Description
"You two," she said, pointing to Prowl and Jazz. "You're robots, right? Are you water proof?"Jazz and Prowl looked at each other at the odd question.
"Of course we are," Prowl responded.
"Good, come with me."
The two followed her into a smaller room without carpet, white walls and bright lights. She went to a white ceramic fixture and turned a lever. Water gushed out of it into the basin below and then she looked expectantly at her guests.
"Get in."
The Autobots stared at her like she was crazy.
"Are you serious?" Jazz blurted.
"In," Crystal insisted again, pointing to the rising water in the bath tub. "You're both filthy and you reek." She made a face as she pulled a bit of garbage off one of Prowl's doors and tossed it in the trash. "Get in and clean up or I will do it for you."
Reluctantly, they obeyed. Crystal provided orange dish soap to help get rid of the smell and then unceremoniously grabbed Prowl by the doors and began scrubbing the parts the second in command couldn't reach. Prowl didn't look happy about it at all, but silently took the treatment.
Whee, my first Transformers post! XD
Above is an excerpt from a wonderful TF fic called "Small Problems," by the very talented author, "Ghost of the Dawn," also known as "Ty-Chou" here on DA. Both her gallery and works of fiction are well worth visiting.
You can visit her DA page here ----->
You can read her story here -------> [link]
In this particular story, a handful of Autobots are accidentally shrunk down to the stature of very small children, and are left to fend for themselves in New York, which also happens to be full of full-sized Decepticons who want to kill them.
I had way too much fun doing this. XD

*laughs* Thanks! I like his smug grin, too. XD He's pretty amused that Prowl's getting scrubbed like an errant 3-year old. XD

I have no doubt. I'm half surprised he doesn't drowned his engine laughing. It's so terribly undignified for the incredibly dignified, self-controlled logical tactician and Autobot SIC.

Why thank you, I'm glad you like it!
Heehee, I'm particular to pudgy little Grimlock there; makes him seem a bit less intimidating. XD
Since the release of this picture, the author has created two more stories related to the first one, but I definitely recommend reading the first one most of all.

Thank you, I'm glad you like it! I had fun drawing little TF's, it ups the cuteness factor a bit. XD
*cackle* Ah yes, the Fluffy Land Shark. The general population seems to be divided between weirded out and squeeing from the cute.

They find Crystal on the lightfixture. "Is it gone?" Grimlock burps Wheeljack panics cause he's not suppose to eat organics. "Spit that out...do it...spit it out!"

Zanne In reply to shadowedinnocents [2009-04-15 19:55:29 +0000 UTC]
Suddenly a loud popping noise, followed by a surprised grunt, is heard from the cabinet. A small foam-covered bullet goes scurrying out of the kitchen and out the nearest open window, leaving a pathetic trail of bubbles behind.
Grimlock: *trudging out, sporting a foam beard and hat, a decimated can of Scrubbing Bubbles in his jaws* Mouse gone, and he clean too!
Jazz: He's got ya there, Crys. XD
Crystal: *twitch*

No worries, I plan on doing many more TF-related creations in the future.

Poor Prowl, he really doesn't seem to be enjoying that; though Jazz looks like he's enjoying Prowl's discomfort.
Great work.

Well drawn! I admire all the detail you've put into this--the shading, the floating bubbles, the shininess of the bathroom walls, and the dirt smudges--even the boot prints on the ground! Grimlock looks so funny sniffing the soap. Jazz's expression is awesome--definitely grade "A" smirk there. Prowl's a bit nonplussed at the attention he's getting--most humerous for such a stoic character. I like Crystal's expression: sort of calm, yet curious at the same time. She has very lively green eyes.

Zanne In reply to zealousshadow [2008-11-15 19:28:49 +0000 UTC]
Goodness, thank you!
It always makes me happy when people notice the little details; you are actually the first one to comment on the smudges or the little Auto-boot prints on the floor. X3
I try to give my characters as much life as I can; I'm still really raw to the whole drawing TF's thing, so I'm still learning how to make them more expressive.
Oh yes, Prowl's not really happy being scrubbed like an errant child, but he's far too pragmatic to say anything. XD And Jazz is just being Jazz. *laughs* I see now why he's such a popular mech to draw; he's quite outgoing.
I think you are also the first person to comment on Crystal, either...double points for you! I'm glad you like her, and that's exactly the sort of expression I was going for.
Thank you so much for the awesome, in-depth comment, they are always appreciated! :3

You're very welcome! I'm all about the little details--anytime an artist is creative enough to add those subtle touches, they turn a single drawing into a whole story of its own.
