Movie Kup (Updated) Finally finished my moive Kup concept. I thought a old beat up 1950s Chevy truck would make for a good alt-mode for the old Autobot veteran. I actually really enjoy drawing the transformers film style. I may try and do another character if I'm not feeling too procrastinatery.
I really like the design, but don't feel it shows Kup's old age. Maybe changing his posture around would help. Great job otherwise.
Good work there ! Maybe some signs of weardown or 'rust' ? Looking at your work...I remember the Icecream version of Skids : http://host.trivialbeing.org/up/transformers-20090505-ice-cream-truck-twins.jpg I think a cyan repaint & a new head mold would make that little bot, pretty similar to your artwork. Especially with the round shapes of the headlight chassis. * edit ; heh.. I think I might do a digi bash.
Cool! You should show this to IDLM, see if they like it! He's a very nice design and deserves a spot in the third movie!
I didn't really want to go for the decrepit old man look, like they have with Jetfire. I wanted Kup to be more like the grizzled old soldier who hasn't quite let his age get to him yet. Kinda like a Clint Eastwood Transformer. Like I said, this is just a rough unfinished first draft of sorts. I do plan on adding more detail like rust, as well as dings and scratches in his pant. Also if you look at the attached image of the head shot, you'll see he has a big crack down the left side(His right.) of his face, kind of being held together with a couple bolts. I was sort of going for the robot equivalent of someone wearing a bandage over a scar.
I'm sure it's true. Great minds think alike: Movie Kup WIP by ~Legend-of-Blackout on deviantART Old Bot by ~Legend-of-Blackout on deviantART Same alt mode! Btw Paxtin, awesome work. Your's is a lot more refined than I ever got.
^ lol I like that second one best. Yeah, it just seemed like an obvious choice for Kup's alt/earth-mode. Plus Transformers needs more retro cars in it.
