Cliketh!
I can tell you right now that the quality of this scan isn't nearly as nice as the actual drawing even after I slightly increased the contrast in Photoshop, but it still looks pretty sweet.
This will be matted, framed, and handed to Alec when I attend this year's '06 MechaCon in August. I hope he'll like it. ^.^ Being my third Tfs-related convention, I thought it was about time that I'd share one of my talents with the voice actors since they bring the characters to life with theirs. And to show my appeciation, of course. This is also the first time that I have drawn the creepy tarantula, and I liked his Transmetal body more than his original.
Reference: Beast Wars Second Season DVD; opening title.
Size: 8.5"x11"

Oh, I don't think you'll need to worry if Senor Willows will like it. I'm almost certain that he will. I certainly do, considering your signature art style.

Honest-to-God, I'm still stunned by your ability to bring a 3-D CGI character to still look so vivid in a 2-D visual medium.
BTW... check your PM box.

Egad! Thank you so much, Outty! You rock!

*head bangs* *gets a headache and falls over*
Must... draw Rattrap for Scott... and... Rhinox for Richard...

LoL o.O
Ugh. I still hate how it scanned this time. Look at it! The lamo scanner didn't pick up the lighter pencil very well. Piece of junk. *kicks it*

Saw it, loved it, modded it up.

And many thanks again, CM! ^.^
Dinobutt? Who cares about that over-grown iguana?

Kidding! I probably won't draw him again until some time after the MechaCon since I plan on doing Rattrap for Scott. And that's because
I like Rattrap more than Dinobot.

You are really good at this......kinda makes me feel inferior, but it's still cool. I'm waiting for Optimal Optimus.

That's not why I share my work! >.< Please don't feel that way. When I see other artwork better than mine (all the time), it's inspirational and makes me want to do better.
But anyway, thank you!
I'm waiting for Optimal Optimus.
I haven't drawn him yet, I mean pencil wise like these. I've done a lineart with pen using my toy as a reference, but that's it so far. I've been too busy trying paints and drawing fanarts for other friends. I owe a few so far, not to mention some other fanart I want to do for myself. No worries, though. I've caught a few poses in Season 3 with Optimal Optimus that I'd like to draw, so the motivation is certainly there.

I'll get the big guy sooner or later. ^.^

The inferior thing was a bit of a joke.......like you it makes me want to do better, which I did today. And cool, Can't wait to him.

A joke? My bad. I couldn't hear the sarcasm when I read it. XD Sorry.
like you it makes me want to do better, which I did today.
You did? Awesome! Do we get to see any artwork?

Afriad not. I rarely ever get the time to draw......and when I do I don't have a scanner. But I do make transformers in Microsoft paint......not very good ones......but it passes the time.

No scanner?

Poopie. Ah well. I'll take your word for it.

You could always use a digital camera, set your drawing up on a table, set the camera on a tripod over it, and take a picture of it. It's not quite as good as scanning it, but it would do the job.

I don't have a digital camera either. I don't buy stuff like that because I end up breaking it in a month just like my flash drive. And my computer teacher won't let me near the equipment anymore.
