To be original... diferente... Really different to all the others draws you've done, yet, it's awesome!!! (Sorry if I didn't write correctly, I don't actually speak english. But, hey, I'm still learning!!) Your work is incredible!!!

wow, this is a blast from the past! Its been like 9 years since I did this, wow, I nearly forgot about it! This was back when I just did cel-rendered TFs. I'm sorta doing a bit of that in the TF Ignition project, but not to the extent of Ironhide here.

thanks!

I don't have any tutorials made up as of yet, but really all I did was build characters in a 3D program called "3D Studio Max" and then used a plugin called "Swift 3D" which turns it automatically into a cel shaded render. And any touchups were done in a program called Flash (was originally Macromedia Flash, but it is now Adobe Flash)

Wait till I do some new artwork of him (in the works!). I'll be even better looking :-P It's been like 3 years, ol' Ironhide needs a good clean-up XD

He is really gorgeous, your style is fantastic.
maybe he'd like some fluffy dice? JK

I really like your Stormbringer Megatron too. I would LURVE to see what you'd do for G1 Starscream

KrisSmithDW In reply to frivolity65 [2007-09-09 08:19:39 +0000 UTC]

I'm gonna do a Starscream as soon as I can, specifically because I get 4 identical characters done all at once XD

I'm probably doing Screamer, Prime, Megatron, Soundwave, Ratchet and Ironhide all in one lump sum soon in honor of their "Encore" reissues in Japan. I might as well :-P

Actually, I can't wait to actually draw those new characters from TF: Animated. I'm hoping to do Prime or Prowl soon.

Lovin' the style, dude... It's nice to see something so straightforward, even though I do love heavily detailed mecha art. I really dig how you simplified and posed him. (...now do Ratchet. LOL j/k) *two thumbs up!*

KrisSmithDW In reply to straya [2006-08-30 20:42:36 +0000 UTC]

Lol actually, Ratchet and a new version on Ironhide ARE on my "to-do soon list". Don't know why but I always liked those vans. Have a few design and style ideas that I want to use for them. Hopefully they'll be done soon, if all goes as plan.

Great job on the ironhide. The pose that you choose for him really shows what he is like in the comics and the show. Keep up the good work. Also love the shadow.
