It begins! I’ve added a few digital items to my Ko-fi shop; like texture sets and a starfield! These are items i’ve created and used in comics and illustrations and now i’m making ‘em available to you to have fun with! More to come!
Since the trailer for Transformers: Rise of the Beasts just dropped, now’s a good time for some Beast Wars fan art! All of these were done for the programme booklet thingy in years past for the TF Nation Transformers convention. Optimus Primal was done for this year’s, Rhinox for 2016’s, and Blackarachnia for 2017!
Just lettin ya know that I now have a Ko-fi page! It’s a great little page for supporting artists like meself, giving gracious art-lovers like you the ability to support your favorite artists directly!
You’ll have the ability to donate a one time gift or i’ve also set up a couple small-amount membership tiers with access to new exclusive sketches i’ll be making for the site!
**I’ve also opened up for commissions** that you’re able to sign up for in the site directly, so if you’d like to get some custom art from me please feel free to reach out! There’s many options to choose from and just in time for the holidays
A couple of years ago I went through a “transformers phase”, and by that I mean I made a couple of transformers fanarts which is not something I usually do.
I have always been a big fan of Beast Wars and when I was looking at some beast wars era toys I found curious there were so many bat maximals, so I wanted to try and make my version of them.
First is the original Optimus Primal toy that turned into a bat, the original color scheme was gray instead of black, but I wanted him to have the same palette as the gorilla primal, also I gave him some batman features because I like batman
Then its Nightscream from Beast Machines, when I was reading about the character I found that while in the original series he was portrayed as a bit of an emo character, in the japanese dub he was turned into a very flamboyant gay character, and when the character was adapted into the legends comic he was portraid as a crossdresser that many characters mistook as female despite being male, so I went ahead and made it a “femboi” because I felt it suited his design
Next is Sonar, a transmetal 2 bat that never showed in the cartoon but did in the comics, in her toy bio she was never given any pronouns, so when she was added to the comics they made her female to have more fembots, so I made her a cute fembot, because why not
The last one is Noctorro, a Bat/Bull fuzor that also never showed in the cartoon, but did in the comics, when I read the characters bio it said noctorro is a fighter that uses no guns, thats why his toy didnt include any, and while his whole body had the same dark blue and golden color scheme, his face was particulary red, so I decided to make it look like a it is wearing a luchador mask, this paired well with its “no guns” fighting style. I also made his beast mode because the original toy was a bit of underwhelming and I knew it could look better
Also I know there is a new Maximal bat that in the comics called Nyx, maybe I will draw her later
