HoS Prime Box Art [04/04/09]

Title should say enough. This artwork is still a work-in-progress, and is being produced as a result of a partnership between myself and the garage kit's creator, Griffith76 (Eric Chan). The finished piece will grace the boxes the kit itself is packaged in. I should say that we have plans to continue this partnership, post-HoS01, with an array of projects (which I personally hope lead to a HoS Shockwave, muwahaha).

Anywho, enjoy the look.

You can also check out the first prototypes, a classic color scheme as well as a Nemesis variant, painted up beautifully by Sabsabby (Sabrina Ng), on her Flickr account - ( http://www.flickr.com/photos/28208106@N06/ ). It was auctioned off on Ebay for $600+. Not bad for a fan project, eh?

It's very good, I used to do a lot of grayscale sketching. This is, of course, blatant advertising! Why not advertise it a bit more by posting it here?

By the way, I saw the plaques on SabSabby's blog. Did you do the graphics for that too? It looks great.

Why thank you, but no! :> The artwork on the plaques is actually made from the renders in Griffith76's modelling program. Pretty simple, and in effect, a perfect representation. :)

Well, it actually is. Griffith76 is producing a custom-made resin garage kit. The art that I'm doing is actually the box art for his kits.

I believe I included a lot of links detailing the figure in my inital post. Check 'em out!

Hey guys..

I am from Singapore, and I really love Altitron's aka Alty's stuff. I am sure many of us are impressed by him too!

In fact, having him involved with the HOS box-art with two of TF.SG forum members (griffith and sabrina) has made the admin team decided to interview him!

We have front paged his interview btw! :)

Seibertron.com member and Transtopian Altitron had the opportunity of being part of a custom H.O.S. Optimus Prime figure project. His part was to create the boxart for this amazing custom toy project.
Please just enjoy this truly stunning piece of art:

It looks kick-a..! I saw on the site that presale has been discontinued for this item though. Any chance on this seeing a wider release? I'm sure a lot of seibertronians are going gahgah over this figure.

I loved the comic book and I love the concept art and the model. I can't wait for the mass produced version.
