Here's some line art I did of the old Marvel Comics Transformer character Straxus. He first appeared in Transformers #17 (June 1986). He was the Decepticon Lord High Governor of Polyhex, a Cybertron city and an all around baddie.

My hope was to keep as much of the original design elements from his old comic days while updating him enough to fit in with the look of modern TF comics.

Pencil drawing on Bristol Paper with Photoshop inks and shading. About 2 hrs from rough to this stage.

I hope to post a color version in the near future.

This drawing is part of IDW's monthly art contest, so if you'd like to check it out, feel free. The assignment was to draw a comics only TF character and there are some really nice entries. Check them out here: [link]
