These things are torture to draw, my hat's off to Nick and all the other artists who work on Transformers on a regular basis. I couldn't get that blocky body into an interesting pose so I gave up and opted for a mildly dynamic angle instead. If you're a resident of Ireland or Britain today's the day that Nick's first issue of 'Last Stand of the Wreckers' is on the shelves. Go and buy, it is your solemn duty.
I actually knew in my head that your drawing would look like this. Its Brilliant, absolutely class Thompson. Hands down best of the lot so far. Well done
ReplyDeleteGood stuff Thomps, I like his li'l headlamps the best.
ReplyDeleteI just spaffed myself.
ReplyDeleteDid Jesus draw this...
ReplyDelete...because it's freakin' PERFECT!
Heh, Jesus
ReplyDeleteJesus did the pencils but I inked it.
ReplyDeleteThat is hands down, the best GIGANTOR i've ever seen... it's even got that signature lens flare.
ReplyDeleteNice work man. There's some rendering there that nearly looks like the intricate biro stuff one would do in school. I know what you mean about coming up with an interesting pose; they're very cumbersome so it's hard to come up with an eye-catching composition.
Jesus on a Bicycle!! Friggin Fantastic, I'm sure Orson Roche must be quite happy with this :)
ReplyDeleteYeah I'm with Will, this is what I expected, sheer genius. Bastard. What tool you using for that nice mottled spray effect? Brush or tone?
ReplyDeleteIt's just a couple of different airbrushes. The only tone in the picture is the sky.
ReplyDeleteBloomin' hell, this looks epic. Great work
ReplyDeleteYou're the real deal Thompson! Amazing light and textures.
ReplyDeleteJust awesome. Love the rendering techniques. One of the best Transformers illustrations i have ever seen.
ReplyDeleteIf my earlier comment sold this short, it wasn't the intention. I just had a problem processing how I felt about it. This is really stunning. I need to chat with you about Cintiq technique...
