Anyone can do it, its called forum search.

I usually view the posters history before ever taking that much time to help and critique. Alot of us have good intentions, and there lies the problem, alot of people are looking for quick replies and responses, get their attention fix and move on.

Since they know full well we are willing to help, they will post a topic asking for it, sit back with a bowl of cereal and enjoy the responses that come in. If they don't get them fast enough, they move on.

The OP, has already posted this image once before, and he didnt ask for help then. why didnt he? Just one look at his post history and you can already see he has moved on to badly captioned movie screen caps.

no he was spoofing the fact that one of the seekers in the movie was a Model T.

steel hearts designs were great though.

Also he isn't optimus primal, or nemesis prime.

hmm, well hopefully once I color it and maybe fade out the back leg a bit, it wont look as bad.

Btw here a general Idea of what he would kinda transform into, but think more cybertonian.

Now you might want to do something about this shocked looking little guy.

Doesn't look to happy to be part of his chest.

lol damnit Im working on that :-p hey at least you know Im trying to make sure it works when it transforms haha.

ok progress has been super slow. basically because Ive been busy.

But someone mentioned they didn't like the Idea that the movie Megatron was one color.
Honestly thats the one thing I thought looked cool. It was like he was still in has primer paint job.

But Then I started thinking about the color of his chest in G1 as well as his gun and feet. So I think I came up with a cool solution. He will still be one color, but be semi iridescent. Very similar to Robocop, who was one color but had hues of green and blue , and even purple. As for the cannon being back. It is, but its years of destroying autobots. Its basically black from laser burns .

no thanks, the 15 minute thread is as doodly as we want things around here

All the lines and nodes in my images were created by me from scratch no pre existing mapmodels were used. This is what modern day (unreal, idtech, cryengine, lithtech) game editors do, they give you pre-made objects and you just organize them into different setups. I know all this because my professional job is a level designer. (my website has full details of my professional work)

The only difference being that we at least know that levels created with editors are usually made of prefab materials. While i think we can all agree that setting up levels its amazingly tedious work, and can be considered art. We really would prefer if all of the art created for the portal consists of completely original hand crafted works. there's a big difference between creating a building from a cube, and editing a pre-existing building to fit your needs. Not to mention the floodgate of modifed art that would have to be allowed if we accepted your work.

Modified sprites.
photo shopped sigs
dress up games,
re-textured game models. The list goes on and on.

I feel the only way this rule would ever change is if you used the editor to create art above and beyond what you would see from a level editor.

I look at your images. and all I see is a level from quake or unreal, its a new level created with prefabs. Its creative for sure, and it may be art to you, but its not the type of art we would like to see in the portal.

Im announcing my resignation from the art forum. Theres no longer any purpose for me to stay here. Im fed up with everything.

So will Miss ReNaeNae please come over here and lock this thread? Its gotten gay enough as it already is.

Im sure it wont take long before everybody has forgotten all about this. Not like anyone would mind either because im expendable. So im just gonna go and die off in the dust. Hammi is history. Ciao.

Ya I think Im kinda done here as well, So I will be overriding rae and Bmk, and locking this thread.

I think I speak from everyone here in the art forums in saying we've done more than our share in trying to encourage you. If you aren't at the level you want to be then that's nobody's fault but your own.

there is already one deathmatch type of thread, why dont you just contribute there instead of creating the exact same thread.

you are not exempt from starting a thread with a sample of your work,

Apologies for double posting, but I just can't believe this.
I always thought that Megatron transforming into a gun was humiliating. He's supposed to be the leader of the Decepticons, and he's reduced to a tool for Starscream.

then again, he also transforms into both a cannon and a tank.

In the new movie he transforms into a tank, which is cool at first, but then he flies off, and that just looked stupid. The whole big deal between autobots and decepticons is that the deceps, can fly. So he should fly in robot mode, so the only real reason he would want to turn into , anything, is for pure devastation. No better way to channel that power than to focus one full blast as a giant turret cannon.

if you seen the second movie, Mixmaster triple changes into a stationary turret for a bigger blast. Megatron should be doing that, not a third rate decepticon.

It's only a test, but silver looks so good on him...
After my last comment (Which I must admit, I'm regretting a bit for it.) I remembered there were actually transformers with facial hair in Transformers 2010. And that linked with another idea.
If you know any easy way to change color I'd like you to try purple/violet instead of silver as main color, that way and adding some crown-like spikes to the head you could turn Megatron into...

hehe I love what galvatron turned into, which is kinda what Im making megs turn into, but I cant stand galvatron himself or his purple colors haha. not to mention that his fushion cannon looked like an uncircumcised penis.

just splashed some base colors to get an Idea on what to fix we for going in and adding detail/polish

What are you coloring this in? Cause, if I remember correctly, you colored Optimus Prime in Painter.

ya perspective is kinda my weakness, Im hoping the coloring bring it out more. As for painter, it was a major pain, so I think Ill stick to Pshop on this one.

I like the face, but I can't help seeing the cheek guards as some sort of moustache... (Turn A Gundam Syndrome?)

lol well all evil villians have evil mustaches . I think Im gonna make it look more like part of the helment tho :p

if it was exactly the same as the flash portal, your submissions would've been blammed, sketchy stickfigures isn't really what we want in the art portal.

I'm not sure I like the face, or I may be looking at it wrong, but it looks a little smashed up and chubby to me, haha. =P

haha yah, I guess at that size its hard to tell. his helmet has cheek guards.

Other than that it's just great, your art really captures the look and feel of Transformers. I look forward to the next phase of the art.

thanks , Imma try hard to out do the prime one.
