Those things all existed before this book.Blast Cannon wrote:As somebody who hasn't got a clue about what half of you are moaning about, I found the Convenant of Primus to be an interesting history of the civilization of the Transformers. I was fascinated by the concept of the 'Thirteen' and how Cybertron's history has been divided into ages with their own unique features because of what happened during that time.
Please read the Silmarillion again, and then tell me that Tolkien's high fantasy account of creation and the epic struggles that followed have any resemblance to the poorly written narrative that comprises the Covenant.Blast Cannon wrote:For someone who, like me, hasn't really bothered with Transformer literature before, it was a really enjoyable read. It felt and read like the Transformer equivalent to Tolkien's the Silmarillion in terms of scope, grandeur and sheer drama of the storytelling.

Now I'll start posting the pencil art for the Primes, but I'm going to start with something a little unexpected. I've mentioned before that I was originally slated to do all 13, but Takara stepped in and claimed Micronus and Alpha Trion. When I found out the Primes were finally being published, I went back and dug up the rough thumbnail sketches I had going before the characters got canceled, and decided to finish the design drawings. Which, honestly was just a human-esque figure in a circle. The Alpha Trion doodle was pretty much a rough sketch of the G1 animation model, to get the shapes right before drawing the new details.
Here is a close-up of MY UNOFFICIAL version of Micronus, about 2x the size of the actual drawing. I imagined he would have the ability to scale the way the first movie's All Spark was able to fold in on itself.
Tomorrow I'll post the complete drawing of Micronus and Alpha Trion.
It may look ridiculous, but this is how I keep notes on art. But, it's pretty effective for me. I must have sketched out the Alpha Trion and Micronus in early 2010 - on my own, after I learned Takara was going to do them - but the idea stuck with me for almost four years, before I got around to it.
And I forgot that I promised to post the 'notes' for Nexus Prime. Well, there it is...wanting to showcase the alt forms, though they would be alien versions.
Incredibly sloppy and simple, but it works for me.
Alpha Trion and Micronus Pencils - NOT actually in the Covenant of Primus
Again, this is just my personal interpretation of the characters I did NOT get to do - I did nearly all, and it's bugged me that I didn't get to complete the set. I'm sure some completionist collectors can relate.
And this isn't a dig at the Takara designs, they did a wonderful job, and their work is the official versions of these characters.
It took me nearly 4 years to get around to drawing them, let's see how long it takes for me to render them out like the rest...

Leave it to Dead Metal to have the word 'Pronz' in his signature.
