Artist's Comments

I drew this for my good friend [link]
who is about 17 different kinds of Awesome, despite looking odd in the drawing due to the fact that I kant seme 2 draww peepl even if my life depends on it. I used to be able to, back in the glorious art student days, but I've forgotten how, or something. Robots, being all made of block shapes, are easier. I just wish I could get the amount of expression into a Bot that some of y'all do... I tried. I'm beginning to think that the reason Prime wears a faceplate is to let him hide his thoughts and feelings from everyone... Faceplate = Little Possible Expression. But I won't blame it on the faceplate - I know some of you guys can make an expressive Prime, too. I must learn...

I'm so glad that being on the CiD forums tends to kick-start any creative juices I may have, because I haven't really buckled down and Drawn anything much in years. I'm getting better, with this practice... :)

Prime sez: Go Check Out Comics In Disguise, a great G1 webcomic, and the associated Forums!

And I don't own Optimus Prime.
I just pretend to be him all the time. :)
(I'd like to think that no one owns him, but... :( Hasbro technically does.)

Hey! That looks great! (and he has a big amount of expression, he's just dignified :) )

And we were laughing at the stars
While our feet clung tight to the ground.
So pleased with ourselves
For using so many verbs and nouns.

Um... only cuz I had the toy out and posed to study and copy. Behold, The Toy-Accuracy! It was hard to make him look like a 30-foot living robot, and not a 1-foot plastic figure... I tweaked a few things to that end.

But thanks for thinking I can draw, Chro. *does the "Yippee, I have them all fooled!" dance* I'll keep practicing. I thought of trying to full-bore color this, but I just didn't think it would make it better, and might make it worse.

Indeed I DO love it. And you should be somewhat less hard on yourself about your drawing mojo. You have drawn a picture of me that actually looks pretty much like me. Also, Prime looks TOTALLY as awesome as he is. I luffs dis pichure.

You can draw from 3-D figures? Wow...I can't do that for slag. I have to have something flat to draw...*cough* I mean copy..:(

About the coloring, now that you have the lineart saved you can just print off multiple copies of it to try and color. That's what I told Hound to do with the Crotchtastic Prime picture she drew for you. ;) If you really screw up, you still have the original picture saved to try again.

Wowee, you sure can draw! And I think you did a good job with the human figure. If you want to get better, just practice! (Not that I've been doing much lately lol).

He does have expression, but it has to be conveyed in head and body position. Not always the easiest.

Let me know if you want a more detailed critique :D
