Description
A commission of Optimus Prime. I haven't been into transformers since I was a kid and the films did nothing to get me interested again. I was more into Thundercats and He-man. Having said that this was a lot of fun to draw, it's a challenge to make what is essentially a series of connected blocks look good.Related content

Top work.
Do you have plans to color this? If not, I know who would like to...

No plans as I suck at colors - if anyone wants to take it on I can send a high res file.

I would try it, you've got note.

All those cracks and scratches just bring this piece to a whole 'nother level. And that's a pretty clever observation, making a bunch of connected blocks look good. Heh. Lol.

thanks for your comment. I love drawing all the detail! I made conscious decision not to draw any of the small cracks etc until I was done with the overall drawing - sometimes it's better to work in clear stages so you can focus on one thing at a time.

I work that way too; do the overall then do all the finer details. I just looked at your other work too... it's magnificent!
