Description
UPDATE:
I've updated Crossarm and Io's designs quite a bit since I first posted this:
Io: Not a proper reference sheet, but the differences between this and her old design are noticable:
END UPDATE
A reference sheet for my OCs, Io (depicted on the left) and Crossarm (on the right). Both characters are from my TFP fanfiction, war and wings.
I'm not planning on adding any shading to this. It's just them and their base colors.
I haven't yet designed Crossarm's alt-mode. Suffice to say it'll be a flashy model befitting of his personality.
The silhouettes at the bottom show their comparative sizes. I also included Ratchet, since I have the darnedest time keeping Io the right size when I draw her with Ratchet (she's about half his size).
Mini Bio time
Io: Formerly a Decepticon wingman (4th tactical bombing division under Commander Dreadwing) and medic, she defected to the Autobots after Megatron destroyed Nova Cronum, her hometown. After her defection, she served as a research assistant in experimental medicine in Iacon. After a terrible mishap--whereby one of her experiments was sabotaged by a jealous colleague, she was transferred to the Iacon Clinic and Triage Facility for remedial shield duty under Ratchet's tutelage. Intelligent, focused, and stubborn to a fault, she feels she has a lot to prove to the world, and she's more than willing to do so, even at the cost of her own well-being.

Sergeant Crossarm: No one knows how Crossarm managed to rise to the rank of sergeant. It's also a mystery as to why anyone would want to have someone as narcissistic and arrogant as he heading up medical operations at the Iacon Clinic. Maybe nepotism had something to do with it...? Regardless, Crossarm is in it mostly for himself. A playboy at spark, he sees himself as nothing other than "Primus' gift to femmes" or "one tasty piece of energon." He rarely listens to his underlings, and spends more time trying to get out of doing work than actually doing anything useful...much to everyone's chagrin. Some 'Bots have gone so far as to think that he would make a fine Decepticon...

I haven't discussed that in the story yet, but its a self-inflicted scar that holds a special significance to her.

I just have to find a creative way to introduce it into the story without affecting flow...
I decided last minute to change the ending of the chapter, so I'm still editing/tweaking it. All in all, I'm hoping that people will like what I'm setting up.

Crossarm: Oh, puh-lease... Mechs are a dime-a-dozen. ANYONE with half a processor can berth a mech. Femmes...they tend to be a lot more picky, and as such prove more irresistible, not to mention challenging.
And, what can I say? I like a good challenge.
So, yeah, you keep doing your thing, keeping up with the status quo. Me, on the other hand, I'm off to woo the newest, female, addition to our clinic. She's a fine, former 'Con with the most amazing set of ailerons. If only she wouldn't hang around Ratchet so much...*grumble*

Knockout: HA! Ratchet? Girlfriend? HIM?! Yeah right, that b would NEVER allow a femmine to cross paths with him, UNLESS the femmine was in need of medical assistance or to share important info. That's what sweet energon told me. Sweet energon is my nickname for Ratchet. Oh, and guess what? *knocks Crossarm out and drags him to the 'con base and into Knock's room* The best part: I'll f
any bot, 'con or autobot, as long as they're a mech. Even you. *rapes Crossarm in which, to Cross's full dispair, he found total pleasure in* You know what? I'll call you 'Crossy' untill I find a better nickname for you.

IF the Autobots can find room for Narcissists and egotists like Sunstreaker, Tracks, and TFA Sentinel Prime, they can handle this guy.

Let us not forget Powerglide, lol.
Yeah, most just condescend to tolerate his presence.

Well, Powerglide's just a hot shot daredevil. It goes with the territory.

Thanks! I modeled her alt-mode after this image of Cyclonus [link] Except hers is a lot more stylized and not so dorky.

Thanks. They look all flat though...I really want to give them some shading...especially Crossarm. Methinks I might do that at some point, or at least color one of his busts the way I did one of Io's.

Symrea In reply to praxcrown5 [2012-06-17 14:46:10 +0000 UTC]
Well, with your shading skills, it should be no problem. However,what programme did you use to draw them?

I use Photoshop Elements. It's like a simplified version of regular Photoshop. I've been told that Sai and Gimp are both better at coloring, but I've become so familiar with PSE that I'm loathe to try anything new.

I have photoshop elements, it might not be the "best" for colouring, however I'll have a quick look and I can see if I can find that epic method for shading (it makes life a lot easier. Also, SAI isn't much different from PSE, so if you did decide to buy it, it's really easy to get the hang of. But it costs about $60 so it's not cheap.)
