New G1 Art takes a cool spin to the original line

Ha! Transformers Animated doesn't look so bad now, does it?

Oh look.... it's the designs for the next cartoon series

Those might could fit in if they were to make a "Robot Heroes" cartoon.

I used to be artistic... I dunno what happened to me =(



.

From the creators of SD Gundam comes........


SD TransFormers!


Just pray to God they don't make a CGI-Garbage Animated Show Out of it!


From Bandai!

TF:A Bulkhead finally goes public with his art!

Not my favorite artistic take on the characters but I'd so buy those if they were on canvas throw pillows or something of that nature.

Or a series of all Starscream, Thundercracker and Skywarp to hang all together on the wall would look nice. Any group of three really.

Lets all pray that hasbro doesnt see these. You know if they do this will be the next cartoon. Not bad for artwork but i shudder to think of these as a cartoon.

I think it looks cool .

Technically weird wrote:Samurai Jack? Shwiiiiiiiiing?

That's exactly what I was thinking! So where are the alt. modes?
Now that we have had a taste of TFA style (and since it's on its way out the door) why not give Samuari Prime a shot at kicking Megatron, or Akus', butt? Hell we've had over 8 different animated Batman stylings in less than a decade, we might as well mix things up with the Transformers too. I cant wait to see more of this guys drawings.

Offbeat but nifty. I'd like to see how he would do some other characters.

Wicked!

I don't know if I should laugh or cry.

It looks like a kid's collage.

It looks juvenile, but incredibly well-executed. I'm assuming these are on canvas, with paint? The dynamism of the images is excellent. These would make perfect decor for a collector's den, if I had the money to create such a space.

I think they're wonderful...major kudos to the artist...

I followed the link to his site and almost hurt myself laughing after seeing his take on the Masters of the Universe characters. This guy is amazingly talented. I think ponycorn has the right idea. A set of Seeker prints would be absolutely awsome and I, for one, would have no qualms about framing a set and hanging them in the living room. I wish I had the money to throw this guys direction to have something commissioned. If you haven't yet jumped over to his site, follow the link. It's totally worth the extra time!

...and I'm still voting for this style as TFA's replacement.

What does this artist have against thighs?!?!

Interesting idea, but not particularly skillful.

bleah

Horrible Artwork. I hate the artwork in the animated series, all most as much as I hate the story line. Way to ruin g1 characters. No i am not just another g1 purist, although its my favorite.

Geez what's with the meladrama? He didn't "ruin" anything...It's just fan-art done in a different style...Nothing wrong with taking different interpretations...It's not like they're going to go back and redo the entire G1 series in this artwork...

You don't have to like it but the narrowmindedness of your post makes you sound EXACTLY like a "another G1 purist"...

Your right that the guy who drew these things didn't ruin G1 but he's not exactly helping it either because this art just plain sucks.

The sad truth is that this "Samuri Jack" style doesn't work well with Transformers, even the art on TF:A only works in Animation it doesn't work as still art.

CAN'T SAY I'M IMPRESSED. its better than i could do, but that doesn't say much. cudo's to the artist for trying, but its not my cup of tea.

Thank You, Thank You, Thank You! THAT (more or less, mostly the last part) is how it should be approached, folks. Not with "This stuff Sucks!" or "This guy just raped my childhood!" EVERYBODY is going to see something different in someone elses artwork. You, personally, may not like it but that is your own point of view and that much you are entitled to. This is what boggles my mind about art critics. Who the hell are they to say someones bad when all anyone can critique is technical points and art is about feeling and emotion and individual style.
This guys style of art in no way takes anything away from the G1 characters, it is just one mans different point of view and he has chosen to share that P.O.V. with any and all that wish to view it, just like those folks that have chosen to do TF Mosaics. Those who condemn the artist should be given our pity for they are the ones too closed-minded to see the beauty of this world outside of their own dark little boxes.

Looks like something on CN.
