[Error: unknown template qotd]SET ONE
-I've ridden a camel and it was bouncy.
-I've held a black widow spider bare handed.
-I've driven a motorcycle non-stop across the state.

SET TWO (because I like this prompt)
-I've jumped off a cliff
-I've been in a car accident
-I've eaten alligator

That psychicness must extend beyond the TF fandom because I was thinking about something very close to this for quite a while before seeing this. *shrug*

(  And for fandom stuff, have a certain shiny seeker making skyart. )

*making everything ambiguous because even after the four-plus-hours it took to do this, it still scares me*

You can blame this picture on puffitheinsane with her singular art bunny which goes hand in hand with this music video. Which was one vicious bugger as it wouldn't leave me be until I finished it (I swear, it didn't just bite me, it fragging ATE me). So thanks, I'm up this late because of you. Not that I wouldn't have been anyway with the humidity and heat we have here. And I can't even tell if I broke my own brain or not. I think I did, but it doesn't feel like it. Mostly because I'm ridiculously proud with how the shirt and the coloring came out.

( I'm not going to apologize, because it won't undo what I've done. )

Also, I just left the boombox as a regular boombox since I've already traumatized Megatron, and I couldn't bear subjugating another mech to this.

And I can't believe it's Friday already, what the hell happened to the week?!

The great thing about getting the last one done so early is that it gave me nearly two days to work on this one. And while that really wasn't enough time, it had to do. Bunny number 2 from here.

Would you believe Screamers' face took me longer to do than all the hands combined? Hands are easy (it probably only took a minute or two tops to do Soundwaves') so are feet, I enjoy doing them. Faces? Fragging HARD to do, Starscream I wouldn't be surprised if it had taken a whole hour and I'm still not happy with it. I'm starting to hate drawing him solely for this reason, as the last time also took a rediculous amount of time as well . Probably why Soundwave looks the best, no face to really speak of.

An artists tip for you all. Try to avoid using straight black or white in your coloring. It just adds a little something more if there's a little bit of color in there. As the dynamics of light rarely ever have something appear pure black or pure white.

( Forgot the cut AGAIN. )

Any mistakes you see or lack of certain details, I blame on my time restriction. But I am pleased, as it did force me to work faster than what's my usual comfort zone. *goes to work on tomorrows piece*
