@dailymothanon

all pronouns are cool with me 👍 and my brain is highly disorganized My spam account is @mothanonthesequel if you have quick questions

Another probably-human-probably-not Soundwave 😌 maybe a holoform? well this might be the same Soundwave as my other design tbh. Just with a different fit cuz he’s fashionista/j; this was mostly cuz of the veil idea for the mask I thought of today 🤔 I thought it went hard so I wanted to get it out there. That waist of hers is insane

@chaetocercus has been enlightened me about marsupials and Soundwave w/ his little family and I can’t help but love it a lot 🦘 it’s very cute but also very cool considering how funky marsupials are! Also consider exhibit A: red kangaroo does (females) are also called blue-flyers because of their coloring! Blue mamas that are very jacked 😌 it’s only the best for them (also, apparently drawing kangaroos is fun, they have a fun shape to them)

Free son for Ravage, just waiting in a package for her!! Sure he needs a little bit of help with that telepathy/sensitive hearing of his but a little bit of fine tuning and love will get him up and around 🐈‍⬛ nothing she can’t do herself, mama Ravage is Very efficient 😌 I also wanted to draw more but my wrist has been hurting lately so I figure I need to lay off for a bit

Sometimes when I look at TFP Soundwave I just see axolotl gills (or just gills in general?) not sure why tho. Anyways this was mostly some practice and testing with another brush 🤔. I like to call Soundwave’s. Things… mandibles, cuz idk what they are but they definitely look like them 😌 the idea of him grabbing stuff with them even tho he’s got two servos and two data cables is comical to me, he just can’t ever be normal istg

The family 🤧 every time I think about all of the collectively they just make me think of matryoshka dolls 🪆! I thought it was very cute, imagining opening a Soundwave to a small Ravage to a smaller Rumble/Frenzy to a smaller Laserbeak/Buzzsaw to a smallest Ratbat… they are very precious to me…

TFO Soundwave face sketches just cuz 🐈‍⬛!! I may or may not have referenced cat pictures for his face . I’ll never tell. I don’t really know how to draw TFO eyes so I just do what I want, I think that’s a logical solution 😌 and no particular face headcanons this time also just cuz 🤔 overall I kinda figured I needed to keep touch with drawing faces anyways for whenever I wanna draw Not Soundwave (impossible to hear, I know)

Liminal spaces honestly always makes me think of Prime Soundwave 😌 but I’m not that good at drawing environments so this is also kind of a study . This is inspired by Ravimnaa’s (on X) pieces of Soundwave! Shadowzone must be so boring 🙄 he should just travel around since he’s got all that free time now. Do you think Soundwave is the Cybertronian equivalent of uncanny considering how unnerved everyone always was about him

It’s been while since I’ve made a transformers oc so I wanted to finally get to making one from a cell/telecommunications tower but also bug! This one I don’t have a name for yet but they’re very inspired by the Skytree tower! I was also inspired by samurai armor because of the several many cultural ties between dragonflies and samurais (and just generally Japanese culture tbh and cuz. The Skytree tower is in Japan) 🪲. There’s too many ties to put them all here unfortunately but I think it’s cool to read about it 😌

on the other hand I like to think there are a few insect transformers that are still huge while most are quite small now, just like how prehistoric bugs were huge 🤔 which is one of the reasons why I chose a dragonfly, considering how successful their big predecessors (?) were . The other reason is that I love dragonflies . Also idk if they’re an autobot or decepticon or neither lol I didn’t think that far

Had a little idea when I was out on a walk but ahh. I can’t really explain what’s going on I just think it’s cool. The High Guard/Command but creatures… Batwave, Bugwave, and uhh. Birdscream? I just liked the idea of how wings could replicate their look 😌 Soundwave was the hardest tbh cuz I had to figure out how bat wings work n all that. But they all turned out great to me! I just need to figure out their clothes tbh . Starscream must have one hell of a time trying to rest at night with how both Soundwave being probably-nocturnal and Shockwave being diurnal or nocturnal depending on the bug he is but also being a bug sleeps but doesn’t really sleep cuz.. Bugs are weird but awesome like that. Long story short it must suck being the only timely average sleeper

Cuz really what’s he smiling about 😒 thinks everything a damn game huh… that silly visor of his making him look so jolly and for what… in reality those two probably got Soundwave stressed so bad always 🙄 yelling at everyone and everything instead of actually doing stuff smh. Someone save him

A bird a bunny and a bat.. the three b’s I’ve heard so much about ( I have another idea for shockwave to give him an animal that flies but that’s for another time)

What y’all know about TFO Wavewave ⁉️ listen I was just looking at them and their colors really enlightened me 😌 even tho Shockwave is more magenta than pink but whatever . You guys get what I’m saying. “What were the High Guard doing all that time on the surface??” Recreating album covers, duh 🤨 what else were they supposed to do

I was missing TFO Soundwave real bad…realized I haven’t drawn or seen him in awhile but I didn’t know what to draw him doing or anything so I just redrew a screenshot of a scene with him it cuz I liked his little “huh” pose he had going on 🐈‍⬛ please tell me I’m not the only one who blows up thinking about him . He’s so precious to me

I’m still a fan of @suja-janee ‘s fellas 😛 I think they’re fun… smooth to draw too! Can’t believe Soundwave has to go thru the torment and torture of reading TC’s (Skywarp-Proofread, much to Soundwave’s dismay) writings out of friendship obligations 😔 listen, out of all the seekers, Soundwave can tolerate TC the easiest so even if he has to handle 200k words of yaoi every now and then it’s probably better than dealing with Starscream or Skywarp 😒 meanwhile TC’s. Addicted to writing well into the night I assume

Batwave concept 🤔… except also bugwave…. I wanna implement both of those thangs (because of how the poll went). I couldn’t figure how his face would look so I’ve come to the conclusion that his visor(?) Is his face 😌 (tho there’s a chance I might change it to a human head,, not sure yet) it’s just that he mimics a human by tucking his head in a certain way that’s convincing enough, trust.. as for the bug stuff? It’s more subtle I’d say, sure the exoskeleton is a clearer thing (yes that technically means he’s shirtless in this one, boy cover up!!!) but there are biological things happening that I don’t feel like explaining yet 😌 just know I spent a whole night researching certain bugs. For his bat side I mostly referenced fruit/flying fox bats cuz their slim faces worked best with him

I felt like there wasn’t enough obviously-bug stuff going on so I kinda wanted to give him two pairs of wings like bugs do, but I’m not sure yet if they Are bat wings or if they’re like bug wings that mimic bat wings 🤔 which would be preferred??? Usually though, in this au thing he’d have them covered/hidden, kinda like how mantids or beetles would have their wings flush to the body and typically seem hidden. Tho a part of me still wants to give him insect wings cuz it matches his usual streamlined body yknow?

I’ve been drawing my Human Soundwave always covering his neck because I always imagined it to be how he’d hide his non-humanness 🤔 not sure how tall he is yet tho. Likely very tall tbh, maybe his visor thing is the equivalent of a bug face (exoskeleton) ,,, yet is shaped like a bat’s head. If that makes sense

Bonus the line art just cuz I like how it is… since bugs are like the top dogs in mimicry I like to imagine Soundwave going in on that 😌 similar to how many people like to think Prime Soundwave looks like a sparkeater! Soundwave here? Mostly not human. But pretends to be and is good at it

Okay so I’m reposting my human(oid) TFP design for reference for the poll I wanna do but like, elaboration. You all know my other g1 not-human human creature design I did for Soundwave 🤔 well I was gonna do that for TFP Soundwave too, cuz again everyone in TFP was pointing out (especially from Ratchet) that Soundwave is no ordinary or normal Cybertronian inside or out. But it’s just that I can’t decide between three options to go with so I wanted to see what you’d all pick out (the winner may not be definite on what I go with btw but it would be a tremendous help with my indecision)

And also yes I do have ideas for each, and I do lean towards one option than the others… I’m sure some of you remember my ol’ post of my observations of Prime Shockwave and Soundwave looking like they have bug anatomy 😌 tho I still think all three of these options suit Soundwave so well that I can’t decide on which one (also if you had any ideas regarding any of the options I would be glad to hear them!)

Earthspark Soundwave pieces I did cuz I realized I haven’t drawn him in awhile 😋 I still hold the belief that since Frenzy could wear makeup clearly so can Soundwave 🙄 it’s just that he has that mask on so we never see it (also I just have a great appreciation for ES making Soundwave built like that and still giving him one of the deepest voice in the cast 😭). And for the other piece that was just a random thing I’ve thought about making months ago but never doing for some reason…whatever, I just figured yknow, he’s all about loyalty and being abandoned by the one person you put all your loyalty into; I think being betrayed must hurt him like many times deeper than to some others
