Nice shodow and color work! Did you do the original line work free hand and scaned in, or on the computer? All in all, pretty sweet. I like the little details, like the knee guns. Keep up the good work!

Drew it by hand, ink and then scan. thanks for the complement.

I was never all that sure about this particular design, but you've captured it well here, none-the-less. Your colours are accurate, and the shading really brings the hues to life with a believable sense of depth. The linework is sharp and well honed, keeping the picture focussed. Proportion is well maintained throughout, with good attention to detail. The chose of pose is befitting, portraying a confidence of movement. I particualrly like the expression you've given him; very suiting of the character. This is good work, and I look forward to seeing what you come up with next. Keep it up!

Thanks for all thie input I'm glad you like this piece. yah the toy design was kind of iffy. his head on the toy is a bit too big and his snarl face is not to appealing. so I closed his mouth and use some other characteristics of the other leaders to give him a more positive sure look of himself.
Again thanks for the comment, hope you comment again. Pease ease:

Yeah, I've only seen the actual toy the one time (in a little Japanese hobby store I happened across), and I can't say I was all that impressed with what I saw; the colours are so garrish, and the expression comical. Good work on cooly understating both in your illustrated depiction. You've also managed to relax the figure's compressed 'boxy' construction into a more aethletic physique, exemplified by the flowing pose. I do enjoy your work, so I'll definitely keep the comments coming. Keep up the good work. Rock!

Hmm, I tried posting a responce just as DA went into system maintainance, so it doesn't appear to have worked... If you end up with two posts in responce then, you'll understand why...

Okay, now where was I? Yeah, I remember seeing the toy of this character once a while back (found it in a Japanese hobby store I happened across), and I didn't think all that much of it, I have to say. I was rather put off by the garrish colours and ridiculous facial expression, but you've managed to understate both these undesirable facets with your particular depiction. You've also managed to relax the compressed 'boxy' form of the figure, opening it out to a more employable athletic physique. The effortless grace of the pose further gratifies this, as the mechanical despot cooly glides through the air. There's often something I find to be a little silly about the Japaese Transformer designs, but this one seems a little more aesthetically justified with the way you have interpreted it here. Good work. And I will indeed be back to comment again; your work seems to be improving with each and every post, so keep it up!

Oh, and I forgot to mention last time that you've apparently left a stray pixel to the left-hand side of the background - just thought I'd point that out for you. Cheers.

Aww you caught that little bugger. I was wondering when someone would see it.
and comment. any who, thanks for the comments agian, I'ts nice to have some comunication with others here. still if you are a TF collecter I highly recomend this figure. It looks stiff but has pretty good articulation and his alt mode are cool to. I'm starting to think if I'm going to do transmetel megatron (the Dragon). probebly no time soon but hopefully I will with in the next two to three months or so.

Untill next deviation or comment, bye

On that advice, maybe I'll head out and blow some cash... Have a good one.
