Description I had a short little story with Ratbat and Megatron, depicting why he spared the former senator and had him converted to a "downsized mode". But well... I've mentioned this before, I'm not happy with how I draw Transformers. Hell, I haven't been happy with how I draw period lately. (Bots and people both.) I know my coloring is good, but the lineart's not what it should be.

It really doesn't help too much that about the time I was drawing this, I got ahold of Nick Roche's new TF comic, and how he was drawing was EXACTLY how I've been wanting to, with a perfect blend of the Animated and G1 style. (Except you know, he actually pulled it off!) Which of course made me think and rethink my art a lot.

And this page, the layout is weak, there's no establishing shot of the room... All these little things I should have thought more about that I didn't. I need to spend some time just sketching and drawing... Just trying to get a new feel for things. It's why I haven't updated all that much in the past month or so, and why it's been taking me a while to do a new comic.

So yeah, I don't know when I'll get around to drawing the second page, so I figured I'd show the art off at least for this one.

Well it's still nice, clean art and I love how you do Ratbat there. But if you're unhappy with it, you should redo it, because this looks like gold to me!

Unhappy? Your work is FANTASTIC! Mine doesn't even measure up to the deleted files in your wastebasket.
