Not to my knowledge. Which is a shame, cause I wish I could still see the stuff on his account at well as if he's still doing any art in general. Really I just miss reading his art.
The same to you . Actually , I am looking for the one of his masterpiece , his version of Movie Universe Grimlock and the other Dinobots (from ROTF prequel comic issue 3 , just like my avatar depicted) , the pencil or inks of it , particularly .
I love this artwork (still in awe of that Cybertron Primus design and WW Optimus), i hope he's doing okay. Though in these times you can never sadly know. Again, hope he's doing okay and we'll hear something from him in the nearby future.
Are there any image archives of Don's sketches / work anywhere? Google is reliable but just shows scattered results with no source. Deviantart still has a few remnants from people who colored his stuff but that's it. I wonder why he went so far as to completely purge his all work.
Well then, I guess he IS hate transformers or transformers fan (mostly from the rest of the world beyond my homeworld of China?) in guts, or he hate them both. Or maybe he just got tired of fighting and arguing online. Either way, it's killing me…I thought after I got myself a finally useful VPN, then I could reach him…after 10 years searching for his social media accounts. Frak. Or worse, when I succeed in finding out his real media account, he replied: I deleted and purged all those transformers line work I previously created after 08, for my hate sake. Next to the transformers fandom and Michael Bay and Mike Costa is the Chinese I hate, so, yeah, I purged my transformers line work , esp the one you were looking for.
Oh…I just imaged and envisaged what would Don speak to me when I finally reach his available social media account and ask him for the line work of ROTF prequel Dinobots, maybe a disappointment, again.
You can check out his Armarauders work for some more recentish stuff (it's still about 6 years old, but better than nothing). There's a comic that might still be on Comixology, and he designed the Bellerephon figure.
I was looking at some of his work recently and just reminded sadly of how bad 90+% of IDWs output has been the last 5-6 years or so. So, so miss his influence on the brand.
I just found some of my folders of stuff from Don's time on the Armarauders stuff. It also features some pagework from his successor pagework, done by a guy I think we may have heard of........EJ Su. Done under the name Shadow Front. I lost contact with them all around them, so have no idea if any of this happened, though i strongly suspect the answer is a no. What's the best way for me to encase it in all in a single file so i can be sure it restores all aspect ratios, etc? Any have a good format that comes to mind? Or if you just don't care for this type of Don stuff, then also please let me know, so i won't bother with any of it.
What I wouldn't give to have Don Figueroa as part of Transformers again. Those War Within designs were my absolute favorite versions of so many characters.
Is there any freeware you could name that would do it? The other thing is, I don't want to resize some of this stuff if possible. Edit: I also think I have work previously unseen (emphasis on think, I could well be wrong, by EJ Su, and possibly by Don, it's hard to tell). I just saw the first miniseries is still up on Comixology, so I won't be uploading that. Just the second stuff by EJ and all the miscellaneous Don stuff I have.
You could upload everything to like a Google Drive [or something similar] and share the link for people to access. I'd be curious to see if there's anything I dont recognize! [I actually reached out to Don not too long ago through an old e-mail we used to communicate with. No reply! But i'm sure its just one he doesnt use anymore. Miss that guy!]
Oh of course! That's so easy. I'll try and get it done sometime in the next few days, but hopefully tomorrow. Do people want the EJ stuff too, or just the Don stuff (which could all be stuff that's already released, it's hard to keep track of it all for Armarauders, so I make no promises there).
Right, I've combed through it all, and a lot of it isn't worth posting, it's just his design renders of bits and pieces for the Bellerephon, so hardly exciting. The bulk of it all is labelled in folders labelled 'Private Do Not Share', so I still feel like I should respect those wishes, but honestly, you're not missing anything, it's mostly EJ's stuff, and there's not much of it, or it's been released already. I have got some clean pages of Don's though, so I thought they might hopefully count as an apology. Again, I don't know if they've been seen clean before, so sorry if they have. Hope these Imgur links work, the site was being a bit funky.
