The latest looks great, tfshadowcons, but the thing you gotta love about Seeker lineart--you can repurpose it as so many different canon AND fanfic characters.
Now, when you say you were "given permission to color [this lineart] by IDW artist Alex Milne", do you mean you were given permission to color Starscream in front, Thundercracker in the upper left of the pic, and Skywarp in the upper right of the pic? or were you given permission to color it any way you liked, as often as you liked? like, maybe Starscream's one of the ones in back, and Sunstorm is the one in front! or maybe it's a picture of the Rainmakers! or a trio of generics colored like the Coneheads! The possibilities are endless!
Working backwards, i guess: Is Solidstrike based on Alternity Megatron, reimagined in the style of the live-action movies? Pretty cool.
i really like that Blackjack, especially the way the arms and shoulders look like they transform.
Drift and Blade look good, although something's bothering me about those two poses together in one pic--possibly the fact that Drift looks like he's about to do battle, and Blade's just standing there? Their body language is just so different, it's like they're reacting to different things--and yet, they're in the same place, so they should be reacting to the same thing.
Nice work on the Coneheads, and i like that background!
Is that Animated Prowl in G1 Prowl colors? Nice choice, even if i'm not crazy about the way Animated does a lot of its faces.
Optimus Prime vs. Megatron looks good.
Okay, i had a little trouble with target practice; all of the TFs pictured are looking at the weapon that's targeting them, so presumably they all see it, but some of their body language seems inappropriate for someone who realizes a weapon is being pointed at them--Starscream and Bumblebee in particular. (Bumblebee's pose makes me think, "We, who are about to die, salute you!" although i suppose it might be interpreted as something along the lines of, "Wait--do you see something up there?") Skywarp and Prowl, by contrast, have the perfect poses for this series, and Ironhide's pic isn't a bad fit if he's saying something like, "Who the heck's takin' potshots at us... There's one!"
Keep up the good work, tfshadowcons!
