Can you give us the link to that Specific Fic you were inspired on?

😭😭It's this one by NeverEnoughCats on AO3, chapter three

[skyacya]

First part inspired by a very specific fanfic............................

I wish you the best of luck with college starting up again, I know I'll need it 😭

I'm gonna combust ༶ඬ༝ඬ༶ Best of luck to you too!

Heya! You got awesome drawings!

Do you still draw?

Thank!!

I still draw but life is trying to pull me through a straw while I'm wearing a backpack or something right now (ಥ﹏ಥ)

[skyacya]

No idea if anyone asked before, but who’s your fav bot to draw vs your fav bot in general?

Oooh, the seekers are definitely the most fun to draw - lots of fun angular shapes and their designs are just so gorgeous in general

Meanwhile my favorite bot is without question Square Himself, Soundwave...

Actually I got inspired ƪ( ` ▿▿▿▿ ´ ƪ)

[skyacya]

Basically the reason why I love this pairing - Megatron would be beyond devastated

I imagine it started with another of Starscreams schemes to get back at Meghan, but he realizes that Soundwave is a multi Husband Poll Champion and maaaybe it would do himself some good with better standards (meanwhile Megatron is obtuse as always)

[skyacya]

I'm loving that Skybound Thundercracker just wanted some progress and in comes Shockwave with the most comically diabolical dogma imaginable

Meanwhile Soundwave is going hard with the delusions

[skyacya]

Oh how I love searching for references when all the material available is 1080p trailers and clips of motion blurred action scenes please WHY is the best I can find either toys or ripped roblox models that look like they're straight out of a medium rare ps2 game

ALSO TRANSFORMERS ONE is SO PHENOMENAL ༼☯﹏☯༽

But the 4DX version is categorically dubious - I don't know how I feel about getting beat up by my seat, although it does make the fight scenes more realistic in some morbid way. Pretty sure I got some kind of whiplash. Never have I feared for my physical safety while sitting in a cinema before now, but I am now a slight bit more aware of my profanely ephemeral body of flesh

[skyacya]

Hey question do you do or can you do Transformers blades angst?? i can never find good blades angst :/ anywhere! please and thank you!!

Maybe?? I mean I like me some dark stuff so an idea might pop up in the future (｡•̀ᴗ-)✧

Hello! I got into transformers recently and I've been scrolling through Tumblr for awhile to find TF related content. I happen to come across your blog and dare I say your illustrations are stunning!🧡 The color choices and the line work is absolutely amazing.

You can say I'm a little motivated to draw some robots now—but as someone who only drew humans in the past and someone who just joined the fandom. I've come to the realization that drawing robots is much harder than it looks🤲..

If it's not too much to ask, would you mind sharing some tips or experiences on how you started drawing them? Thank you🦐

Man, you have no idea how much seeing this made my day (〃´∀｀)! But sure!

The general idea I use is to break down characters into their most basic shapes, fx Transformers Prime and Animated has super strong shape language especially compared to G1 where everyone are squares

Before drawing a new character, I like to practice my muscle memory by isolating these basic shapes on top of a reference image. To get that proper giant alien robot feel it's especially helpful to practice big, squareish shapes (though depends on the character, some have more fluid shapes similar to humans).

With the overall shapes you can draw your desired pose much easier because you don't need to think about details yet.

When you have the pose down, you can continue on with the details. These are also just shapes broken down into smaller shapes. You just continue to break everything into shapes until you have achieved the level of detail that you want. Everything is shapes

When adding details, it's a good idea to have a bunch of references ready. I usually just go through an episode/chapter with the character I want and take a shit ton of screenshots

⊹⊹⊹⊹Some general tips I have are:⊹⊹⊹⊹

Find inspiration from different artists you like and see how they break down the characters (and try doing the shape practicing to get used to the feeling of drawing bigger shapes)

This is a strange addon tip but hear me out, a lot of R18 tf artists are insanely talented, like to an unlawful degree. Welcome to the rust sea of sin, I would add recommendations but I am a coward

Varying lineweight is especially useful to separate bigger shapes from details, otherwise it can quickly look busy and messy (look at Alex Milnes art before coloring, there it is very visible)

Alex Milne also uses full black in certain less visible/high contrast areas to create focus on the more important details. It helps to create a more balanced drawing. Also helps to hide areas you aren't confident about such as joints lol

Don't be afraid to exaggerate the lines, robots have a tendency to look stiff

Do not fear the shapes, the shapes mean no harm.

And lastly, thank you for your kind ask! There are many ways to begin drawing robots and I hope this may help in your journey down the rabbithole of giant sexy gay alien robots (ʃƪ˶˘ ﻬ ˘˶)♥♥

At least Heatwave takes care of the grandkids

I have found that my favourite characters tend to be the exasperated parents who need a vacation. Soundwave, Charlie Burns, Dottie, Ultra Magnus, Agent Fowler... what that says about me I'd rather not think about

[skyacya]

Greetings,

hope you’re doing well.

Just stumbled on your holomatter designs for the rescue bots and love them a lot, could you please tell me if (me drawing) fanart of them is allowed?

Oh man those are so old!

But sure, they are loosely based off their VA's so if you add more details you can follow that theme (HW could definitely be a bit more gruff haha)

[skyacya]

Trick or treat!

(I'm soundwave:] )

Treat “ψ (｀∇´) ψ !! Here, have an opera tenor Soundwave!

Do you think that Jawbreaker go totally savage, sometimes, when he's really angry?

Headcanon: Tfe Bumblebee likes ghost's music

Oh hell yes

Legend has it that all G.H.O.S.T vehicles have mandatory local copies of Ghost, """for motivation purposes""", and Hashtag found out which is how Bee found them ╭(╭⊚‿⊚╮)╮
