A while ago inigirl was putting together a fanfic about Transformers during WWII http://seibertron.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=15748&sid=
Well I drew a couple ideas back then and I liked the idea so much it stayed in my head (like when you go swimming and water gets in your ear. No matter how much you shake your head you can feel it sloshing around the ol' auditory canal)
Anyway here a couple possible pages sketched out for the beginning.
Page 1

Page 2

Page 3

Page 4

Page 5

Haha, great!
It's good to see the cocky leader get what's coming to him.
Puts me in mind of Starscream a bit...

Did you ever read my prequel story I wrote for her? This has stuck in my head too.

Not yet. I'm going to check it out now. I'll get back to you in a bit.

I have at least 6 more pages of this outlined but no characters fleshed out. So I need to review that thread.

She had actually made like 3 threads with differant topics. I asked her why she didn't combine them since there was varying interest in it but I don't know if she ever responded.

These forums are really getting popular. Had to dig way back to find the thread with the early sketches and character bios.

You're right about the separate threads. Could you send me a link to your story?

Page 3 added.

Not sure if it's just my montor or what, but cant make out the lettering well on the 3rd page. >.<

by **Charger426** » Wed Sep 26, 2007 2:21 pm

It's a little light. I'll fix it up. Sorry. :oops:

I'm surprised I never clicked this. Great stuff.
As Dead Metal would say, THAT IS THE SEX!

by **Charger426** » Wed Sep 26, 2007 7:13 pm

Thanks. I updated with page 4. Not sure I'll continue due to the fact that this is mostly sketched. Does anybody think it matters. Should I take my time and refine and ink? Progress would be slower. Just my thoughts.
This page is now my least fav. Not laid out well. Probably because it was mostly exposition that needed to be addressed.

Page 5...Enter the Autobots.

Yep! this is very true. I'm just roughing out a possible beginning (I'd rather do it like this than write it out.)
Heck, none these guys have names or personalities at this point
(except for the little 'con.) All blank slates.
Feel free to contribute.

Hey, sorry if you feel invaded for me taking this liberty, but I tested coloring on your comic. I think my style fits good with yours.
But, I've got a big ego, so yeah. I thought you'd wanna see.
I can clean it up and stuff, but here's a rough.

by **Night Raid** » Sun Oct 07, 2007 11:40 pm

This shows promise for all kinds of awesomeness. *squeal of joy* I can't wait to see Sergeant Brown and/or StarFreedom!

by **Charger426** » Mon Oct 08, 2007 10:56 am

Thanks for the feedback. It's cool to get it!

Thanks for the colors!! I get a kick outta seeing my stuff in color.

by **Charger426** » Thu Oct 25, 2007 10:42 pm

Here are some more colors with much thanks to evilratbat. He made my crummy pencils look good. I just fine tuned the lettering and borders with my mediocre photoshop skills (Does anybody know of a balloon and lettering tutorial?)
