Descripción de Chile y el valle de Arauco por Cristóbal Suárez de Figueroa

Hoy, 18 de septiembre, se celebran las Fiestas Patrias en Chile. La fecha, curiosamente, no corresponde al día de la proclamación de la Independencia de España (declarada oficialmente por Bernardo OʼHiggins el 12 de febrero de 1818), sino al de la creación de la Primera Junta Nacional de Gobierno, que juró gobernar el territorio en nombre de Fernando VII y conservarlo para él tras quedar el…

For people not on Twitter, Don Figueroa posted this excellent sketch of “Unkempt Megatron” -- Check out his original post here! 

I really love this design; I love alternative helm concepts for Megatron in general, but this is such a cool take. 

I think that “hair” on Cybertronians can vary in terms of design, some examples are successful and others aren’t, but this looks super great. 

The plating and sectioning of the “hair” here makes it resemble metal dreadlocks or thick plaits (and gives a sense of some degree of natural articulation when moving around etc. like how actual hair can move), which is such a good look for Megs, and the beard/’stache/eyebrows look great together. 

Hell yeah, I think this look is 10/10

Transformers: Mosaic #660 - "Land of the Giants"

Story - Wout Jut Art - ButtZilla

deviantART | Seibertron | TFW2005

wada sez: This Wout Jut strip survives on the Mosaic deviantART gallery, for whatever reason. Like Don Figueroa’s extra pages for IDW’s The Transformers: The Movie adaptation, this strip is intended to explain why many of the heavy-hitters from both sides were absent from the events of the film; the real-world reason is that the film’s production began before that of the second season of the cartoon, so many characters simply weren’t a factor at the time. If that little Streetwise panel looks familiar, well, it’s because it turns out ButtZilla swiped his own artwork, from his previous strip “Discrete Conduct”! Which, if you check out, you’ll realise was already swiped from literally the preceding panel, just with his mouth closed. Making this what, double-swiped? See below for closeups of the characters from the final panel!

The Transformers Corner - June 2004 - Sunstorm By Don Figueroa, Elaine To, and Espen Grundetjern

[paragonrobits]

favorite take on Grimlock's robot mode that I don't actually see done much; he's honestly kind of fucked up looking somehow

like, his body is disproportionate in terms of general art style. He's HUGE, and he looks kind of... wrong. Like he's got too much bulk crammed into a body plan not designed for it. beastformers might look weird in general but he has a bad case of it; maybe he looks like a hunchback, with his beast mode head and torso all crammed together into a massive torso that looks almost bloated, or like something screaming and grinding against itself when he moves

arms too massive to make sense on his body, too long, the legs of a t-rex reworked into humanoid arms that seem too gangly to move right, and his legs are just as absurdly bulky. He's huge and its in a lot of really weird ways.

he's not exactly threatening looking. Oh no, he just looks kind of silly. Oafish, even. A big lumbering giant who probably can't use most standard issue weapons because he's too big for them, or his body proportionated too awkwardly for them. His optical visor looks like its stuck in a permanent goofball expression; if he doesn't wear a mouthplate, he looks like his jaw is a garbage compactor a few sizes too big.

He looks too silly to be taken seriously. Until suddenly, he's not playing around anymore.

And then you see he's fast; nothing that big should be that fast, is the last thought of a lot of Decepticons before they're violently torn limb from limb. And then it turns out that those big goofy jaws still have a ton of power behind them, and he can BITE things into pieces without even assuming his beast mode. Those big awkward digits still end in massive claws, and he can tear things apart with his bare hands.

And all that bulk isn't just his massive beast mode configured into robot mode and not compressed; he has a truly terrifying amount of robo-muscle, and he knows how to apply it effectively. And you realize that the big lumbering brute moving with so much unexpected agility and even grace is swinging a massive sword around with the kind of technique no one expects a monster like that to know.

And you realize that he looks silly, he looks goofy, he looks stupid. He might act goofy. He might not care if he looks like an oaf and acts as silly as he dares. But he is not stupid in the slightest, and you see his optics glaring at you, and you realize; this is a smart Autobot. This is a very, VERY smart Autobot who's been thinking two steps ahead of you the whole time, and counting on the fact that you'd look no further than his silly mannerisms, and his weird bulkiness, and his bizarre design, and you wouldn't take him seriously.

Most people don't. Optimus Prime does, though. So do the other Dinobots (a name, you suddenly realize, could translate as Terror Autobots), and many of the beastformers amid the Autobots that respect him as an icon, and oh, so many Decepticons. Megatron fears him taking the field, and suddenly, you understand why the most feared tyrant in the universe would rather retreat than fight Grimlock one on one.

He's scary, he's goofy, he's a bizarre-mish mash all at the same time, and suddenly you have cause to wonder: how much of this was him fucking with you the whole time on purpose? And he just abruptly stops, laughs at you, and leaves without further comment.

(Basically I'm saying my favorite Grimlock design is this one by Don Figueroa; i tried to find a proper source but unfortunately it was originally posted on his dA account, which was deactivated

Gondor Girl Playlist

Okay, so my best friend @streets-in-paradise (yes, I called you my best friend; deal with it) already made an amazing playlist for GG, but I wanted to put my own ideas out there, so here we go…

1. Daughter of the Moon - Adriana Figueroa

2. Gently As She Goes - Erutan

3. Ancient Land - Celtic Woman

4. Savage Daughter - Sarah Hester Ross

5. Numenor - Oonagh

6. Follow Me - Celtic Woman

7. Touch the Sky - MALINDA, Conor Hearn, Jamie Sandel

8. One of Us - Heather Dale

9. Beeswing - Celtic Woman, The Longest Johns

Especially the line, “You foolish man, that surely sounds like hell. You might be lord of half the world, you’ll not own me as well.” In reference to the suitors in Gondor.

And, “if you don’t take me out of here I’ll surely lose my mind.”

And, “oh she was a rare thing. Fine as a beeswing. So fine a breath of wind might blow her away. She was a lost child. Well she was running wild. She said as long as there’s no price on love I’ll stay. And you wouldn’t want me any other way.”

10. Téir Abbahie Riú - Celtic Woman

11. For the Dancing and the Dreaming - Erutan

Gondor Girl x Pippin vibes. Like it’s not even funny how much this fits them. His want to be “worthy” of her and her just always loving him for him. They’re so cute.

12. Cascade - Beecake

13. Cad é Sin Don Té Sin - Caladh Nua

14. Nocturne - Celtic Woman

Love the idea that this is a lullaby that Gondor Girl sang to the hobbits. Lu, you are amazing for that.

15. Daughter of the Sea - Sharm

This is a lullaby that Gondor Girl’s mom sang to her before she died. A Dol Amroth lullaby. It’s been passed down in their family for generations, sang from mother to daughter. Boromir definitely picked up the tune and would sing it to GG since their mother no longer could. And GG will sing it to her own daughter.

16. Noble Maiden Fair - Ashley Serena, Karliene

This is a lullaby that the nurse who raises GG in her mother’s absence sings. Definitely an old Minas Tirith lullaby. Also a lullaby that GG will sing to her children.

17. Wanderers Lullaby - Adriana Figueroa

“The blue in an ocean of gray.”

“Though the world may try to define you, it can’t take the light that’s inside you.”

anyone in the vault, including jaylen hotdogfingers, tillman henderson, don mitchell, collins melon (all vaulted during the semi-centennial), and glabe moon (vaulted via blessing in the s23 election)

I've seen a few folks grumbling a bit about the designs of the Transformers in Energon Universe being very G1.

Here's one of the reasons I'm fine with it: art continuity.

Everyone knows what the G1 designs are supposed to look like. There is only one look for the character. It's a handy thing for a new continuity with multiple crossover stories with multiple artists.

IDW character designs? Depends on the issue and who is drawing. There's not a whole lot of consistency.

For example, here are all images of Hoist from IDW1:

Jack Lawrence:

Matt Frank:

Don Figueroa:

Agustin Padilla:

(Same artist)

Looks completely different because every artist is drawing their own interpretation. This isn't necessarily a *bad* thing, but it doesn't exactly feel cohesive to have so many different designs for the same character. Some have chest windshields, one doesn't even have a face mask, one looks close to his original design while the others go off, and they're all just different.

ST Commander is based off Don Figueroa Rolling Thunder Transformers/GI Joe cross over concept drawing.
