Heh heh, well, this picca idea popped into my head and I decided to go for it even though I've never really drawn a mech before, let alone colored one. It was an... educational experience... There are a couple of technical concerns that I'll now lament, for one, Starscream is a huge mech and so the water drops should be much smaller--indistingishable, really. But I wanted freaking water drops so I said, "screw it. I'll just make them bigger than they really are supposed to be." So, you must suspend disbelief a little here.
"What is this all about?" you may be wondering. Well, I was thinking about Transformers and how they appear to have very human attributes despite their mechanical bodies and I thought it a cruel, unusual thing on the behalf of their creators to give them the capability of feeling emotional hurt. I'm not very knowledgable about Cybertronian history, so it could very well be that they developed them entirely on their own, but I still find it upsetting, the idea of a living soul locked away in a cage of metal. Kind of make you wonder if there weren't a few who just couldn't take it all and released their sparks onto oblivion. From what I can tell, most of the 'bots seem just fine with it, but what if one started to feel differently, confined in such a cold, hard shell? I'm sure none of the others would understand...
Well, I picked out Starscream for this, one, because he's my fav, and two, because it seems like he's just the angstiest transformer of them all. It's the Armada version of him because I'm more well versed with that having no access to G1. *ducks thrown objects* I know nobody likes it and everyone thinks it's stupid and a herasy, but c'mon! That's what makes it fun to watch! XD

Waaterrr... >o.o<

I hate coloring little droplets of stuff... and in turn of knowing how tedious and long and boring it is... it makes the image even that more angsty! :D

Cool. :3

*laughs* that was the longest pic desript that I've read in a while. And you know... I don't watch transformers anymore... but my son obsesses over them O.o

This is incredibly well done. The water droplets are very well done (will suspend disbelief as you asked *grin*) And I rather like the bar of black at the top and bottom. It gives the impression that you are looking at a shot from a widescreen movie. Nice.

oh ya? XD I tend to ramble on and on and on. It's akay, though, because I like to read long picca descrips too. So, at least I'm not hypocritical, writing a frickin novel for each pic. :D heh heh, I like transformers *is a dork* I'll never stop watching cartoons!
=mistressofspam:iconmistressofspam: Dec 7, 2003, 5:30:38 PM
*grin* now now you aren't a dork. I watch cartoons with my kids every saturday morning. it's a family thing now. And well... my husband collects transformers. He has all the old original one's from when he was a kid.
