Description
DECEPTICONS RISE.I've wanted to work in this style for a while. I've dabbled in the past but never completed anything in this style. So here you go.
Did the lines in Illustrator, but I only used those as a guide while working in PS. Pretty happy with the result. Worked on this after the day job this week. Used a ton of layers, too! (I had the lines finished all the way back in February, just now got to the goods).
Autobot version to come soon. I have a straight on view line drawing of MP Optimus Prime (Illustrator) I did for a college project saved on a drive somewhere. It's perfect for this project - I just need to dig that up to use as a starting point.
Let me know what you think. Definitely something different for me, I'll be interested to see how it goes over. Thanks, and stay tuned for more!

Reminds me of Trev Hutch's All Hail Megatron covers, and the World War Revolt posters so much, though the artstile and the shading is completely unique.
the 3 jets highlight the word "Rise", i guess that was your original motive too, though i would have gone with the idea of the jets pointing towards different angles (of course, that might have covered the letters too much, taking away the whole meaning of "Rising UP").
Shockwave being on the picture differentiates this from the AHM comics, wich means your original idea was to point towards the Decepticons, as the whole idealism and the army. (sry, i just like to analyze too much 
Nonetheless, an amaizing piece. Congratulations!

Thanks for the kind words and insights! I appreciate it! Interestingly enough, I did try the jets at an angle, flying away from Starscream, but I just didn't like the look of it so I kept all three flying straight up. Thanks again!

Nice poster feel. Good layout, and it's easy to imagine it pasted on a wall somewhere.

NICE! I love this style, so I'm stoked that you're trying it out. Hope you do more! You've got the Touch. *Shot*
My only crit is that it's a little bland values-wise. Perhaps a darker Soundie and Shockers to make Megs stand out more and give a broader value range? Just a thought.

Glad you dig it. Only checked it out on my desktop, didn't proof it on my Mac or iPad, so not sure how the colors look on other screens. Should print fine, though
