Description
Okay, this'll be a page *if* I get that far in the fic. But this was something that I had in mind from the time I wrote the fic. The whale was something that I could see in my mind quite clearly.Anyway, this was for fun. I made a logo similar in nature to the ones that IDW and DW had on their comics. Being that I shouldn't use Transformers as the main title for the "cover" I decided to go with what we called Seekerverse. I think it looks kinda cheesy......but I like the logo.
The background contains rock formations similar to what she show in the cartoon. The funky dome thing in the background is called the "gardendome" What that is is from Seekerverse RP where Decepticon Botanist Sunburst, studies earth plant life. She accelerates plant growth. The Decepticons, however use the dome as a sort of spot to go to get away from the hustle and bustle of Decepticon life.
The room with the view is Starscream's recharge chamber.
So, that's it for now, I think.
Sketched and Scanned. Inked and Coloured in Photoshop.

Nice sover scheme. You can also add artist/story designer credits like they sometime do on comic covers, and the price.

What a sweet image of Thundercracker looking with wonder at the marine life outside - in spite of his position as an "evil" Decepticon soldier.

Very cool! And know I know for certain that I've read that particular fan fic. It's a great fic too, and I really like the part about the whales in it. ^_^
Nice job on the whales too, and the landscape. I think the "garden dome" is a cool idea, and that is certainly somewhere I would love to go to relax.
And by the way, what's the purpose of accelerating the growth of Earthen plant life?

One. to make it lusher quicker. Trees take forever to grow

XD They do indeed, and that would be an interesting idea. I wonder if there's any other possible ways to get energy from them other than burning them... Maybe tapping the photosynthesis process?

I am sure they'll find something very science fictionish in time

This is very nicely done! I like all the little details, like the logo and the little Starscream sculpture on the desk.

I took the sketch and changed it from black and white to a colour other than black. Purple blue. Anyway, I made a 100% solid black brush on a 45% angle. click on window and select brushes and change it in there. Then put a new layer on over the sketch and use your black brush to redraw the lines. This may take time.
Anyway.... that's how I ink.

ah, I see. Thanks. I was wondering because everyhing that I can think of gets jagged edges and I've not had the patience for the paths thing

I use brush mode not pencil mode
then I marquee the colours under the lines not in the lines.

This is awsome. I really like the little logo in the corner. It's a perfect graffic design for comics.

I love it Sunstar! Your coloring skills are improving by leaps and bounds. And the placement of the logos over the original art make it look like a real comic book!
