Totally Mine

It's mine you know, totally mine!

Rather large image to be honest, but his is Starscream... AFTER his coronation.. yeah, in my universe he survived and lives happily ever after. So sue me!

This is sketched, then traced onto tracing paper, I felt like giving that a shot once. I tried to do Perspective... but well I suck like, big time with Perspective. I think if someone sat down with me and really took the time to give me art 101 lessons I might draw better.

There should be a law against using the Star brush to denote shine, but I think that might end up being my style, you know sort of like... the way people put glow around their characters or a thick stroke.

The hardest part about this image was the crown, it used an obscene amount of layers and I was trying to get that sort of look of gold. Non metallic metals I think they would call that if it was painting a model.

I won't explain what I was really trying to achieve with this picture, but I will explain a few things. First of all drapes. I like drapes and I like rich purple drapes, or deep red ones. If I have a window in my drawing, it's gonna have drapes. Unless of course its in the control room, or a brig.. or out side of private quarters. I sort of like to think of Emperor Starscream's home being rather lavish. Whether or not a transformer needs stuff like that is neither here nor there for me.

The purple fabric on the window sill is his coronation cape. His shoulder pads are not in the picture, but they're actually on the coffee table, along with the energon goodies and super high grade energon. Actually it is beside a bowl of energon cherries, he loves energon cherries.

And of course his crown. Yup, he's all set.

It came out fairly well. Due to details and such, I had to reduce the image some, so it appears a bit darker. This is totally huge right now if there are too many complaints I will put up a smaller image.



EDIT: MADE IT SMALLER.... at the risk of losing details.
