    Hi all,
    Further to my previous thread as it relates to the official IDW BW Sourcebook lineart (http://www.tfw2005.com/boards/showthread.php?t=169184); I've decide to post scans of my submission work to IDW in late 2006 and early 2007 when trying to get commissioned work for the IDW Beast Wars Sourcebooks mini-series. Enjoy! :)

    You're really good, but I gotta be honest with you. Some of them look pretty weird. You made the BW characters blocky, when they're mostly round. Silverbolt in particular looks strange. Your G1 stuff is great, though.

    Awesome work! I realy like the colored Rhinox. But on some the heads seam to be just a bit to large.

    Thanks for the kind words folks; much appreciated! :) 

    Thanks for the comments & constructive critique; I've had others say the same thing about the art style - I guess it's a matter of taste, lol. :) 

    Thanks, I agree that a few of the heads are out of proportion (i.e. Black Arachnia, Inferno, Tigertron, TM Prime, and TM Megatron). I tried to make sure in the commissioned work that was used in #3 and #4 that the heads were more in proportion to the bodies.

    I totally agree man, your colours on Rhinox and Cheetor are awesome IMO...

    Actually, they only rejected the work you see in this thread. The work that I got paid for and that was used for issues #3 and #4 of the IDW BW Sourcebooks can be found in the following thread link:

    Thanks!
