Description - Caught between one's self and a hard place. -

-------
All done with 0.7mm graphite. I only wish that Ratchet had come out better than he had.

I'll most likely never ink + colour this since the original is much smaller and the ink would be too greatly prone to bleed into itself completely, but if anybody would like to give it a shot digitally, go for it. Sorry, by the way, that it's so messy.

X D Ratchet fans are so few and far in between, but g'damnit I think that's what it makes it feel cool, ya know ? I mean, I love a buncha a the more popular characters too, like Jazz, and Sideswipe, and the big Prime himself, but Ratch'll always be my #1 tf and it's good to know he's got some other love out there somewhere. : D I mean, hell, for all he's done, he deserves some glory, eh ? : 3 I've seen Jonin's Grim before, great stuff ! He should still have it up on his page, last I remember. It's an awesome pic indeed. *nod*

Anyways, thanks for droppin' in ! : D See ya' round ! ^_-

Cool piccie! I like it and so does my partner whom is a BIG Ratchet fan!

I still owe you a Ratchet drawing too, don't I? Can't say how good it'd be, my partner draws Ratchet a lot better than I do...she's even done a "Darth Ratchet" pic on request before! lol

That would be so awesome of you, Mirkah ! I love the way you colour !

You amaze me yet again with a fantastic creation. The background especially looks fantastic and I am more drawn to gazing at it than at Ratchet, who's expression is quite cute.

Danke ! I really appreciate the kind words. I'm usually not prone to making overly detailed backgrounds, but I liked how it conveyed the simplicity of Ratchet in a way. : D

I gotta give props for Cybertron. You must have spent some time on that. Did you have a model? And don't worry about the messiness. I'm way worse almost to the point of scribbling just to make it messier

ravenshield In reply to Nuclearkoi [2004-05-19 23:36:08 +0000 UTC]

Thanks ^_- Drawing Cybertron took a lot longer than Ratch did. I didn't really have a model per say, but I had a couple tiny references from shots of the planet in the bg of some of my old Transformer comics. I've also drawn Cybertron before in a couple of other pics, so I'm mildly tempered to it's heavy concentration of detail; still takes a hell of a' long time to do though. X D

So clean. And so neat! The pose is great. It's hard to draw Ratchet looking so...lost without making him look stoned. ^_^ And Cybertron looks amazing! Great job. I think you should only color the red spots on him. Great job!

ravenshield In reply to kakashi101 [2004-05-19 23:33:28 +0000 UTC]

Vielen Dank ! I have a little PVC of Ratch that helps me with posing him sometimes, so that mildly contributed to helping me with his lost/cornered-type pose. Cybertron took most of the time for this pic anyways.
As for colour, I was thinking that if I worked something out with it so that the ink wouldn't bleed into itself, than I would either only colour all the red parts, or, colour just the blue of his eyes, and the large red cross that's behind him. : D

Hey now! I think he turned out pretty damn awesome! ^ ^ Though why you did this all in a size so small is a wonder to me O.o

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

ravenshield In reply to Fugiri-Shi [2004-05-19 23:28:18 +0000 UTC]

Well, it started out as just a 'why not' pic of Ratchet, and I decided to stick Cybertron in there later. So when I started it was just a rather miniscule sketch of Ratch. Other than that, I havn't any justification for my size decisions.

Anyways, Danke !

In that case, I outta' get crackin' with some more, eh ? X D

I actually just found an older TF pic last night that had, aparently, fallen behind my computer some time ago. I remember having started it in about Jan. or Feb. of last year. Always kinda wondered where it went off too. So I think I'll finish that one up. I also have another pic of Ratch that I did before this one that has Cybertron in the bg too [smaller version of it though ], just have to finish up a couple more things with that one, then maybe I'll post it up. : D

ravenshield In reply to horsetechie [2004-05-19 23:37:39 +0000 UTC]

: D Danke ! If I figure out a way to safely ink it without the ink bleeding everywhere, I'll try and splash some colour on it too. ^_- I'd have to even out a lot of the lines on Ratch first though...which I guess is pretty much all of them. X D

*nods* Traditional inking is such an art. Prolly why I have given up on that to do it digitally. If I chose to do that.
