Tigatron & Airazor

Unread post by Optimal Optimus Primal »

Anyone remember me mentioning an art piece with Tigs and Air a while ago? Well, I finally finished it! XD

Tigatron & Airazor

Description from dA:

A good friend of mine, Jon Schweer, asked me to draw two of his favorites from Beast Wars; Tigatron and Airazor. And this is what I came up with.

I know coloring isn't usually my style when it comes to Beast Wars fanart, save for the real paintings I have done, but I thought I would give it a shot and give myself more practice with coloring in Photoshop. I had to make their optics glow, of course. :wink: I love doing that. I think I like their beast modes the most but Airazor in robot mode was the most difficult. I actually had to move her arm around to place it on Tigatron's wrist, which was different from the reference I was using. Still, I think it came out nicer than I was expecting it too.

The border has a faint wooden pattern to it, and I stuck those two green leaf shapes on the corners to add more nature to the picture. And touched it up with snow on the ground and flurries floating in the air.

Mediums: Ink, Photoshop
References: A screenshot and collage picture.

I was actually wondering a little while ago what had happened with this piece. Now I know. XD

It looks great! The glowing optics are definitely a must. The leaves in the corners are a nice touch to the natural colors in the scene. Despite it not being your usual style, I think the coloring looks very nice. Kudos as always!

Yesss... *scratches my head* XD I took much too long to do it but I was so paranoid about coloring and that I hesitated and worked on pieces (like Hack & Slash) until I was motivated. After that, I couldn't stop touching this one. :lol: Thank you, Moosey. ^.^

Awe, thanks, Jagna! ^.^ You're correct on both references! I really liked how Tigatron (robot mode) was kneeling in that picture and I thought it would be perfect. Oh, your dad's a photographer? That's awesome! I've often thought about getting in photography ever since one of my college instructors said I really had an eye for it, but I don't really have any equipment for it save for my two digital cameras that aren't the greatest. I know I've never shared any of my photography here but you can always skim through my gallery on deviantArt to see some. I've had one piece published (Mischief), so I guess I must have some talent with a camera. :wink: But I bet your dad has a lot of experience. And I would imagine that he wouldn't need much with Photoshop to tweek a photo. ^.^
