For Razordragonfly

May 06, 2011 01:28

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.)

( Click for sleeping TC and itty bitty brainwashed minion. )

OMG HE'S CUTE :D :D I love your interpretation!

Funnily enough, even though there was a clear description of him being a jet, and the fic is clearly G1, I kept imagining him as a sort of movie Frenzy sort of deal. If Frenzy actually had a complex personality. I am a simple mind, so "crazy and small transformer" = Frenzy. But this is much better. I think this is what I'll imagine from now on.

I still need to finish my pic for the story :0 now I'm being distracted by a commission.

Actually the commission is distracting me from the icon requests, which is distracting me from the picture. A chain of distraction.

Distractions within distraction within distractions. You're like the Inception of distractions. I've been having that trouble too, all this stuff is bottlenecked that I've been wanting to do all year, and suddenly I can, and its like "EVERYTHING AT ONCE. OH WAIT. THAT DOESN'T WORK. D:"

Crucible was tricky for me to draw, because you can't really give him giant robot proportions- he's not one. But I didn't want to make him child-like or chibi-ish or anything. He's lost his poor mind, but he's not a cartoon.

That's gorgeous :D (Not coherent enough for a proper response right now, just wanted to register the 'Ooooh, shiny'. So very awesome :D)

lol, that's okay. Glad you enjoyed the shiny.

;w;) ............ That is so amazingly adorable.

I really like the way you designed Crucible. He's such a character that I love for comic relief and want to bawl about his creation.

I really like the colors in this. It's so.... peaceful. <3

I've been wanting to do fanart for FMY for forever, but then I always end up at: "sdfghjk WHAT DO"

I really love Crucible too, in the same sort of "lol-oh wait, that's actually really sad" kind of way.

TC is kind of a monster, isn't he? I don't know whether to giggle or cry every time he does something like hiss "Autobots!".

And I was going for peaceful colours, so yaaay. :D I was a little worried they look too cool, so its nice to know it worked out.

Awwwwwwwwwwww! He's so cuuuute! *puts fic on the to-read list*

swindleslog May 6 2011, 16:49:23 UTC

Oh, you really should. Just be prepared for some really sad, "Oh god noooooooo" bits.

fffffffffuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu~~

It's doing that thing again. Where none of your images show up. Not even your user icon. I have only ever experienced this with your journal. whyyyyyy

aogoagaodngaodg- sooo, I guessed the problem was that I tend to work in CMYK (for printing purposes), so I went to change it to RGB, but oh god. Oh god, the mangling. It is heinous.

I'm keeping the orignal CMYK up for the entry, but here's links to the RGBs, so at least you can see. But just.....blaaaaaaaaargh. If your computer stops having a coniption, and the orignals finally appear, all the better.

(So not even my icon pops up? Does it usually?)

astersyn May 8 2011, 03:17:19 UTC

Okay, I'm able to view the RGB versions. Tiny Crucible taking a tiny nap :D

Sometimes your icon is visible to me, sometimes not. I thought maybe it's the browser - had to switch from Firefox to Internet Explorer recently and, IE is really awful to use - but it also happened on the other browser. So I dunno what's up.
