Description yet another print idea i have for botcon.
this time i wanted to do my take on the upcoming war for cybertron video game characters.
i gotta say i had a lot of fun working on this one. i wouldn't mind doing another one when i get a bit more free time.
most of this image was created by looking at a few stills from the game and from pictures of the toys if anyone is wondering.
anyways, enjoy the line art until the colours are done

Wow! This is complex! Coloring this will be the most challenging! But I'm gonna try it, I mean for practice.

MG, as ever, your work is awe-inspiring.

if/when it sees color, perhaps do a translucent red blade popped from bee's right forearm... as proof the lil'est bot is NOT TO BE TAKEN LIGHTLY! heheheh

Am I the only one who wanted Megatron to say "Transform and Rise up!" during the game?

No, I mean after you scanned it.

markerguru In reply to DarkGuillotine [2010-06-21 13:54:00 +0000 UTC]

i just scan it in B&W. so the lines should stay pretty crisp. if there are any specs on it, i just erase them out.

These are the sorts of images my mind boggles at when I even contemplate how to do 'em. Hats off once again, sir!

all you have to do is pick a starting point and work from there. thats all i do when i start the sketch for the image.

Heh! I love how you guys make it sound so easy!

I'd love to try my hand at something like this when the time is right - for now, I'm working on my perspective and backdrop skills. There's always something that needs developing...

markerguru In reply to hde2009 [2010-06-18 23:26:44 +0000 UTC]

it's not easy so to speak. it's just being use to it. the more you work on it, the easier it gets.

Co-signed.

I find that my different projects tend to pull me all over the place. One minute, I'm writing a script. The next, I'm inking somebody's pencils. Or lettering a page for somebody. I just don't get the time in one nice, long run that I need to really sit down and crank out actual pencils and blow the dust off properly, if you get my drift.

But I'm working on it. My workload is getting lighter, and I'm focusing more.

Thanks for the encouragement, dude!

jbvirus In reply to markerguru [2010-06-17 04:27:14 +0000 UTC]

haha well your art is amazing man, no matter what others say. My transformer drawings always come out stiff, I'm trying to figure out how to give them that smooth kinda feel like how your transformers are. Always look forward to new art from ya, keep up the great work man!

markerguru In reply to jbvirus [2010-06-17 07:13:07 +0000 UTC]

just practice inking the lines in one go. don't go over them repeatedly and you might get the smooth look your wanting.

jbvirus In reply to markerguru [2010-06-18 02:16:15 +0000 UTC]

Any suggestions on the kind of pens I should use? I'm just using a regular kind of office pen. I'm guessing that's not a very good kind of pen to use for art projects.

πŸ‘: 0 ⏩: 1

markerguru In reply to jbvirus [2010-06-18 03:54:45 +0000 UTC]

the pens i use are pigma micron pens by sakura. i also use prismacolor pens as well. but really its always best to use what your comfortable to use. the end result will be the same with whatever you like to use.

Yes I was wondering, very cool piece. The toys are prefect as models wish I had some of my own. I really loved the first gen toys from the TV show of the 80's.
