Hi, my names Gary and I'm new to this site. I love transformers, and have have passed it on to my son Lewis, Last year I painted his bedroom in transformers and throught you would like to see.

Can you be my Daddy/Mummy?

That's awesome, although the movie guys would give me night terrors.

Hahahaha , thanks for the comments guy's. My son love's them he want's more of the movie Transformers, There's alot of spaces put aside for revenge of the fallen transformers, I'm gonna Give it a few weeks and I'll be Drawing them on the wall, Lewis wants Devastator under the picture of laserbeak, mudflap & skids by prime and he want's more animated transformers on the walls too, so I'll fit them in too.lol

That... is... AWESOME!!!

I'm an 18 year old girl an I am so jealous!!!

Your son is a lucky kid.

What mediums do you use?
I'm curious, being I've done a few murals myself and learned a thing or two from trial and error. What I like to do now is use flat base paint and mix my own colors so I don't have to spend so much on paint. Then I pencil in, paint, and trace out what I need with either sharpies or those big fat permanent markers. That way the line work pops out nicely. Saves alot of time too when it comes to masking out things with tape.

Hope to see more,
Laters,

Wow, I particularly like how movie Jazz looks.

This definately needs to be posted here.

I started first by, drawing all the transformers in pencil, when that was done, I went over the pencile with a fineliner to see where everything was, then I started painting, I used normal water colour paints, I started to paint all the reds, blacks ect, block colour, where I didn't need to mix colours. When that was done I started mixing the colours. I tried adding light areas and dark areas to the pictures to give them more life. When all that was done I went around it all with a few permanent markers. I think it looks ok, i know my son loves it. but he would say that.hahaha. hopefully other people will too.

Well I like it.

From the sound of it, it seems our techniques are very similar. What you might want to try, down the road, is keeping a more painted look to it but not worrying about fleshing in all the blacks as pitch black and all the bright reds as super red. But let it look painted, try painting it with some water added to the bursh, it gives the art piece this nice watercolor feel which looks really groovey. Also saves oh so much on buying paint.

But I'm sure either way, your son is still prob the luckiest child as far as giant robot themed rooms come. He he. do you have anymore of your work posted here or there?
