I Haven't Been Able To Draw For A Few Weeks, So I Wanted To Post This. I Was Lucky Enough To Snag Tickets

I haven't been able to draw for a few weeks, so I wanted to post this. I was lucky enough to snag tickets to meet Peter Cullen at TFcon LA this year. (Bucket List ✅) I really wanted him to sign a drawing of mine. So after not having even sketched in 10+ years I really started into art again. I was finally able to make this, completing it just in time.

And Mr. Peter Cullen signed it!!

I can't put into words how much this means to me. I'm literally still alive today bc my younger self clung on to Optimus's words to get through each day as my life was unraveling around me.

So to have met Peter Cullen and actually thank him for, well, being him, my heart is able to continue to heal.

I was inspired by MTMTE with this. When the crew visited the Necroworld my first thought was "What would Optimus's statue look like, and how would he react?". My head cannon says he'd have just as many flowers as Megatron. And would probably react even more intensely upon coming to that realization.

I also see the drawing as Optimus literally holding my life (spark flower) in his hands. I'm sure that's something a therapist could spend hours dissecting, lol.

It is now framed, hanging in my reading nook. (I will show the other two amazing commissions from the wonderful Casey Collier at a later time).

Til All are One.

Ratchet sketch practice!!!

Starting to get the general shape, proportions, and designs. Honestly, I focus on what I want him to look like. The beauty of the comics is being able to grab references from so many amazing artists you sort of develop your feel as you go.

Anyways, hopefully I'll be able to doodle some cute Dratchet now I'm getting the hang out of these two old men.

Previous Ratchet now colored. Be warned, really basic skills going on here! I promise it will get better soon.

For now I want focus on figure drawing. Gonna try to work on lots of sketches before going all the way through a whole finished work for a while.

Le Bette, lil'bitty, the babe, das Baby 🦦🎶

I may have fallen into a rabbit hole with this one. I'm anxious, confused, disgusted, and massively falling for many of these characters.

Only on Chapter 27 but I'm already committed to seeing this one through. And hey, I can sketch an Otter! Since this story is so visceral in my mind, I'm hoping to translate those images into some successful sketches? We shall see.

Good luck if you choose to read.

I've been mulling over whether to share this or not, bc I don't think I did this very well. Oh well, here it is.

Ok, so Ninth by Kyn has been taking over my brain. At first I was not totally set on the whole theme. But it quickly became very compelling. This scene from Chapter 11 was stuck in my mind for days, so I had to get it out!

I still think I SUCK at coloring. So much more practice is needed. Anyways, I literally have a list of scenes from fics that I would love to reproduce. Let's see if my skill can increase the more and more I keep doodling!

Trying my hand at my Spirit Animal Roddy. Hate his face, but pushed through just to get some coloring practice. I like his right hand and legs.....time to keep practicing!

Glad a doodle during a meeting turned into a finished product.
