Movies make things too complicated....

[luco]

Never again am I drawing Transformers!

....

...well at least not with a less then one week deadline that also includes another picture as well >_<

But! I've got him drawn and inked!! It only took 12 hours and killed my hand but hey it's done! Now I can colour, after inking Barbie...

Anyways, thought I would share what he looks like now. Don't expect accuracy >>; It's to please a 10 year old boy, not a true fan.

Oh and THANK YOU SO MUCH both devlinnreiko and misskalloway

Dude, he looks awesome!

[luco-millian.livejournal.com]

So I didn't completely fail? Thank you!!

[yukinoomoni.livejournal.com]

Whoa, that is some AMAZING detail. Phew, it must have been exhausting!

[luco-millian.livejournal.com]

Oh it was! My poor hand is not use to that much traditional inking ;___; But I need to get it back in shape for comic stuff!!

[devlinnreiko.livejournal.com]

OOOOOOOOOOOOO! Very nice!!!!!!! Detail is awesome (as always)!!!!

This pleases me, nevermind a 10 year old! LOL


P.S: I know I always ask, but did the card arrive?

[luco-millian.livejournal.com]

Card arrived and is BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!!!! *loves it*

And well, if you are pleased then the kid will probably be thrilled ^__^

[elmina.livejournal.com]

That is one kick-ass mecha picture.

Mind you, we're not into Transformers but more of Gundam and other stuff like that. I don't know anything about accuracy, but I know all about robots looking awesome!

[luco-millian.livejournal.com]

YEAH!!!!! I did good then! Actually...always wanted to draw a Gundam but was too scared to try...I guess now I have no excuse >>

[beckyh2112.livejournal.com]

Very awesome! Also, wow, so much detail. I'm surprised you put in so much effort. But now you can add "draws robots" to your skill-list! (Drawing Bayverse Transformers is a PITA.)

[luco-millian.livejournal.com]

Thanks! And well, after people went to all the effort of getting me reference, it just wouldn't have been right if I hadn't put in some work.

But yes, this is now one of my skills!

[beckyh2112.livejournal.com]

True! It just seems like- Okay, I can't actually say that TF fanartists simplify them, since most of the Bayverse art I have is character concept stuff where design-simplication is contrary to the point.

I lost my point somewhere. Whatever. I cease babbling now. Have an Entrapment Barricade.

[luco-millian.livejournal.com]

I'll admit that I like driving myself insane with details and such...It's also helping me prepare for some steampunk art that I've got planned...so many little parts and designs >__<

....now that...is terrifying...

[beckyh2112.livejournal.com]

Oooh, details. <3 (Hey, babe, if you are interested in doing more robots, I am totally all for giving you money. ;-)

I adore the lighting and mood in that piece. Wayward really knocked it out of the park.

[luco-millian.livejournal.com]

As long as I have decent reference I wouldn't mind doing it at all! ^___^ Just not till near the end of November...

It really accomplishes what it set out to do! I was freaked out.

[beckyh2112.livejournal.com]

Bug me if you're still interested by then. I can dig up tons of references for just about anyone canonical. And commissions make nice Christmas gifts!

[luco-millian.livejournal.com]

I will have to do so since I truly enjoy drawing for you ^____^

[restrainedchaos.livejournal.com]

Hot. Damn.

[luco-millian.livejournal.com]

It pleases me how many people approve of this ^___^

[white_aster]

alsikdjfl;asjfklasj jeebus, Luco, he's AWESOME. :D You drew all his bits. All of them. :swoon: Seriously. Awesome. :D

[luco-millian.livejournal.com]

*laughs* And here I was worried that people wouldn't like him because he was rushed and all I'm getting is love ^____^

I am so very amused!

[white_aster]

No, see, other artists usually fudge a lot of the bits. To, y'know, save their hands and sanity. But not you! You drew him so wonderfully detailed. :D He's great.

[luco-millian.livejournal.com]

I understand that saving of the hand bit...mine is still pretty tender and I still have to get him and the Fairy Barbie coloured by Saturday afternoon >__<

....although, I'll admit, he was fun and very satisfying to do.

[white_aster]

:D If he wasn't a gift, I'd Tumblr him for all...three of my followers to see. :P

[luco-millian.livejournal.com]

If you want to, go for it. The lady who asked for them doesn't mind if even prints are made later, so long as the kids get the first and know that it was made for them ^^;

Oh and what is Tumblr? I'm constantly told to get one >>

[white_aster]

Yay! Thanks!

Tumblr is a microblogging platform. It's like LJ, but with more support for sharing small things, or pictures, or videos, and such than for long texty things (though you can use it for longer texty things). You can follow people, and their feeds are compiled on a Friendslist type thing (Dashboard) that you can scroll through. Lots of people in fandom use it for throwing pictures about. You can easily reblog stuff that you see on others' tumblrs, so there's a lot of fast and furious reposting of things. It's also very easy to scroll through and look at a lot of posts (the page does an endless scrolling thing), so I mostly use it for fanart.

Some other folks use it for RP, but to be honest I think that it's a crappy platform for that and don't know why folks insist on doing it.

Mine is here, if you want to see what it often looks like. There's also a tagging system (FF7 tag that you can view.
