also what program did you use?

I'm using Paint Shop Pro 7.

Working on a second version out of your suggestions

By the way that tan/yellow it's supposed to represent gold, I just didn't managed to get the right color :oops:

thanks, you know, if I get some time, I'll make other sigs so everyone can use them.

Sounds good to me, maybe you can do something with Deceptor when I finish him? But in the meantime, can I use that sig on the other boards? Might make their members interested.

Sure, go ahead Ra, I'm using it at other boards too, but I don't really post too often.

OK, 3 more versions of the Legionair:

That last one kicks ass!
Oh.. and I'll upload that sig somewhere on our own server soon cause PB can be down sometimes.

Damn Isk. Really can't choose which is better. :shock:

And thanks, Pepie. I use Photobucket too, but I heard it's not that reliable.

I think the character would look best in grey and blue.

Why not use the red, the gold, and the blue? Like different ranks within the drones like in Star Wars.

You know, whatever the color scheme Loqi choose for the kitbash, we can "release" repaints of this and other molds in a second wave; it would be a way to get the digi-bashers into the project, plus every toy line has to have its repaints isn't it

?

OH DEAR GOD! Iskander has contracted Hasbronitus Repaintarius! Quickly, someone beat him with a rubber chicken before he contaminats the rest of the populace!!!!

Here's my hasty interpretation of the Legionair; I haven't really filled in any details, but the idea's there...

I keep forgetting that you guys are actually making these. What I meant was in the comic you could have the different colors.

It's a nice concept, but it needs more gold to balance it. As he is now, he looks like a drone version of Skywarp. :wink:

Oh, definitely. I only had about five minutes spare, and most of that was taken up with copying and cropping the pic in the first place. I just wanted to submit the basic colourways idea - Loqi can add his gold flashes wherever he likes.

You'll be pleased to hear that Shuriken is essentially finished (just needs a second coat of paint on the wings and the stickers adding) so I can move onto her 'box art'. Once that's done I'm available to produce art of anyone else's characters - just send me pics of the figures

Photos of Shuriken will follow in the next couple of days hopefully

by **Pepie** » Wed Mar 16, 2005 6:02 am

Awesome !

thats great FH, can't wait to see the finished pics, remember to post them at the Completed Work topic: http://www.tfmaster.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=1828

Finally Josh will have a character to work on

.

by **Ramrider** » Wed Mar 16, 2005 1:00 pm

That's a good point FH made. If anyone has finished models - or something close to - I can also get working on box art... I can only do modelling at home, but as long as I have reference pics, I can do sketching at work.

Something tells me I got too hurry up with my subject

From what he said me the one in the pic is not done, I'll ask him again though.

First sketch of Panzer. Not very detailed except for the head. That was mainly what I was focusing on. Took me forever to make a head I liked. I went through ass loads. Also had a little problem with hand placement. I don't wan to drop the pincer hands on the end of the arms because they make part of the front of the tank. They would get in the way of the rifle, so I'm moving it to the side of the arm.

I would like some opinions on one thing though. Should the head should be a little smaller?
