Description Pencils and colours: (Me!)
Inks: Jamie Snell (thanks!)



This cover (pencils by me and lineart by Jamie Snell aka Ragelion) was done for a big IDW Cover contest over at the IDW Publishing forums.

We managed to get third place on just three votes in a group with very rough competition, particularly from who got about 50% of the votes in (around 70 votes and very much deserved as he's a great artist! Check out his work!).

Sadly to make it to round two, you had to get second place. Still since there were 14 participants in our group, I'm at least very happy with third place (my goal was top five anyway), especially since I was the only one that didn't (couldn't) ink it myself and thus was reliant on others. Ragelion did a very good job of it if I say so myself and I'm thankful his efforts allowed us to participate afterall. So thank you Rage, very happy to have done a coΓΆ with you!



Hopefully LittleIron will do well in the next rounds - of the 250ish people there's still roughly 40-50 people that made it to the next round. YES, there were that many participants! Good luck LIN!



Anyway, decided to put some colours on it, since I do have the tools for colouring. The assignment for this particular cover was that it should have the focus on Scourge, while Red Alert and Apeface had to be in the image, all in an arctic setting.

My idea for the cover was that both Red Alert and Scourge tracked the saboteurs Apeface and Spasma (Apeface's nervous headmaster partner) to Antarctica. Only Red Alert traced a mayday signal and Scourge took 'm down. Why? Who knows, try to imagine why a pair of Decepticon saboteurs would be tracked down by another Decepticon. Anyway, on the cover, Red Alert has just freed Spasma (doesn't know who it is and that he's a Decepticon) from the wreckage that is Apeface and as his paranoia and oversensitive sensors get him distracted, he's immediately attacked by Scourge...



I'd tell you the rest if there was any, but I think you can speculate about the storyline from there.



Transformers are (c) Hasbro and all that jazz.

I heard a rumour that says penguins are made of Win'95.

Eh, I tink it got buried in my watchlist at a time when I wasn't online very often. Buried devwatches tend to happen sometimes when a bunch of my watchees post a lot on the same day. But anyways, I'm glad I found it now.

Y'know, I never cared much for ol' Red Alert, so, perhaps needless to say, I love what's about to happen in this cover.

Great work, and I dig the story idea you have here, too.

Hiring gnomes for colouring these days. They're more artistic than my previous set of gremlins. Only thing is they got a union, so they keep going on strike. :/

Heh... still a very cute cover, and it looks wonderful in colour!

horsetechie [2008-02-16 19:24:25 +0000 UTC]

And you were stressing just because you couldn't ink.

Just kidding! Awesome job coloring this, and I like the humor of poor Red being freaked over a little penguin when he's got worse matters.

SkyQuake01 [2008-02-16 06:08:29 +0000 UTC]

I'm thinking Red Alert better be hyped on nucleon, or something, because Scourge doesn't look like he's taking prisoners. You should have won with this piece. I also like the way you have the sky glowing in the background (arora). It gives it more of an errie feel. Ace job as always (thumbs up)!

Hah, there's so much awesome in that contest, I doubt I'd have made it past round 2 anyway. Granted if the colors were allowed in, I'd prolly have had more of a chance. Thanks for the support though!
