Description
I was told by the judges that I was safe to post this once the polls were closed and they've been closed for a few hours now. So...Here are the colors for my Bombshell cover entered into the IDW forums Covers Competition. (As they are as of now.)
Pencils done by hand.
Inks done by hand and redone in Illustrator.
Colors done in Photoshop.
I was going to put the titles and logos on it but I'm not 100% sure it's done and I also couldn't find any high-res copies of IDW's Transformers:Spotlight logo.

Well that's an interesting take on Bombshell. However, with his trademark insectishell ability, it makes sense for him to be a puppet master of a sorts. And hey, that's the Seacon Tentakil and Alpha Trion if I am not mistaking. Props to you for showing some support for the lesser known Autobots and Decepticons.

Bombshell is so scary, but that's why I like him the most among the Insecticons.

I think Bombshell needs a spotlight (of torturing Hunter...I think I may be a horrible person)

Immense creation man but when i scan an image i have created by hand and open it in illustrator i can't go over the lines using the tools that i want, i'm stuck with pencil and lines

Very nice touch of using symbolism here, the Cerebro Shell marionettes greatly add to this piece.

I have a tutorial on the IDW forums if you're interested. So, are you taking another chance with the covers contest? Looks like a couple of lucky entrants could get back in for round 3.

and putting more than 1 character on a page is really tough for me as well but oh well some got it and some don't.
For what I do i guess I'm okay somewhat. but
I guess I'm doing it for just me for the most part. Wether folks like what I do or not is not that important, but at the same token I would love to one day be taken seriously as an artist and lets face it drawing tfs is not really a strong point for me, I draw woman better than anything else.

Idk depends on the contest, but if it has to do with coloring no way. there are just too many professionals that are 1 billion times better and 1 trillion times more experianced than me.
I don't believe in competing to be honest, and I have never been good at losing either.
But it will be cool to see what everyone else does I guess.
The contest I did last time just shows that manga art is they way to go and I for 1 hate it because I can't draw movement for shit bro lol
All i can draw is pose after pose.

Thanks. I'm pretty happy with how it's coming out. I really like how it looks with titles I just don't want to put low res images on top of it.
