Finished: ROTF Decepticon Silverback

Maybe this guy's a little more boring looking than the Sinister Magnus I did, but I hope this will change things.

I'm turning the artwork up a notch on this one! Here's a teaser pic!

It's inspired by Gen 13 cover.

Cool drawing, but I think that's going to make the alt mode a little too loud IMO.

Yeah, but I don't mind, it's my goal to make him stand out. I treat him, like my previous project, as a canvas. Can't argue about taste, of course.

Project Finished, check the first post and please drop a comment!

I still think it's a little too loud. I would've made it smaller or more subtle.

The only way you could've made this any cooler would've been a Radicons.com tag!

While I agree that it works well, especially with the bio on him being a highly customized job from a body shop, and I can say I've seen some vehicles out there with even more over-the-top paint jobs than even this, it does kind of feel a little much. I dunno, it's weird. lol I think I like it though.

Great Scott! You're totally right. It needs something with RADICONS on it. What do I do, there's no big space left. Erase the 'TFW2005.COM'? Or a more subtle Radicons tag, small, above the wheelwell?

That I didn't think of that! Guess he's not entirely finished yet. Ideas come popping in. He might turn out to become even more over the top. Pimpin' Ride... O_o

I like that you still like it though, REDLINE.

@Satomiblood: I wouldn't expect the finished artwork would've changed your mind. I do, however, hope that the piece itself is not unappealing. I should make a clearer shot of that.

Personally, I would've put the entire drawing on the bed of the truck itself and left the roof clean.

fateastray · 07-28-2009, 09:19 AM

That was my first intention, but the bed's too small to put a detailed drawing like that on it. I knew it'd be a sacrifice, but I also intended the artwork to be the focus of the figure.

I now have two in my own trademark-series: Canvasbots. =P

Canvasbots, huh? I like how that sounds. Put the Radicons.com tag on the next one.

Very good work handpainting graphics. You've really got a thing for scantily clad anime girls, don't you?
