Well, here it is, all done.

Few things I want to state- Initially I was trying to go for a more TF Animated style, but I have indeed reverted back- but didn't really change the legs. I hadn't noticed he was having a more feminine figure then me til way into the coloring. However, it didn't bother me so much as to have to redo everything, so it stayed. Oh well- I know what to look for in the future.

** edit- also, been pointed out to me via some helpful peeps on th eforum that he is off-balanced- why did I not see this? I could have fixed it easily with the line art. His shoulder should have been slanted the other way.... oh well, one more thing I have to look out for!

Everything was done in illustrator except for th shadow. I just didn't want a flat white background but I am not really doing much of a bg.

Also, not sure how the shading looks. I am rather new to this style of vector- doing color and line art in Illustrator. Also, never really drawn anything that would have a metallic shading to it considering I just started drawing transformers in the past year. I know I can prolly do a lot more with illustrator- the problem is, I simply do not know how. See, for digital art, I am pretty much self-taught, and even when I did some comp classes, the versions of Illustrator where much much older ( heck, this was created with Illustrator CS6 and it is much different then what I was used to on the old comp- which was CS3.

I really am wanting to learn more about illustrator and such. If anyone has any tips or tutorials to help, I am all ears.

While I am happy with this drawing, And yes I do feel I got th emetalic feel for Drifts shading, I know it can be better. I like this better then my photoshop coloring, but I am really wanting to learn more about the program so when I am coloring in, I am not stuck with the limitations of what basics I know in illustrator.

Anyways, this is Drift, drawn like he is in the MTMTE comics.

He don't belong to me, I just drew him.

Hope you all enjoy!
