screamers nose cone should be quite a bit longer.. and sunburst looks a little too much like GF starscream instead of the war within seekers (I wonder who I used as a model).

A lot of the buildings are totally wrong too, as I discovered when I went and did the good version with actual perspective lines (WiP in the scrap section)
