Description
"Nightmare Project"This is a Mosaic I did while back that just got posted so I guess its safe for me to post now too. I haven't gotten much of a chance to do Mosaics in a long time (which is a damn shame for me because I love the Mosaic project so much but I've been way too busy for new ones for various things getting in the way of my free time) and in fact have 2 more long overdue ones left to finish up really soon because, well, its been too long, yknow?
Anyways, I posted this comment over in the actual Mosaic upload but I'll copypaste it here because its the exact thing I want to say anyways
Had a lot of fun working on this and giving the Pretenders a whirl, never drawn em before but they were really fun to try my take on em.
And most importantly I want to thank for his infinite patience during the far too long of a wait for it to be completed.

The dialog flows so well on how you constructed the page!- and not obstructing the art too!
Deep and heavy with even the lines!
Really glad so much attention is given to the Quentesson faces- the last panel when they're turned - now that's what I call attention!
Even when you lined up the pretenders! (well I think) most dimmed less flashy color scheme last- and you did! EXCELLENT!

Glad you like my take on the Quintessons and Pretenders, I'd never drawn them before and holy crap were they a challenge

Great job with the artwork dude! Its cool to see those characters done in your style, especially the quintessons.

Thanks man! I never drew a Quintesson before so it took a while to sorta figure out how to approach em. I do have a weird urge to draw some of the other weirder inhabitants of Quintessa now though, lol. And I definitely have to get back to some of the other Pretenders, lots of weird designs to have fun with

Yeah, I definately need to draw more of em when I get the chance, probably some turnarounds at some point

I need to draw more too. I need to get my groove on.

Absolutely, if you stop drawing, you lose the groove!!!

That's true.. I've just been lazy reading Steven Kings "It"
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
lol I think everyone deserves to be lazy sometimes.
That reminds me, its been soooo long since I last read "It". Last thing I read was this really trippy book called "John Dies at the End". Its like if HP Lovecraft wrote a book while high on acid

True, it's nice to be lazy, but of late I've been also spending a lot of time working on an eighties retro site

NIIIICE, lookin' forward to seeing that completed!!!

I really love this comic.
But this plan had me thinking....if they want to create all our nightmares...would they make a Transformer version of Freddy Kreuger? Probably not but it's something worth entertaining
The words were a bit confusing at first, but once I got the knack of reading in the right order I enjoyed it.
Nice colouring. You kept the colouring light in spite of the dark 'atmosphere'. I think it's brilliant.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
lol the Quintessons were smart, but not THAT smart
Glad you like the colouring, I was in the middle of a few changes and experiments and adjustments in colouring that I hadn't tried before at the time so I'm glad they didn't turn out ugly
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Poor Alien-Robots for going into Daniel's head.
Though it's a lesser evil than a Starscream fan. Could you imagine the horrors they would face in there? *shudder*
It's okay. I can see your colouring improve with each comic. I think it's good to fight the trend every now and again to keep things fresh.
Nah they're not ugly colouring. Even if they were you could blame it on the characters you are colouring

oh god don't even dare make me think of that XD!!
I've always though that experimentation in any aspect of art is an important part of art
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
For sure; experimentation is what makes art fun.
hahaha 
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yes it does
Unfortunately I can't really commit to any comic stuff, its a time constraint thing, I got tons of crap still left on my plate to deal with (heck, I still have 2 Mosaics that are way way way WAAAAY over due), been a horrifyingly busy and awful start to the year so far, lol
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
That's okay. I think we all have less time to come onto here.
Good luck with your work

Thanks, I'll definitely need the luck!

The Mosaic projects were really cool; I haven't seen any of them in the recent Transformers books, is there a reason for that or did they just stop?
But, nicely done here and a good story to go along with it

From what I heard some new editor came along (I dont think he lasted very long either) kept forgetting to do it despite being told to be higher ups and it got sporadic and then by the time that guy was gone IDW began the big refocus on the line with the plans for All Hail Megatron and it got put on the backburner indefinately unfortunately. Thats what I've heard anyways.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Damn, that really really sucks
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yup. And to make matters worse the next one in queue was supposed to have been my "Trained" one and it got delayed and it was supposed to have been in Spotlight: Hardhead and it never happened. ah well, thats the way the cookie crumbles, I'm not mad, thats business. And besides, my new stuff looks way better anyways

You are very professional Sir. I'd be more angry about it, but then i'd vent that anger by killing lots of Locusts in GoW.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
lol it would have been nice, but in retrospect it would have already been out of date with how I was drawing stuff when it would have been printed, I had long since stopped the cel-rendering thing that Mosaic was done with.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah. I know artists styles can change, or get better over time
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
i looooved it with all the others you made!! the poses are just great, and really, it is a damn good thing to see some pretenders, star saber an ol megsie in your style!
you re really talented, and i think when ya will have time, could do some more! you can do so good mosaics
keep up the good work!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Heehee, thanks, glad you like em!
I do have 2 more in the works (waaaay over due) but they should be done soon and hopefully we wont have to wait too long for them to get posted
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
i can hardly wait for 'em to be checked, im sure i will love those too
but dont hurry with them, a good work is made by ideas, not speed.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I promise I won't rush em and I'll make em awesome
I'm actually aiming to get them done by mid-June, just in time for the Mosaic 3rd anniversary celebration
