Description
None of you know just how much work went into this page. I spent about 3 hours fixing the lines, the horribly broken perspective, and then started coloring 2 panels, and then I saved over the file on accident.After shrieking about it to everyone I knew who cared at all, I gave up for the night and started again this morning. It took me 4 hours to just fix the lines this time, because I said "fuck it" and fixed the broken perspective (no, it was BROKEN) and redrew 85% of the background/interior lines in PS with shape tools and such. Then I spent another 6 hours coloring because of all the light, and reflective surfaces. (DAMN YOU, ERIK, FOR CONVINCING ME THE TABLE SHOULD HAVE A MIRROR-FINISH.)
Anyways, I stopped typing there for like, 15 minutes from being distracted by Family Guy so I suppose I should wrap it up.
It's wrapped up.
(YAY, GOLD KITS.)
P.S.- I'll start the cover contest in 4 more pages. ^^

Amazing comic!!! I envy your ability to stick to it and stay motivated. Giving them human attributes is a nice touch, especially with Skyfire's glasses and Starscream's freckles x) I look forward to future pages (o:

Gyah! I know! That was my main concern... being able to actually finish something. But as it turns out, I haven't lost steam yet, and here I am, still pumping out pages not-so-regularly!
Thanks for the support :3

I just know his DADDY is Megatron! XD Has to be! Unless he's Starscreams dad...or uncle...either him or Optimus!

Wow, I'm not going to lie. You have to be pretty madcore to actually pull through all of that work. It's turned out fantastic, by the way. I simply cannot stop staring at Skyfire's reflection. IT HAUNTS ME.
Everything is so glowy and shiny and SCIENCEY. I can barely handle it. Got to love the matching colors, it keeps everything neat-looking.
P.S. SHOULD'VE BEEN JARVIS
P.P.S. I'm kidding.

SKYFIRE STARES INTO YOUR SOUL ALL WORRIED-LIKE
And yeah... I figured a family of scientists aren't going to be one for interior decorating.
P.S. BUT MILES ACTUALLY STANDS FOR SOMETHING >>;
P.P.S. O oke. ^^

His reflection is sexy...
And I could NEVER do art like this.
I don't have NEARLY the patience...

I blame it on OCD more than patience! xD

is this one of those things that you wish that would magically just draw itself? Cause I've had one of those things b4!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I wish all these pages just draw themselves so I can focus on writing the stories. x3

Oh, damn, it's sexy! I can totally tell the work that went into it, it looks wonderful, not to mention the fact you had to do it TWICE.
I badly want this book now; when will it be for sale? :3
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I actually figured out a way I can distribute these and not make money so I don't get sued!
If you paid for printing, binding, and shipping, we might be on to something here....
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I would never take something this good for free. You've put so much work in it and I will pay for it when the first issue is finished. :3
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I'll see if I can find a printing company that doesn't have a minimum... so I won't have 149 copies lying around after.

Okies. <3
I wanna buy a copy and have you sign it at Comic-Con. I mean, if it'll be done by then. XD

You going all days this year?

Pfft, of course, every day, including Wednesday. You?

Well, for the past few years we've only gone thurs-sat, and said "fuck that" to the masquerade because the line is so fracking long. We're usually burned out by sunday (also 'cause it's kiddie day), and... in past years, we've had to commute there and back from oceanside every day, so we didn't bother with wednesday night.
BUT SINCE WE'VE GOT A PLACE NEARBY THIS YEAR, WE'RE TOTALLY GONNA GO EVERY DAY. Also, because Patrick and I are gonna have awesome costumes, we're gonna see if we can get my brother to sit in line for us for the masquerade. xD
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
XD Awesome! You guys should sit with us; my cousin always saves a spot for us up in the Masquerade, and for the past few years, we've been the very first group in line for the 'Rade. I go every year; we only live about an hour trolley ride from the Center, so we just drive down to the El Cajon transit center, then ride the Orange Line the rest of the way there.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Do you guys like, take turns? Because I cannot see you waiting ALL DAY >>;
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Me? No. I disappear up to the Line at about 3-ish. I could NOT sit there all day long, it would drive me insane, but my cousins and our friends do it, and we switch off periodically. We mainly get a head-count for the tickets and we add up from there, usually grabbing a couple extra tickets in case someone else shows up and wants to sit with us.

Oh. Okay. Yeah, that makes things easier.

Of course, so much easier~

oh my god
I can taste the hard work
But seriously? The inside of that house is fucking astonishing. It's extraordinarily bright and atmospheric, and I keep staring at that forth panel because it's so smooth. D:

*wince* It sounds like that was quite the brutal page, but I think it came out wonderfully. I like the colours used, the design of the room, the reflectiveness and shading, and pretty much everything about this page. You did a great job, even if it was painful. ^_^
I'm rather amused by how Skyfire matches the room.

Woo! -falls over-
But yes. Scientists have a nasty habit of making everything monochromatic. x3

Eeee~ Sky look so cute. :3
Have I ever mentioned how much I love his glasses?
The coloring on the background looks great (as usual)
And the best way to make any house instantly awesome:
Add a House AI.
I want to go see Iron Man again just because of this.
God Jarvis is cool.

I figure every scientist's place of residence should have one.
I mean, it's like a TV, internet, and phone line all in one. And it talks. :3

Oh, definitely.
I don't think they can call themselves a true scientist if they don't have one installed at home. D:
I WANT ONE SO VERY BADLY. ;-;
