Vector Prime and Friends

From the "Cybertron" saga of Transformers comes this artwork of several characters. From top to bottom we have the ancient Autobot warrior Vector Prime, his trusty Minicon Safeguard, Lori, Sixspeed, Reverb, Coby, Bud, and of course, Jolt. Not many artists draw the humans or Minicons, and so I thought I would be different and give it a try. I had to use a lot of reference to get everything looking like it does on the TV series.

I started this artwork in April of 2006 and finished April 2007. Yep, that's a whole year! Of course, I was doing other things at the time too and just working on this a little at a time. I had originally drawn this in pencil and scanned it into Photoshop, but as I was digitally painting I ended up pretty much painting over everything I had drawn because the drawing wasn't very good originally. But it all came together pretty nicely in the end, and went on display at the TransformersCon 2007 art table.

I did this painting because Transformers Cybertron/Galaxy Force is a great series with excellent toys and animation, and so even though there's a lot of excitement with the movie and classic Transformers, we should not forget this significant contribution to Transformers history.
