just working on a black a Rack at the moment my also do something on cyrotek as my special is dragons in general. i remember a dragon from a different series altogether which mades the prefect transformation.

I played a little with the Transformation as i used ra88 as a reference to the character will post pics later but hes idea on the tranformation goes a little stange between modes as i noticed . as i am sure some how a life jacket appears on here.

with my take on this i was thinking lift up the back so the legs come forward and when transforming the her legs split into 2 like bm version with one set holding up the back piece so that its smooth on the transformation in general. also the face mask , i had 2 ideals first is a twist head so theres 2 faces bot mode and mutant mode bit like the primal concept from beast wars so it twists round and lifts up

Ra88 wrote:Well, here are two WIPs for Blackarachnia. I have no idea which one to use, though. The first is more Transmetal like Tarantulas and's based on Season 1 and Transmetal 2 BA, but the second one is more based on the BM BA. Of course I swapped the heads for them.

I personally like version 1 the best though, while that's the one I spent the less time on (it's actually version 2, but I had it scanned first ). Well, what do you guys think?

Oh yeah, one more thing: I hate, HATE drawing women! They're even worse then humanoids! Geez!

my version

used ra88's as a guide

Love the way you executd the dreads - it looks excellent!

And.. did you take a picture of your drawing?
Alas - I have no scanner myself..

So this is what it sounds like - when doves cry.. :cry:

the vest was the mid-section on the spider, where the spider legs connect.
looks nice. her pelvis section looks too long though. she's also got kind of a bald spot in the middle of her head.
I wish I could draw, but I can never get anything to look the way I want it to.

updates on work in progess ,

Ok... First off the URL code isn't required. >_>;; Second I'm curious why it didn't work... Maybe try removing the quote marks?

*Tries it herself.*

EDIT: Yep... I was right.

And, third off... Great work so far.

oooh... a drider... right?

Working on Gargoyle Slag Beast Mode

Still trying to figure out the transformation thus why the beast body is still sketchy..
I was thinking of Big Convoy's transformation or maybe even Cybertron Defense HotShot..

Hell - I should take a look at the original G1 Slag and look at his transformation..!!

Comments/Suggestions?

Bad ass!

by **Primus_feather** » Sat Feb 11, 2006 7:50 pm

Still no scanner I see, but words better photos. Slag looks bad ass! how ur your "Girls" coming alone?

As far as transformation, looking at him ( I dont know why) I see a modified TM Cheetor. I mena why wast the weopon of a head, have his arms fold out of his bac sharing the should joint and have his fists be IN the head or BE the head (split down the middle) have his beast arms wither hang off his shoulders or fold behind him have his beast cheast and bot cheast be the same 9or have his beast chest change to reflect his G1 bot chest, legs up to you, his tail , have his back spike and tail link to become a staff or a set of weapons.

Another one of my fav Dinobots redesigned by the talented BBA.

Even without the scanner, you still maintain that animation-like style I admire. So far, Big Convoy's tranformation scheme would seem more feasible considering how large Slag's head is. Cyb. Defense Hot Shot's can also work as well..but I guess you can experiment with sketches to see how his bot mode looks.

bba- can't wait for the final product!

by **ShinMusashi44** » Tue Feb 14, 2006 3:56 am

I took a little break and i thought i would do a sketch of that Blackarachnia character. I kinda combind both verions of the character. I'll finsh up the drawing sometime down the road.

by **jimsloth** » Wed Feb 15, 2006 6:53 pm

wow, I'm likeing that alot. It reminds me of Benitez's work on Weapon Zero. One of my all time favorite books until they tryed to wrap the story up in one issue.

by **ShinMusashi44** » Wed Feb 15, 2006 11:03 pm

I had some extra time at work today, and sketched out an idea i've had for a long time. A jet mode for Fenrir. I added some color to the second pic to make him look like starscream. But those colors aren't the real colors i'll use.

by **Ra88** » Thu Feb 16, 2006 2:52 am

Yes! I KNEW Fenrir was a reborn Starscream! As did everyone in this thread, but that's besides the point. :wink:

Didn't expect my design to be used by two artists.

Hmmmn, now that I think of it, I really need to finish that Rampage... :oops:

Love the mix on the two there shinmusashi ,

Good to see you back, shin!
Nice - utilizing the transformation of Fenrir's to its extent!
I like the perspective you used on BA's hand - Good looking start on the design, too!

I picked up a scanner today - so here's some pics:

Slag WIP

Slag (initial design)

Finished inking Sludge beast-mode - now onto bot-mode!
:cry:

I cry because I hate inking..

Slag has so many horns... I can't find a single weak point to attack him O_o xDD

That Blackarachnia looks sexy *?*

And that Fenrir, well, when I first saw his design I thought he was a dark blue wolf with a gray / white robot inside, but now that I see he has the same colors of G1 Starscream...

I don't know, it doesn't end to convice me.

Well well, folks, I've drawn a lot this noght, and I've come to pull from my head a design that I wanted for another character, for the moments I won't reveal its name, but I'm sure some of you'll recognize who's it by some detail (A big detail xD), anyway, here's the new sketch:

Any comments? ^_^

PD: When my older bro saw me drawing this he asked "What the hell's that spawn??" then I told him "It's a transformer" and then he replied "Holy c**p, you sure were looking to draw something ugly..." xDDDD

by **Dark_Fool** » Mon Feb 20, 2006 4:08 am

hmmm that eye in the centre of the forhead makes me think shockwave, not to mention the antenae. Despite that I get a Nemesis Prime feel from it. What is it? a Chimera? Although that's a Lion, Goat, Serpent blend...
