2010: Assorted Transformers Animated work

One more entry that's Transformers related. This is another case where I adapted pre-existing characters into the style of the Transformers Animated series, which was very stylized and cartoony. I also worked with others to make sure these character updates would actually fit in both the style and setting.

Rotorstorm reference.

 

Lineart for the Rotorstorm character.

Final color art for Rotorstorm. 

 Reference for the Xaaron character.

Initial Xaaron sketches. Wanted to make him look like an old warhawk, reflecting how he was characterized in the comics he originates from, but I ended up deviating from it in a pretty big way.

Final Xaaron colors.

Character designs I never got around to doing more with.

 The combiner Devastator in Animated style, using the three pre-existing Constructicons from the show. Since I had only three to work with instead of 6, I went with a symmetrical combination where the two big members would each form half the body, while the smaller member formed the head.
