I present you my second Bay-esque Autobot, Optimus Prime. And here I though I'd had enough already of the gears, the parts and the sheer number of metal surfaces! *stabs eye with a spoon* Wut? No, I don't do 'Cons... have you noticed that they consist mostly of spikes? And all kinds of hurtful, jagged things to make them look bad? I simply don't have the patience to draw all that.
EDIT: Lots and lots of lightening. I saw it at on school's monitors and it looked half darker than it was on my computer, so adjustments were made immediately. Just say if you can't see a thing in my paintings, thank you.
Oh, WOW! It's beautiful! I've seen many renditions of him that don't have any sort of effect to them. But this does. His clenched fist shows his strength and determination as a leader, while at the same time his soft blue optics show his kindness and his love for those close to him, as well as his dedication to his people, a quality of any great leader. The background and the pose really make him seem like someone you can trust, depend on, and look up to. And that is precisely what a Prime is. Everything about him here says he will give his spark and life defending what's right and protecting the innocent.
