Description Here's yet another color insert - this one from Maelstrom Issue 6, again colored by my roomie at the time. She and I had very different styles when it came to color work, and I thought it got a bit murky, although I was very happy with it over all. I'd like to redo it, but I am also trying to catch up with half a million other projects...and this one I'm having a hard time finding the line work for.

Sometimes I think I should rename this one "Spot the Transformer." They are getting pretty lost. However, this piece won the art contest at the Men-In-Black Botcon in Chicago. When was that...? 93? Geez...that was before the Hartmans even. God...I'm old. I got the exclusive toy in the black and silver box for that. whoo-hoo. Heh. We had nerf wars in the hotel and heckled the movie. I think the Hasbro reps were a bit stunned at how much fun grown people were having with this silly cartoon....I don't think they realized.

Transformers characters - Hasbro's

Art and story - mine.

Scene from the pages of Maelstrom - 9 full B&W comics and a few thousand pages of fan-fiction. Rated M for violence and language - not slash.

Heh...not that big of a deal. The art contest that year was REALLY small.

Ya the colors are a bit murky now that you mention it. Still a lively piece.

Hasbro knows now that adults are into TFs.

Thanks. If I can find my original lines I may try photoshop. The inks got a bit out of hand.

Wild little melee--let's see--Optimus, Galvatron, Rumble, Lazerbeak, Ultra Magnus, Sludge, Grimlock, Soundwave, Swoop, (I forget what the name of the Casettecon on SW is) and sharktecons. Lot of action, busy pic, but not bad because I could just pick those chars out in it without much trouble.

Wouldn't worry about the age btw--some of us are even older (they're only JUST started making live action movies about the cartoons of MY day).

Heh. The cassette is Ramhorn...and you missed Warpath in the background pushing a Shark into a pit. LOL....this puppy needs help! Thanks!

As for being old...well...I don't mind. At least now I have an excuse when I forget things.
