Description Optimus Prime.

This is a rarity for me, colouring someone else's work, but the lines of *KidNotorious are so cool I thought I just couldn't go wrong. This design is an awesome mesh of G1, Animated and Bayformer Prime, and it really appealled to me.

I deliberately left out the flames, as they cluttered the colours, and don't suit this design.

This was a very complex piece to colour, and was unusual for me as I did it in short bursts over many days, which is why there is such a high attention to detail, so please fullview

EDIT Bumblebee here [link]

The further I look into your gallery the more I love your work. The mixture of the different transformer generations certainly works well here. I couldnt help but giggle at the bayformer name, always makes me think of babeformers and that would be a different show all together XD

Ohh the things I could imagen XD certainly would add some bizzare moment to the Toy Story group P: I would love to have seen Buzz vs Megatron, I think I would pay to see that

I love what you did with the colors on this. I've seen a lot of other people color his stuff, but this is the BEST I've seen. just to damn cool

memorypalace In reply to Chadfuller [2010-07-09 22:59:31 +0000 UTC]

Wow, thank you
You're right, his stuff is very popular amongst colourists, but it was the design of this guy that just drew me to it The strange thing is I'd tried to simplify the movie design like this myself, and decided the end result couldn't be shown here
Anyway, thanks again for the kind compliment

I really love the colors, you did a great job making him look metallic. It has a kind of vector look to it, in my humble opinion, but it goes very well with the style of the line art. Love it.

Thank you, I prefer to give Transformers that shiny, new look. I know they are often drawn scuffed and dirty, but I like them to look their best for their picture XD

Well the new "Transformers Prime"(?) show coming soon seems that it may have a simplified Movie- verse style. Hopefully it will be cool.

memorypalace In reply to Novastorm73 [2010-06-30 22:27:10 +0000 UTC]

I've heard about this show, but all I know is the title, and that Peter Cullen is involved. The simplified Bayformer look would make sense, too

Frank Welker reprises Megatron too. Or so I've heard.

love it!
You are very good at giving metallic surfaces their well deserved polished look and again I love that this has no outline. To me, it looks almost as if you had painstakingly pieced this together out of colored paper which gives this work a very interesting aesthetic.

memorypalace In reply to NeoNNerd08 [2010-06-27 12:56:32 +0000 UTC]

Well I do like my Transformers to look their best
I am fond of the absent outline look, though as you say, it is definitely painstaking XD
Anyway, thank you for the considered comment

It's fashionable to colour Transformers kinda scuffed and dirty, but I prefer the fresh and shiny look right now.
Oh, and thank you very much!
