Some cool Cartooning images:

Optimus Prime Cartoon Style Robot Mode

Image by frogDNA

Prime was airbrushed with matt enamels, then clear coated with dullcote lacquer, for a really cartoonish look. I handpainted some of the details on his face and some other small details here and there.

For the ultimate cartoon look, I airbrushed shadows and reflections all over him, using stills from the movie and artwork by Don Figueroa as reference. In fact, if you look at some of the reflections of the truck mode and the trailer, they're taken straight from the movie! (check the part when Prime rolls over Thrust ;) )

I also removed some parts of his chest, this left the white part visible and made it more G1-ish.

Last but not least, there's THE TRAILER!
A G1 inspired Prime would never be complete with out it!

I love baloons!!! I love cartoons!!!

Sideswipe Cartoon Style (car mode)




Image by frogDNA

This is Universe Deluxe Sideswipe, with custom weapons and an alternate transformation for his legs. Nothing altered there, I just didn't follow the instructions, since the original transformation made his legs look awkward.
He's got the same cartoonish look I used for my latest Prime, with shading and reflections on the windshields.
For reference I used mainly the cartoon look and artwork by Pat Lee and Don Figueroa (from Dreamwave and IDW comics).
