Description
I'll bet you anything that by morning I'll see a bazillion things wrong with this and will be cursing myself for bringing it into being.For now, I am quite proud of it.
So as some of you know I've been pretty sick lately. So here in my third consecutive week of sneezing, hacking and coughing, I felt the need for a little self indulgence.
So for no real reason, I drew my RPG super hero Sunspot having an aerial battle with everyones favorite screechy Decepticon.
Sunspot is from a 1940's pulp fiction universe, (If you want to see some of her wacky adventures, check out these sketches my sister ~Artoveli drew. [link] and [link] ) so technically, unless she'd been flung to the far reaches of the future (the 80's) I probably should have made Screamer sort of steam punk-ish.
The thought never even crossed my mind while I was drawing it, and I wouldn't have known how to even if it had.
The clouds look terrible. Please pretend they don't. (Lol!)
This took a really long time to finish, so PLEASE COMMENT! It will help keep my spirits up while my health declines.

I love the soft smudgy fire! X3 And the poses are really dynamic and all "Woosh woosh"! ... if that makes sense.
Haha! Thanks! The poses were a lot of fun, and it was my first time trying clouds. (Backgrounds really make all the difference huh)
Yes woosh woosh makes perfect sense, to me. :3

lol, awsome XD I love it when people put characters from completely different stories/time periods together X3 The fire looks amazing too! You should definately make fire more often :3

Woo! I'm so glad you like it!
I'm a little embarrassed to admit it, but this took me around seven hours to finish. o__O;;
And I know what you mean. Cross overs are so much fun! I've loved them for as long as I can remember.
This was my first time trying to do fire on the compy.

Dude...Ridel! This is kick-as! I love the dynamic poses!! The perspective on Screamer is fab! It must have been had getting down the perspective on him, but I think it's spot-on. And your Sunspot? she's soooo tiny compared to him! It really adds to the intensity of the picture--will she be smooshed by Starscream's GIANT HAND OF WINY DOOM?!, or will she blast him away with awesome SPECIAL AFFECTS FIRE OF TRUTH AND JUSTICE!
this is EPIC! :V

Daww *flusterfluster* Tanks Ingy!
Getting Screamers perspective was actually surprisingly easy. Getting Sunspot's was a little more tricky. But I have no idea why! (Maybe because I had to draw her back?)
Of course she's tiny compared to him. Starscream is really tall!
Unfortunately things are slightly in Screamers favor, as Sunspot is only level one at the moment.

I don't know why, but all the sudden, all I can think of is,
"Sunspot! Use flash!" *ZROOOOOM*
Sunspot used FLASH.
SUPER EFFECTIVE.
It has little effect.
Starscream: MY OPTICS! *crashes in nearest mountain*
Success!
Why is it in Pokemon, "it has little effect" never actually affects the battle? O_o'

SO TRUE!! What the heck is the point! D:<
At least flash reduces your enemies precision.
How sad for Starscream though! Beaten by a level one superhero! XD
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
True, true....I always taught my main pikachu flash in the yellow version...then he had it forever. DOH! I stopped doing that after awhile! :B
and, as for Starscream getting beat by a level 1 Superhero....he'll get used to it. I mean, he's pretty abused already, right? :S
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah that's true. I'll give him one thing, the guy just don't give up!
Beaten and humiliated, he's always back next episode with a new scheme. It would be insperational if it weren't so sad!

I wonder what on earth they're fighting about.

You are welcome, I love my StarScream... can't wait for the second Transformers movie, he is playing a much bigger role. ^_^
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
*Gasp* Really?! *vibrates with excitement*
Even though I'm not a huge fan of his movie design, it'll be awesome to see him in a bigger part!
(As in, getting to say more than "Hail Megatron." and "The humans have taken it!")

You didn't know? There is a alot of stuff on the new movie on wikipedia, you should check it out. ^_^ I looked at it and started geeking at all the new transformers, and what was revealed about the plot.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Well on the one hand I'd love to know all about the new movie, but on the other I don't want to spoil the whole thing! 
What is Transformers world?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Like the entirety of it, for example. Beast Wars, in that saga there is the character Dinobot, he is basically StarScream in raptor form, he is torn between his allegiance with Megatron, and making the right choices for the greater good (aligning with Optimus)... which at the end of the second one or sometime during it he will join sides with him.
There isn't enough on the wikipedia entry to spoil it for you trust me, but it does tie together with those comics you have heard about, where StarScream leaves Earth to rebuild the All-Spark... lol
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Oh like, The whole transformers world in general!
Yes I'd say I am.
I remember beast wars coming on when I was a kid, but my parents never let me watch it. So, to this day I've only seen like one and a half episodes. (When I found out there was one were G1 Screamer comes back as a ghost I had to track it down! XD)
So since Dinobot joined up with the Autobots I guess he's like Armada Starscream? (I've only seen the first thirteen episodes or so of Armada, but I know that much.)
The first Transformers show that I actually started watching was RID because it came on just before X-men evolution (I was like, ten at the time).
I wasn't too into it character wise, but the idea that any car could be a giant robot in disguise did catch my imagination.
Anyway, long story short we lost cable and thus TF, so I went ahead and forgot all about it until the 07 movie came out.
Again, the characters and the writing weren't so great, but while in the theater I got this sudden rush of nostalgia. "Oh yeah! I forgot that I love this concept!"
After that I watched G1 and have been completely hooked ever since.
:3

I see, glad to meet you. ^_^ lol I got into it at Beast Wars, never watched the earlier stuff, and didn't like the stuff after Beast Wars. The movie came out and I fell back in love. My favorite characters have alays been the conflicted ones, you ever heard of Jetfire? He is in the sequel, and he defects from the decepticons at some point in the movie... he is gonna be a SR-71 Blackbird... ^_^ Oh, by the way, it is supposed to be coming out June 26, 2009.. hope you are ready. lol
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Oh I was ready as soon as I saw the first one.
I've heard of Jetfire, but again I didn't get as far as his character in Armada. I do know that he's a remake of Skyfire though, who was in G1. He was with the Decepticons for a short time, but that was because he'd been out of the loop for a while and didn't really know what side was doing what. Also he'd been friends with Starscream like, a billion years ago.
Anyway, he defected by the end of the episode.
But I know what you mean. Nothing fleshes a character out like a little internal conflict.

Wow... never thought I would run into someone so knowledgeable on the subject... ^_^ I am suprised to find out that you are a girl. lol
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah I'm a little embarrassed at how much I know. Shouldn't all that memory be devoted to something useful? like math or something?
But oh well.
Oh you'd be surprised how many Trans Fans are girls. DA is absolutely packed with em!
But then, I've always had a soft spot for giant transforming mecha. (I was totally obsessed with Robotech when I was fourteen. It still holds a special place in my heart.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Oh, so hold are you now then, if I may ask? I never watched Robotech either... but I do love the Macross movie... I have always seen giant mechs of all sorts to be cute/adorable.. lol Especially Zoids... ^_^
But there is nothing wrong with having dedicated memory to something like this.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Lol! well, not old enough that Robotech was playing on TV when i was a kid or anything.
I only got into it because this friend of my brothers left a huge stack of the novelizations with him ages ago.
I was bored one day and picked it up. After that my fate was sealed.
Cute/adorable? I guess I can see what you mean. But it really depends on the mech.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Muhaha.
At least you can kind of see what I mean. lol Have you ever seen Zoids?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Actually a little younger (went to your profile to see).
No I haven't actually seen Zoids. I think it started coming on TV after a lost cable. As of today I still only have two channels. o__O
But hey, what else is youtube for?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
lol It is an awesome show.
Youtube? Where did that come from? lol
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I just mean that I can use youtube to catch up on the shows I missed (like zoids for example). That's how I got to see G1.

I see, I did that with Naruto for awhile... before it got taken down..

Yeah that's the thing about youtube. You can't put off watching a show.
