CHECK OUT MY FANFICTION THAT GOES ALONG WITH THESE PICTURES: [link]* * *
Welcome! Today, “Don’t Ask What Inspired This Crazy Idea” Theater presents the very special program, Dancing With The Autobots! I’m your hostess, The Artist Currently Known As Kryschenn. In the show ahead, several celebrity Autobot dancers will strut their stuff for a chance to win feedback from an internet full of judges! And now, here is our second set of contestants!
A devil-may-care duo, Ironhide and Chromia leap energetically onto the dance floor in free-form, unrehearsed Swing dance. When your hostess asked if these sparkmates had eschewed a more formal, rehearsed routine in favor of an improvisational dance to reflect on the enduring spontaneity still present in their long-term relationship, Ironhide was quoted as saying, “Ah, slag you an’ yer formal foo-foo scrap. We’re just gonna dance!”
Well said, Ironhide, well said. And now, let’s hear from the judges!

Definitely a great piece. My only criticisms are the shape of Chromia's helmet is a little off, and her torso is twisted a wee bit too much. She's twisted almost 90°. The most a torso should twist in either direction is 45°

Well, I guess that's what happens when I do the whole thing freehand with only a grainy 3x4" reference photo of a couple swing dancing.
To tell the truth, I did notice that Chromia had more of a twist than one would think possible ... I just noticed when it was far, far too late to do anything about it. So I came up with this excuse: Maybe she does a complete 180-degree turn at the waist when she transforms, so if that's the case, a 90 degree twist isn't all that impossible for her!
You do belive that, right?
The helmet was another story. I had a couple different screen shots of her from the cartoon, and the animation was so inconsistent that she looked completely different from one shot to the other. I just sort of made up something in between and hoped for the best.
The fact that this was actually the first picture in the series to be completed probably contributes to the fact that I personally think it's the weakest one ... I was still figuring out exactly what I was doing and poor Chromia and Ironhide got to be my guinea pigs.
Thank you, I do appreciate the constructive criticism, and I'm glad that you like the piece overall.

Chromia and Ironhide thank you for the perfect 10, and admit they are a bit surprised by such a high score because they never rehearsed before the competition!
