Yippee

Something suspicious and ghostly is going on..

[hasmadara]

My Ghost King designs - minus White No-Face because I mean what else can you add to that..

Finally returning to my MXTX phase after 3-ish years, it feels very good!!

Design insight below:

For He Xuan I really wanted him to look depressed af and I hope I delivered - for all of them I wanted something a bit more practical and less flowy/extravagant while also keeping the air of superiority regarding their status. There's a golden skeleton-fish hairpin braided into the side of He Xuan's head :3

Hua Cheng I adore his typical design, but I just felt like making something new. His weird ass cape thing is meant to be like butterfly wings, and I cba to do the butterfly embroidery properly so rip. His gauntlets I'm quite pleased with, though.

Qi Rong I struggled with the colour scheme, and I'm still not happy with it but ehhh what can I do. I liked his mask in the donghua and went with the green peking opera masks - green characters typically being brutal, oppressive, hot-tempered and/or brave.

After over 6 months of depression and complete art block, ordering the 8 TGCF books (finally!!!) and getting back into MXTX's incredible works has ignited a small spark of creativity and healing, which I will be eternally thankful for even if it's short-lived.

I STILL ADORE TRANSFORMERS!!!!!!!!

[hasmadara]

Well it's been 4 months since I've posted, and 4 months since I've been able to complete any artwork. In January I went through a depressive period and since then it feels like all joy surrounding art has been sucked out of me.

This burnout has been a long time coming, slowly over the last 4 years I've been producing less and less, my inspiration fading away, unable to visualise what I want to draw anymore. I miss the days where I enjoyed art and could pump out finished pieces weekly, where I'd come home and feel excited about drawing.

I still love Transformers, and I know I will come back to art eventually, but in the meantime I'm putting the pen down. There's no sense forcing myself anymore

Thank you for the support <3

finally finished my screamer

[hasmadara]

My AU's Optimus Prime, transforms into the AH12: HC Helicopter from Armoured Core 6 ^^

(rotors can unfurl like wings fr)

[hasmadara]

[hasmadara]

Creamer WIP for my AU~

His comically large laser rifle is called The Crown and it's his autistic comfort item (Kurosawa from Armored Core)

My seekers also have thrusters in the shins instead of the heels, with a second pair below the wings, which lets them do the Armored Core boost glide ^^

(I like Armoured Core)

[hasmadara]

thank god another enlightened individual (beast wars enjoyer)

All must watch Beast Wars!!! We watched it as a joke at first because funny animation but after only 2!!! Episodes we realised it was actually AMAZING!!!

[hasmadara]

Some Beast Wars redesigns!! Annotations below :3

Edit: wow mobile quality is terrible, i hate you tumble

INFERNO

I went very heavy with the knight imagery, serving his rrroyalty!! Went with a mix between a trapjaw ant and turtle ant because I wanted a shield. He has dual flame-throwers on his back/shoulders connected to the ant-butt because might as well add another mix with the yellow crazy ant, that sprays acid (in this case flammable liquid) through it's rear!

Being grabbed by those extremely strong, extremely fast mandibles of the trapjaw ant before being blasted by a flamethrower to the face sounds like a wonderful time <3

RATTRAP

Rattrap I wanted it to feel like an Italian mobster, I think I went a little too on-the-nose but, I like it! He has a fedora-type helmet, with a lovely cigar alongside some hidden suspenders and I tried to make the rat head have a tie - on his wrists he has tools such as lockpicking devices, torch, other things ;)

In my continuity he's primarily infiltration and sabotage, with a heavy preference for explosives

RAMPAGE

Rampage was fun, I stuck heavily to his BW design but I wanted the mutant freak part of him to be more emphasised. So, the crab has teeth. And 6 legs? I gave him extra arms because it would be quite hard to grab things with those mega pincers, but also extra arms are cool as fuck. He also has spurs and leg-guns because, again, cool as fuck. I love how his biolights turned out!

I didn't want to spend time drawing massive guns but he does still have his rotating grenade launcher thing - it has all sorts: hellfire missiles, acid bombs, napalm grenades, and other nightmares <3

DEPTH CHARGE

Depth Charge was very fun also, I wanted his colouring to be extremely opposite to Rampage's so he has very muted cool tones while Rampage is blindingly bright. He has twin remora-shotgun things on his shoulders, and I wanted the manta to be more manta, less metallic. I enjoyed doing the gold highlights to add a bit of grandeur and elegance to him.

In my continuity his primary weapon is the Blades of Chaos from GoW :'))

[hasmadara]

Fortress Maximus redesign!! I've loved doing these recently, though I hate figuring out colour schemes so if anyone has any advice I'd love to hear nwn

I wanted a lot of angel/knight imagery to contrast with the tortured persona - a bit of a central-Europe theme with auroch horns, medieval knight helm (frogsmouth nyehe), gun-wings and of course the tank

[hasmadara]

Proper WIP of my Soundwave design <3

There's nothing like the terror you feel when trying to make sense of your own garbo sketches.. I may add Shockwave if I can be bothered to go through that again

[hasmadara]

I HATE drawing backgrounds!!!!!!!

I got sick near the end of this and just wanted it to be finished ;-;

I love Depth Charge and had so much fun with this design please watch Beast Wars please please

[hasmadara]
