Rather than add this to the previous thread with the work in progress images I thought i'd add this finished version to a new thread.

I've also included the Soundwave and minions update now with added Rumble, but thats just a bit of fun.

Hope you all like em, and as always the higher resolution images are on my deviant art page.

Many thanks for looking

Pretty damn cool. Frenzy coming next?

 

Yep - Ravage is a bit of nighmare so i'm completing that one in stages - so far i have the left forlimb done and i'm blocking out the body shape to match the new figure.
The Rumble and Frenzy arts are to prevent me geting dispondant about Ravage.

 

Nice Frenzy, I hope to see Rumble soon  

 

Very nice! You should do more.  

 

agreed

 

I'd like to see some for MP's Prime, Megs, Starscream, Thundercracker, Skywarp, Grimlock, Rodimus, Sideswipe, Ravage, and Red Alert.

 

Rumble looks great here.

 

One man's Rumble is another man's Frenzy. Great work! You kept to the style really nicely.

 

Hi There,
Thanks for all the glowing feedback - i tend to sit on the fence on the whole Rumble/Frenzy debate, the name on the two figures i used is listed as Rumble, so the file is listed Rumble for my purposes.

If you prefer to think of it as Frenzy feel free. As was rightly stated above "One man's Rumble is another man's Frenzy". Ultimately though we love em both whichever camp you're in.

In regards to the other Boxarts stated above - i have considered them all, though so far I'm considering the cassettes in the first instance, who knows I always liked the seeker jets, maybe its time for an update.

This whole thing started as a "i wonder if i could make something similar to a G1 Devastator Boxart for the TFC Hercules" (attached in case anyone missed it) and i must admit it took me ages to complete and was the most complex one to generate, so far, and its also the one i'm fondest of. Either way once i run out of cassettes to do - i'll need something else to fill my time so i may consider re-visting the other masterpiece figures then.

Thanks again for the feedback it really is appreciated.

TTFN
Paul

 

Wow, that's beautiful. When are you going to make repro box and cards in the G1 style using this art   ?

 

I thought i might make a desktop theme using the g1 grid and backing colours but thats as far as i thought i might take it.

 

LOL, I'll have to photoshop some yellow eyes for a Soundwave background.

 

You could always take commissions    

 

Yeah, I could take commissions but in the past I have found, people get annoyed when it takes me several weeks to generate a pic. Unfortunately the day job takes precedence.

However, here's an idea.

If we were to limit it to masterpiece figures (initially) and let's say if there is one in particular people want me to try. I'll give it a shot once I've finished the cassettes.

So let me know the ones you particularly want me to have a shot at and whichever one has the most votes is the one I'll give a bash.

 

Oh I hear ya. A lot of people don't understand life and work slows down art at times.
I'd vote for Sideswipe.

 

I do have Masterpiece Sideswipe - so i have model that will pose for it.

And i must admit i have considered it myself, for my vote - Megatron would be a good one as well though the massive fusion cannon/scope couold be an issue.

Frenzy/Rumble is coming along nicely - i may manage to progress that one more tomorrow, so we'll see about posting a preview once i've worked out what i'm doing
with the legs????

 

Frenzy - Initial Lineart and colour test

Here is how Frenzy is looking so far - not 100% convinced about the legs just yet - i'll have to see what they look like once I've finished more of the colouring.
the yellow panels are also just an initial trial as well, they need lining up properly etc - anyway you get the gist

 

man u got this style down and looks great. id love to see these make it to a vintage style masterpiece box.

 

OK a bit of an update -
The legs still aren't finished yet but i have worked into the detail a bit more - so coming along i think.

I'd also love to see this set up as a G1 style box set which could be applied to MP Soundwave et al, however, i think its unlikely (still haven't recieved the call from Hasbro).
