OMP. Look. I got to color this. Thank you, thank you, thank you :iconguidoguidi:. I have loved this picture from the first time I saw it. And the fact that Guido let me practice on it is such a huge deal to me. He is one of my main top Art Gods. I am so, so grateful.

As always, I wish I'd done better.

But the things I did that I liked are:
--Ye olde complimentary colored pencil juicy bits trick.
I actually put bright green on the tops of all the bits of glop on him. It was almost a joke at first, but then I did the :wow: face, and went to town with it.
--I tried to keep the color pallete dull. It got brighter toward the end, simply to keep everything from mudding together. But I did start out with much different colors than the usual. Which is always fun.

Markers and colored pencil on textured taupe-colored cardstock.

Colors by Me.

Note -- I put a less saturated version into scraps, because while it's closer to the original, it looks dead on a monitor. You decide.

The sad thing is, I don't know! I haven't had the chance to read this particular comic book yet! (Infestation II)
Guido did put in a lot of delicious detail. :D

The lights and gradients in this are GORGEOUS, hon! 8D A marvelous addition to the piece Guido put together. Poor Prime took a big fall, it seems like. Megs is very likely chortling at him from afar.

D'awww, sleeping Prime. :meow: So precious. We'd best be quiet so he can get his recharge in peace. <3

'Twas my pleasure, Bigbot. :> Keep on truckin', and I'll anticipate further works and words from you!

Steam-powered zombie robots FTW!! :#1:

Poor thing, he looks Utterly Defeated but being Prime he shall Not Give Up :winner:

The subdued colour scheme really suits him, and is that a little crowd I spy I see up in the top left?

Did you know that yes, there are toys for the HoS series? The Seekers (though they be on the Wrong Team) are glorious 8-)

I think this is offline-for-umpty-million-years-Prime from G1, and those dudes on the hill are going to revive him. (Haven't read it yet, but I assume.)
What a wake-up call: "Hey Mr. Prime, haul your aft outta bed -- we need you to fight Cthulhu...!"

I have seen the HoS toys. I lust after the Shockwave one SO BAD IT'S NOT EVEN FUNNY. Like trying to justify the pricetag lust. :no: .
