That awkward moment when Transformers turns into an episode of DBZ!

Personally I think its Bludgeon. I seriously doubt Galvatron is that small comparatively speaking. I also dont think thats Megs the more Im looking at it. I keep seeing a very miniscule and ******ed version of Overlord.

 

  @ this thread of comedy gold

I really like the Megs cover :cool

 

It's gladiator/early war Megatron.

 

I don't think there *is* a head.

 

Hm, good call.

 

I love his art work!

Whats all this hate?! He's amazing!!!

 

I think they're ok covers. Not super omg wow, but unlike some other people in this thread, I'm perfectly fine with that. They're decent.

The 'either draw with your heart or don't draw at all' is bullshit. It's a job, just like any. There's good days, there's bad days. There's cool jobs, there's sucky jobs. We still have to pay our rent and stuff, guys.

Replace 'drawing for IDW' with 'working at Walmart' and suddenly having a bad day becomes much more acceptable. Wtf.

 

Limited doesn't always mean the best.

 

I think they're cool!
I think Prime's proportions are a little jarring at first, but his arms have that G1 original toy feel, and I like his head. His legs are pretty standard "Figureoa" legs, but its always a good choice, Milne pulls it off.
I like the Megatron too. I'm always excited to see him with his Mace(s).
Not too bad. Should look cool when colored.

 

OK, I think the title here is a bit misleading. These aren't COVERS of the book. These are one-of-a-kind original pieces of artwork that are coming with your IDW limited book. It's not a mass-produced thing. Each sketch is hand-drawn and you own the original, not a copy.

I'm assuming you were thinking this was the cover when you posted this. If you expect to get an original piece of artwork depicting "the most epic imagery TF fans have ever seen" you're talking about spending a lot more than these IDW Limited collections cost, and that's just on the art alone. You're talking about topping a thousand rather than a few hundred.

And if you don't like the artwork, fine. But it's still something the artist put time and effort into creating.

 

Thanks for clarifying that, Caliber. You are correct, these are pieces of original art that will be contained in an artist's portfolio accompanying the book. I think the official IDW Limited cover for this book has been posted here as well somewhere.

 

You're not alone, I'm sure.

 

Thanks for clarifying. I thought those black-white images are going to be cover art, too...

 

The 'sad face' Autobot symbols on Prime are terrible. We know what the symbol should look like, don't interpret it for us.

 

Yeah, wasn't it a black&white version of the Megatron cover of the hardcover TF collections?

 

I think these images look just fine. I reckon you'd be hard-pressed to argue that a guy like Milne phones it in when you look at his MTMTE work. I for on love raw, unfinished (line-) artwork a LOT.

The reality of paid work is oftentimes horrendous deadlines, other paid commissions that eat up time, and like someone else said with reference to Wal-mart: everyone has an off-day every once in a while.

If you don't like it then don't buy it, it's a simple as that!  

 

Yep. It's going to end up being a silver on white image of Megatron.

 

I really like your art, Paul. Cool stuff!

 

Thanks! Much appreciated my friend!
