Day 3!

Favourite Iteration of Transformers!

It was hard deciding on what I wanted to go with, but eventually landed in Cyberverse! I just love the style lol

[palegalestudios]

Day 2!

Gotta draw my favourite girly, Starscream!! /hj

[palegalestudios]

I think I just wanted an excuse to draw as many WheelJacks as I could…

Day One has been completed!

[palegalestudios]

FABULOUS!!

We love ourselves a grumpy medic

Ink-Tober: Transformers edition!

Of you saw @palegalestudios Ink-Tober prompts then you know that day one is Your fav character!

My favorite character is Ratchet from transformers prime. I did a head shot because his body is hard to draw

[palegalestudios]

I wanted to actually participate in #inktober this year, however I wasn't particularly inspired by the selection. I'm into transformers, so I figured I'd make my own list.

I wasn't initially going to release it, but while making it, I thought why not. Even if only one other person joined I'd be happy. Also, cause this is such short notice, I don't expect it to spread too far. But if you wanna share it, you're more than welcome to

If you do participate, feel free to use #inkformers24 so they can all be found in one place, and everyone can enjoy it!

Have fun!

I’m not dead! I’ve just been doing more sketch work! I bought some construction paper and have been having fun with that lol

Anyways, we got a Riley! Been playing around with a a different jacket design to spice things up a little

[palegalestudios]

Ratchet never really liked Riley... in the beginning. Ratchet isn't really a big fan of organic species in general (in this au thingy of mine), so when Wheeljack arrives with a near dead human and an old decepticon torture mechanism attached to the organism, Ratchet had a few choice words to say in the moment.

This is just me playing around with that beginning dynamic, because it's funny.

Idk, I'm just trying to develop character for Riley, cause I still don't know how I want her to act as a character. If I want them to be extremely petty, and closed off, or if I want them to be extremely reckless and nonchalant.

Character creation is hard, lmao

[palegalestudios]

Not my best work, definitely need to improve on my explosions (and continue to work on my lighting :/), and the pose could use some work. But we got a Wheeljack! Did he cause the explosion? Idk, probably. I wouldn't be surprised in the slightest.

[palegalestudios]

A lovely Juno spread, cause we need some oc love every now and then lol

[palegalestudios]

I did some Wheeljack sketches :3

[palegalestudios]

I decided on what I want to do.

I wanna make my own Transformers story. HOWEVER, it is going to be set in a sort alternate universe, but still follows the lore (kind of). Why? Because I can’t trust that I’ll get the lore right. Most of my research stems from tf wiki’s (which are pretty vague to begin with) and ytbers who analyse specific shows and their universe lore, or how it continues on in the official tf timeline.

And there’s a lot of tf media that I still haven’t seen, like the comics, that I know would have so much story but I can’t access it. The only one I do have is an IDW series that someone has put onto a website, cause IDW doesn’t have the rights from Hasbro for the tf license anymore.

Honestly, I just don’t want to steer away from established lore too much.

I could also just be overthinking it tho. You tell me

But yea, if I am going to do this, the most that will come out of it will be character concepts, maybe short comics, maybe some fics, maybe even a pitch (which, tbh, will NOT be sent to anyone. I just like making pitch’s/Show bibles lol)

[palegalestudios]

Transformers oc story issue (I can't decide lol)

Idk if I want to plop my TF characters into an existing show/movie franchise, and follow their plots... OR if I make my own universe with my own plots and designs.

On ONE hand, plopping them into a show/movie universe is more convenient cause everything is already there. Characters already have established goals and personalities, the threats/antagonists are there and accounted for, universe rules are established, and there's story lines that I could kind of mingle my characters into without any issue.

On the OTHER hand, making my own TF universe means I have more liberties and I'm not limited to established rules, and I could make my own. I could do up my own designs for characters (you know, actually put my character design knowledge to use), give them new goals (or expand on ideas from other media), and possibly create new threats as well as Megatron and the decepticon legion. There's so much research I've put in both lore and history of Transformers, and there are some concepts that I really would like to explore more of, or put in my own ideas that (kind of) add to official lore, while being it's own thing essentially. But I think I might be biting off more than I can chew with that second idea, but you know what I mean. Idk what I wanna do with these lil goobers

'If it had been any other scenario, there would've been some attempt to flee, to re-join the contents of the forest and return to a life of heists and tomfoolery. To be free again. The temptations itched at Riley, and he could feel the adrenaline begin to trickle throughout his body, and down to their legs. Being stuck in a contained space for so long, they grew to appreciate the openness of the world, and the fresh pine scent of the forest they walked through. But with each small shake of the ground below, she knew that even accelerating her walk speed, he would always be one step behind. He, and his piercing gaze, creating holes in the back of Riley's head with their intensity. With crossed arms, and no ways to distract themself from his staring, Riley trudges onwards in complete silence, not wanting to acknowledge him in any way, shape, or form.'

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Still can't draw backgrounds, BUT I really wanted to draw a scene today. Or, I guess I should say yesterday, cause this took me 2 DAYS to finish. Definitely one of my longer pieces, and it wasn't because of Optimus, surprisingly. I actually got him done in like 45 minutes. But yea, more concepts for my story. I don't have definitive designs for the autobots yet for this story, so this Optimus is heavily inspired by Transformers: Prime's version.

Any questions (or suggestions) my inbox is always open :]

[palegalestudios]

Note to self: don’t leave drawing stuff in same vicinity as my little brother. I’m lucky the most he did was colour the tires and try colouring in Riley lol

Anyways, here’s a sort of panel, just trying to work w/ car dimensions more. But I think if I want this to work in my style, I’m going to have to push the motion a bit more

[palegalestudios]

Some more concepts of QC 'Comet' Gonna desaturate the colours a bit before doing the final sheet, and fix up her torso a bit as well :\

[palegalestudios]

Old women :3

Here’s a basic concept for Quickcircut. Obviously, it is just a concept, and I plan to do more art studies on Cybertronian anatomy (aka, an excuse to make fanart lol)

I haven’t got too much of a story for her, but here’s the general gist of it:

- She was apart of the Scout squadron on Cybertron, and escaped on a stolen Decepticon ship once Cybertron fell into darkness

- She crash landed on Earth, comms breaking on impact meaning she couldn’t send out a distress single from the ship. Landing in a forest, she begins to wander, trying to get in contact with something while being stuck on this planet. She remains unidentified for nearly a year, before her calls were found by some Decepticon fleets.

- After an ambush, she is severely injured experiencing a reverse issue to TP!Bumblebee, being unable to de-transform from her vehicular form. Riley has never seen QC’s full form because of this injury. (This is also largely the reason Riley sticks around, proving to be a great partner for QC in this state, still being mobile)

- QC wasn’t too fond of Riley at first, merely trying to stop them from stealing. When Riley pulls a really dangerous heist, stealing what she learns is energon, from a Government facility, QC merely kept them around as a source for her energy from that point on. She did eventually grow to appreciate the human.

Again, this is just an idea. If you beans have some suggestions, my inbox is open :D

[palegalestudios]

I don't think I want to post these anywhere else. Why? Because Tumblr is the only place (I know of) that my irl's don't follow me on. They can't know I fw Transformers /j Anyways here's a human oc concept, along with a Transformer oc concept (kind of). Here is a transcription, as I didn't account for the fact that my handwriting might be too small lol

First Image: Riley 'Star-Boy' Jones, He/She/They, 18 yrs Old - An accidental ally to Autobot Scout Veteran, Quickcircut [Earth Alias Comet, a code name for Riley specifically] - Riley is a government wanted thief, using their artist background to plan out these elaborate heists. - The main reason for these thievings, is as an act of vengeance after a freak accident involving their sibling. [Author's note: Most of what she steals are items involved in the experiments his sibling volunteered in] Now, she steals Cybertronian tech, in hopes of helping her new friend, and hopes to at least save someone this time - Riley had a dream of creating a comic with their sibling, which is why they are artistically gifted and an outside box thinker. She's also a tinkerer, his biggest project being his hidden rollerblades, allowing for quick exits.

Night time panel, Riley is resting on top of Quickcircut in her vehicular form: Riley: If you can't tell me your name... Can I give you a name? Please? QC: ... Only if I can give you a name, human Riley: Yes! Now, what one? There's so many... Hmm... How about... Comet! QC: If I can call you 'Star-Boy' then it's a deal

Sketch Panel, Riley is leaning up against QC as she draws: Riley: How close am I? QC: Star, I get you're trying to cheer me up- Riley: I know, I know! But I told you I could draw. I didn't say I could draw 'Robotic Organisms' as you say

I'm excited to work on this, and of course my inbox is open if peeps have questions
