Painting more robots today. :D
Energon Refinery
was workin on some environments and one of them was a new pre-war robot thing!
Got out of my painting funk with sum Arcee :}. and to try something new, it comes in shirt form!
Here’s the process from last night’s stream:
Videos Postponed
Hi everyone!
I figured I’d make an update to this rather than leave you all in the dark. I’ve kind of been in a garbage place creatively for a few months now and feel it may be best to postpone the tutorial videos until I gather my bearings again and get back into the habit of making art I enjoy. I may revisit them when I feel a bit less crappy, I’m not sure.
Regardless, please feel free to ask any questions and I can get to them in text form like I did before. I’ll still see if I can record some time lapses or set up streams in the meantime.

I´m wondering... where do yo start with a design for a transformer? with the alt-mode? or with the robot-mode?
Hi there!
I try to nail down the character of the robot mode first, actually!
I generally have a rough idea of what the vehicle is going to be (ie. a jet, a car, etc.), so I know to include wheels or wings or something like that, but the most important thing is making sure their personality shows through.
Re: Transformations, you can also kind of beef it a little as long as the proportions seem right and you have a rough idea of how stuff would fit together.
In the end, Transformers is more of a science fantasy story than hard sci fi, so the mechanics don’t have to be hyper-accurate, just convincing enough so it seems like it can work.

You're a really big inspiration to me ❤️ I love your painting of tarn video, you've helped me a lot! I hope all the best for you, you're great
Thanks so much anon. :) I’m really glad to hear it was of some help to you. More is on the way!
Here’s a super quick sketch I did while testing out a new tripod and stuff for tutorial/demos (before the camera battery ran out whoOPS). There’s still some things I gotta work on so bear with me here.
Thanks for being patient. :)
‘touching up an old piece’ means completely reworking it in my terrible brain so have a much sparklier and more detailed version of the pre-war energon refinery from ages long past.
paintin’ more robots
I’m putting together a series of TF-focused painting tip vids for the next upcoming couple of weeks, but I’m curious what people would be most interested in! I’ll be delving into the topics I covered in the Tarn vid but in more detail.
Stuff like Composition, Lighting, and Gesture (posing, expressions) and other things if I can think of them.
What do you think should be explored first or would like to see me cover?
