Hey Shin, nice to see ya again!!!

I'm loving the new Wing Convoy design, especially the Guardian mode. Looking forward to your other redesigns.

And in related news, here is my slow-tortoise coloring wip of Galvy. It's taking some time because I'm playing around with color schemes. Yah, i konw I like paint apps. XD

Gorgeous work there, Acid.

Personally, though, I'd recommend going with the toy-version grey Galvy for this, rather than the 'toon purple. Considering the green detailing currently on the legs is kind of reminiscent of the dark grey on the G1 toy (which in my colour-blind state I sometimes saw as a sort of greenish grey anyway), and the toon's equivalent detail was a much lighter grey, I think the toy version scheme might work better. Plus I think the green and purple are just a tad too much together - a bit more neutral would look much nicer.

Just a thought.

Thanks for the input, Ramrider.

I highly appreciate it since the purple was indeed bugging me. And I think I'll do an alternate toy G1 colors version as well since it may work more effectively...but I gotta figure out what color the beast mode will be. I'm trying to stay away from a purple dragon, which could work (maybe a dark maroon-purple could work better for the scales)...but I guess, I'll have to play around with it come next week.

I'd say stick with the dark green. Like I said, the way it seems to be applied in this form, it'll suit the toy version that much better. If anything, I think you should redo the green in this version to something lighter, like maybe a pale silver-grey or blue (or both, with a bit of blending).

In fact, just as I was typing that, a thought came to me. How about something like this for the outer skin?

shin, while your current drawings look a lot slicker, I worry that they are further from something that could actually transform proportionally. I could believe that your first sketches of him could transform partially because the kibble on his thighs and shoulders was so big. Your new pics look like the kibble just shrinks so that he'll look cooler (which he does).

Damn Acid Wing, I had no idea you were a mind-blowing artist! I love that Galvy!

will scarab revisited and also a idea on the face for silverbolt

Poor him not getting a chance to appear in the series

by **Lord_Loqi** » Tue Jan 23, 2007 2:56 pm

the silverbolt looks alittle to much guyver-ish. Maybe tone that part down. mostly the head. As for the guy at the bottumn, what is that at his hands, I've already had to slap my hand for dirty thoughts twice now. :lol:

black a revisited

by **Blastoderm** » Sat Feb 03, 2007 12:18 am

Interesting WIP evilratbat! Looking forward to more brainstorming ideasI

And thanks for the kind compliment, Devastator.

And since I should be ready to post an update to Galvy soon (last week I wasn't in the greatest of moods), I was wondering, did jimsloth suggest what would Anubis Ravage's beast mode would be? I'm interested in tackling him after Galvatron. Jackal or Jaguar?

bit more on the changes to the face and more including the back leg system for bot mode in which the legs go

also a homage to bba

by **Whelpd** » Tue Feb 06, 2007 6:04 am

Um could you tell me where the horses head goes in robot mode? Does it fold onto her back or does it detatch and become a weapon?

It folds into the robot chest. Thes chest opens up and it folds into there.

That is too sweet, AW!!

I enjoyed that mid-transformation drawing.
At first I thought it was some third mode - like a canon or something.. heh.

by **Blastoderm** » Mon Feb 19, 2007 4:36 pm

Thanks Billy. And about a third cannon mode...now that I think about it...it sounds feasible! Garrgh...ttop tampering with my mind with more stuff to ink with, BBA!

by **TGping** » Wed Nov 07, 2007 6:01 pm

well, this is done. just a redesign of megatron. I didn't like my other so ya, there ya go

by **Lord_Loqi** » Wed Nov 07, 2007 6:27 pm

The body looks like something from the Evangelion series, the head looks like swindle.

Looks sweet though.

by **BillyBadAss** » Thu Nov 08, 2007 4:06 am

Whoa! People are still posting here?

Nice design nonetheless, TG!!
I like the flat design of hydra heads - very stylized..

You should head on over to Beast Wars: FUTURE - I'd like to see your take on the futuristic beasts!!
