Transformers Mosaic: "Sparkbeat."

Richter · 07-30-2012, 02:27 AM

The Universe of the Transformers is vast, and populated by many characters. Their universe is a large tapestry, made up of the stories and points of view of countless experiences that serve the larger whole.

These are some of those stories. This is:

Love the art!

I like the art, and as a character study it's interesting, gives Blurr a bit of a classic Flash vibe.

But I don't know what to make of the mystery woman, and Blurr's Shrapnel-esque speech pattern is odd.

Mosaics at their best are breathtaking, but sometimes they feel sooo obscure as to have been missed opportunities.

I enjoy this one a lot. I would like to see this one colored.

The title and Blurr's stuttering kinda makes me think his dialogue should be read to the beat of a heart...beat, if that makes any sense. (baDUM baDUM baDUM -> canNOT canNOT canNOT)

It's a tad hard to visually 'read' everything in the first couple panels with all those narrow lines everywhere. Eliminate some of them, thicken the outlines, and/or add areas of flat black would help a lot; the last half does just that and is easier to read as a result.
The final "Nobody can outrun me" feels a bit superfluous.

I really quite like this one, though, especially since it's self-contained. While I'm sure the mystery woman is a reference to something, I don't think the lack of her identity is an issue. Blurr obviously cares enough for her to take a bullet (or three) for her; don't need anything else, really.

I wonder which cone head that is, he looks like a ghoul and undead to me due to the artist's approach to the optics. I'm going to guess Dirge as he seems to die in more continuities than the others.
