Description
My first FULLY ORIGINATED cover!Late last year I was priviliged to be given the opportunity to draw my first cover for Transformers UK after they liked my vision of 'Movie-Transformers-as-high-budget-Anime' as seen in my Mikaela & Bumblebee pic[link] .
I had been colouring strips and covers for them since issue 6 but producing the line work as well was a whole new challenge! The main problem I encountered was knowing when to stop moving things around! When I'm colouring someone else's work the art is fixed and there's only so much you can do!
This issue is on UK Newsstands now (but not for much longer) and I hope it will be reprinted in the U.S. in IDW's 'Saga of the Allspark' series at some point later in the year. I'm happy to say that Titan liked this enough to ask me to draw the next issue's cover and I'll be uploading that next month!
Just to explain what's going on here, in UK continuity, Jazz has been rebuilt by Ratchet (without Prime's knowledge) but a tainted fragment of the Allspark was used in his resurrection. Now Jazz is a bit off the rails and after Prime's head!
To sell.
On ebay.
Probably.
Anyways, I hope you guys like it! I'm planning to draw a lot more this year now that I'm getting the taste for it again!
Thanks for taking a look!

Concept, Lineart and colours by me!

I tried to walk the line between movie & G1 with this one. I should have pushed the realism in Jazz / Arcee's faces a bit more.
Thanks for the compliments!

It's cool. It's artistic license or style or whatever it's called. Like how Andy Wildman used to draw G1 TF's looking pretty much like human's in suits. Still to this day I can't decide if I liked that or not. Seemed to work alright though I was always more a fan of Lee Sullivan and Geoff Seniors more dynamic and sharp artwork.
Either way this pic looks very cool.

He was originally out to get Prime, but the Editor & I thought Jazz vs Prime would look like a pretty one-sided cover (Prime's twice as big!). The other defeated Autobots are there to make Jazz look bad-ass (although they probably wouldn't fight back).
Jazz didn't actually fight them in the comic, the idea of this cover was to make a point- that Jazz was back and he wasn't playing for the good guys anymore!

It's an abstract background but imagine they're in some kind of huge steel mill.

Thanks for the fav! It may be available on ebay but probably overpriced and battered... hopefully IDW will reprint it if they continue the 'Saga of the Allspark' series.

Thanks Cafcow! Hopefully they will if IDW continue their 'Saga of the Allspark' series, unfortunately the first few issues weren't well received so it's kinda in limbo atm!

Thanks, I mixed the movie toy version of Arcee with G1. Unfortunately, she'll look nothing like this in RotF!

Brawl56 In reply to JasonCardy [2009-03-03 13:28:42 +0000 UTC]
Yeah...really bad...
The "humanish" design of her was great.
This "Wheelbot"-Design looks a bit weird...reminds me on Gizmoduck Γ΄.Γ
