Description "... and it is now my time to join the Well.. I know it all too well."

I was watching TFP the other day, and picked up on the fact this one is making a lot of G1 references. So my nerdy little mind played around with the fact that at the end of G1 he actually died (for good, not die and come back like every other show) and my nerdy little mind put together a little story of how i think Prime's gonna end. This is just a guess
-----

This was just an excuse for me to draw something TF related and to paint because I haven't done it in quite some time. (I think it shows)
The background is supposed to be the Well of Allsparks and I put a bunch of fractal patterns together to make it. His optic is all glowy and dashed because its supposed to be ascending to it. Just thought I'd make that clear Oh and if I missed any details on Prime, let me know. I hardly ever draw Prime version Optimus, so I might've missed something.

Program: Photoshop CS5
Time: 6 hours

EDIT: HOLY SCRAP! this has been getting a lot of attention! it's one of my most viewed ever! Thank you guys so much!

I haven't a clue whats going on in this pic... I mean, I don't know who Optimus is and what the well of all sparks is, but in the art aspect of this picture, it's amazing! Incredible job! ^^

It seems sad, well... If he's dying i guess it is sad.... I don't think I'd be bored. You can explain it if you feel like typing that much^^

Your welcome.

It kinda was but not intentionally ^^" was a just a sketch to vent out school frustration, somehow turned into this huge thing

Okay.... get ready for :walloftext:

Optimus is like the leader for his group of autobots (kind of like an army battalion or squad) and in the old show he ACTUALLY died, unlike in the new shows which are kind of famous for knocking him off right away just to bring him back to life somehow.

and the Well of Allsparks is kind of like their version of life after death. Only difference from ours being they all go there, good or bad (i think... shows not TOO descriptive about it)it's always shown in the show as a "mysterious blue light or white light...

That's about as short as all of that could be explained ^^"

Well at least you managed to finish a sketch, I've started like 5, hated them and left them to rot.

Well that's dumb, if he's dead, he's dead, that's it. It's sad, but...

Interesting, and kindof scary like.

That wasn't too long^^

... Just deleted 4 pictures, maybe I should draw on paper or something, do something different.

It is cool... creepy, and strange. They just are there, forever, doing nothing?

Bane96 In reply to Farbeneath [2012-04-26 20:22:02 +0000 UTC]

Yea, try doing anything that comes to mind :3

I suppose... I'm not ENTIRELY sure, it explains in the comics that I can't afford to keep buying to stick with the story lol. But from the show, it would seem it's like a blissfull state or something like dreaming.
