I Saw a Red Door and I Want it Painted Mauve

WIP of Megatron in his (eventual) armor in my fic on AO3 "A Gladiator’s Tale". The second chapter has been posted!

Optimus answers his morning call from his conjunx while sitting in his office: Goodmorning, love.

Elita, on the other end: I'm leaving you.

Optimus signs a datapad he just finished reading: When?

Elita: I already have and I can't get you to do the paperwork. I've been living with Chromia and 'Hide for the past week.

Optimus pulls over the next datapad: Hm. I wonder who I was showering with then...

Elita: I don't know. But I took our kid.

Optimus sits back in his seat and looks at the collection of holoprojections on the opposite wall's shelving: Oh, that's quite extreme. If only we had a child to begin with.

Elita: Yeah. I'm carrying.

Optimus: How far along are you?

Watch out everybody, I figured out how to make a transparency.

*hissing sounds*

Slapped some colors on an old sketch of Ariel and a little itty bitty baby Bumblebee.

And for clarification, Bee isn't Ariel's kiddo here. But in other news, just drawing a baby has done me in.

First digital line art!

Believe it or not, I used to be an apprentice graphic artist (and then I realized I hated it). I worked at a small print shop from the age of 13 and learned the Adobe suites hands on. But of course that was with business clientele and most of the work was, for lack of better terms to express my exact feelings, boring as fuck. Hated it. But I learned a ton and thankfully, that muscle memory is kicking in. I'm bearing with myself to be patient as I learn the Modern Day's software.

A sketch that ain't gonna see much more light o' day.
