It's that time again! Storytime with :iconsingealiene: This is for chapter 7 of Revelation. Wheeljack and Perceptor finally meet up...and the results aren't pretty. Had a great deal of fun detailing this, the original resolution for the image is HUGE, so many pixels to fill! But worth it :D I've posted a couple detail shots separately.

For those interested, in-progress stuff!

Photoshop CS3; ~25 hours

holy shit! I'm definately floored by this one, and it adds a nicely creepy dark visual to that chapter! Percy looks... so completely frightened and helpless, and Wheeljack's general pointyness and stance makes him look unbeleivably dangerous.

Once again, you rule.

(Percy also reminds me of a kitten, in a way, that curled on thier back look when a hand comes down to attack the belly.)

This one is even better than the last one. The character interaction is more intense, for one, but I think what I really like is that we can see so much of Wheeljack. His injuries are much more obvious this time around. And the dramatic lighting is, of course, love.
:iconrezuri:
Whoooaaa.... :wow:

Wheeljack looks very organic. The underside of that foot looks really interesting. Gah... his whole body looks interesting. I love his his torso seems to fold over itself.

And is that torn earth I see under Percy from his struggles?

Speaking of, I had a little trouble figuring out Perceptor's face at first; his head appears to end (at first glance) at his eye ridges. I only noticed the back of his head when looking at full view.

But yeah, this whole scene was scary as hell, and you've got it down perfectly. Poor Percy. Poor Wheeljack (Head on! Apply directly to the forhead!)

You've got me curious now; what was the dpi?

:iconcalger459:
Heh, just checked 'cause I wasn't sure of the exact numbers, 12X11 inches at 300 dpi (I do everything at 300, even the sketchy stuff, much easier to shrink down than to try and add more detail later!). Would make a nice print...

And yay I'm glad it's scary, and that 'jack looks good :D Haven't tried doing robot damage before, it was pretty fun. Got to give him a sexy Gundam waist too ;) No, his body wasn't inspired by Unit 01 from Neon Genesis Evangelion, not at all...*whistles innocently*
:iconrezuri:
Yeah, 250-300dpi is the print standard, isn't it? I tried working an 11x17 at 600 dpi once. Nearly crashed my computer ^^;

Haha, I'm not familiar with that fandom, so I wouldn't have known the difference :giggle:

The awesomeness! :w00t:
I really like the mood, the colours and especially the light and shadow there.
Great work! ;)

:)

Wow. I mean, whoa. I just got done reading this chapter, so it's still fresh in my mind. You are so incredibly awesome at this. And yes, Wheeljack still scares the fuck out of me.

Whee! :boogie:

Thanks, it's really gratifying to know the scene comes across as I intended :D Heh, well I own a cat so may she provided some unconscious inspiration there! She's just about as cuddly as Percy too...*cough*
:iconcalger459:
Well :iconsingealiene: does love to make all her major scenes at night! It's kind of good though, because lighting is something I've really been trying to improve on, if you look back earlier in my gallery dramatic or mood lighting doesn't really exist. That's part of the reason I want to do the comic, it'll force me to grow artistically in new ways :D

And yeah poor Wheeljack, he's sprouting wiring all over the place!
