Description THIS IS NOT SLASH

*Temporarily moved to scraps. *

Every time a warrior goes into battle, he faces the chance that he may never return from it. For Decepticons this is an accepted fact. It is seen as the ultimate way to go; going down in a blaze of glory. This is a fantasy, there is never glory in war; only death, destruction, pain and loss.

Other times a warrior may go into battle and return wounded and bleeding. For Starscream, it was not his day of glory, but his day of suffering. A mission that had worked out surprisingly well, ended with him being attacked by a new Earth weapon that was designed to penetrate very tough armour: Tridian bullets, fluted like drill bits, that spiral at high speed and drill through the target like a hot knife through butter.

For a Seeker there is no worse pain than to lose a wing. The very thing that makes them stand above all other transformers is their graceful symmetry and proud wings.

Sketched and scanned then coloured in Photoshop. I got a "new" Hard drive installed so I have 37Gig of space as opposed to 300mb. Big difference. I am starting to really enjoy Photoshop, oh yes, I really am.

Just a note: the painting on the wall is "Decepticon Empire" that I had hand painted in acrylics a few months back. I thought it would be a nice touch to it since the story behind this relates to the RP. The Painting is of Phoenix, Starscream's wife, and their Leopard cassetticon pet, Sentinel.

Hey, it's good. Maybe it's just me, but his body seems to twist in ways it shouldn't. But then, he's supposed to be injured, so it fits.

The sparks on the injured wing are cool.

The spilt energon is a bit too purplish.

Very cool, and I like the spark details where the wing's been ripped off.

It's also brought to mind the question: What would a Seeker do if they fell on their back? I mean, the don't seem to have that much flexibility so it would probably be somewhat like a turtle, and it would take a while, but because of their legs they would be able to sit up somewhat... I guess...

"What would a Seeker do if they fell on their back?" - I do think they'd have a hard time getting up (though not as hard a time as Dreadmoon [link] or Scourge would have, presumably).

Wow, how would he get up? And I agree, Scourge would have trouble to, he's pretty top heavy. Crumplezone would probably have difficulty as well... Wow, there are alot of TF's who would have trouble getting up again, I just keep thinking of them....

Very beautiful light and colouring... I like the energon effect. Somehow, it makes me remember that chapter of your story where SS is ambushed by Galvatron.
