Description
This is my first attempt at a TF comic. It is a birthday present for my brother. Happy bday! It stars all of his favorite characters.This marks the first time (I think) that me and my bros have collaborated on a project. Hopefully this will be the first of many to come.
In panel 3, Hound's screen has "Ancient Autobot" on it, which is a font by Jim Sorenson. He based it on the Monolith that appeared in the TV episode Cosmic Rust. Thanks Jim!

Thank you! The double-edged sword of something so refined is that I get so burned out. I've been searching for a quicker art style for soooo long. Art came a bit easy to me, but the motivation and mental fortitude did not. Luckily, I feel I am getting stronger in my mind to create longer stories and not get burned out. Wish me luck!

oof, I hear ya there. The worst part about trying to actually create something you can really be proud of is how much it actually takes to keep at it :') I myself tend to be most comfortable in quick sketches, as with my ADHD it allows me to be able to switch my focus from one to the next quite quickly. I can pound out a couple pages of sketches at a time, but ask me to sit down and try to really complete something and I can hardly work on it for more than fifteen minutes at a time.

Hooray! Good to see the TF stuff you've been talking about.
Nice painting job! I'd like to see the edges sharpen up a bit, but I know how difficult that is... I've got the same issues when I try to paint in PS. Good contrast and form, though.
Overall, it's strong and I'm looking forward to seeing more. I like the silhouette of... Megatron, perhaps? Out in the distance. Transformation sequence looks great.
It almost feels like everything's a bit on the thin side, though... as if the page had been stretched vertically. Hound and Ultra Magnus (hooray!) and smokescreen all look a little narrow in panel 2 and once again in robot form near the bottom of the page. It's so uniform, though, that it looks like if you just squeezed it vertically, it'd look fine.
Anyone else ever notice that if ultra magnus raised his arms out to his sides that those two pylons on his shoulders would crush his head?
That's funny .
Sorry for the long post, but just some suggestions. Looks great! Can't wait to see part 2.
