Description A special gift for my good friend , whose birthday is on June 15th. It's also a piece of fanart for her Transformers fanfiction, As We Come Together.


In the story, Chase Banes - an OC in the story - becomes Hound's best human buddy after spending some time with the severely damaged Autobot. They care about and look out for each other, and their friendship never dies.

This is a picture of Hound (movieverse) hanging out with Chase, enjoying the beauty of nature. Hound never appears in Michael Bay's two films, but he is a playable character in Transformers: The Game, and here's the design of his movieverse appearance: [link]


I used that design to draw the Hound in this picture, only simplified some details and changed the paintjob here. Forgive me if this picture looks kind of surreal or awkward due to the weird proportion - I was too occupied with drawing the movieverse robot right that I totally forgot to save enough space for Chase, and I couldn't erase and redraw the lineart because that would make the pencil sketch become very messy. So I drew a tiny Chase on Hound's shoulder in order to put them together in one scene, which made Hound look as huge as Optimus Prime in this picture... *face palm*


Anyway, I'm glad that I finally finished this pic. Drawing a movieverse Cybertronian is so difficult! Sometimes I really admire those people who designed these complicated giant alien robots...



Happy Birthday, Alyson! Hope you like this present!

Not sure if you know but Hound is also going to be in the upcoming Age of Extinction film.


Although he looks different but it is a good different although he looks more like Bulkhead.

Yes, I know he will be in the movie. Although I'm a little disappointed when I saw this Bayverse Hound... he looks too much like Bulkhead. And he looks too old for my liking. It would be more fitting if they just named this character "Bulkhead" rather than "Hound", seriously.

mirageandjazz1197 In reply to Lecidre [2014-06-04 13:01:59 +0000 UTC]

I think its because his personalty was not like Bulkhead's and that's why they changed his name to Hound


but hey he is in his original green colors which besides OP and Bee no one else has has their original colors.

Probably. Although Bay's version of Hound is more like Ironhide. Kind of confusing, since the two characters are very different. Guess we still need a trigger happy guy after Ironhide's death in DOTM.

Considering the character's personality and behavior, they should have named this new guy Kup. Although I would never understand why a robot has beard/potbelly. Looks weird to me.

Personality?


What personality all we got is him flicking a bullet at Joshua (Stanly Tucci)


and he has been descrided as a jolly character (he kinda looks like Santa so..)

Well, the recent trailers/teasers showed us more of this new Hound's personality. I think his character is more like Bulkhead.

And boy, I actually cracked up when I saw the Santa comment. He DOES look like a giant, metal version of Santa Claus. Maybe it's his beard.

Your going to love Hound he is the best of the new charactersΒ 


Drift is cool too he is a triple changer (Car and helicopter).


Crosshairs though is an unlikable asshole who even leaves the humans a few times in the battle when he i supposed to be protecting them he even says that he should be the leader instead of Optimus.

Lol, you're a real fan!

I really liked the Autobots in this movie. And yes, Stinger's lack of personality was a disappointment. I thought he and Bumblebee might have an epic fight or something. Apparently Stinger was merely a drone that blindly followed Galvatron's orders.

mirageandjazz1197 In reply to Lecidre [2014-07-23 19:51:16 +0000 UTC]

i just wanted him to have more screentime and a better fight scene.

Lecidre In reply to mirageandjazz1197 [2014-07-24 10:09:51 +0000 UTC]

It would be even more interesting if Stinger could have a real one-on-one fight against Bumblebee. The Lego style transformation looked cool at first, but the fight scenes were kind of lame. Those drones were too easy to kill.

πŸ‘: 0 ⏩: 1

mirageandjazz1197 In reply to Lecidre [2014-07-25 22:27:50 +0000 UTC]

Yeah the drones were kinda weak but they looked cool.

I can remember all of Stinger's scenes too


1. The showroom scene


2. Being deployed with Galvatron to attack the Autobots


3. Getting activated by Galvatron and standing like a bad ass


4. Driving through Hong Kong before transmorphing and deploying his gun


5. Firing at Hound and Bee with a couple of drones before rolling out of the way of Bee's shot which took out the other drones before firing back


6. Right before Bumblebee jumps onto Strafe you can see that Stinger has Bee on the ground and beating him upΒ and then the Bee vs Stinger fightΒ

mirageandjazz1197 In reply to Lecidre [2014-07-30 09:45:19 +0000 UTC]

Yeah so many things happened but at the same time not much happened in this movie.


Stinger unfortunately was the one who i was looking forward to before i went to the theaters so Stinger's role was the only letdown to me besides the white and purple Sonic not being an Autobot and the previous autobot cast (Sideswipe, Dino, Roadbuster, Topspin and Wheelie) not having their fate be explained and out of them probably only Sideswipe might return in TF5


At least Ratchet and Leadfoot had proper closure.

Lecidre In reply to mirageandjazz1197 [2014-09-24 10:26:49 +0000 UTC]

Agreed. I look forward to seeing Sideswipe again if Bay ever decides to bring him back in TF5. Movies nowadays tend to focus on those special visual effects or all the 3D things more than everything else, and the plot/characters aren't really that solid. It's a shame that we couldn't get to know more about those characters' whereabouts when a good amount of TF4 was still about EXPLOSIONS. Bay really loves to blow things up.

Oh my goodness, oh my goodness... There are no words to describe how truly amazing this is! It's the best birthday present anyone could have ever drawn for me! I love it! I love it more than anything in the whole wide world! From the very moment I saw it, I was singing with the angels! I knew exactly who it was standing all green and sweet in the middle of the pic! By god, I was squealed for Hound so bad! Just about cried because he looks so good! I didn't even see Chase until I clicked into the picture, and then I had to laugh at her lounging like an alley cat on his shoulder- that's so her!

My dear, you could not have surprised me more with with wonderful and outstanding birthday gift! I only got two gifts this year, this and Cirque du Soleil tickets, and they're definitely neck and neck to being the best b-day presents I have ever received. Ever!

I'm probably going to end up saying this a lot throughout the whole of my comment, but thank you so much! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! I really wasn't expecting anything for my b-day, since you already posted New Life with Megatron and Sideswipe! I honestly thought that was my b-day present! So when this suddenly appeared in my inbox, I just about went over the moon with excitement!

Hound is... well, he's Hound! You've said it before in the past how you don't like doing their robotic forms and prefer to use humanized versions, so that makes the fact you *did* do Hound as a robot all the more amazing. He look absolutely fantastic! No one would ever be able to guess that you don't like drawing robots; even with this one pic, you show how versatile you are with your talents- you make everything you draw seem so easy!

While writing for Hound in As We Come Together, I've had some running idea of what his Cybertronian self would look like, but never have I actually thought of a solid form to put down to paper. The moment that I saw this though, I was shouting and squealing at the screen- "That's Hound! That's Hound!" It was practically a dream come true to see him come to life like this! The pic you used as a reference is really impressive- I'm not a video game player myself, so I probably never would have seen what Hound looked like in the game without you posting that link! He's not a handsome mech like Optimus, but he sure is a cutie! And I love, love, love how you brought your own style into recreating him in this picture here- he looks like a Bayformer, but with your magic added in! And he's definitely 100% Hound! The colour you chose for his armour is bang on, and even his relaxed pose with his hand up makes him look like he's really at ease discussing something with Chase. His photon cannon even looks majorly impressive! But it's his expression that I adore the most! God, he wouldn't be Hound without it! His face is so round and adorable- like a kitten's almost! - and those big blue optics just draw you right in! How could anyone not love a face like that? He's too cute for words!

The fact that you threw Chase in there is only a bonus! Can't have sweet little Hound in a pic without Chase mucking it up somewhere! I giggled when I went in the comments that you forgot to leave room for her and had to sketch her in real small after Hound's sketch was finished. Even if you had to fit her in there, she looks fantastic! She's so tiny compared to him! Hound's actual height in WE is 23 feet, while Chase is only is 6-foot-3, but Hound's bulk would probably make her look a lot smaller in comparison. You did a really good job of capturing her there on his shoulder. It's such a small shot of her, but still you have her in character; unkempt hair, slouchy clothes, no shoes, and basically using Hound as a lawn chair. That sounds like good ol' Chase. But she looks so at peace with him- it makes me want to sigh in contentment. It's so rare to see her happy or at peace with anything. You did an amazing job on her!

Once again, thank you! Thank you from the bottom of my heart! You are one of the most amazing and talented artists I have ever had the pleasure of knowing, and you are truly one of the sweetest friends I have ever had! Thank you for this wonderful gift! I'll treasure it always!

Hehe, I knew you would love it!

Well, I know I've promised to make a fanvid for your B-Day present before, but I just couldn't finish all the pics I need for the vid on time... So, I tried to do a Hound/Chase picture instead. Sorry that I couldn't finish the fanvid before your birthday, there're too many pics that need to be drawn and colored, and I admit I draw kind of slow... Anyway, if I fail to finish enough pics for the fanvid, you can still have those pics for your WE fanart. *wink*

And yeah, Hound does look cute and adorable in this form! And who could be his best companion other than our dear, tough Chase? I didn't know they had a movieverse Hound design until I searched some Hound's pics on deviantART for reference. When I found that design pic, I immediately decided to use that version of Hound for your B-Day gift in order to match the movieverse Hound described in your fic. I was almost in tears while sketching the robot out, but thank goodness it became easier when I started coloring his armour and I'm so glad that I managed to finish this picture successfully on time. You're such a wonderful friend to me, and I really adore the Hound and Chase in your story, so everything is worth the hard work. You surely deserve something special on this special occasion! Knowing you enjoy this B-Day gift pic this much is the best compliment to me. I'm so thrilled you love this picture!

All the love to you, hon!

lol~ Am I that predictable?

Aw, hun, don't worry about not being able to finish the fanvid on time. From the sounds of it, the vid sounds like quite the personal project. You have enough going on in your life without creating any extra stress for yourself. If you find that doing the vid is too much, you don't have to finish it. Just hearing that it's giving you trouble is making me feel bad. Please don't stress out too much over it! I'm more than happy with the Chase/Hound pic you did here! It's a lovely gift that I'm going to cherish for a life time!

Just out of curiosity, though, since you've been hinting at the size of fanvid... what kind of pictures are you doing, exactly? I'm sorry if I'm being nosy and bothering you about it, but I'm just a little curious about it. Like what pictures you have done or what you're thinking of doing. If that's too much of me prying, you don't have to say thing. I realize I might be asking too much...

It's such a lucky thing that you found Hound's design on devART! The more and more I look at this pic of his movieverse form, especially done up in your style, the more and more I fall for him! He's just so darn cute!~ The greatest gift of all is hearing how much you have enjoyed my stories, so much so that you've even created this brilliant piece of fanart. You're certainly one of the most special friends I've made on this site and it's been a pleasure getting to know you!

Much love~

Oh, it's actually a vid which introduces some major characters in your WE series along with some scenes inspired by those one-shots you wrote on FF.Net. Since I can't draw all of the characters in the movieverse robots style, the characters will be portrayed as humans instead. It's become a huge project because of all the pics I need to match the song's length, but I'll try to finish as many pics as possible no matter what. If I fail at completing all the pics I planned to do for the fanvid, I'll just post them on devART as fanart for your stories.

I'm in awe of it right now just sitting here reading what you've written! :awe: I'm excited beyond belief to see the human portrayals of the characters in your pics; you are one of the most amazing artists on this site for bringing humanized TF characters to life. I don't I've ever encountered someone as wonderful as an artist as you, and if what you've done in the past is any indication, then the upcoming vid is going to be epic!

Oh my, Tanya, Alyson will love this! You've done an incredible job with this image!

Hound, oh gosh, the detail you've put into him is awe-inspiring! You've made him come alive and into an actual Bayformer! His optics are a wonderful shade and everything seems to have some extra detail within it! The lighting is perfect and seems to shine upon these two friends! Even the wheel on his shoulder seems like a real wheel that you see in shops! The cannon on his other shoulder reminds me of Ironhide, but I think that Hound would rather be with his human friend, Chase, than go shooting some Decepticon. I love how you can see the elaborate gears and wires in him! His hand was obviously well worked with too! It must've taken some time just to finish Hound! But I believe that Alyson will be incredibly grateful!

Chase herself is really cute! Sitting on Hound's shoulder, she appears to be at peace. I love how her shoes are off and how her hair is all unkempt. It seems like how Chase would act! She's marvelous even if she's small and I can't help but think for the millionth time that you've done a miraculous job! I don't think that this is awkward at all! Try to look at these things in a positive way and remember your flaws when you draw something similar once more! That's how you'll improve hon'! But for now, I think that you should savor how wonderful this picture looks!

Oh, I'm going to start working on my OC tomorrow. Hopefully I'll have it up by Thursday or Friday!

Great job hon', I'm happy to have you as a friend. Those two up there really are best friends aren't they?

The movieverse Hound is cute, but drawing him is still a great pain to me... I'm not good at drawing mechanic things so the mere sketch of Hound cost me much time. Anyway, I'm glad I managed to finish this pic on time. Next time I'll remember to do the proportion right if I ever have to draw another robot again.

Yeah, he is cute! It looks like a pain though, a huge pain in the arse, as Rose would probably put it! If the sketch took that long, I can't imagine the coloring! The proportions won't be too hard to fix, especially for a fabulous artist like yourself.

You're welcome again!
