My OC muses have been clamoring nonstop lately, some of it is fic which is all kinds of yay. Some of you may remember Drumlin, my Terra Bus neutral. But for those of you who are new, he was inspired by a Transformers of the World bunny on the bunny farm. (Of which I've had the most abysmal luck finding again) And I based much of his appearance on ( Read more... )

*snickers* I'm more amused by that statement more than is appropriate, since he is the cuddly sort.

Fantastic design! It's always cool to see people use unique vehicles. :3 He looks like a very easy going fellow, just based on appearance that is.

Thank you. You'll find that 90% of my charas are like this, mostly because I'll see something and then wonder what it'd be like as a transformer. :) And yes, he is an easy fellow to get along with.

this is part of the reason you need to post more to Deviantart... i saw this and my first instinct was to click "add favorite". It's a distinctive color pattern, great choice of vehicle mode, and the inspiration for the robot mode appeals to my anthropologist background :D
It's great to see a TF with a body modeled on something other than a generic robot form or Japanese armor, especially one from such an underappreciated culture.

The lineart is simple but solid, without too many needless details; the same goes for the posing. If i didn't know this was yours, I'd have thought it was cut from a panel from one of the official comics.

You've inspired me to put more work into my OCs. Thanks :3

LJ lets you put posts in memories FYI, the text for mine is 'Remember This?' and is right below the tags. I know, I know, I need to post on dA more but I can barely keep my LJ updated... so yeah.

It bothers me that with as open and as flexible creating a transformer OCs is, most are the same cookie cutter crap. There are so many different machines you can turn into characters, and there are so many human types you can turn into characters, why do people do the same thing over and over again?! And the Inuit are truly under-appreciated, they've got some fascinating myths. I'm really lucky that a nearby museum has a permanent art exhibit of theirs. And I've been working on Drumlin a lot lately, his character is really starting to expand and develop beyond what I initially pictured for him.

Oh ffff, such praise. Thank you.

If I can inspire people to put more effort or thought into their characters, then my work is done. You're welcome.
