Description begun as a much-needed break from classwork...ended by losing sleep in the name of relaxation.

...it's gonna be a tough Monday.

AUGH so late to the party and so owing you e-mail or a call or some form of contact and just all around owing you for being awesome, but I've been drawn out of my recluse hidey-hole to say...

Tracks is unexpectedly *smokin'*. No wonder he's got such an ego on him. Anyhow, I think thee's done fine on all of them (tho' Smokey's hair looks a little flat for some reason, nevertheless, I like his expression), and Blaster looks like he's enjoying life.

*crawls back into hidey-hole*

no no, no awesomeness to see here! if anyone's awesome(ly godly and gracious), it's YOU! *pouncehug*

*chuckle* maybe i shouldn't gratify tracks' ego, but...i was just working with his 'bot-mode colouring, and i didn't have the heart to not try and make him cute. i think he'd slay me with a Pitiful Puppy Gaze of Doom. glad you like these guys!

*waves sheepishly for the veryveryvery late response*

Great job on Tracks! *stares and drools* no wonder him and Sunnie are always in beauty pag against each other. Love Smokescreen with the oriental almond eyes. Blaster is adorable!

*snicker* in re-evaluating his character (based on his TFU profile and G1 'toon appearances), i've found he's a good-time boy at his core, even if he smooths it over a lot. so yep, he can smile.

Excellent head shots of these boys. Tracks, I didn't expect but if placed next to Raoul, works.

How 'bout one of "Clan Datsun" (read that somewhere, don't ask), Jazz and Blaster driving others crazy with their music collection, and the Science Trio (with a smoky Wheeljack)?

*heh-heh-heh* that's a lotta people all in a shot, but the idea sounds interesting! wonder what music could drive an Arkful crazy...

thanks for the comments and fave; i was out of town for the weekend and spent several days prepping for the trip, so i couldn't get back to you right away.

lonegamer7 In reply to somethingorother [2007-04-10 06:19:28 +0000 UTC]

The above ideas could be just separate pieces: the Datsuns relaxing as one; Jazz and Blaster surrounded by tortured 'bots another; and the Science Trio amongst the smoky remains of a chem lab gone kablooey.

Music to drive an Arkful bonkers? REALLY catchy tunes that get stuck in your cranium upon first hearing. First time I heard TF Beast Wars II's 2nd Opening "Super Voyager", I couldn't get the melody out of my head. Just slap in "beast wars ii" on YouTube and you should also find 1st Opening "Get My Future". If you didn't know, BWII was Japan release only.

For another idea, team leaders FINALLY getting a break whatever way you can envision it. Silverbolt, Hot Spot, Grimlock, and Optimus. Prowl maybe, since having to deal with Jazz, the twins and Bluestreak could count as a team.

i've kinda had something in mind for the Datsuns Three along the lines of your idea, more or less. i'll try to get to that, but a bunch of other human'd Bots are still smiling at me. *eyes the Twins* haven't even thought about 'Bolt and Spot and...so many others, in fact...so we'll have to see how things play...

*listens to BWII theme and grins* oh, that might do 'em in nicely. especially if jazz or somebody runs around singing to the lyrics in falsetto... XD

It figures Blaster would be chilling out listening to his I-pod. Ironic that you almost never see a real life blaster anymore...or walkman cassette players for that matter!

huh, just realized I forgot to comment on this. O.o Funny how sometimes you think you did something and find out like months later you forgot. Or at least, I use that excuse with the phone bill. ;

Right, anyway... Tracks is amazing! I don't know how you come up with these designs, seriously. I never would have imagined him like this before but he totally fits now that I can see it. The hair especially. Great contrast in colors. Smokescreen and Blaster are luff too. ^^ Great expressions for them!

Now if only I can come up with a human Arco... With his colors I have no idea how to draw him. ;_;

*snicker* i use that excuse on FAR too many day-to-day things. thanks for the comments!

human arco...hmm...young, innocent, bashful and attracted to high-born sharpshootin' spys... *shall ponder this further*

Hehe don't we all? lol And you're welcome! I'm just sorry I've been so out of the loop and missed so many other pieces from ya! yay college...

That's my boy! lol Any insights would be extremely welcome! Cause at the moment, I think I'm tapped out, dude. He's just coming out bla on paper. He's boring. ;_; *pats the Arco*

Very nice, on all of them! But the one thing I love the most is Tracks' eyes. I can't say why. Just something special about them. I wouldn't have imagined hooman'd Tracks to have eyes like that, but they work completely. Beautiful!

BTW, did you get a chance to test the new set of music downloads I sent to you? Let me know if they worked okay this time.

somethingorother In reply to tactilecontact [2007-03-29 04:40:10 +0000 UTC]

aw, thanks. i wanted to work out a dark-skin/light-hair combo based on his mech colours; seems the most expedient thing is to make him a posh (as LadyJet said) Middle-Easter/Persian sort, hence the eyes. ^_^

mrrr? music? *checks email* i...don't see music...i mean, we don't "see" music anyway, but...i don't know where they got put. argh.

tactilecontact In reply to somethingorother [2007-03-29 16:31:02 +0000 UTC]

Well, it really did work out nicely. He looks beautiful! ^_^

The music downloads would've come along with an email I sent on the 20th. I'll go ahead and pop another email out to you today with fresh links. Let me know if you got the email from the 20th. If not, I can resend that too.

Catch ya later! ^_^

Hellsfirescythe [2007-03-26 21:44:46 +0000 UTC]

They all look great! Love all three of them, Tracks was definitely a surprise, but I like your idea for him a lot. Definitely love Blaster's design too (he has no hair! sorry, a little revert back to a Padded Cell thread). Love the smiles for each of them too. Smokescreen looks contently happy.

Your style seems a little different in this picture, but I like it a lot too. ^^
