#ablitzbeebonanza

for the blitzbee bonanza a remake of the first blitzbee i ever did which was a sketch of a comic i never got around to finishing thats so rough its practically sigils

they both think the other was the first to shoot the shot but they can live with that ignorance

Thank you so much for @bearhaironthechair for inviting me to join in on the BlitzBee Bonanza! I haven't really indulged in Blitzbee in a long while but it was a real treat to get to make this for the occasion. I chose the first prompt, "my favorite idiots"

Happy Blitzbee Bonanza everybody! I can't wait to see what everyone has been working on!

It is with immense excitement that I announce that many of the fabulous friends I've made thanks to this goofy ship and I will be having

A BlitzBee Bonanza

at the end of May! Get ready for the wonderful works of @the-awakened-insomnis, @rintinningvt, @robo-holo, @lyrebite, @djwolfie4812, @p12lysanderdelanne, @hirakaz33, @l00n3y-lynn, @einfivre, @blutratte, @chip-dip-art, @ghost-ball, @starhut, @vhsmeat, @skele-tim, @mabzerie, and @marshmeowlow! May has been the unofficial month of BlitzBee for some time now, especially in thanks to wonderful events such as BlitzBee Week! Reflecting on it, I have long been wanting to do something with my soldiers in ship arms during the month that celebrates the ship as a shared point of levity between us. In many ways, this ship is made all the more valuable by the people that enjoy it alongside you as it is by showing off your own love of it! As a part of this collaborative BlitzBee appreciation effort, everyone participating in the bonanza will be creating an art piece about the ship based on a prompt of their choosing from the list below, with the final piece to be posted over the May 29 to May 31 weekend!

For my BlitzBee buddies taking part in this occasion, you only need to make one piece for the whole weekend that you can post at your convenience over those three days! The piece can be a digital piece, a traditional piece, a written piece, a three-dimensional piece, or whatever embodiment of the goobers brings you the most joy to create! Whether you are posting it in its final form or simply sharing a WIP that you're proud of, please tag your piece as "#ABlitzBeeBonanza" along with any other tags of your choosing!

Now, time for- The Blitzbee Bonanza Prompts (to Pick From!):

Prompt 1: “My favorite idiots” - No specificity, no guidelines, just show off what Blitzbee as a ship is/means to you! 

Prompt 2: “A blast to the past" - Remake the first piece of Blitzbee art/content you ever made with your latest style/designs/headcanons!

Prompt 3: “Date night/day” - Draw what you think a date between the two might look like! Are they going for a walk? Grabbing a bite to eat? Committing a felony? You decide!

Prompt 4: “Unabashed self-indulgence” - Draw yourself, your sona, or your OC(s) with the yellow/black and purple/khaki doofuses! It can be as goofy, sincere, or chaotic as makes your moment of self-insertion entertaining!

Prompt 5: “Something sweet, something salty” - Create a more finalized/detailed piece featuring BlitzBee, and then create an intentionally silly/ugly/opposing version of the first piece to contrast it! Think of it like your own art having a “good ending vs. bad ending” interaction!

Prompt 6: “A lovers' quarrel” - It seems Blitzwing and Bumblebee are in conflict again. Is that conflict an argument over what to order for dinner? Is it them attempting to kill one another over an increasingly realized sense of loyalty to their factions? Is it both? The drama is yours to choose! 

Huh? Is that a new Chiikawa special? Mermaids?! Wrong! It's a Blitzbee Bonanza!!!

The prompt I chose to work on was "Prompt 4: Unabashed self-indulgence", and I really wanted to make these two into Chiikawa characters. But, in the spirit of mermay, I also wanted to finally get to that mermay AU I've been thinking about in my noggin. No better way to jumpstart that than shipart, I guess lol.

Y'all have no idea HOW HARD I FOUGHT TO GET THIS UP AND POSTED. BUT IT'S HERE!! I'M HERE!!!!!! :D Design notes and rambling below!

EDIT: I got my old account back! For art like this, or just Transformers fun in general, check out my regular blog @adventuretolkienlover! I won't be using this account anymore!

I want to say thank you SO MUCH to @bearhaironthechair for allowing me to participate in BB Bonanza!!! I had a BLAST drawing this and showing off Blitzwing and Bee in all of their chaos. Because that's kinda what these idiots mean to me-- chaotic, messy, imperfect, fun, probably multiple explosions somewhere along the way. But C'MAHNNN they're absolutely nuts about each other. RIDE OR DIES!!!

Prompt 5: something sweet something salty

"-Create a more finalized/detailed piece featuring BlitzBee, and then create an intentionally silly/ugly/opposing version of the first piece to contrast it! Think of it like your own art having a “good ending vs. bad ending” interaction!"

I took a bit of a spin on this prompt!! When I read this i immediately imagined the better piece being them and then both of them having shoddy art skills but drawing a cute picture of themselves together (blitz is a good artist but imagine having to use human tools with a fist bigger than a 4 wheeler)
