Your Local Dragon Lady

Heyyyy…first post! This is a little bit more about me, my interests, boundaries, and goals! Just a little heads up on what to expect!

⋆༺𓆩⚔𓆪༻⋆

🎨 I’ve been drawing drawing my whole life. First animated in 2019-current. I do creatures, surrealism, and concepts, mostly. I do anything I want, really. I do draw gore and horror sometimes, and most of my works have flashing/horror imagery. Please be mindful of that, as I will give a warning beforehand. I am a Christian, as well. Disrespectful comments about my faith will be removed.

I freaking love these two. I love Bulky so much he’s just so adorable! He’s a big old teddy bear and I love him! I was very similar to Miko as a kid and I really like her as a character in the show. It’s giving big brother little sister frfr…

He’s literally afraid of stepping on her or crushing her by mistake oh my gosh he’s such a sweetheart! He needed more screen time IMO. Why did they have to cut the budget on the show dude…like?? 😔

:>

Raphael after hours and hours of coding with Ratchet:I’m tired of this, Grandpa! Ratchet: Well that’s too dang bad,KEEP TYPING!

This is my sona’s human version. It’s also my YouTube icon! Her name is Sabora and she’s basically a sona that I’ve been developing since about late 2020. We both age at the same time and we basically have the same personality/traits.

She lives in a world where everything is basically nature oriented but they still have technology (like early 2000s or 2010s technology.) They have television, phones, and computers but they’re made for the sole purpose of being functional and not addictive. They also have malls and schools and things like that ;)

Food is also a really big part of their culture, as dragons do eat large amounts of food…They really love stews, entrees, desserts and breads especially. Dragons grow their own food and make their own food. It’s a universal love language among them as well as sharing a piece of their collection 🪎👑⭐️

They live in different regions of her world based on their elemental abilities or needs but they do share some of the same customs as an overall species. For example, teamwork, protecting their little ones is a BIG rule and keeping a tidy environment for work. Just some dragon ground rules!

Lastly, I’d like to add that Sabora was raised in a community based society where everyone basically shared everything like a big family. If someone was hungry, they’d invite them over to dinner. Lack of supplies? Don’t worry we’ve got you covered! Need someone to talk to? We can do that too. Sabora has moved away from her family community for a while in search of a new life, not because she doesn’t love them, but she’s an adult now who wants to discover new things and herself.

(I kinda want to add her into a TFP story at some point, probably. The Autobots meeting a human who’s also a legendary beast would be pretty funny…It’s just an idea.)

…I’m open to any questions in my ask box (Den Discussion!) 👍🏾I’m really excited to share about my world building journey!

My designs for the TFP kids! 💙🧡🩷

⋆༺𓆩⚔𓆪༻⋆

Miko has an outfit inspired by some of the goodies you’d find in Hot Topic. I genuinely love Hot Topic and I headcanon Miko to have some kinda affinity towards those things. Idk man she just seems like a person who would like Kandi, alt, and we already know she loves things similar to that genre. Honestly, I feel that is suits her.

Raph still has his canon design but it’s mildly changed to my style. I gave him shorts, I can see him with khaki shorts for some reason. I gave him an untied shoe also cuz why not. I don’t really know what else to add on him but I’ll keep experimenting with some designs and figure it out eventually. Maybe I’ll give him an RC car like in the show?

Jack with cargo pants and earbuds is everything! I’ve gotten into them, myself too and they’re pretty useful for carrying things like phones, trinkets, or snacks. He may be treated like a walking inventory lol. Imagine Miko asking for snacks and Jack spawns a whole bag of hot Cheetos or something! Or Raph asking for a charger or something and Jack just makes one appear! 🤣

GUYS! Hear me out on this! I was up yesterday thinking about this.

Cybertronians purring when content/relaxed.

Cybertronians lounging around with each other and they’re all a purring, sleepy mess.

Parent Cybertronians using rumbling purrs to soothe little ones to sleep.

Purring to self soothe. (much like how cats do when stressed)

Certain frequencies mean certain things such as: “I’m here, everything is okay” or “I’m in need of comfort”.

The sound could either be produced by an engine or a very complex voice box.

Depending on their vehicle mode or size, the purr could be described as a ground-shaking rumble or a small buzz.

For example, Optimus has deep, guttural purrs, not only because he is a semi truck, but he’s also a big dude compared to all the other Autobots. Bulkhead also has guttural purrs but they’re not as big as OP’s.

Smaller bots like Bee or Arcee would have a clicking/buzzing sound.

Ratchet may be a mix of both but I’m not entirely too sure about that one, though.

Cybertronians purring when sleepy.

Purring when full/after a big meal.

Miko filming them then using the footage as blackmail…

Raph being the little nerd that he is asking Ratchy a series of questions about it. Ratchet just huffs and claims he has “no idea” what Raph is talking about.

Jack trying to act all nonchalant like this doesn’t intrigue him too.

Cybertronians purring when sick or injured to naturally hasten the healing process. They do it for themselves or their comrades.

And lastly, purring when with family and loved ones. Expressing gratitude for forged bonds.

I feel like I should draw these three. I mean, I have before on YouTube [here] but I mean full on color/shade drawing them.

I love these three because unlike some of the Transformers films they actually help even though they’re just kids. Most of the time, the humans either interfere TOO much or do TOO little to help the bots in these films. I feel like TF Prime was a miscellanea of both. Let me explain.

Little headcanon/ramble:

Miko:

Like, yeah I know Miko had a tendency to always run away after they told her to stay put but eventually she learned. I feel like she’s the wildcard of the group, spunky with a fiery spirit which she then channeled into fighting (Predaking, Starscream and Hardshell, even though it was out of revenge and not really protecting anyone). She still somehow had her spark after all that craziness with Bulky nearly dying (That scene broke me I love Bulkhead he’s my favorite bot in TFP 😢), and him losing his memory temporarily a little before. Some people would call her annoying, but I really like her as a character.

She’s the counterbalance to Jack and Raphael’s rational minds, because why not have a comedic relief character in the mix? And one that actually has personality and one whose sole purpose is not just to pop up when needed. Not to mention Miko’s sass:

“How do you know it’s not a recipe for space nachos?”

“Big whoop. I snuffed Hardshell.”

“We’re supposed to be at a rock concert but all I can see is rock.”

Jack:

We all know that Jack is literally the tired co-parent of the group who sometimes acts like his mama (She’s the same way lol). Sure, he had to learn responsibility from an early age, (When Miko pulled up to his house after he left the Autobots and he mentioned being raised to be responsible to his family system.)

Optimus even trusted him with the Key. Optimus trusted him to teach Smokescreen about traffic laws. Jack also had some hiccups, too like when he asked Raphael to borrow Bee to impress Sierra, which lead to Vince’s kidnapping. IMO, Jack isn’t “basic” as some people say I just think people feel that way since he kind of started off as the “mature one” and that led people to think he couldn’t further develop. He’s made mistakes and learned just like everyone else has.

I believe he helped Arcee through some of her traumas and fears, and maybe, just maybe she sees him as her own? Optimus also treated Jack like some kind of student/son. I think it’s really sweet that they’re willing to step in and take some of the load off Jack’s shoulders while at the same time acknowledging that he can fend for himself in some aspects. (Someone give this dude a soda he tired.)

Raphael:

Raph is the little guy that everyone adores, smart for his age, can hack into databases that most adults cannot fathom of hacking into themselves. They adore him so much so even Optimus had a crash out when he was poisoned by Megatron’s blast. And it takes a LOT to make OP himself crash out. Don’t mess with the little guy. (VALID CRASHOUT I WAS READY TO THROW SOME HANDS TOO…👊🏾💥👊🏾💥) OP literally saying “Come fight me” or something along those lines when he infiltrated the Nemesis ✋🏾😭

And the Snowball scene awwwwww! (He never got a snowball but OP put the offer on the table. But still…) I really liked his bond with Bumblebee and Ratchet since he mentioned having a big family when Ratchet stated that Bee couldn’t hear him while being put under so that kind of gives me the idea that the little guy doesn’t get much attention, so Ratch kind of took him under his wing, teaching him more about coding and tech.

Bee, I think is more like a big brother for Raph, not really mentor material but responsible enough to look out for him when needed. We all even saw how sad Raph was after Soundwave kidnapped Ratchet, I feel for him because it’s almost like having a parental figure stripped from you. I have reason to believe that Raph doesn’t feel overlooked when he’s with Team Prime because even through they’re fighting an intergalactic war they still make time to tend to the children’s needs.

  *ੈ✩‧₊˚༺☆༻*ੈ✩‧₊˚

So, in conclusion, I really love these three and I think they were a good addition to the series. I wanted to reside among giant metal titans who would protect you from anything lol (Kid me thought it would be so cool). I need a giant robot friend. But anyways…

Made this in 2022. This is my main OC named Sabora, a half human half dragon creature. The design is heavily outdated but is still a valuable piece of my hoard! 🪎

I REALLY want to deep dive more into her people and their culture aaaaand how they navigate the world as humans with draconic abilities. Sometimes, I’ll add them into my fandoms (mainly Transformers lol).
