Description One of those pics you work on for a long time, and when you're done you're absolutely unhappy with. 8|
Since it was a Xmas present for a friend, too, I'm kind of miffed it took me so long- oh well.

The challenge here was to 'draw him manly' (or at least not as girly as I do in my usual style), so... I tried to stick with canon designs as much as I could. Not quite sure I managed, but it's a learning experience. :'D

Photoshop+Open Canvas.
Title from the same song from the FF: Black Mages compilation.

I think this is amazing and beautiful. So even if you hate it I'm so glad you posted it. It's just beautiful. I love the bliss and happiness you put on his face too! Just stunning.

Wow this is really well done although I don't think anyone can make Starscream less girly

Well I blame the people who drew him originally. How did TC and Warp turn out less girly

Depends on which model you're referencing, honest. xD (Or rather, I have toys tha say one thing and comics/screencaps that say another. So I generally go with whatever, considering I've seen both in canon.)

They were the best to fiddle with. :F I changed the canon design a bit to suit my tastes. Thanks!

Peleliu [2010-01-09 19:48:12 +0000 UTC]

He couldn't enter a manly contest. Because PROFESSIONALS AREN'T ALLOWED what

B| I like his expression. He looks mellow. And his wings. Because they are very pointy.

Damn this is so pretty <3 If Starscream could look manly, this would be it

You're a very talented artist, and you shouldn't put yourself down when this pisture is so pretty <33 What exactly is it about this that you don't like?

flutterjet In reply to sallychan [2010-01-09 19:43:23 +0000 UTC]

Lol, I figure his canon appearance would be the manliest he can get, so I tried to aim for that--

I'm just not entirely happy with anatomy/perspective (as usual)- and the coloring was admittedly quick, but I think that's okay, pushes me to do better the next time. :'D Thank you though!

sallychan In reply to flutterjet [2010-01-09 20:07:13 +0000 UTC]

ROFL Still though in the series he's been seen a few times with a quite girlish figure :U Oh well.

:> You're your own hardest critic, as are all artists. But you're right, strive for better next time <33

flutterjet In reply to sallychan [2010-01-09 20:14:35 +0000 UTC]

Oh certainly. :'D I referenced IDW designs for the most part, but it's not like his frame lends itself to manliness too well.

Yup, will do~

sallychan In reply to flutterjet [2010-01-09 20:17:53 +0000 UTC]

Oh yes, poor Screamer. He was not designed for manhood :c LOL Go IDK <3

I think Screamer came out lovely here. XD

..Tho, to be fair, I hear it is easier to make him effeminate rather than masculine. XD

Nice.
In my opinion, Starscream can be both manly and girly without being OOC.

I think it's all in the eye of the beholder. 8B and in the shape of the hips.
