Bye-bye art block

Okay I admit it, I like designing new transformers. Most likely I'd never use them further than just this but it's fascinating for me to see just how different they can be interpreted as. There's so much to play with in their world that it seems a shame to just limit one's self with the established characters we know. As for Drumlin, I attempted to rely heavily on an Inuit design including their shades that prevent snowblindness. But I probably could have made his tire snowshoes bigger, even though I'm pretty sure that Inuits don't use them.
Inspired by a bunny on the TF farm that I can't find right now.

Giftart for a friend in which we share an interest in merfolk based on real animals. This is Kiran, his fireworm merman. It's quite likely that we're the only two people in the world to have come up with polychaete worm characters, and what's even more interesting is that we came up with them separately without knowing the other had done so.
A little off topic but it's bizarre enough I felt like I had to share. Either my computer has a mind of it's own, is possessed, or I've finally lost it. The other night when I was listening to music it created a whole new playlist, with a completely random selection that would have taken me a while to make since it used all sorts of songs. It's never done this before, yet it still somehow kept a loose running theme. What's even freakier is that when I was wondering if I've gone insane or if it was just the computer this song starts.

Also, thanks for the song recommendation (The sad part is that everyone I know would agree with this song whether they were applying it to me or not...)

You're welcome for the song. It's always fun to have new music presented, unfortunately I don't know that many crazy people. Wish I did though, people here are boring and fit the stereotypical white man role too frequently for my tastes.

Consider it a partial blessing; my friends are NUTS. I don't mean my friends here (save for one, we went + go to the same school), I mean my friends back home...we're all insane. There are no words to describe the level of crazy that we are. Granted, I usually hide it fairly well, but...yeah.
