Description
"In any war, there are calms between storms. There will be days when we lose faith; days when our allies turn against us... But the day will never come that we forsake this planet, and it's people."Welp, my hands are pretty much dead.
This is by far the most detailed picture I've ever done - at least several times over. Still, sticking all that detail into the line-art definitely made it easier. I learnt quite a lot doing this pic, as well as recieved a great deal of advice from ~Sin-Vraal - all of which will of course improve future art.
Oh, and to get the blasphemy out of the way - yes, Michael Bay's movies are my favourite version of Transformers. I grew up on Beast Wars, watched every episode of G1 around the same time, I even loosely followed the 'Unicron Trilogy' - but the movies remain my favourite interpretation of the franchise. Sue me
And yes, there'll be more Transformers art in future

Hi, I have a friend whose art was stolen by a guy on facebook, and I saw one of your pieces on there too.

He/She didn't give you any credit and I just thought you'd want to know about it.
On a happier note, this is indeed a beautiful piece.

Oddly enough, your title is the name of the score that plays during Dark of the Moon. :3

'It's our fight' is an awesome music piece, that definitely fits with your art piece. I love the detail and colour! I wish I could produce and art piece with this much detail, I mostly draw grey scale art pieces. Also the incorporation of the Glyphs is perfect! You have a like from me!! (:

Well, I absolutely adore the image. It looks fantastic, with lots of little gleans and shines to the metal that look so authentic. And hey, you even managed to include the Cyberglyphics on his blade (which is funnily enough not all that common amongst artwork of Prime).
As for my opinion on the Transformers films... I definitely can't agree on them being the "best" version of the franchise, but they certainly aren't the worst unlike what certain rabid fans would be quick to say. I will say that I liked the first movie, HATED the second, and then went back to liking the third again. Honestly, I'm actually glad that they've managed to influence newer instalments of the franchise to some extent, as it's also allowed them to mix it in with more traditional stuff and please more than one side of the fanbase, like with Animated and the "Aligned Universe" (which includes the TF Prime series and High Moon Studios games). One thing that I have really enjoyed about them... are the robot designs. Sure, some fans will bitch about them not looking G1, but really, translating the majority of the original designs to live-action form just wouldn't work, and the Movie designs, whilst indeed different, still managed to have a sense of familiarity with certain characters, as well as looking fully functional and visually spectacular. I especially like the Movieverse designs they've produced for Megatron.
But anyway, Optimus looks great here, and I also like you giving a feel for the image by posting a quote from DOTM, as well as putting the title of the deviation as one of the listings from the score (another thing I can say I've definitively enjoyed about them, Steve Jablonsky's compositions are incredible), which essentially plays when Optimus heads into battle and confronts Sentinel.
Great job.

This is amazing. Unlike so much movie art, it does NOT look like you just manipulated a screencap. Very lovely textures and colors.

This is one of the most detailed artwork I've ever seen. Makes me feel that if I just reach out my fingers a little more, I'll be able to touch it. Great work!

You've pictured the spirit of Bayverse very much. Despite all, I still love Optimus.
