Good afternoon. Friday is upon us so let us rejoice with the joining of Age of Animus to pop culture.

Here’s my little buddy Skitter dressed up as Bumblebee. It occurs to me now that I’m posting this that his left forearm is too long, but what’s done is done. I still think this turned out pretty decent. If I’d started with Bumblebee instead of Optimus Prime way back when, I might have been more tempted to finish the set.

That’s all for this week! Another Transformer will be on display next Friday so come on back now, ya hear?

Flashback – Optimus Prime

Hello everybody! It’s time for another flashback! So let’s get to it.

It’s been close to seven years since I first tried a Transformers mash-up. I did Prime and then I decided that it wasn’t working so I dropped it. I’ve progressed since then and thought I’d try again.

Here we have Red Rich reprising his role as Optimus Prime. I really like how the helmet turned out. The rest is…ok.

Here’s the comparison to the original. Back then I was trying to follow Prime’s design more than I was trying to adapt it to fit my character. I simplified things much more for the update. It’s not perfect, but it fits better.

That’s all for today. I didn’t hate the result as much this time around so I have some new Transformers mash-ups coming up. Have a good weekend everybody. Stay safe and stay healthy.

Is it mash-up time again? It would seem so! Let’s get to it then shall we?

Okay so this week I tried something a little more challenging than my usual fare as I chose Transformers as a theme. My original plan was to have three ready for Wednesday. Well, after three hours or so on Monday all I’d managed to produce was an unsatisfactory ink of my first sketch. Tired, I stopped and started again on Tuesday with a new ink opting this time to round the edges a little more as I didn’t like all the angles in the first ink. I liked the second one a little better so I coloured it.In all it’s taken me seven hours to finish this one piece! I have a whole new respect for the artists who draw Transformers comics because Six knows I wouldn’t have the patience for it. I thought I might do a full cast set of Autobots and then another full cast set of Decepticons. After just one piece, I’m not sure I want to even try another.

So here’s Optimus Rich, leader of the Auto-tinkers. For comparison, I’ve included the original sketch and the first and second inks. As always, click on a picture to enlarge it.
