#sentinel references

[thecosmiccrow]

only finally time to post this. also this isn’t a step-by-step tutorial. im assuming you generally know how to draw already, this is just a bunch of references compiled together that could help you draw them easier.

SENTINEL REFS :3

extra notes:

dont worry about a bunch of the smaller details. sentinels are littered with them and itd take ages to draw them if you tried to make them 100% every time. just focus on the bigger shapes and add from there.

their eyes ARE octagons, not circles. that being said it does not matter how you draw them because octagons are absolutely fucking obnoxious to consistently draw. i know, i have a half-sentinel oc, ive given up by now. do not place that burden on yourself. the rest of their face lights ARE circles though.

the smaller two flashers are part of their head ridges. their eyes are on a completely separate layer, and have duller ridges atop them. sentinels just have a lot of ridges in general.

if you want to use real-world dinosaurs as reference, i would use Velociraptor, Utahraptor, Deinonychus, and Dilophosaurus as references, given that theyre all similar in body shape and structure. In the concept art, Sentinels looked extremely like the Dilophosaurus, though it got switched to being more raptor-like in the actual show.

I also MORE THAN LIKELY drew their tail wrong. So if you wanna figure out its design on your own, go for it. I just had to put something down so I tried my best, but it is absolutely NOT perfect.

Same with their colors! they’re almost a completely solid grey so it was difficult for me to tell what colors went where, so I just kinda put em at random in that first image. Doing something completely different is also good, since nobody can tell anyways :)

and on a final note, you technically do not have to follow any of these!! stylize them all you want. these are just references for anyone that may want to draw them more accurately :)

transparent sentinel base png: (MAY NOT BE VISIBLE IF YOURE USING ANY DARK MODE, BUT ITS STILL THERE!)

if it doesnt download as transparent, you can set the layer mode as multiply and it’ll work perfectly as lineart. this is free to use, I just want people to be able to make ocs easier :) i just ask that you leave the watermark in, and credit me if you use it, but you dont have to ask to do it.

(plus the image @1-800-hellyeah made for her sta.sh that i used as reference)

Happy dino drawing!!

(ps. you should totally show me any sentinel ocs you make :3)

Drew this because it was on my mind and i think it fits. A means to practice more on drawing bots eh, references are so important

Bonus :

I made Bee's speech a mix of the OG Comic and a clip of the Movie. Here's the reference

When I learned Jon Hamm was Sentinel Prime, my brain mashed this fact together with my love of Good Omens.

never meet your heroes

[zenderstorm]

guess my favourite prime

if he’s also your favourite prime i think you should read my fic bro…

basically my thesis is that, lord prima, being the “Embodiment of Primus’ Divinity Itself”, has a sort of biblical-angel-not-knowing-how-to-act-normal air about him. Do you see my vision

Stemming from this original idea in my drafts:

bonus it’s narrated by sentinel so that if i ever get to the killing primes part or the part where he gets jumped by the primes in the well of allsparks we will have full view of his panic and fear

bonus part 2 this stupid thing

prima propaganda ! spread !

[velvetwyrme]

ur current fave tf bot? :0

request info

YOU SPOIL ME <33 I actually went and straight up span a wheel to decide who to draw because I was like. my list of current favs is too long.

Somehow it ended up with three Animal Enjoyers, which was really funny to me.

Also because he's still plaguing my brain, I tried to draw Sentinel from memory and. thats something I can do that now, apparently.

Sentinel Prime reference I put together, in case anyone needs it

POV: you get a fun drawing idea, but it’s for your least favorite character

[kazel-04]

IT'S HIM (╯°□°)╯

An important person gave me two Sentinel figurines, I'm sooo happy ^^

This figure is so flexible, it's a pleasure to play with poses and take pictures of him

[bonesjaunst]

Maybe in another life...

And here they are without the gunshot!

Nobody talk to me </3

[cuppajj]

Jjjjust finished watching tf one and oh boy yeah that movie slapped real REAL hard. Transformers ily forever and ever and ever and ever 🫶🏽🫶🏽🫶🏽🫶🏽

[quibbs126]

You know honestly, having Airachnid as Sentinel Prime’s loyal second in command is very interesting considering their TFA counterparts

[compaculaaa]

Oooooh how I want Sentinel to regret what he has done. Those are his sparklings! And he tried to deactivate them! That is (was) his love and now he hates him! What is he supposed to do now? Begging won't work, and any plans he makes will be seen as another betrayal upon discovery. He really is stuck in a shit situation.

a shit situation he put himself in, he made this grave for his beloved, and now he has to lie in it.
