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.

That’s all for this week! What will next Wednesday bring? Come back and find out!
