No worries, it's a good alias   It also inspired my Dr Strangelove quote!

 

Wait a...that's....you can't....how did they...

 

Optimus Timelord should be the director for the next live action TF movie.

That Huffer/Hoist gif is hypnotic.

 

This is perfect from you especially , Huffer's cab is like the TARDIS , it's bigger on the inside

 

Something was said earlier about walk/run cycles being hard to do. Personally I quite enjoy doing them (I've been doing them for so long I just got used to doing them)

Sorry for the sideways profile. It'll be corrected later

 

Well that latest video has got almost as many views in under a month as my oldest video has had in two and a half years! Thanks to all who watched/liked/subscribed.

I realised there's a few shots in there that I haven't Giffed (is that a word?  ), so here's some good ol' Cybertronian dogfighting for ya!





One of my favourite Skyfire moments. "Butt out, Decepti-bum!"

 

You never cease to amaze me.

 

I think all your work is fantastic but I really like how you captured the wing vibrations here.

 

Must be GIF day or something = P

here's two scenes from the intro I've finished this weekend
(by finished I mean the model work, still need VFX)




there's a third as well, but it seems to refuse to upload here. oh well (and sorry for the multiple emails people may have been getting from my blunders)

 

Both amazing! I live for these lol.

 

Sorcery!!

We hadn't realised Optimus Timelord was part of a pantheon but The Lazy Eyebrow Reviewer has revealed himself this day and we rejoice.

In Quake's name, show us more. Let your glory illuminate the lights of our optics!!

 

I know full well the difficulty of flying reanimations. This is beyond fantastic

Well done man

 

Thanks!

Glad you said that, it's one of those little details that I could almost have not bothered with and I don't think folks would have noticed, but for the sake of that extra frame it does add dynamism to the shot.

Hoorah! Well done!  

Cheers bud!

 

Thanks dude   With the right props to support things I find flying shots to be quite easy. These ones took far more work on the toon backgrounds (as there are multiple moving frames to remove the cell drawings from, as opposed to the usual single frame backdrop). I basically reconstructed the passing wall frames (with added motion blur) and rebuilt the Cybertron horizon (with added blur for depth), and then of course had to recreate the laser blasts to layer on top of my photos. Phew!

 

I so much love your work guys! Please keep it up!

 

For those who have been paying attention, you'll know I resisted getting MP Megatron (in the hope that a more MP5-ish silver version with old style faction logo would eventually appear)... Then he sold out and I didn't have any choice but to continue to wait... Then KOs got announced, all with the same deco...

Then, suddenly this week he's back in stock. I decided to bite the bullet; to pull the trigger, if you will. Literally the first thing I did (after making sure he was all present and correct) was to get rid of that squashed pink thing they call a faction symbol. And sure enough he now fits in great with the other MP Cons. I don't even mind the lack of silver so much in person (instead it's actually the lack of black for fusion cannon/waist/legs that stands out, which I had hardly noticed in pictures). But this is a great figure, and does indeed blow away the 3rd party versions, even with the slightly monotone colour palette!

Anyway, so here's one of those occasional remakes I do of old gifs. Apollyon no more...

 

Answering my own question from the other thread... it does mean what I thought it meant!

Congrats on the new addition to your collection!  

 

Such a heroic shot!   How did you get rid of the faction symbol without damaging the undelying paint?

 

I was a bit worried... Used small amounts of surgical spirit on a cotton swab to rub the symbols off (it takes a good few minutes of back and forth to gradually take off the tampo paint). Tested it out on the hidden symbols (that end up on the sides of gun mode) and that worked, so I went for it on his chest and am so glad I did!

 

Brilliant! And glad to see you with an MP36 OTL - now keep those remakes coming!!

Also, we talking surgical spirit and a cotton bud for the tampo?

 

Indeed yes, and some patient rubbing! I tried to just use really small amounts and keep it moving constantly across the whole piece using multiple buds (just in case there was any effect on the bodywork). Eventually the purple starts to fade, then eventually it wears away.
