    Design suggestions for Fenrir: Two of whatever faction insignias you've chosen for him on the undersides of the beast mode skin (one on either side), "something" sticking up either side of his head.
    Should be blatently obvious why I made these suggestions :)

    Wow :thumbs2:  , ShinMusashi44

    I have to say that I have been completely blown away by the Transformers concept?
    I'm new to the message boards here at this site, but I've been silently keeping track of your art for the last month and 1/2. Your designs are off the hook! You say that you are wanting to publish a story, where??

    Have you talked with IDW about pitching a story for one of their new Transformers "Elseworlds" comic that I keep hearing about.

    But seriously, great work you've been doing here! :rock

    You should highly consider trying this. Your work rocks, plus I wouldn't mind getting your stuff as figures.

    ShinMusashi44,
    I do hope to see your story soon. I only follow this one message board, and to be honest....I got lucky when I stumbled upon your thread. Do you have any art anywhere else.
    I don't mean to leave anyone out here. I've seen some great character art by many of the members on this topic.
    Personally, I can't draw a lick (wish I could) :( 
    I've noticed that you take ideas from the others on the message board fairly often. I'm new here but would love to bounce a few ideas off of you. That is if you don't mind. I've got a fairly vivid imagination working over here! :ev:

    Also, if you really wanting to speak with someone about your series idea that works at IDW.....here's just an idea
    http://forums.idwpublishing.com/cgi-bin/ikonboard.cgi

    They have there own message board that relates to Transformers. God, I hope I didn't break a rule by giving out that address. Sorry if I did. :stick: 

    oh, and by the way....I followed the link you gave.....thank you. Your really good!

    Someone else- Thanks for the info.

    And i've got a little update. Heres a wip i've been workinging on today. Im changing megatron to gigatron so it will be easier to write the story. So i was going over the megatron design to change him into gigatron. Im also changing the amout of hydra heads to 3. And he'll have 5 heads when he gets his upgraded form to Tiamat. Also after christmas im gonna start on my first kitbash of him.

    I already said at the allspark i like it. But i'll say it again here. Awesome work! After looking at it some more i think the eagle head should be more white and the feathers should be brown. But its cool, i still like it. And like i said at the allspark this really helps with a kitbash i want to do.

    Just make sure that the kitbash griffon's wing is more on its side. :p  I never noticed it until I went to shade it.

    COOL,Gigatron!!!!
    Now that's gonna rock!
    Shin, just to satisfy my curiosity....I got to ask. Since your story is based off of ancient culture mythologies......are you planning on spreading your Transformers out over the globe. ie. Fenrir would be in his Nortic environment, Tidalwave/Kraken would call the Greek Isle is home.....and on and on. Reason I ask, I was kind of thinking that because of their smaller sizes due to being reformated (Tidalwave being the only exception), that your characters would only be able to cover relatively small areas of the world, just as ancient civilizations really kind of stayed in their own parts of the world. This could work for you, because each story could be dealing with a smaller group of characters and could really help you flesh-out(no pun intended) your new players in a way that trying to include every Transformer in a single issue could not.

    Anyway, that's my 2 cents....for what it's worth.

    Also, I'm glad you liked the link to IDW......alot of the guys that post there seem to be involved with the company......artist, writers....editors!! So, give em a look.
