I've begun work on a submission, most likely to IDW. This is a panel where Shockwave has just arrived and blasted a Dinobot (thank you, KoH4711). I try to bring some originality in my approach to drawing these awesome dudes. Hope you like!

i really like your style and would love to see more!

[Ramrider]

That's some good pencils there... is it just me, though, or does Shockwave seem somehow... cute..?

[laforce]

CUTE!?

Get yer eyes checked, boy! That's a smoking gun on the end of that arm!

I'm kidding. Thanks for the comments.

[Ramrider]

That's cotton wool.

Perhaps it's the big ears...

Even if it does look a little bit cute, it's still great!

[Great Atlas]

Very Nice!!

[Burn]

It's definitely the ears giving the "cute" look.

And yet I do like how this is headed. Can't wait to see more!

[laforce]

You guys are great. Thanks for the encouraging words. I truly hope to be drawing the comics you're all probably collecting, some day soon.

I'll try to post more of this stuff as it progresses. Meanwhile, gotta go resaerch faces and anatomy for Sludge and Slag.

[Auto Bot]

Isn't he smoking pot thru the armpit???

[laforce]

well no.

That would be "illogical."

[Justicity]

well no.

That would be "illogical."

Yes, but it'd be funny ^^



As others have said, thats some really great work, and I can't wait to see the finished result. It would be great If in a few years I could look at a comic & say "Hey... you see that Shockwave on the cover? I saw that when it was nothing but pencil marks on paper, scanned in & placed on a forum."

[Dead Metal]

Cool!
You actuly work for IDW, a comic publisher!
That looks real nice!

[Charger426]

I love that rounded edges look he has.

[laforce]

thanks again guys. Im going to keep working on this when time petmits and I'll try to post more to this thread. To clarify one thing: NO. I do not presently work for IDW. However, that IS the goal.

[LicoriceSnoCone]

Those are really good, smoking gun or not he looks quite cuddly

[Fred2012]

nice!

[Auto Bot]

You're style of artwork fits perfectly for comics.

your not the only one good luck on the piece

[laforce]

It's cool. I can share!

Thanks for looking.

[Auto Bot]

Are we gonna see the complete drawing soon?

[laforce]

Auto Bot, I will definitely post the completed artwork soon.

Man if only someone wanted to color it.

[Justicity]

Yo.
I'll give it a go if no one else will. I'm ok, but not as good as other people here so if anyone else wants a go feel free!
But yea, If no one else volunteers I'll have a go.

[laforce]

cool! I'll post that finished art in a day or so.Thanks!

[Justicity]

cool! I'll post that finished art in a day or so.Thanks!

No problem. I've got quite a few other projects going on at the moment, I'm helping Grim with the secret project, I'm doing the art behind Noise Makers Beast Machines sequel, I'm trying to start another webcomic since my first failed, I've got college work & such, so not only is there no rush for you to get the work to me, I'm probably not going to be able to do the work on it extremely quickly, hope that''s ok? I'll have to take my time for it to look it's best. I hope I can do it justice.
