BEHOLD!
This is 's awesome GI Joe Prime, but you know I had to color it in G1 colors.

THANK YOU, SIR.

I first saw this about a year ago on the TF Wiki, and made up my mind that one day I would get brave enough to find out the Don's contact info, and ask him if I could color it. Things got a lot easier to achieve when he got on DA... So here you go: The realization of a long-term goal.

I like how it turned out. Scan made the blues a little light... Blargh.

I finished the coloring, but was dissatisfied with the pinup-on-white look. I wanted him to have some solid ground to stand on. So I threw on that shadow. I used the same browns I put into the red on Prime, to get some sense of color harmony..... But Wheeljack looked over and cracked up laughing. I asked her what was funny, and she said "nothing. It's silly." when pressed, she remarked, through giggles, in her Russian accent: "It's just... the way he's standing... And the color...!!"
And then I cracked up.
Alternate Title for this piece:
Prime Has Accident With Overactive Lubrication.

Anyways, I'm honored as always to get to work on one of Don's pieces!
More to come!

Prismacolor markers on Bristol paper. A couple dollops of white colored pencil in gun highlights.

Transformers = Not mine.
