Description My try for the CTHS Cover contest held by

CTHS (Cybertronian High School) is an absolute must-read for transformers fans, so if you haven't, go read it!

I'm not absolutely happy with the cover yet. Any tips how I can improve it?

I used the tutorial of for the lineart of Skyfire, many thanks for the tut!

Cool that you decided to include such a "new" character as Skyfire's dad. Also, I'm glad to know the tutorial helped. Good luck in the contest!

Yes tutorial helped greatly! It's awfully time-consuming in comparison to just drawing with a feltpen on paper, but it sure looks better
I think I should try to redo Starscream with the technique, too, I'm not very happy with him.

Thank you so much for introducing me to that comic. X3 ^is an insta-fan^

Btw, thing I noticed, now that I've actually read/seen it: Isn't Skyfire's dad's optic-thingy on the other side from where you have it?

as a transformers fan you just can not pass CTHS on DA. Optic thing: SLAG! you caught me! The original picture is the other way around, I mirrored it for the sake of the proportions of the cover page. Haven't thought about that. Thanks for your tips!

I randomly notice little details like that, and yet tend to miss blatently obvious stuff. XD

No prob! ^_^

OMG... Why was I suddenly forcefully reminded of "Caramelldansen" when I saw theSeeker shadows in the background...? XDD

Nice one, good luck!

Oh, Primus... 'Screamer has freckles. X3 That is totally hilarious.
And...Skyfire has glasses? O.o

Either way, sounds fun. I'll go check it out.

Tips, you say? Hm... Where SS's neck connects to his helm (from the audience's POV on the right side) looks a little awkward, and you may wish to make it look more like it's made up of cables, like the other two's necks.

And it might look better if you made the silhouettes in the back darker - almost black.

Other than that, though, I got nothin'.
