Dude, that is epic. It's a war scene! On a coffee table no less! How long did that take you?

I used the opertunity to finally reconfigure my control console. My monitor was off at an angle and it was starting to mess with my lower back.
The new confab:



Trypticon is homeless. At least he gets a corner. It's all good though. I'm not done playing with him. Not to mention stickers.

The rest of TR gets a home down here on this catchall shelf.

Going have lock jaw from all that 'TSCHE-CHU-CHU-CHE-TSCHE'
Do I spy with my little eye the 'Tron in the way back?
I've noticed that you always seem to put the Autobots on the left and the Decepticons on the right. I do the exact opposite (I'm usually backasswards though). That poses a fun poll. Does anyone have a preferencial bias when poses fight scenes? Is there a right or wrong way? Does one way feel more right and why? Is it from the old group shots found in artwork, catalogs and/or check list posters?
Think it over, it's time for Coffee Tawlk!

Just try not to get to verklempt

HA! I have pondered this for years. There are two shelves were I purposely tried to counteract this. But, I think it is something subconscious. Due to reading English, we are programmed to take in visual information from left to right. Maybe a test of the soul. I tend to lead with the forces of good over the forces of evil?carytheone wrote:I've noticed that you always seem to put the Autobots on the left and the Decepticons on the right.
Could have to do with the dominate side of the brain we use?
Not entirely sure Curly. Definitely a philosophical quandary for the ages!
You do indeed.carytheone wrote:Do I spy with my little eye the 'Tron in the way back?![]()
Thanks Sig. Lots of good work and good fun happens at that desk.Sigma Magnus wrote:Holy scrap, that is an awesome desk! Personally though, when it comes to displays I couldn't have my own figures like that for fear of stuff falling over.
I've been playing the game of Robot Jenga for years. Sometimes things fall. Rarely do they break though. *knocks on wood*

So besides the bots in my cupboard, my setups occur only when meme-spiration hits. And when that happens, I generally go with whichever side looks best on a bot, the angle, etc.Even in the cupboard, though, the factions are all mixed -- the War is truly over, it seems.
As a kid, when me and my bff did the daily face-off, iirc the Autobots tended to be lined-up in a single row on the left, armed to the faceplate. Same with the Cons on the right!

The C Type suit is supposed to be the Utilitron constructobot load lifter type.

Hence the cool hydrauliclaws.

I love the big bubble canopy on this one.
He does come with a blaster rifle too, in case the Waruder breach the main defenses.

Because who doesn't love chicken walker mode?

Then there was that time, when all hope was surely lost, but Dale from Cargo Bay 6 single handedly drove the Waruder out of Moon Base, and saved the day.

Dale!!!

Even better Chief! It's a Cintiq tablet/monitor. I can actually look down at what I'm drawing the natural way.
Love that thing.

I found them because they started translating the new Diaclone reboot stuff, but they are working on going way back to the OG stuff.
If your interested, you should check them out.
http://micromanclub.tumblr.com/about
There is lots of cool old art to see and fun old facts and fiction to read.
But one thing they have hipped me to is this contemporary Japanese illustrator named Takeshi Nakamura who is doing these great retro paintings/illustrations that are just AWESOME.


I love how remanisant his style is of the old Diaclone catalogs, like this...

Crew of Spirited Boys links to Nakamura's Twatter account as "Source". Check out some of his other work it is all equally as awesome.
