understand exactly what ur saying i love megop FOR their horrible divorce and horrors,,,sadly i don’t think ive ever seen a fic written specfically right before their fallout, if there is one i would love to read it too 😭 there’s a severe lack of going into the sad falling apart gritty stuff involving megop in fanfics i do wish people focused more on their divide and complicated relationship than pure romantic stuff, cos megop is so far from romance to me lol. i think the closes to this vibe is smeww’s fanfics on ao3

you guys remember s1 of tfp where megatron was controlling the terrorcons and threatened that op would become one??

procreate is definitely enough! a lot of hobby artists and professionals both use procreate and if that’s what’s available to u it’s a perfect option! i mean it’s all up to the medium u prefer, i started art traditionally (paper and pen) and then eventually got a tablet! art can be made with whatever materials u have.

Optimus Prime is dead and only resides in others perceptions of them

In particular, the way you so seamlessly exaggerate the characters’ features is something I ADORE, it gives them so much liveliness and personality!! Do you have any tips for choosing which features to exaggerate when it comes to tf designs?

Again, I love your art and I’m so glad I’ve found you on Tumblr as well!

EEE omg thank u so much this makes me so happy!! i try my best to exaggerate the characters emotions and body language to make their reactions and personality readable, also coz i strive for a more cartoon like style the pushing of their features needs to be prominent.

some tips i have for doing this w the formers is kinda relevant to everything. i think first most focusing on the eyes and brows and playing with those shapes like making the brows (or helm lines in this case) more prominent, eyes bigger or smaller and following the movement of the face when conveying emotions. if the transformers have any outside parts like wings, door wings, finiales, etc you can play with moving those around while the character reacts. i think any shape/part you find interesting in a transformer design you can always make the focus of the design (for example i rlly like tfp op’s silly big eyebrows so i enjoy making them bigger for silly purposes and more expressive)
