Long overdue! This is fanart for Razordragonfly's 5 million years. Because it is an excellent fic,
found here, if you are so inclined. (Hint: You should be.)
So I have been meaning to do Razordragonfly some fanart for aaaaaaaaages, and my original sketches were for Fear of Falling, actually. Still going to do those, but that was back in September, so they really need to be redrawn. In the mean time, I have been wanting to draw a concrete idea of what Crucible looks like (little minion for Thundercracker. I won't say more for those who haven't read it, he's an OC, and I quite like him).
Skywarp's impression of him was that he figured he was some sort of jet, but not a tetrajet like he or most of the other mechs he knew. Thrusters and wings were in the wrong spots. So I'd guess that Crucible looks very much like a seeker, but a little off. I just took that and ran with it, sticking the thrusters on the sides of his legs, changing up the feet only slightly, different helm (though still seekerish at a glance), and longer, more slender wings. I picture him sort of having his tail-winglets back there too, and have for a long time. Prime-scream was kind of a tee-hee for me, because his were set up that way. Considering I had that to suggest the little people (fairies, brownies, etc), Primescream having them was titillating.
Anyway, here we are! The scene was Skywarp waking up after actually becoming Skywarp (i.e., getting the teleporting technology upgrade), and finding Thundercracker, who ranks waaaaaaay above him and who he has been having a bit of a relationship with, conked out on his floor, pretty much as seen here. The peacefulness and vulnerability of that scene, and just the sense of trust was really sweet to me, and stuck out, so I drew it.
This is for you Razordragonfly! Thank you for a seriously awesome amount of fic!
Ooop, and one last bit.
Here's a bigger shot of Crucible, since he's too itty bitty to see in the final image.
He makes me daaaw. Itty bitty bots, itty bitty naps!
