Hey all. I'm in the process of getting several Transformers tattoos. I wanted to see if anyone knew of art for a couple of characters. I'm keeping the tattoos G1 centric. I already own the Dreamwave More than Meets the Eye guidebooks, have perused Botch the Crab's database of box art, and mined the Transformers Legends mobile game. The latter has provided several ideas. Please don't suggest any of those, I'm looking for more art that I'm unaware of. Preferably full-body so that it can be edited to fit as needed.
The bots and cons I'm still looking for interesting, new pictures of are:
Afterburner (Technobots)
Nosecone (Technobots)
Horribull (Headmaster)
Repugnus (Monsterbot)
Hound
Quickmix (Targetmaster)
I'm 99% sold on getting a picture of Hound I found on deviantart, but the bulk and pose may not mesh with what I already have planned. I am most interested in finding pictures of Repugnus. I had spoken with Dan Khanna in the past regarding commissions. Unfortunately I got very busy in my personal life, and my tattoos fell by the wayside. I am now on a timeline to get my work finished, as all existing Tattoos need to be documented by my employer next month. Commissions are unfortunately no longer an option.
Scans or image files are preferable. If it's something like comic art, and you have qualms about posting it, just give me the issue series and number, so I could find it in the back issue bins at my friendly local comic store.
Thanks in advance for any help I receive. Pictures will be posted.

Cool idea! Have you considered looking at some fanart too, either deviantArt or Tumblr?
TFWiki pages for the characters, the recent Legacy book are the only other sources I can think of at the moment.
Unless you want to do what a friend of mine did, and get a toy (check out the Seibertron.com galleries for reference) and have an artist's rendition of it! He got an Alternators Prowl, and it looks fantastic.

I have been looking at deviantArt, there's just so much there I'm sure I missed something. As far as bringing the toys, that is always a possibility, as characters were chosen primarily from toys I had as a child and still have to this day, hence the assortment of random characters with little to no artistic renderings.
