    Well I haven't made anything worth posting (well TF-wsie) in about 3 years, but here goes.

    My first 3d model of Optimus based directly off the toy

    And my last real TF artwork back in '04 with two of my fan characters

    But I found this one that I think is more recent than the one above

    I now know a horse's legs don't bend that way but oh well ... I also learned that "Hearts of Steel" wasn't all that great. But at least IDW is trying new things :)

    Not my first TF 3d model, but from my first TF project (well, the second attempt, nothing remains from the first):

    [​IMG]

    They would have been around from 1999/2000. I did have the pretender monsters and monstructor, amongst others, modelled up at that time, but I started remodelling everything, and then again...

    The last TF model I did would be...
    [​IMG]
    I stopped working on this in early 2006, haven't really modelled anything since then, literally. Around the same time, I was working on First Aid as well...
    [​IMG]
    which I stopped working on in Feb 06.

    Edit: For some reason, my site isn't allowing the pictures to be viewed o_O  Interesting, it's never done that before (well, apart from when all our webpages got disconnected a while ago, but I can still log in and change stuff, which I couldn't then).
