You guys are the best! Seriously, thank you for all your kind words on this forum posting as well as the emails I’ve received from those of you who went out of your way to contact me during and after the competition. I spent a great deal of time sketching this guy out before I even considered moving on to the refinement stage. I can’t tell you how many post-it have little sharpie scribbles on them just trying to find his gesture. And those two shoulder towers and the cone-head was a beast to find the least bit or rhythm. At any rate, this is what’s gonna happen… you guys will be able to find me in the posting in the Fan Art section from this point forward. I love drawing robots more than anything and given this response I think you guys want to see more. So, from the bottom of my heart thank you. Now I’m off to do some toy hunting … Be Well, Ian
Another unsung, but fabulous entry...I feel that you certainly made the conehead design a unique entity, with the awesome way you placed the wings and the way the face design seems creepy--but in a good way of arousing fear among both Autobots and human alike.
Honestly I don't know why this isn't in the finals... Firstly this is very professionally executed, as a trained concept artist I notice that you've got a very good understanding of structures and form, and you're not placing unnecessary parts on this bot just for visual effects. I'm kind of shocked as to why you're not in the finals... But still, I'd LOVE to see more work from you, do you have a deviantart page or blogger? Mine's 343GuiltySpark on deviantART and I hope I can see more of your fantastic works soon!!!
Dude! Like I said Mit Gas's thread I don't understand why your ramjet didn't make it in there. I was expecting you and Mit Gas to be in the top ten and to be very hard to beat, but now I am puzzled and confused. I'm planning to be doing more transformers art very soon and I hope to see more from you my friend.
For a second, I almost thought you lied when you said you made that. That thing looks like something straight from the concept art table man! That thing is GENIUS! I love it! If it had been in the finals, I would have voted it over Wheeljack ANY DAY (although Wheeljack would be a cool guy to have in the last one)! I love the detail you put into it, and the color you've chosen. Great work man. Awesome. If you can, PLEASE do more movie-verse designs. You have a talent.

Wow, that is the best movie style conehead-seeker design I have seen. Definitely looks like something made for the movie.
