the transformers: electric metal zine is out now!! download it for FREE here!!! <3

HI ALL!!! back after a hot minute with my work for @transformers-electric-metal!!! it's SUCH a cool zine (it's tf ocs!! hello!!!) and i'm so glad i got to participate!! i did art And a fic for this zine, both about my old lady Bramble here, tho they aren't necessarily connected :3 just the same gorl!!

check out the fic here if not in the zine itself!! >:]c (and u can see my buddy @woolydemon's epic spot art piece for the fic HERE!!!!!!!!!!)

anyhow, here we've got the full piece, an unshaded/glassless version (mostly to show off the rust rendering on catbot / show the center bramble without the glass!!), AND a bonus original concept version because. uh. i needed three images to make the post layout look better ok 😭

(special thanks to @dizzyst4rs for helping me so so much with the colors for the corner and top center bramble(s), as they hadn't been designed prior to this and he did bramble's og palette!! :D)

further ramblys contained under a cut thank u <3

SO!! versions of bramble to be specific, clockwise and then center: earthspark (root mode), TFA thorn (pre-experiment), earthspark again (alt mode), botbots, TFA (when she's just 'the catbot'), TFA decepticon au, TFA (alt mode), TFA shattered glass, college au lily, college au bramble, and then good ol' regular TFA bramb in the center! just for anyone curious about cont or anything <3

experimentation has given bramble a pretty shaky mental state, with a lot of struggle trying to figure out what parts of her are really her and whatnot. so i thought expounding upon that by Also including how many different forms of her there are across the TF universe would be fun!! and an excuse to draw all of the TF brambles at once >:3

and also. i swear to god the lights were blue yellow and pink the whole time i worked on this. my horror after hours of shading to realize that my pinks had become purples....... unspeakable.

i have never put this much rendering juice into a piece before ever in my life. please enjoy Pretty Colors and how i painstakingly blended the shading layers together with just a pencil brush at low opacity like a clown

PLEASE tell us about cricket that name is so cool

IM SO SORRY I TOOK SO LONG TO REPLY TO THIS BUT OH MY GOODNESS I WOULD LOVE TO I ADORE MY BOY

fair warning, this is going to be very long, but i will absolutely talk about cricket

he's part of a world me and my friend have called the brambleverse! character dissertation contained below and sketch included just for u!

cricket is a centaur bard from the plains of the world, currently living in a forest town called mistclaw where he's the mail delivery boy and plays music in the tavern section of the inn for town residents and visitors alike! his best friend in the whole world is a little felvine named thorn, her and her two brothers (bristle and thistle) are bramble's kits

he has a menagerie of instruments (lute and lyre, mainly, as well as a panflute, ocarina, and most likely more), he sometimes gives a bitchass wizard music lessons, and absolutely loves tea. he's got special pockets in his normal everyday outfit where he'll collect little pieces of nature (pretty flowers, herbs, occasionally perhaps a cool rock) to leave at any temples he might encounter in the woods left abandoned long ago

he absolutely loves exploring anywhere he has the opportunity to; the forest, along the tabby-tail river, nearby villages, and even havengleam, the huge capital city where the queen resides. he visits the library there to do his own reading (mostly about old music he can learn and either regale people with as is or convert to the current era/change in his own way) and to exchange books people in mistclaw want or need to return

thank you so so much for asking about him it made my day!! i love my little man so much.

cricket misses the nomadic life of his old centaur herd a lot, and is kind of torn between both lives that he loves, but his aunt silene (not blood related) sending him letters and visiting him every once in a while when the herd is close enough makes him feel better :]

the time to post our finished Lost Bots Zine pieces has come at last!!

a behemoth of a piece, i included all but about 12 canon characters (”about” because 24k-Bit is technically here, in the machine, but not VISIBLE) with duplicates for the main cast as plushies! this was a right doozy to render since it isn’t often that i DO render a piece like this, and if i’d had more time i’d have smoothed the shading a bit more, but i’m still very pleased with how this turned out!!

everyone’s pieces turned out wonderful <3 reminder if you haven’t to check out the finished zine (for free!!) at @ LostBotsZine on twitter!!

extra note, the bot in the very center is Clawsome, who isn’t in the show, but seeing as she’s literally a claw machine that likes to give out prizes, i felt like she needed to be here helping out!!! i offer the show-adapted design i did for her as a bonus treat :3 (based mostly on Anty Farmwell!)

so. about a year ago in tff we started saying “goo morning” as a like. intentional typo. and then we got a goo emoji for it. and THEN we decided to make Character Goo Emojis that we still use :) i thought in honor of the gooniversary i would show the little guys i’ve made <3 mostly tfa with two tfa ocs (scout, bramble) and dimlit (botbots)!!

other server members have made different guys, so if ur wondering about any missing ones. it is likely someone else already made one so i didn’t have a need :] hope they bring u guys joy i love the goos <33

hi guys i’m full of hubris and decided to do an entire oc animatic attack for artfight that took me the whole month <3 OVER 5K POINTS SO. WORTH IT . BUT YKNOW. literally my most polished and intensive animatic to date lmao

it’s about @dzzystrs ‘ tfa oc scout (and her siblings) and my tfa oc bramble :3 had very similar struggles thru life so now they can be like . mother/daughter figures which is very pog for them . anyway this is why ive been silent <3 enjoy the funny little animation!!!

(also it says NOT an artfight animatic at the beginning because this version contains copyrighted characters! the version i submitted is different :3)

[bayheart]

two college au prowls i did on the trip for @beeprowlz :3!! traditional since that was all i could do ofc, it was a page but these r the best two so they’re the ones i show <3 a bumpy car ride is hard to work in ok prowl’s design belongs to them !! and. ig bramble’s (his cat!!) design belongs to me :>

[bayheart]

hey, all! so! some. unexpected finances came up (thank you for nothing, insurance), and i wanted to open a lil batch of comms and valentine’s seemed like a good way to do it (with some sizeable discounting)! :> it’s only sketches for this, i won’t be doing polished comms until likely the end of the semester! i’ll be doing these till the end of february :]

payment’s through PayPal, all prices are in USD-- payment is required before i send you the drawing! (also, yes, you can get a platonic ship, just make sure i know that it is one lol)

do NOT dm me here about comms, i’m not on this blog often; please dm inquiries to my sideblog, @bratchetz !! i will make a post for slot availability there also!

thank u for considering :> EDIT: closed now!! thank u <3
