Description YAY!!! My first digital painting from scratch. Ok, now I can say I've done it, so I don't have to do it ever again. THIS TOOK TOO LONG!!!! Though I must say I like the results.

The return of Optimus Prime was a big deal when I was a kid, and when they announced it I was like "HALLELUJAH!!! HE'S BACK!!!" And when they bring him back in the hate plague 2 parter (28 days latter anyone?) they even gave him a half assed "You've got the Touch" moment with the Matrix, and yeah, half assery and all, I was LOVING it!!! Then after that they did the shitty Headmaster mini series and canceled TF completelly (at least in the States )

I've been meaning to do this piece for the longest time, but never actually thought on how to execute it. I was always fascinated with the parallels between Christ and Prime. I won't get into them, but TF fans know what they are, and there are ALLOT! I always wanted to do a piece like the famous depictions of old of resurrected Jesus, having the Matrix of Leadership as the Sacred Heart and even show his Stigmata from his life ending battle with Megatron (can you tell I was raised Catholic? ). I didn't battle damage him too much because as the Christ depictions show, he was nice and clean and beautiful, but only showed his death wounds, which in Prime's case his weakness is apparently his side and his grill

My wife already warned me that this piece will take over the internet like an outbreak of herpes in the Jersey Shore, and against my better judgment, I won't put a watermark on the piece for respect of those fans of mine who will really dig this. What I do ask for is that you remember little 'ol me when viraling the shit out of this and give me some credit or at least a link.

Thanks... and Prime bless you.

I like it. It's very nice (: and I must say that Prime and Jesus are kind of alike if you really think about it XD. I'm Morman, but it's close to being Catholic because u believe in Jesus Christ, so I suspect they are similar religions ... Dunno fer sure. But anyway, nice job there, bra ^^!

Muchas gracias chula!!! Me alegra que te guste tanto.

Si, no le puse marca por que entiendo que impide que se pueda apreciar el arte a plenitud. Hasta ahora no he tenido muchos problemas en ese departamento, pero tambien no es como si supiera si lo han hecho

Y seguro que puedes ponerlo en tu FB, nunca le digo que no a publicidad gratis!

Y no te preocupes, tu ingles esta bien. Y si, tambien hablo espaΓ±ol.

Gracias!!!

ok, lo postere en el FB, y creeme que me encanto ^^.
si hay gente que se roba tus cosas y se da el credito por cosas que no hace, ha me ha pasado, y es que otros mienbros de DA se dan cuenta y me avisaron, porque ... degraciadamente tenia mis marcas de agua.
ok, gracias un saludote y ciao ^^

I respect Jesus Christ and Optimus Prime. It's a miracle you didn't get yelled at or get stoned to death. Don't get me wrong, I like the picture. Just be careful. If Jesus was alive, he'd like it.

You know what? you're right! I expected a whole lot of backlash because of this pic, but I'm as surprised as you to see it be so well received. I guess it's because you have so little characters now a days, especially in children cartoons tha take any inspiration from religion as a whole, and having a piece that focuses on the similarities and comparisons of these 2 figures probably hit a happy nerve with allot of people. I for one am glad so many remember Optimus so fondly and get what I'm talking about. I think that was one of the biggest gripes people had with the way Michael Bay approached the character. He turned him from an honorable, brave, peace loving leader into a homicidal, ultra-violent, cold douchebag who detached himself from everything Prime represented in his original incarnations. Optimus's death in the original animated movie was shocking and had ramifications that even made Hasbro change the screenplay on their following GI-Joe animated movie and prevented Duke from being killed by Serpentor like it was originally intended and just put him in a coma which he pulls through from in the end. Bay's take on Optimus's death was a mockery and a weak plot device used to push a movie that made no sense to begin with.
I, being raised Catholic, am aware and have studied Jesus and his life, including the aspects of his humanity the church would rather you not know. When I did this piece I did so with the utmost respect for both characters, and I for one am happy everyone thus far enjoys it, including you!

Thanks!

Thank you for writing me back. I know the feeling. Michael Bay is a douchebag. You do have a point; '80s cartoons had more meaning. Nowadays it doesn't make any sense. I don't like how they did the second movie.

Yes. I would rather have Rodimus. Just so I could celebrate PRIME STAYING DEAD!!!

Heh its more the "Goku" syndrome of "Hey guys, im back!" of main characters who die. Besides, if the Decepticons are stuck with Galvatron (cartoon continuity) its only fitting the Autobots are stuck with Rodimus (who actually I rather like when he is well written).
Great Pic at any rate.
