This is Kinda how I pictured how Optimus Prime would've looked if I covered the movie designs.
Not as cool, I guess , but definitely more loyal to the G1 perspective.
My version is the flatnosed Semi, merged with his trailer, to give him height and bulk.
The People Have Spoken
Average Score: 9.7 / 10
looks too japanese. i prefer his slimmer, more impressive design. the tire/foot design is neat, and i like how you converted te smokestacks to the back. i'm sorry, but it does'nt work for me....
did you draw this from transfomers the cartoon serie or the movie ??
you always do metalic and shiny surfaces very effectively
the only problem I have with it is the right (his right) exhaust pipe appears to be in front of his head, though after looking carefully I can tell it wasn't intended that way. a little more overlap from the head would fix this. or am I wrong? is it supposed to be like that? if so I apologize.
Author's Response:
ya you are right, I should've darkened it a bit more
...the orginal cartoon. Even though the HOC versions of Prime and Megs would be a lot more strenuous to animate. I like how you mixed the first model and Powermaster Prime. A lot of people don't like how bulky you did this, but it makes Prime look more imposing.
Author's Response:
Thanks, I also think Powermaster prime is the best way to have the trailer and not explain it away like the original show did.
love your megotron more than optimus prime
I want to ask, can you draw a vehicle form? out of this one i mean. It seems like the grill would shrink or something....like most of it should not be there, you know? but otherwise, nice job.
Author's Response:
well its the G1 truck, and if you look at the real version of that truck, the grill is pretty huge. as a robot I have the grill folding and turning inward to give the appearance of a torso
there is so much great detail, but i have to comment on the beer gut
My only complaint is the feet. I just like those tires should be replaced with something a little more sturdy and tough. But again, this is your original creation so what do I have to say? Great work all in all.
well its cool but also a little 'BABY FAT'
It really is a nice job, but yea I can see what everyone is saying, it does look more G1, my only complaint (and everyone elses lol) is that Big Daddy Prime looks like he has a beer belly, which suits him really well.
Nice job alltogether.
He kinda looks like he has a beer gut
Author's Response:
well, Prime IS a trucker. lol
its greats but he looks like he have a big meal and got fat
Nice art but I does seem like Prime is Missing pants for some reason to me
Great work man, this is awesome art. You are extremely talented! Keep at it!
It is hard to find some good Optimus Prime art that is unique and not porn of him and Megatron.
Well done!
This is the way they SHOULD have designed him. Why do movie companies feel the need to put mouths on mouthless characters? Optimus, Snake-eyes?
They reallyshud have let you do the concepts for the movie
This is extremely impressive! Its different from movie prime which makes it awesome cause so many artists just do it exactly like normal prime without putting any soul into it but you have done it differently! Id like to see how that one transforms I bet it would be sick wicked and badass!
this lookz way better than the optimus prime from the movie!
I fucking love those tire feet. Love how they split. Great design!
or stocktimus prime.. his crotch looks rather vulnerable though ;P
still cool though.
-shawn-
I love transformers,but the chest needs more work
i like the design, but it makes optimus look fault, almost pregnant, if you slimmed his lower body and bulked him up to look more muscely this would be a 10 fo sho!
i added this to my favorites
Good movie, good robots, good villians,
good graphiks, good story, etc.
obviously the fan art will be good
it´s seems a little ``Megatron´´
but that make it more great
you should make one bumblee bee ``pimp-up´´
I too think it's better than the movie version. I think it'd be cool if you drew Devastator.
I especially like the COCKPIECE and JETPACK. Really masterful. But, hey, where's the weapons? I think he should have so many weapons, it would make Anthony Stark hold his head in shame.
Author's Response:
lol good idea
Seems very realistic, I absolutely love it!
P.S. Isn't it funny how everyone who saw the name "Egoraptor" said his review was helpful (which it was!) but nobody weighs in on others from the "normals"
Anyone who doesn't give this a 10, solely by acknowledging all of that detail, is on crack. Not only is it detailed, it's coloured too. God damn. I wouldn't have the patience to draw this dude if I tried.
I salute you, sir.
Amazing work! 5/5
+Fav'd.
The whole peice is very good, but I don't quite see how it would work in motion.
Maybe you could do an animation *hint hint*
Author's Response:
Thats cool, I think the movie Prime is pretty awesome as well. But you have to admit the movie Prime pretty much just morphs into robot mode without any real transformation.
I thought out really hard how Prime would transform before I drew this. and believe me it might not be as pretty as movie prime but his design makes way more sense.
Im even kinda proud about the fact I was able into incorporate all 18 wheels from his cab and trailer, :->
THIS ROBOT KICKS ASS!!!
The thing I like most about your robotics is they look alive... like whenever I see your designs I can already hear the pistons pumping and the parts moving.
I like this better than the movie design :x
awsome art!
Love this one, it kinda makes prime look abit smaller then what we normally see, but it is still very impressive, i like all the sharp feel of it very good work indeed,, you should make more of the transformer characters and even one of all of them together.
~X~
This is pwnsome
Just kidding.
Love everything, especially the lighting. Also,I recall the topic, where you posted steps you took in illustrating this, that the shape/outlines were drawn on paper. That is bloody good work.
This is the best artwork I've seen from you and seems like a shitload of effort put in.
This is some awesome art here, nice work on making it look 3D like. That requires some great talent. Nice perspective, it kind of fits both the movie and old cartoon styles of Optimus. Details and color effects were great, awesome work.
You give it other parts and perspective from the real one that make it very cool. Maybe because you have experience drawing robots
good job his head is a little crooked... but who gives a crap you rock dude
as a Transformers fan..... PROPS
way cooler imo
he looks like optimus prime and not some sort of fuckin alien
I love your drawings I hope you have new game in mind
Anatomically - He looks more functional than the Movie one.
I'm not sure how they came up with their design without cheating here and there like they do with the New Animated Series.
Course...the idea of a robot being able to walk, move, and transform like in the movies...is a feat of mechanical physics SO GREAT that it's nearly impossible.
That's why they are Aliens! - LOL
I like how you made him a bit stockier and wider.
I never envisioned Optimus as a young fit chap, but a bit grizzled and weary from being the Elite Guard's whipping boy for so long and having had to take on so many decepticons.
Author's Response:
exactly! he should be kinda like the embodiment of a real Trucker.
I think the new constructicons are a great example, though obviously not that over the top.
HOT! The tires for legs is original! But i have to tell you...I'm in love with gen 1 bocky transformers. I like the old cartoon optimus he best. This lookes dope for sure, but would a photo realistic optimus gen 1 cartoon style be that bad? Masterpiece Optimus Is an example. Would that look so bad on the bing screen.
Author's Response:
the more solid it is, the less pieces the computer has to bounce materials off from,
it would look fake from the solid shapes
This is truly how Optimus Prime should have looked in the movies. I prefer this. Is this pencil or some sort of computer program? Either way this is an excellent piece.
NO! This is how it should have been in the movies. Man i already know who im going to fav as my favorite illustrator ;)
I love the detail, along with his pose and the shadows and stuff. My first review on the art portal that we never knew about!
5/5
