Prompt table nabbed from nightwind69

My attempt to do this prompt table as well... If I can even get ONE done, I'd consider that a success. xD ... Well, let's see if I _CAN_ get any done... :/

( table of prompts under cut )

Okay.... for better or for worse... my art's all done, scanned, and has now been sent off... Here's seeing what'll come of it. ^_^;

Now just to figure out/fix the problem with why I can't seem to log into the IDW forums... c.c;

No spoilers - per se - in this entry... but spoilers in comments, most likely.

SQUEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!! Zomg zomg AWESOME wonderful, fantastic, incredible, beautiful, funny! heart-rendering(breaking!!) fulla awesome joy happy happy fun time!! Action start to end, cute scenes, cute scenes!! Funny witty banter! X3 Lovely 'bots.... *___* <3

Bumblebee is so CUTE! I got shivers when we saw him in robot mode, in that junkyard scene, for the first time. X3 And, during the final battle, that little lifting of his 'battle mask' peek? Far too cute!! XD Prime's wonderful! Warm, strong, wow! Others oh-so-awesome! Would'a liked to see some more character development from Con side... thoguht some of what we were given was good (Frenzy headbutt screen FTW! XD). Bots had some good character bits, but a bit more in the next movie - fleshing out more of the character - would be welcome. ^_^

Edge-of-your-seat stuffs!! Wish a guy in the back of the theater would have shut UP at some points early on, but... meh. He shut up in the end. OMG... ENDING!! No sacrifice, no victory indeed...! T___T *sobsobWAAAH!* There HAS to be a way to 'fix' some things... Already I have a little bunny knawing at my mind about an idea... however farfetched.

So way cool, so awesome.... Loved it... LOVED it! :D Will see again, DEFINATELY! *__*

Something for my friends-list to be wary of... Picked up a couple of the movie TF toys yesterday: Jazz, Bumblebee, Barricade and Blackout. Jazz, Barricade and Blackout are all awesome.

Bumblebee, on the other hand... has an unfortunate design flaw. D:

There's this little 'button' on his hood, which is supposed to flip it down. Said button didn't want to work on my toy. Robot mode is awesome. No problems there. But trying to get it BACK to car mode...? Hood doesn't want to snap back into place, no matter how much I jostle it! D:

So I had to return it. If anyone else is having this problem, I suggest you return your toys, too. I'm not the only one who's had this problem. Hopefully, this is just some random glitch, but I don't think so. This is some sort of design flaw. But if enough people who find this defect turn the toy back in, hopefully Hasbro will figure out what's gone wrong, and correct it.

Too bad... because the robot mode is awesome. The hood just will NOT click back into place. T__T

Mega-iconage time! :3

Set One are all icons I've made and posted before, only this time they're on a (hopefully!) permanent server. Set Two is a completely new set of 100 TF icons. I still ask that you kindly credit me if you use any of these icons. And please save them to your own computer -- no hotlinking.

Most of these images I snagged from seibertron.com. Some images (and a few early caption ideas) I grabbed from nightwind69's page, the Transfan Asylum. Some images came from other random TF sites, and I've used one piece of Dreamwave artwork for one of the Ultra Magnus icons.

Most of these are Autobot-focused. I'm not sorry, I'm a big-time Autobot fan. X3 BUT, there are random Decepticon icons scattered about all these posts, as well. :)

A BIG thank you to straya, for animating two of the icons for me, in the 2nd set. :D

A fair number of these were made for, or intended for use in various LJ role-playing journals. Some special cases include many of the Red Alert icons that are being used (or have been used) in my TFBlogs journal, panicbutton_05. The First Aid icons were made specifically for tirya56, for her TFblogs journal 1st_aid_kit. If you're going to use any of these, I request that you please ask for permission from their respective players, first.

Icons are arraged in alphabetical order of file name.

Naturally, there are a LOT of icons in each post. Dial-up users beware. Please allow the page(s) to load fully.

Finally finished the inks on my Red Alert & Inferno pic... The pic is behind the cut.

I'm really liking how it's turning out. ^_^ However, like any artist, I'm wincing at all the errors I can see in it. @_x;; Things are slightly out of proportion... the angles/positions of some limbs probably wouldn't really work out/are implausible... (Inferno's got no @#($&@ fraggin' KNEE JOINTS!!) I probably should have put a 2-point perspective on this. x.x; The battle of how much detail to put into this. Well, you get the idea. :P

If I do a traditional media colouring job on this, I'll HAVE to re-transfer this to new paper, as I farked up on Red's legs, and had to take white-out to it. X(

One of the BIGGEST things I'm wincing at is Inferno's head/helm sculpt. In "Auto Beserk", "Kremzeek" as well as a few other episodes possibly, his helm Looked Like This! This, essentially, is the same as Grapple's head design (understandable, as Inferno is a repaint of Grapple). HOWEVER, his toy desgin, as well as his appearance in (some?) comics and other cartoon episodes ("Search for Alpha Trion", "Child's Play" and others), had THIS Helm Design

So.... Argh. I don't know what to do. @__x; I don't know which helm design is more 'accurate' to Inferno. I drew him, here, with the helm he had in Auto Berserk (as it's the only refrences I used when I first doodled this up x.x) So... do I REDRAW this bit, and give him the toy/toon/comic? accurate helm design... or do I leave it as is? x.x

(and this is completely ignoring the earlier points I mentioned x.x)

Also thinking about throwing this up on DevArt... Should I?

And just in case you missed it, warning those that don't like this thing again... Transformer SLASH behind the cut! Don't like, don't click! :P

Picked up TF #4 today... I'm loving this so far. Started off slow, but it's starting to pick up the pace, now!! *_* ... And I always seem to be getting the covers done by Guido Guidi... ^.^; Issue 0 was E.J. Sue's cover, but since then... they've all been Guido's covers. ^_^;; .... and hey, straya...? Your letter was printed! XD

On FY:Genbu Kaiden... really enjoying this, too. It's neat to see the "first" story of the 'Four Gods'... and the characters are really engaging. :3 Takiko is a neat character, Tomite's amusing. xD Hatsui... hah... cute. XD And Namame... *_* OMG CUTE! Really cool, too.... (I admit I'm a little biased, or at least was looking/anticipating in seeing who Namame was... as I took a "which constellation were you born under" thing a while back... and I apparantly was born in "Namame", so.... Heh. Nowhere NEAR anything I anticipated... but way cool... :D)
