Hi guys let me share this piece, I was planning on submitting for the transtopia art challenge. Unfortunately I wasn't able to finish in time. I used the artwork in the new masterpiece grimlock box (MP 08-x) as my inspiration. Hope you guys like it.

Wow, wonderful artwork!

You immediately get bonus points for excellent linework and honestly, it's great to see some nice variation of line weight in Transformers art! Mechanical forms greatly benefit from it. I really like the panel lines in the shadow of the wings/dinosaur shell kibble, the shadows on the left side of Grimlock's torso, as well as on Grimlock's thighs and knees. They really give some depth to the forms. Especially the thighs, wow, they're super thin. Very nicely done!

Hey, on the Grimlock. How much did you photo shop? I mean, you can obviously tell that you cleaned it up digitally, but did you digitally ink it also? I've thought about trying it myself, and it makes the artwork look good, but does it take much time? The only problem that I've seen with it at times is it seems to wash out some detail or lighten it, which is what it looks like could have happened on the background clouds, or the detail is incredibley thin. Also is hatching hard to do when you ink it that way? I'm sure that it's very time consuming.
Either way the artwork looks really clean.
Good Job. :APPLAUSE:

@Everyone
Hi guys, thanks for all your comments. Here is a link of the image I was talking about. Regarding the issue and page(or cover)for the comics it was published, I honestly don't have any idea. :(

Sorry wasn't able to find any bigger image:

@Sgt.Prime: I did this artwork entirely in photoshop. So it was easy for me by just zooming in on a area to control the thickness of the lines. A little tedious and took a lot of my time though. Been a long time since I drew last.

Storm Shadow ROC,
Hey, your artwork looks amazing, and extremely clean. The inker did a great job also. I was wondering if it was all done all by hand? IF so, then you are very talented. Have you ever done professionnal work, because I think that I have seen your name before, and also has the inker ever done work professionally. If you guys aren't getting paid to do artwork, then maybe you ought to look into it.
Great work guys!! :APPLAUSE:

Hey there,
The artwork was drawn by me and inked with micron pens and quill & ink. all the work was done a standard size Blueline comic board (11 x 17). The only time it was touched on a computer was when the word bubbles were added.
