Description He stood there, watching in silence.

Battle was over and there was no one else but them. The rest had either left, or lying on the ground. Wounded, dying or dead.

"I don't want to die..."

Just a silent whisper of the broken drone, but it didn't escape the old medic's audio receptors. The simple wish to live, the small whisper of hope for tomorrow... changed everything.

The wait for final hit to land, to leave this world, was excruciating, but it never came.

Not today.



If nothing else, the pain in my arm taught me how to loosen up a bit of my iron pencil grip I couldn't get the image out of my head so I just .. had.. to.. draw! Very sketchy since my arm can't handle precise lines >:I Little bit of fanfic inspired... There is no background because I felt the emptiness would give a little melancholic, yet warm feeling with the sepia colors.

Hugh, my feels! *dramatic collaps*
That is really freaking amazing! Love how the colors are sepia and all light and moody. The tidbit of text just adds to it all, it's great!
I don't quite get how the pictures ends with Ratchet joining cons... But I don't care, I love it!

pika In reply to Zarak342 [2012-05-25 16:11:04 +0000 UTC]

The idea is that he realized that the drones they've been destroying aren't as "drone" as they've thought them to be. They're just your average cybertronians who have feelings, personality, ect. and since Ratchet is a medic, he couldn't take it anymore, wanting to prevent more of his own kind from dying.

Thanks If I hadn't made the decision to leave the pic like this, there would probably be too much stuff in the background to nullify the effect I wanted to give to the image... *nod nod* X)

OC1 is freeware ^_________^ I do recommend you to try it, especially the watercolor brush

watercolor brushes are just what I'm always jelly of when I see peoples' art. ;u; maybe I will.

OpenCanvas' watercolor brush might not be what you'd expect, but .. I can't live without it! I color 99% of my works with it!

oh wow!! Can I import opencanvas files to photoshop without flattening the image?

pika In reply to JenKristo [2012-05-25 07:17:29 +0000 UTC]

not with oc1 or oc2, but 3-5 I think has a "save file as PSD". If you really need to, you can save each layer as a separate image, then add them into one as separated layers in photoshop. Or email the file to me and I'll do it for you XD Hahaha.

JenKristo In reply to pika [2012-05-26 01:06:46 +0000 UTC]

lol aww thank you <3 But yeah if I get it I'll either look for the PSD option or save layers separately. I forgot about that.

I didn't use any brushes in PS5, just added noise filters C:

JenKristo In reply to pika [2012-05-23 11:08:02 +0000 UTC]

noise filters, interesting. Noise always looks bad when I try it. I don't know what I'm doing wrong.

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

pika In reply to JenKristo [2012-05-23 11:11:55 +0000 UTC]

When I use noise, I always pick the "monochromatic" option so it doesn't add other colors than those in the image. (Well at least it looks like that >XD) and try to keep the amount at less than 20

JenKristo In reply to pika [2012-05-23 23:37:42 +0000 UTC]

oh that makes a lot of sense. I was always bugged by the colors! This is really exciting.
