    FUCK!!!! That is real awesome man! If you decide to sell these let me know please?

    I wish a live action movie existed with g1 character in it. And not those horrible bay verse ones.

    You sir, have rendered me speechless with this pure epic-ness. Take pride in that, it takes a lot to make me speechless.

    Yep, sometimes it's tiring to repaint over again. Or worse, stripping the paint and then repainting.

    I feel you bro.

    Didn't the 72dpi and comparatively tiny size of the original images create problems with artifacting printing at that size?

    Yeah....and besides, this was something I was doing on a whim. I'll take more time on the other 4 projects I have planned.

    Thank you :) 

    Nope, I had large 300dpi versions that I scaled. Plus, with large scale print, anything over about 24" only needs to be 72dpi anyway. Most posters, even film, are actually 72dpi. Sometims they print @ 300, but the final render is still typically 72. It helps with scaling of imagery that isn't vector.

    Thanks! More coming soon... ish :)

    The one on the right is definitely a tempting repaint!

    I wonder if it would look ever better if the shoulder section was gold, but where that curve is indented, that section would be silver.

Haha, or in the case of THIS one, what Masterpieces might look like if thrown into a Michael Bay movie setting

    I want these on my Masterpiece Transformers boxes!
    Takara, make it happen!!! pretty please!
    Really amazing art work, Incepticon! :cool:

    I know to each his own and all, but I just don't see the appeal of that nasty gold knock-off. I don't even know what it's supposed to be. I just think it's awful looking.

    Not a knock at all against anyone personally, if they like it cool....I just don't know if there's something there I'm missing.

    Like repainting it neon green or purple or something? Cool, I get it. But that gold? Yick.
