Description Rough pencil sketch of Blades mid-attack.

I really liked how this sketch was coming along, so I scanned it and uploaded it. ^_^ His HEAD is too big, but I liked how the rest came out. A lot of the shading I've done with my pencils, here, will go away once I ink this...

The inking and colouring/shading will prove a challenge. c_c He's not kicking -- he's actually firing his leg gun. If I follow the pencil shading, with the light coming from the left-side of the page... coupled with the blast from the dun. Oy. @_x; Well... never coloured anything like this before, so it'll be a learning experience at least.

And FYI, those are his rotor blades he's weilding as swords. X3

Well done on the head! It's hard making the combiner heads look good, I know...

Heh... thanks. It's a little too big, in relation to his body... But thank you. Some of them are very tricky. x_X

His rotor blades? That is too cool.

Yup, his rotor blades. ^.^ His bio said he would prefer to use it to slice through Cons, than fight at a distance... so just went with the idea a couple people have that his rotor blades could be detached, and used as swords. Hey... if Springer can do it, so can he. xD

He is cute... He'll just never admit it. X3 Thanks!

Of course not. That would *totally* ruin his bad ass image.

this is nice...it's got action and good perspective, and it must've taken some patience to get those lines that tidy. ^_^ cool stuff!

Thanks! ^__^ It did indeed... erased quite a bit before coming to this. ^^ It'll look a lot cleaner once I get the inks done...

EE! It's da hummingbird! XD I will never be able to get that image outta my head BTW... anyway, love the perspectives on this one! I always have so much trouble with full body, it's amazing how easy you make it look so easy. Love it!

Uftaki In reply to DesertCat87 [2007-06-15 04:17:44 +0000 UTC]

*lol* Me neither. X3

Thanks. Was fiddling with the sketch, and decided to at least try playing with perspective. *lol* And trust me, it's not easy. X3 Thanks a lot.

Oh I love the perspective in this! And his expression is awesome too! Really nice job on him so far, I look forward to what he'll look like when he's finished!

Thanks! ^__^ Some angles were a little tweaked, so it didn't look TOO odd... Going to work on an inked copy soon! :3

Very cool! He almost seems chibi-ized. You did a great job on pencils on this.

Heh... it's the big head that ended up making him look chibi-ish. Thanks!

TFs meets Ninja Turtles? Nice job!

Uftaki In reply to kenyastarflight [2007-06-10 04:09:21 +0000 UTC]

Thanks! But, um... not -really-. Blades was lifting his leg to fire the gun mounted on there. Just can't draw the effect of gunfire accurately... so I'm hoping to do that in the colouring process.

And anyway... Blades certainly isn't the FIRST Autobot to display some martial-arts talent. Ninja-medic, anyone?

Ah. Ninja Turtles was just the first thing to pop into my head when I saw the pic.

Ninja Medic!

*lol* Well... who's to say Blades doesn't watch TMNT in his offtime? XD

((I'm not the one who came up with the term! XD Dunno who did, but it's fitting!))
