Description
Imagine, for just a moment, Elita hadn't fallen. Imagine they returned home, unharmed if maybe a little frightened, and moved on with their lives.Seriously. I can totally imagine this happening. Several other things, too, the remainder of which will be posted as soon as I can get them done. C:
~~~
EDIT: The yellow femme sparkling's name is Buttercup, courtesy .
EDIT: And the blue femme is Borealis, also courtesy the wonderful supergeek17. BECAUSE is AMAZING!!!
~~~
Once again, my muse was supergeek17 [link] whose untiring defense of Sentinel won me over for this pairing and helped me develop a personal love for his story.
*cough* On another note, this is the first purely picture I've finished with my new program. I finally gotz my Photoshop!!! Woot!
So...um...let me know how this works out.
Uncle Magnus...tehee, I couldn't resist.
*NOTE!* The sparklings were my own invention. I made them up as I went, but I still feel attatched. PLEASE NO STEALING. (I am happy to lend OCs to others, but I wish you would ask first.)

I guess Sentinel will forever hold a grudge...that does not look like its of the same reason it is in the series. The girls are .... amazingly awesome. Trying to not to use words already used but....they are adorable.

*rofl* I'm glad you enjoyed them. They were OCs requested by *supergeek17 and they were fun to draw.
And yeah...Sentinel will always be sentinel. X3

The look on Optimus' face is so adorable.
And the sparklings are adorabel too.
I like the Uncle Magnus bit.
Though I think the outlines might be a little too thick, other than this is really good.
Elita looks really pretty and I can so see Sentinel being an overprotective parent.

Thanks for the great thoughts! It's nice to hear a well thought out comment once in a while. The line thing...yeah. I'm working on fixing that.

Great concept, and great picture. One tip, the line thickness could use a little refinement.
But you finally gotz Photoshop!! Yay!!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Thanks!
Yeah. I didn't realize I was zoomed out so far until the picture was almost done. Paying more attention now.
Photoshop!!!

sigh... Well, the Optimus-Elita-Sentinel triangle has pretty much been one of the most tragic and emotional stories in TFA anyway, so naturally it lends itself very spectacularly to fanart coverage. There are just so many ways it could have ended differently. Maybe if they had gotten out of there in time, maybe if BA had been a little less bitter, understood a little better that Optimus accepts her no matter what she looks like, maybe if Sentinel actually did accept her....

I know...it's so sad. There's actually a club and some really good essays that accepted this. It's their fault I love this pairing now.

They have adorable kids

Thanks. I couldn't help it. liked the idea and I was bored. CX

It was a cute idea. It is kind of a shame that it didn't happen. I'm one of the few fans that does like G1 Optimus and Elita together, but I don't like TFA Optimus and Elita together. I really find that Elita-1 in TFA was more romantically linked with Sentinel.

Strangely, I feel the exact same way. (On both counts.)

I see. I guess I'm not the only one.

Nice to not be alone, isn't it? C3

This is awesome in so many ways.
Sentinel and Elita's kids are beyond adorable-- and likely have their daddy wrapped around their fingers. x3 They need names, yes? Hmm... the little yellow one looks like she'd be a Buttercup. (The song "Build Me Up Buttercup" was what made me realize I had a Sentinel muse to begin with. x3) The little navy one, I'm not too sure.
Protective Daddy Sentinel is protective. And Uncle Magnus is is awesome too.
You my friend have won a cookie.

OwO OMGizzaCOOKIE! *pounce* *noms*
Great. You have discovered my weakness. *pout*
I really like that. Buttercup DOES suit her, doesn't it? LOL. I really like the little blue femme. She's her daddy's little girl. I'll have to think about her name for a while...
...

Heh heh heh heh... With this knowledge I shall rule the world! *evil laughter*
I'm glad you liked it. ^^ Hmmm... so the little blue one is like the little girl version of her daddy or no? I'm a little dense at times, I admit.
Mmm... cookie...
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
LOL. It's just how she turned out. Any name ideas yet? C3

Not at the moment, yet.
I've always had a strange desire to use the name Borealis for an OC of any kind; I can gift it to you if you'd like to use it. ^^
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Borealis...hmm...Sure, why not? You sure you want to give it to her? I don't want to make you feel like you have to.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I'm sure-- I would love to see that name get used, but I know I'll never use it since I rarely create OCs. I'd be quite happy to let you have it. ^^
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Okay, then. Borealis it is!!! C3 I'm going to work on the "expecting" picture soon, so keep an eye out!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Awesomeness. ^^ Yay, I really can't wait to see that one! *flails excitedly*
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Hehe. I can't decide whether Sentinel should be phoning for help or something. XD

Probably trying not to spazz out... emphasis being on trying. xD

"Don't worry, okay, 'Lita?"
"Sentinel, I'm not worried. You on the other hand..."

OMGosh! And suddenly I have a comic! Lol, how d'you DO that?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I dunno, I open my mouth and words come out and apparently you find them inspiring. xD
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I don't think so. I've thought of "weirder" stuff-- I'm the one who decided Sentinel's daughter by Blackrachnia was deaf and that G1 Beachcomber had a stutter.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
A stutter? *blinks, then falls over laughing* That's GREAT!
*cough* Anyways... *chuckle* I've had my fair share of wierd ideas, too. Like the Seekers having a different role from Autobots AND Decepticons before the war. *laughs again* I really need to work on those stories. They were fun.
I read your description of their daughter, Topaz, right? I thought it was BRILLIANT.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yes, a stutter-- when he gets worked up over anything, good or bad, he starts to stutter, at times really severely. I rather like the concept... It makes him more human, pardon the expression.
Sounds really interesting. What was that role?
Yeah, Topaz. Thank you very much, I'm glad you liked it. ^^ Eventually I'll write more with her.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Well, I figured that since Decepticons are weapons and Autobots are builders, the Seekers would have to be equally valuable as products n the Quintesson empire. They were entertainment. Dancers, writers, singers, you name it. C3
Awesome.

That is a logically sound idea, and one I would love to see explored. ^^ (Trust me-- logically sound is a major factor for me. xD)
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Me too. I couldn't get the idea out of my head that the fliers just didn't seem like efficient weapons until later on, and that was only because of their "special abilities". So, I made up my own excuse for that. (There's more to the idea, a series of stories I'm doing about how they fled the Quints, grew to hate the Autobots, and wound up joining Megatron...oh, with a tidbit about Star's voice thrown in. C3) Like I said, I can't help it. It just made sense. C=
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
This is very true. (So what IS the deal with Starscream's voice anyway? x3)
I certainly won't fault you for going with the creative flow. I do that all the time. (That's how I ended up rewriting Topaz to be deaf.)
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
*shifty eyes* Well...I'm still working on it. But I'll tell you this, before he got his new voice, he was a slow dancer but an AMAZING singer. *grins* I really should post the story some time soon, shouldn't I? It's mostly from TC's pov, but there's a nice dose of the other two members, too...
Oh, by the way. That picture is done. CX I'll post it as soon as I can.

Ahahaha... interesting. ^^ I'd love to see that.
