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!

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

CUTE!?

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

I'm kidding. Thanks for the comments.

Perhaps it's the big ears...

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

Very Nice!!

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

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

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.

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."

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.

Posted: **Thu Sep 20, 2007 6:22 pm**

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.
