Description A while back I bought a Pack of Japanese style postal envelopes and decided to draw random Transformers Portraits on them. With help from Tumblr users I got 27 characters suggested and went to work. And that's what I've been up to for the last 2 months. Now that I've finally finished the 'Envelope Series' and posted them all to tumblr, I'm posting the final coloured versions on here.

I HAVE NOT SEEN PREDACONS RISING YET AND DON'T INTEND TO UNTIL THE OFFICIAL RELEASE. NO SPOILERS PLEASE.

10 of 27 - Knock Out- (Transformers: Prime version).
It should be illegal for a ‘Con to be this attractive.

Not happy with this one. First the red copic I was using went streaky (it’s been like that since I refilled it no idea why) and then the scanner completely killed the colours. Knock Out’s a much, much brighter red than what scanned.

I also had issue with my scanner for the entire 27 envelopes where it bleached or colour shifted. I've corrected as best I can, but alas some of them look bad.

Copic Markers, Copic Multiliners, Pacer. Each took around 4-5 hours to line and about an hour to colour. I lined one per day till I had 6-7 done and then coloured.

Transformers and associated characters are Hasbro and IDW's

I love all these "envelope pictures" of yours! This one is my favorite though. The colors are awesome! I love the look of Copic markers too, and these are all really well done.

Thank you so much. I'm glad that someone loves them ^^
I rather wish my scanner handled the red-orange spectrum better than it does. They're my favourite colours to use but they always seem to scan in florescent and loose the subtle shading I put into them.

You're welcome.

Hmm, that's too bad. In my opinion the reds and oranges look the best when drawn with Copics, so it's too bad that the scanner can't process it. 

They don't look bad to me though. I love the 'envelope series'; it's such a creative idea!

I know. They always look so nice done with copics. *threatens scanner to behave*

Agreed. *scanner sticks its tongue out at you*   Bad scanner!
