JIMBOTRON3000

Hi! I'm Jimbo (she/they), but in other places you might also know me as Jinme or Jinmesan. Nice to meet ya!

This is my Tranformers art sideblog. Focused more in G1, IDW and Beast Wars - I'm really inconsistent!

I'm a SFW artist, but I draw occasional suggestive art - specially on my bsky. Please keep that on mind.

✧ Bluesky (+16)

✧ Newgrounds (you can check my other works in there!)

✧ Not doing commissions for this blog at the moment.

✧ Request/Mail box:

ITS OPEN AGAIN (kinda)!!

My Mail Box is open for asks, doodle requests and whatever in general. Here is some rules you should follow:

Keep it civil!

I do these on my free time after work, so please be aware it can ake some days until I'm able to check your ask - I didn't forget you! Sometimes the queue gets long as well.

For OC requests: make sure you have a good quality reference (aka The shapes and colors can be seen properly). Make sure to tag or credit the owner if the OC isn't yours. I'll do requests from the same sender max. 2 times in a span of a month. Beyond this number I'll give prority to ones who haven't requested me before/didn't exceed the max. number.

Sometimes I just doodle, other times I do short comics and in special cases I animate - it's all up to how I'm feeling at the moment I'm checking your ask. It's all up to me ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Really really really nice idea I have absolute NO idea how it would work in any continuity cityspeaking is a thing ToT I gave a try tho

Cake is fuel?

Context:

Sure!!

Actually y'all can share and use my art anywhere you want as long as you credit me/keep my watermark on ^^

Thank you so so SOOOOO much!!

And sorry for responding you late 😅 I need to administrate my blog better. But I'm very happy you like my art!

Could you be inclined to draw Mirage and Cliffjumper as well? I love their dynamic in G1 so much! Even if it was just one episode hehehe

Anyway, thank you so much!! Have an awesome day 🩷🩷🩷

"Mirage getting persecuted by the most sassy little gremlin" the episode, yes

POSSESSION!!!!

I created her on the Picrew website, and here’s also her vehicle mode :)

Sorryyyy for responding late!!!! Anyway here ya go (thanks a lot for sending a ref for the alt mode this is SOOO helpful!!)

Thanks for being patient!!

Any art tips? I've been recently trying to study various artists and their way of drawing their own respective types of characters. (Such as humans, dragons, etc. And as of now, Transformers!)

You're art is so captivating! (You may answer this however you like, I'm just curious how you motivate yourself to create such wonderful things.)

Thank you for your time :)

I'm not that good to give any tips, specially since I usually rawdow my way into things lmao. I think I can still give some advise.

Before starting drawing Transformers (or mecha, for that matter) I can say I was a pretty decent artist, I guess. I knew all the fundaments and stuff and I worked (still do) profissionally as an animator.

So when I started drawings TF my first drawings were BAD (I ain't showing it). So after trying to rawdog through it I took some advise I saw on Twitter - I don't remember who posted it but if they ever read this post they will know: you need to concentrate ON SHAPES!

Like it seem kinda obvious if you are an TF artist (since these guys are just a bunch a blocks) but it kinda made me realise how to be a good artist you need to develop a "4D" vision for things - it goes a bit beyond understand how shadows and light work, you need to see a square and visualise in your mind "right now I only see one side of this block, but if I spin it a bit to the right, I'll see 3 sides. I need to figure out how to do that", if you know what I mean.

So you know that boring ass exercise where you need to draw a ton of cubes on a grid? Unfortunatelly it works.

Also you don't need to do "clean" drawings unless you really want it or your job requires so (like, if you want to work as a clean up animator learning to use vector will save you). My hand is not very firm and I have difficultty doing lineart, even traditionally. So most of my drawings are kinda sketchy nowadays. I used to feel bad about it but I actually enjoy it now.

Also for animation, here's my very personal advise: EVERYTHING IS BALL! Head? BALL! Walk? BALL! Jump? BALL! Lipsync? BALL!!! Cubes and metals? REALLY HEAVY BALLS!!! You master the ball kicking and (the 12 principles of animation) and anything is possible.

Your biggest setback will be how much time you are willing to put on it. Drawing robots still takes time. Animating takes a lot of time. Animating robots takes a TON of time. But its fun. I don't have as much time to do exercises anymore, so unfortunately I'm still rawdogging stuff, but I always try to learn something trying new things and using reality as reference! So if you can and have time also do some life drawing sections, its great.
