Seibertron.com Creative Roundup - March, 2017

Finally!

Do you know how hard it is to get your artwork in front of discerning fans? It's bloody hard. Round-ups like these should be a perfect tool to help in that endeavour, but it seems that whoever puts them together can't even give a cursory glance to your own art section.

The site has been undergoing massive updates, which is why this is so separated from the last roundup.

The roundup was also compiled by a freshman newstaff member. I'm sure Burn or Va'al will check in on things and make sure your art was not missed.

Maybe they did not see your work at the time?

Making a tantrum is probably not going to make them want to go out of their way to find your stuff.

Want to know the process of putting together these round-ups?

It includes going through each sub-forum of the Transtopia area, looking for posts made since the last round-up was posted.

We missed months. For that, we're sorry.

Va'al normally compiles these, when he's busy he'll normally ask me to do it. In this particular instance we passed it onto someone else.

Anyone who has compiled one of these knows how much of a mammoth task it is. It's not something you can do in one sitting, it takes HOURS to prepare. Hours of UNPAID VOLUNTARY TIME.

Vern, we've known each other for years, from our days on TAAU, I know first hand how much work you've put into your work, I've seen how far you've come over the years and I will tell you now that missing your work was accidental. We decided to round-up only from February, and even then we managed to miss you, and for that I do apologise to you and to anyone else we may have missed.

We dropped the ball, plain and simple.

I spent many hours this week doing this roundup. I started Wednesday morning and it took me until Saturday afternoon to have it finished. Please keep in mind that I have a life outside of Seibetron and am a regular person just like you and I don't appreciate being snapped at.

I am also new to news staff and I took this endeavor upon myself because others could not. Our site has been undergoing many updates and we have also been spending many hours working to make this site a great place to be.

I myself write some short stories about Transformers so I can understand the work that does go into it. That is part of the reason that I chose to help out this month even though it was a daunting task to look through everything.

All of this being said if you did make something in the month of February and it got missed all you needed to do was ask and post the link.

So as not to inflame the situation any further, I'll thank Burn for his comments and move along. The two of us do indeed go quite a long way back.

Why would you expect anyone with a perfect hatred for G1 to add your work into their creative round up?

I don't think anyone here hates G1. G1 is awesome. I occasionally go back and watch some of my favorite episodes because they have got Ratchet, Wheeljack and all of the Dinobots. Can't forget Soundwave and his cassettes either.

To add to this I don't hate G1 either but in the last 2-3 years I've been getting G1 burned out by how it's the only thing that has a lot of effort these days sacrificing quality of the modern lines like Prime and Rid.

Only the movies get as much attention and even then they have some downs like most of AOE and the repaints of said toys for TLK.

So how about all that work that we managed to NOT miss hey? Bloody awesome work or what?
