why study when you can paint robots

seriously, the Ming Dynasty ain't got nothin on giant fighting robots

Anyway, yeeeah I tried new stuff here-lighting, technique, attempting to rip off/emulate some of my favorite artists, I think I partially succeeded. Starscream was originally going to have energon/mech fluid/robot blood dripping down his fingers, I might come back to it later...

TF PRIME WRITERS, PLEASE LET STARSCREAM BE A COMPETENT VILLAIN
Stop putting him on scooters and making him a clown
I was pretty happy when they let him actually accomplish something with the red energon, jesus.

Did anyone see Hard Knocks? I thought the episode would focus on Knock Out and Starscream... I hoped Starscream would get more development this season...:( Oh well, at least we got a truly spectacular fight between Dreadwing and Bulk, right? Hrrgh, love me some Bulkhead. And Arcee chewed out Smokescreen, awesome, cause he can be SUCH a dumbass, and he had it coming. I totally didn't see the twist with Smokescreen coming, can't wait for the new episode, mostly cause I saw a glimpse of Starscream holding like three Omega keys

STARSCREAM HOW DID YOU GET THOSE

Also Megatron throws a vehicon off the Nemisis and it presumably plummets to its death, those guys should get together and write Megatron an angry e-mail

I looked up 'Smokescreen's Death' on DeviantART for I-don't-really-know-why. This picture was one of the results for some reason. When I first saw it, I actually said out loud--"Oh my goodness! That is so good!" And then I laughed when you said "Why study when you can paint robots?"

Wow, it's weird that my piece would show up...though I admit to not exactly being a Smokescreen fan...only sometimes.Maybe. He's pretty dumb. Like an adorable puppy. I don't like him. I do. NRRGH! XD
Anyway, thank you very much! And the sentiment still stands-Why indeed study when you can paint robots? XD

Dumb like an adorable puppy... That fits him VERY well.
I actually am a Smokescreen fan (if you can't tell) but when he starts up about his destiny, or his awesome "plan"--I'm apt to do a face palm.

Haha maybe I had it in mind when I painted it. I did want heavy shadows, cause he's a sly bastard

Did you see the episode yet? You'll love Starscream in that one! That poor vehicon! Megatron better be careful or they'll turn against him.

Good job on the lighting.
