"Final" design for Sludge in beast mode:

Here's a few sketches:
- trying to find a pose for Sludge in robot mode
- experimenting designs for Sludge bot head
- possible Slag bot mode w/ head

No pepperonies yet - except for the one in the middle of Sludge's head.

Billy lovin' Sludge's alt mode, especially them gauntlet feet.

As for Slag, that bottom right hand corner is looking very promising so far.

I'll be back with something finished in a millenium.

just kidding. :lol:

A week after I recover from Christmas finals.:/ Crunch Crunch Crunch!
If not someone should start tazering me to keep on track.

Well, finally found a way to do the legs of "Beowulf": reverse them so that the feet become the knees. Back of the leg is formed by robotic parts like that with Lio Convoy, for example. Also gave him a new headdesign, and I personally like both, so have a hard time choosing there.

He might have hobbit feet aqnd thusly not require shoes???

BTW Dev, how's the public transport strike going?? Any signs of letting up??

Meh, might as well post this for now, as I'm inking several things at the same time. :oops:

I plan to do a transforming piece with Galvy II.

initial sketch:

Inks in progress (robot mode):

The tail section splits off into a staff and cannon. Just annoying to ink the details along the way....

Oh and Ra, did you get a chance to do my favorite homicidal crab's bot mode yet?;)

Calibos / the artist formerly known as TheBizz?
btw, aren't images like that not allowed on the forum? not that I mind. although I think the breasts come up too high.

Well theres no actually nudity. Since shes not human and all Plus the nipples dont look like real ones. So im sure there isn't a problem.

like I said, I don't have a problem with the subject matter, I'm just arguing semantics, but I don't think the fact that they're robots changes anything. remember how that TF that turned into a vibrator was taken off the site? no nudity involved there.

*sigh* I wish I could get involved in this. I'm just not motivated in anything (here or outside).
I also won't have a method of getting ... oh wait, I think I have a spare Graphire drawing tablet in my stuff here at my mom's house! no scanner here, and my Intuous was back at my apartment in another city.
I want to do that Blackarachnia. don't have anything really in mind for alt mode, but I did want to play with the existing design. these humanoid alt modes always strike me as the least plausible... just not much purpose in such similar modes.

also, although not original enough, long ago I did a Beast Machines Tarantulas (modified BM BA) that I was reminded of when I saw this Myth Wars Tarantulas. mine was much less overtly demonic, and so less resemblance to Unicron. I was still going for a "prince of darkness" (Lucifer) look though. he had his Transmetal Fox Kids color scheme, which was sort of angelic. I'll just post the hand-drawn headshot I did. oh btw, that's the same version, just with his crown extended down into a face-mask. he has multiple eyes with his mask on and off.

Nope, have been smacked down by the cold since last monday. :evil:

Well, I'm going on vacation next week, so I'll try and finish it then (along with a couple of other ideas I've had in my mind).

I LOVE that Galvatron Acidwing!!!!

Tue Dec 27, 2005 11:48 pm

acidwing- lookin good there

ravage- I'd very much like to see the rest of the robot mode/beast mode, even if drawn with a tablet

already done. a quick photobashing on a lot of the robot mode. head, most noticably. chest, waist, hands too.

Wed Dec 28, 2005 5:26 pm

thats gonna look pretty sweet man!

Wed Dec 28, 2005 11:32 pm

Has a sort of Legacy of Kain feel to it

Wed Dec 28, 2005 11:52 pm

He's looking good, might I suggest "Beefing" up his legs some? I mean the main point of having BA's legs that thin was to blantantly point out she was female, Since Taurantulas isnt (female) I suggest having his legs be a little bit more to his name sake, it would also give his arms some build.

it's hard to judge his proportions. the original Tarantulas is a little lanky in some parts. I guess he is still too skinny even in the parts I changed. if it wasn't a digibash I could do more. the more I physically alter it the less realistic it will look, as is already the case.
he's also supposed to have 8 legs in beast mode. the 4th pair form wings in robot mode.

Thu Dec 29, 2005 10:03 am

that color scheme does seem to work well, but I also felt the legs and chest were a bit too skinny even for tarantulas, and I understand your point about altering it to much to the point of it looking unrealistic. so that means you'll have to draw it

Thu Dec 29, 2005 12:33 pm

Well...I guess it would be alright to have a 2nd Myth Wars Tarantulas. :wink:

We have 2 Snarls as well, so it shouldn't be a problem.

Not too familiar with the Myth Wars series. Is it Beast Wars integrated with creatures from arrays of myths and legends? Along with legendary waged wars?
Interesting designs though.
