This is actually somewhat amusing. It's so realistic to see Knock Out simply shoving things into Insecticons without really much precision or care because he just doesn't care about their kind.
The angle seems a bit weird for the Insection and the anatomy feels off. I really had to stare and focus to get to realizing how the Insection was positioned in the first place.
Your color choice and shading are pretty and not too hard on the eyes. The smoothness of your structure and build is quite eye appealing.
Knock Out's style, expression and colors are all great. Especially his face. I just love how annoyed he looks, having to do work for once.
Background could possibly use just a littllleee more to bring in my interest but it's not overall that bad. The positioning of the Insection's seating area though to the table KO has his tools on for some reason bugs me; it just looks off.
Your lighting is pretty well rounded and I like your style. (: It works well against KO's frame and the shadows beneath his arm and such.

Wonderful job, and on behalf of #The-Buffer-Army , thanks for joining the contest! Good luck!

Thanks a lot for this comment, it really means a lot to see people take the times to analyze a pic.

I appreciate your criticisms and totally agree with you about the angles and things looking off. I am TERRIBLE with perspective, it really is something I need to work on and I know it's quite evident in this piece. I think it was a case of focussing too much on the characters and not what they're doing/ how they're positioned.

I will say that simplifying things is generally how I roll with TFP; it's a style choice, so the Insecticon anatomy being off is something I'm in no great rush to work on, but I do respect your opinion on the matter.

And thank you for the kind words and taking the time to to write such an in-depth comment/ critique.

It'll either be feeling a lot better or a lot worse very soon.

He's *supposed* to be helping the Insecticon, preferably by doing something about that metal rod stuck in its hand. But we all know how he feels about the buggys at the moment.
