Frightful Four

[Livio]

Here's a few recent drawings I felt like sharing:

Galvatron
I think Galvatron is personally one of the harder old-school Transformers to draw, given that his design is a big departure from the standard "boxes and squares" that most of the Transformers looked like at the time. He's also one of the few new characters introduced in the old animated movie that I actually like. I tried simplifying the business of his original design while still keeping him very familiar.

Grimlock
I really just wanted to play around with his bullish, kid-like nature here. So I intentionally had him fill most of the frame, as well as bulk up his limbs a bit.

Jango Fett
One of my favorite scenes in the Star Wars prequels is Jango Fett's rain-soaked mano-a-mano brawl with Obi-Wan Kenobi. So for this drawing I definitely remembered that scene and wanted to do something with rainy atmospherics.

Hobgoblin
This was done during some downtime at the recent (and awesome!) Long Beach Comic-Con that most of us at the studio attended. I had fun playing with Hobgoblin's expression here, and wanted to give him a suitably evil sneer.

Until next time!

Starscream: Who disrupts my coronation?

Galvatron: Coronation? This is bad comedy.

Starscream: Megatron is that you????

Galvatron: Here's a hint.

Galvatron blast Starscream into oblivion.

Galvatron: Would anyone else like to feel his shoes?

Awesome version of Galvatron Livio. You going to color it.

Captliu- That's one of my favorite scenes in the OG movie. I like Starscream a lot, but seeing him finally get his ass handed to him was awesome.

And I might color it down the line! But if I did, I'd probably throw some kind of background in there and I'm trying to think up something..

Galvatron: Would anyone else like to feel his shoes? Feel.

I should really proof read my comments.

The last line goes: Would anyone else attempt to fill his shoes?

Livio Ramondelli said...

Actually, and this is beyond nerdy, I've listened to that scene a million times and I know it's supposed to be "shoes" but it still sounds like "Shoons" to me. Which is not a word. Leonard Nimoy's voice is just badass though.
