Description Hound stuff:
Hound is just as aware of the local wildlife as it is of him.
I imagine his sensors as so sophisticated that he experiences the world around him in a very different way from the rest of the Autobots. So much so that coming to a new planet full of new sounds and smells would be like suddenly seeing a million new colors. I see a desire to absorb these new sounds & smells as something that initially sparked his interest in Earth's landscape.

Drawing stuff:
This is a practice of things I find hard to draw: Hound, trees, Autobot symbols, Hound, forests, Hound, backgrounds (or foregrounds, or any kind of context for that matter), very small things, and Hound. It's not perfect, but I can see that I've improved since joining dA last summer, so I'm very happy with it anyway.

I mucked up some things when I markered my pencil lines and I should use a finer-grained paper with colored pencils, but if anyone has comments/suggestions please PLEASE let me know! I'd really love to hear them so I can continue to improve!

References:
I mostly used 's Hound-concept-colors . (I realized later that this is of Hound's Cybertronian mode and I've drawn him on Earth, but I wasn't about to start over. )
Additional references I want to credit:
's Autobot-Hound
's Alternators-Hound
's Autobot-Hound-Comparative

Hound is of course owned etc. by Hasbro.

PS: Haha, you can totally see Sideswipe's impression in the lower right-hand corner from a quick drawing I did on the previous sheet in my sketch book.

Oooooo Hound! That is gorgeous!

I haven't dared try him yet, even though he's my favourite, cause he's complicated.

Thank you so much!! Yeah, I'm so glad I did this drawing, but I'm not sure I ever want to draw Hound again!

I'm impressed by the texture in the grass and the depth in the forest! You obviously put a lot of time and attention into this.

Thanks! Hehe, I put all weekend into it... instead of grading lab reports, writing grant proposals, cleaning, you know how I operate.

While the other pieces of Hound are all very detailed--I have to say your version has all the personality in it. I do love the portrayal of his character here. |D Great job, the landscape around him looks absolutely spiffy.

It was a lot fun, even though he's a tough one to draw. He posed himself very naturally, and although I was intending to make the shot of him investigating the sapling, the little bunny popped up and Hound turned his head to look, and... Aside from the rough bits and the background he just drew himself.

I do love when the drawings draw themselves--and there is a lot of life in that there drawing. |D -sigh- It is an awesome job, y'know~
