This started out simply enough as a pic for me to practice drawing stuff like hand to hand combat featuring my OC Charger and Starscream. Then I decided I need to draw more pics with backgrounds so I thought "How about a junkyard?" But then it got away from me and I don't know what the heck I was thinking. I went totally overboard. If you look closely, you'll see seven cameos of famous cars in the pile.(Can you find them?)Answers here http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/51863985/
Enjoy!

I think I need to lay off the pen for awhile.

ITS AWESOME!

and I just realized how bad ass the Mach 5 would be as a transformer!

I do like your level of detail. Nicely done. For some reason it looks more like they are dancing than fighting thou...

I like them ballet dancing, heh. :lol:

Cool

Did you do that by hand, or on the computer?

by **Charger426** » Thu Mar 29, 2007 9:27 pm

By hand. First in pencil, Then in pen, then erase leftover pencil.

@$#%*!!! I'm getting that alot. Like I said, this was to practice for hand to hand. I think it would be better to have punches and no grappling I guess until I figure out what I'm doing wrong. Back to the drawing board. :-?

very cool man, i don't think it looks like dancing though... maybe you should try having one character be winning the bout though...

anywho very nice keep up the good work!

The level of detail is amazing, but their stances are awkward, to say the least. Maybe you should have him punching Starscream in the face, or have them wrestling.

I think you might be aiming for a jujitsu kind of thing, but to be honest, for a while I thought they were holding hands. By the way, wrist locks, jujitsu and akido won't work on Transformers, because a majority of them are double jointed and have joints that people don't have, so your best option is to just have them resort to fisticuffs.

When drawing people fighting, it's often good to research real fighting styles and stances, so you can avoid having it look awkward. I'm not saying become an 8th Degree Black Belt in Tae Kwon Do, but watch a little boxing and ultimate fighting.

One suggestion I'd give you is to find a picture of two martial artists fighting, and copy their stances exactly, but make them Transformers instead.

I see that Starscream's trying to shove charger onto his face and Charger is trying to break his fall.

It is hard to stop a fight mid motion and not have it look a little odd. Have a look at some of the very strange sports snapshots of people flipping head over heels or what have you. They can occasionalyl end up in very humourous or awkward looking positions.

Keep that in mind when you view stopped action.

Anyway I like these lines charger. Well done :grin:

I dunno about Dancing. Looks like Charger's shoulder checking Starscream. Either way, color me impressed.

Love all the pop culture cars in the background. Can't believe no one's noticed the General Lee behind the two.
