Some of you may have seen me post this pic a while back, well I'm finally going to attempt to color it myself.

this time using painter which is a total pain in ass.

this is what I got done so far in painter.

the reason im even posting unfinished crap is because I want to finish it!.

Wow, youre a real robot freak man XD Youre even making your own custom robot parts for Optimus Prime. Insane! I dont doubt that you can handle all the details xP

That's incredibly awesome.

I can't wait to see the final result.

Speed paintings? The only speedy thing about them was that the frame-rate was increased. That stuff was super detailed and had at least 3 line drawings to start.

The "Speed Painting" aspect wasn't what I was focusing on. I'm talking about the general use of colouring and effects.

Nice, your line art was all shaky and thin but seems you're fixing that with the color job. Hope you add a lot of shine on him when you're done! CHROME THAT FUCKER
And now you have to make a megatron and a Robocop.

That's pretty amazing, though I don't get why these speed-paintings ( aka trace jobs ) are so popular all over the net. Just google and you can find the exact picture of the car ( http://games.fok.nl/showpic/1165581621.2 288.jpg ) and the robot ( close enough

He's got a lot of time on his hands and is obviously an incredibely skilled colorist/painter though.

Bumpadoodle..thought this is a more important topic than most at the top of the list =P

Hope your still workin on it >: {

that was pretty awesome!! I hope I can get mine as detailed as that..

the actual body looked alil funky tho.. like the shape, but the details were excellent.,

Ill work on the head tonight and post updates,

I've always been a fan, Mindchamber. This is lookin fuckin sweet. You seem to have a knack for painting metal which has always been real tough for me. I can't wait to see the finished piece. GO GO GO GO GO GO!!1

Awesome, you do some of the best robots I've ever seen. Awe inspiring artwork.

Thats just too friggin badass for my heart to handle , good job Mchamber , do you have msn by the way?

wow! thats the best optimus prime drawing ive ever seen!

Looking at the drawing and start of the painting, how detailed are you going to go? I mean, will you make it chrome like pox said or keep it a bit cartoony, and make it seem painted more? Either way, I can't wait to see the finished result!

It's pretty sick. How big is it? Big enough for me to get a print?

like luls

You are beast dude, you should do Bumble Bee.

Maybe this will help with you're chrome problem.

That is ofcourse if you have a problem. No banz pl0x. :3

Razac never did it for you, eh? Anyways cool that your using painter, shall be very interesting to see the results!

nice man

By painter you mean corel painter (enter version here) right??? That program can be a pain in the ass but it all pays off. Masterful brush effects btw. Maybe a highlight for the metal???

ok, I think about about done with the head.. ( blurred the unfinished parts)

the shine were added in photoshop sorry I just couldnt do it in painter damnit!

I'd like some darker shadows, but that's looking sexy!
How come you didn't use photoshop for the whole thing?

thanks, because Im trying to figure out painter. I like the coloring in painter more so than photoshop.
both are pretty awesome, but theres something about the brushstrokes in painter that make me really wet.
