HI!!! HI HI HI!!!! Oh my god, oh my god, oh my god, oh my god. This is amazing! Holy shit. This is so beautiful. Lovely awesome amazing wonderful incredible, holy shit! A whole entire comic?! @ominous-birdwatcher look look look look look at how cool this is!!! It's so awesome, I'm screaming-!!! I have so many thoughts, this needs to go under a read more.
The first page! The way Megatron's smile falls when he turns around! The moment of realization, of fear, it's just so visceral and I love love love it! And!! And the structure!! The cuts to various parts of Optimus' injuries, highlighting the main problem areas is just such good structuring, especially with the full body next to it! It's so smart and it builds up suspense and it's really good pacing and so cool! SO COOL!!! And! And!! The way you do the texture of the chainmail for Optimus' cape is so!!! It's so cool! It's simple but it has a good effect and a really good example of less is more and a really smart way to do something complicated like chainmail in a more time efficient way! So! Cool!!
And the second page, the way Optimus jolts when Megatron gets in his face is fantastic, and a really good way to get Optimus' reaction across when we can't see his face! And the way Megatron's hand hovers over Optimus' shoulder but he doesn't touch is such a great detail and I love it!!! The way his fingers curl around the shape of Optimus' shoulder but doesn't actually make contact!! Yes! Awesome! Amazing! Wonderful! And the way Megatron grits his teeth when Optimus says Sentinel's name, the expression of unbridled fury comes off so well! The way you drew his expression is fantastic! And! And and and!! Optimus' expression when he tells Megatron no is great! Firm and determined with no room for compromise. You are so so so good at expressions, the emotions come off so well!! But then!! The shot of Optimus and Megatron's feet! It says so much!!! Megatron is standing firm, his feet pointed out, a confident, strong stance. Meanwhile Optimus' feet are angled towards each other, his injured foot slightly lifted from the ground, an anxious pose that does not inspire confidence that Optimus would be able to physically stand his ground if Megatron tried to push him out of the way. It's!!! So awesome!!! Such a fantastic fantastic fantastic depiction that tells so much with so many implications and you really really obviously put a lot of thought into it!! And then the way Optimus closes his eyes when he yells at Megatron! His hand in front of his chest, anxious and defensive even as he closes his eyes. The juxtaposition just says so much! So good! The anxiety and the fear but also the trust to close his eyes in front of someone angry when he's injured! I just!! I love it!!! Uagh!!!
And then the pan out to the wider archive! Empty and quiet with no one else around, that moment of tension when we can't see their expressions and their reactions building suspense. It's such a great choice, I love it, fantastic! And then Megatron's carefully controlled expression and the downward perspective towards Optimus, implying that it's Megatron's POV is just so great!! The desperation on Optimus' face to be heard!! Megatron's surprised expression is just sublime! It's quiet and not overstated but obviously a moment of realization, and you're just so so so amazing with expressions to get this effect! And then! And then!! The way Optimus backpedals, ducking his head, the shame and embarrassment that are so obvious. And the cracks on his face! They evoke tears in these panels! I love it!!! The shading under his eye reminiscent of red rimmed eyes from tears! The damage evoking the look of misery is just so!!! Lovely! Tasty! Wonderful! Awesome! Excellent! The damage fulfills multiple visual effects! The shame and the misery and the damage all working in concert! Beautiful!!
And then the last page!! The juxtaposition of heights side by side, Optimus so much smaller than Megatron! It conveys a great deal about Optimus' emotional state, how he feels small, which is also helped by the way that Optimus is looking down at the floor, while Megatron is looking down at HIM. It's wonderful!! But then, Optimus looks up at Megatron, determination to be heard overriding shame! And it's just so good! The simultaneous shame and embarrassment and feeling of being small being contrasted by Optimus' determination and the core of steel in him beneath it all! It's just such a good representation of his character!! And oh my god, oh my god, the silent devastation on Optimus' face when he says he's not much of a Prime, oh my god. Miserable and sad and small and resigned, your mastery of expressions is used to devastating effect, I'm fucking tearing up. And the gentleness of Megatron's expression in the last panel, it's soft and subtle but you're just so good at the expressions, quiet and understated but so very effective!
You! You are so very incredible!! You are a fantastic artist, and I am so so incredibly honoured that you would make this! This is awesome!! The expressions!! The perspectives!!! The pacing and the shading and the poses!!! Awesome amazing incredible wonderful fantastic beautiful!!! I can't thank you enough for this, I love it so so so so so SO much!!!! ✨❤️🧡💛💚💙💜✨
