Anyway I’ve two ideas and I’ve put them both online:

COVER A

COVER B

I’ve left the final decision in the hands of the Hub to see which one gets tackled.  So stop by, register and cast your vote here

It’s been far too long since I’ve done a new strip.  I could hardly let the advent of the Transformers: Drift mini-series go by without passing comment.

Will hopefully have the colours finished sometime tonight or early tomorrow.

Obviously based on Walt Simonson’s cover to the legendary The Mighty Thor #337.

This is going to the cover for an upcoming fanzine similar to the format of Beast Wars Animated that I produced for Auto Assembly.

Based in Edinburgh this year, we’ll be around the Fountainbridge Complex – Macowan’s pub being the base of operations.
The usual japery will take place – quizzes, Scotcon freebies and who knows what else?!

The usual alcohol assisted shenanigans will be happening. Quizzes, toys and the ever popular Scotcon freebies. What they are I cannot say yet.

More news nearer the time.

Well worth stopping by their site and if you can get to it, I’d recommend going.

Taking a look over the last 25 years of Transformers history, this was part of the 1990 feature which was dominated by the sheer joy that is Action Masters!

There are some copies still available here

The second stab at BW: Animated _ Optimus Primal.  Much happier with the legs this time out.  Chucked some flat colours behind it to see how it looked.

The lower legs are waaay to chunky and I shall fix that on my next attempt at him.
