Here's my idea of Bruticus loose in the city...

C & C's welcome of course.

marvelous

cant say Im overwhelmed with his right arm.. looks a little off.. needs more bulk.
Other than that, I think this pic represents what bruticus should've done more.. trashing complete cityblocks.
Stunning work. Gonna color it?

Thanks guys. Pepie, do you think it needs to be stockier in shape or does it need more kibble & parts?

I did fatten up the arm a bit since you pointed that out.

i agree here with pepie... i would do a lil of both.. arm seems way tooo small for the hand.. even with the perspective still seems too small.. but other than that i love it.. personally i would like to see bruticus and Devastator beating the crap outta each other...

Wait a sec...do you guys mean Bruticus's right arm or the arm on the right of the picture (Bruticus's left arm)? The helicopter or the shuttle?! :lol:

Now, that I think about it, both arms probably need tweaking, heh.

You got that right.
It's not the most perfect piece I've seen in terms of geometrics, but it's nice nonetheless.

by **gawd6sic6** » Mon Mar 06, 2006 6:35 pm

looking at it more.. i agree both arms need some mass....

Ok, check out the image now...fixed the arms.

by **Blastoderm** » Tue Mar 07, 2006 12:29 am

Awesome work JAF!

Looks fine now, overall I love the sense of motion and action of the composition.

True enough. Here's the old version.

by **TM JAF** » Tue Mar 07, 2006 8:06 am

The other bots are supposed to be the Protectobots caught off guard, dealing with crumbling buildings, traffic, and pedestrians.

You can see Hotspot & Blades trying to shoot something ar Bruticus on the rooftop, but the building is starting to crumble from Bruticus stomping around. Then there's Streetwise almost getting hit by an oncoming car (which I'll probably tweak to make more dynamic), Groove running away, trying not to get stepped on, and Firstaid inside the smoke (perhaps trying to rescue people who's cars are getting crushed or who cant see because of the dust).

by **Pepie** » Tue Mar 07, 2006 10:50 am

much better :shock:

Perspective looks lot more in place now. Love it

by **TM JAF** » Tue Mar 07, 2006 11:15 am

Great! Glad you like it Pepie, and many thanks to all for the great input.

by **Lord_Loqi** » Tue Mar 07, 2006 12:38 pm

Great work on the lines and perspective too. The outlines on closer objects are thicker like they should be so they stand out.

They need to fix a combiner limb to include that elbow if you ask me

by **tintin** » Tue Mar 07, 2006 6:04 pm

Sweet...

Can't wait to see it all done. ^^ Gonna ink and color it?

by **TM JAF** » Tue Mar 07, 2006 6:29 pm

Yes, I plan to ink/color this one. I'll post progress pics at inked stage and then the final colored one. Wish me luck... :lol:

by **tintin** » Tue Mar 07, 2006 7:18 pm

I wish you... Wishes.

Lol! xD *Doesn't believe in luck.* :3 "Luck is only what you make of life's situations." ^^

Though I do wish you good thoughts.

Here's the first pass at coloring:

I'm personally noticing the texturing on Bruticus as the #1 issue, not enough clear definition. So aside from that, please fire away with the critiques!

looks good but isn`t Hotspot babyblue and not aqua? :?:

by **TM JAF** » Tue Mar 21, 2006 3:49 pm

Heh, I'm not sure, I just went by pics in a book since I never had these guys.

There is glow from the blue beam that may affect what you see.

by **BillyBadAss** » Tue Mar 21, 2006 4:24 pm

Nice drawing - love that broken building behind Brut.

The coloring is cool, too!

You should do more artwork!!

BTW - how fun was it inking it?
I HATE INKING!!
