So, in the midst of drawing transformers, I got it in my head that I must turn it into a character design project and start making human designs.

Naturally, I start with my favorites. Which is Blitzwing, Astrotrain, and my beloved OC, Smokestack. More about them HERE and HERE

Smokestack's human design came instantly. Then he became a kid so I could have Blitzdad. Then I started crafting backstories, and it became a whole thing. I'll make another post to get into more detail with that.

More notes under the cut.

Overall, this managed to escalate into something separate from transformers and these are now all OCs in their own right.

Gunther Arnold Kriegsler, aka "Blitz" or "Blizter". He's a veteran with PTSD, particularly from the time he spent as a prisoner. He escaped with the help of Andrei Tomaski. The two are now best bros and roommates. Then social worker people call and tell Blitz that his now-deceased girlfriend had a kid while he was away, so now he's suddenly a dad of a four year old son he didn't know he had. And he doesn't really know what to do about it.

Samson Kohler (he has his mom's last name). Born while Blitz was a prisoner, mom dies when he's four. He bounces around foster homes for a little while until Blitz returns and gets to move in with his dad. He LOVES trains, hyperfixated actually. He is autistic about them, and I don't use that description lightly. He especially likes steam trains. He can tell you all about the 4-4-0s and the 2-8-0s and what the various personnel do. He taught himself math so he could count the wheels, and he could read the word train before any others. Blitz always has the Thomas the Tank Engine theme song stuck in his head now. Their house has become overrun with train stuff.

I'm unsure of if I should still be tagging this as transformers since it sorta evolved itself out of it. But I am for now. Maybe I'll stop after I post the various other human designs I've come up with.

Sunrisers Hyderabad Clinch Victory Over Rajasthan Royals in IPL 2024 Qualifier 2

In a thrilling encounter at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai, Sunrisers Hyderabad emerged victorious against Rajasthan Royals in the IPL 2024 Qualifier 2 match. With this win, Sunrisers Hyderabad secured their spot in the final where they will face Kolkata Knight Riders. Let’s delve into the highlights of the match and analyze the key moments that shaped the outcome.

Sunrisers Hyderabad’s Batting Performance:

Batting first, Sunrisers Hyderabad posted a competitive total of 175/9 in their allotted 20 overs. Travis Head and Abhishek Sharma provided a solid start for SRH, with Abhishek Sharma’s aggressive strokeplay setting the tone early on. However, wickets fell at regular intervals, putting pressure on the middle order. Heinrich Klaasen played a crucial knock, scoring a well-deserved fifty, and propelled the innings forward with valuable contributions from Rahul Tripathi and Abdul Samad.

Rajasthan Royals’ Bowling Effort:

Rajasthan Royals’ bowlers put up a commendable performance, with Trent Boult, Ravichandran Ashwin, and Avesh Khan among the wickets. They kept the scoring rate in check and picked up crucial breakthroughs to restrict Sunrisers Hyderabad to a manageable total. Despite some resistance from the lower order, Rajasthan Royals’ bowlers managed to keep the pressure on and prevent SRH from running away with the game.

Rajasthan Royals’ Chase:

In pursuit of 176 runs for victory, Rajasthan Royals faced an uphill task against a disciplined Sunrisers Hyderabad bowling attack. Yashasvi Jaiswal and Tom Kohler-Cadmore opened the innings for RR but failed to provide a solid foundation. Sanju Samson, the RR skipper, couldn’t replicate his recent batting heroics and fell cheaply. Riyan Parag and Rovman Powell tried to stabilize the innings, but regular wickets derailed RR’s chase.

Sunrisers Hyderabad’s Bowling Brilliance:

Sunrisers Hyderabad’s bowlers showcased their skills and executed their plans effectively to defend the target. T Natarajan, Pat Cummins, and Shahbaz Ahmed led the charge with disciplined bowling performances, picking up crucial wickets at crucial junctures. They maintained a tight line and length, making scoring difficult for the Rajasthan Royals batsmen.

Key Moments:

Several key moments defined the outcome of the match, including Heinrich Klaasen’s fifty, crucial breakthroughs by SRH bowlers, and Rajasthan Royals’ inability to build partnerships during their chase. The match witnessed some exceptional cricketing action, with both teams displaying moments of brilliance.

Final Thoughts:

In the end, it was Sunrisers Hyderabad’s all-round performance that propelled them to victory in the IPL 2024 Qualifier 2 match. With a blend of solid batting, disciplined bowling, and sharp fielding, SRH outplayed Rajasthan Royals to book their place in the final against Kolkata Knight Riders. The stage is now set for an exciting showdown as SRH aims to clinch the IPL title against KKR.

IPL 2024: SRH, RR Face-Off To Seal Final Date Against Kolkata Knight Riders

Pat Cummins-led Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) will lock horns against Sanju Samson's Rajasthan Royals (RR) in the Qualifier 2 match of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 at the MA Chidambaram Stadium on Friday.

Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) have already reached the final of the 17th season of the IPL, and whichever franchise wins today's match will lock horns against the Kolkata-based franchise at the MA Chidambaram Stadium on Sunday.

The Hyderabad-based franchise is in their top form in the IPL 2024 and etched their name on the record book by breaching the highest team total in the IPL three times this season. Earlier, it was Royal Challengers Bengaluru's (RCB) 263/5 in the 2013 season which held the landmark of the highest team total in the history of the IPL.

With the likes of Travis Head, Abhishek Sharma and Rahul Tripathi in the top batting order, SRH have successfully entered the T20 tournament with an aggressive approach. They are the only side to score 100 or more runs in the powerplay this season.

The Rajasthan-based franchise started the season on a good note and kept a four-match winning streak two times in the tournament. However, as time passed and we came into the second half of the IPL 2024, the Royals started to maintain their consistency. In May, RR's first win came in the Eliminator round when they beat RCB to book their place in the Qualifier 2 match.

The Royals don't have a destructive batting lineup as compared to the Sunrisers but they have a fiery bowling attack with the likes of Trent Boult, Avesh Khan, Sandeep Sharma, Yuzvendra Chahal, Nandre Burger, and Ravichandran Ashwin.

The Qualifier 2 match will be an interesting clash as the best bowling attack will take on a destructive batting lineup to book their place in the final match of the IPL 2024.

Hyderabad finished the league stage of the T20 tournament in second place with 17 points and a net run rate of +0.414 after winning 8 of 14 matches. While the Rajasthan concluded their league matches in third place with 17 points and a net run rate of +0.273 after winning 8 of 14 matches.

The Royals are coming into today's match after beating RCB by four wickets in the Eliminator round of the IPL

2024. On the other hand, SRH conceded an 8-wicket loss against KKR in the Qualifier 1 match of the tournament.

Rajasthan Royals Squad: Yashasvi Jaiswal, Tom Kohler-Cadmore, Sanju Samson (Wk/C), Riyan Parag, Dhruv Jurel, Rovman Powell, Ravichandran Ashwin, Trent Boult, Avesh Khan, Sandeep Sharma, Yuzvendra Chahal, Shimron Hetmyer, Nandre Burger, Shubham Dubey, Tanush Kotian, Donovan Ferreira, Navdeep Saini, Keshav Maharaj, Kuldeep Sen, Abid Mushtaq, Kunal Singh Rathore.

Sunrisers Hyderabad Squad: Travis Head, Abhishek Sharma, Rahul Tripathi, Nitish Reddy, Heinrich Klaasen (Wk), Abdul Samad, Shahbaz Ahmed, Pat Cummins (C), Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Vijayakanth Viyaskanth, T Natarajan, Sanvir Singh, Umran Malik, Glenn Phillips, Washington Sundar, Jaydev Unadkat, Mayank Agarwal, Aiden Markram, Anmolpreet Singh, Upendra Yadav, Mayank Markande, Jhatavedh Subramanyan, Fazalhaq Farooqi, Marco Jansen, Akash Maharaj Singh.

Don't mind me, just posting my boy who loves trains with an autistic passion.

So the Big Boy Engine 4014 came by my place during the summer and I had to go see it(I drew this back when it came, but just now getting around to posting it). Hearing its whistle coming out of the canyon was so...ghostly. It's so different from modern trains.

I couldn't help but think about how excited Samson would be to see it. His friends would want to hang out, but trains are more important, and Samson will not be bothered to explain himself.

The teddy bear is named Casey Jones. No, it has nothing to do with TMNT. Casey Jones was a real historical train engineer. Pretty famous guy in train circles. Of course Samson would know about him.

Long story short, in the face of an imminent crash, he slowed the train enough that he was the only fatality(despite driving a passenger train) and injuries were minor. He became the heroic subject of folklore in "The Ballad of Casey Jones."

[knight-a3]

Say hello to the Saunders family. There's the terror twins, Rufus and Frankie; their dad Walt(who's a musician streamer known as Mr Sounders); and Walt's weird and mysterious brother, Wade. Special appearances from Samson, the twins' friend who loves trains.

The basic dynamic of the family as represented by a meme.

They may be dragging away their friend to go play "piñata". The idea is that Samson will be the piñata.... They really are friends, it's just that they're all stupid.

The twins have a pet rat, named Ratbat. They torment everyone, even while they sleep.

While playing with his friends, Samson wandered off and met Wade, the weird uncle, in the woods. They get along well. Wade was confused at first.

Don't worry, Wade returned Samson.

[knight-a3]

The boys often interrupt streams. This was how "MrSounders's" audience learned that he has kids. And for awhile, they thought it was only one kid, cuz they're identical twins. Until one day, the boys both show up and the chat is shocked.

Samson, with his vast knowledge of trains, tells them about the golden spike. The twins want to go make sure it's real gold by biting it. So they go on an adventure to the train yard and run into some graffiti artists. But Uncle Wade scares them off, and takes the kids back home.

Rufus somehow managed to turn on Walt's stream, so the chat got to watch him spin around in a chair. It ends with him tipping over and screaming about it. Chat calls the twins "Mini Sounders".

[knight-a3]

More of my train boy. This time with his mom! My sister decided her name was Samantha. I just went with it, cuz why not? It's a shame she's dead, but it was necessary.

The one where Samson is holding a sign saying "No" is based off a true story. My older sister was having a tough time in 1st grade, and the teacher asked her something. Instead of responding, she just wrote "No" on a piece of paper and held it up.

Mr Adam Stark is unreasonably upset at not being told his former acquaintance has a kid. He has to know everything. Everyone else's business is his business.

Family photos and a couple uninked sketches

Just my beloveds being an unconventional family. Nothing quite like a train obsessed boy, his unhinged dad, and an uncle who isn't actually related to them. Oh, and a dead mom who may or may not be haunting the narrative. It's fine.

[knight-a3]

I doodled some lore for my human designs. They're just transformers-inspired OCs at this point. I'm not tagging it as tf now cuz it's hitting a grey area, and I don't want to spam the tag with stuff tf fans don't care about.

Explanations under the cut to reduce clutter

Blitz was a POW for a few years. In that time, his girlfriend had their kid that he was unaware of. He finally gets back, and she's gone and died somehow(it isn't very relevant, so I never decided). The son, Samson, bounces around foster homes for a bit, until social workers can get a hold of Blitz and break the news to him that he's a dad. He and his best buddy/roomate, Andrei, were cleaning their guns at the time, because the scenario was funny to me and my sister, @angelfishcake

Samson is obsessed with trains. It's his autistic hyperfixation, essentially. He learned to count so he could identify the types of steam engines (albeit you cannot comprehend his methods based on what he does with his hands. His math is a mystery, but he gets there somehow). He will grow up to be a train engineer, with a focus on steam engines.

[knight-a3]

Your human design for Smokestack is so adorable. He's just a little guy.

You have no idea how much I love you right now.

Smokestack/Samson is so precious to me. I love his adult design, but so much of what I do with him is actually his child version. My sister @angelfishcake and I talk about him and his stupid little friends so much. I'll share more about the friends eventually(hint, they're based off Rumble and Frenzy). Soundwave is such a tired dad. TFP Soundwave is a separate character, and is the local cryptid.

Anyway, I have a backlog of drawings for this whole thing(AU?). I always think I'll color things, but then I never do and just end up collecting them.
