This piece was originally created as promo art for my shelved creator-owned project, Transformers: Advent of the Sha'ar. (see disclaimer below)

Subsequently, this piece was featured on the special features disc of The Transformers - 25th Anniversary Matrix of Leadership Edition: Collector’s Set DVD...I still think it's one of my favorite pieces to date.

Okay, so here is the aformentioned disclaimer for the original Transformers: Advent of the Sha'ar project:

TF: Advent of the Sha'ar *** In the year 2005, the Transformers battled valiantly to protect their homeworld from a menacing monster planet.

But before that, they fought an evil threatening what they cherised most...

...their freedom to exist.

Join the original cast of the 80s cartoon phenomenom for a grand adventure like no other on earth.

In 2008, you will be transformed...again.

Transformers: Advent of the Sha'ar

...The Uron are coming.... ***

Okay, so the big announcement teaser is here. Slated as a prequel to the 1986 movie, Advent of the Sha'ar will be an 80 page graphic novel slated for online release in 2008. This story will fill in the gap between the end of Season 2 and Transformers: The Movie (1986)! Β 

My how time flies. I can't believe that was 7 years ago. I sometimes wonder what that comic would have been like had I continued working on it. By now, it would have been completed and online for many to read.

I'm still hoping to do a G1-entric project in the future and, perhaps, even Advent of the Sha'ar.

For a moment there, I thought that was Shi'Ar ...

I've heard that once before, hehe. It's pronounced SHAY-AR, by the way.

I really wish I'd started it back then, but my brother never helped come through with the script as promised, and I got distracted by personal life.

That’s the way it always seems to happen. We never have enough time to get the things done that we want.

I still am seriously curious about the title ... Advent of the Sha'ar ... it took me a moment to realize this was not going to be an X-Men crossover: that's Shi'ar.Β

I remember way back in 2007 when you first showed me this picture bro. I thought wow this is the best picture you have ever drawn! (at least at the time)


Now here we are two years later.. ( and two years in the making ) and your artwork has really skyrocketed to say the least.

Keep using this gift God gave you and soon we'll all be sitting in a theater watching your movies.

This is wonderful! It reflects the style used in the cartoon extremely well, but the lines are smoother and less blurred, and there is thw glowing effect to give the characters more life,

One key thing about the image I love is seeing Ultra Magnus and Optimus Prime battle alongside each other.
