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.
Huge thank you to @bearhaironthechair for asking me to participate, it was really fun!

During last year's heatwave I took a nap in the middle of the day, and heard the doorbell ringing. I was only wearing a long shirt and, to look somewhat decent, put on some shorts real quick.
Opened the door, and it was some guy trying to sell me something.
Some of my neighbors passed by during his pitch btw.
I told him I'll need to sleep on what he said and he left.
After closing the door, I looked down and realized my shirt covered my shorts, so my attempt to look somewhat decent ended in failure.
Artistic rendition of what that guy and those random neighbors saw:
I admit, the first two drawings were literally because I was feeling maternal, but then it snowballed into giving the concept some actual thought, and it turned into Two (2) OCs.
So while I'm chipping away at their adult designs, here are their future names and short descriptors!
Fatass Baby = Luminous (irresponsible bum, transport aircraft, they/them)
Mean Baby = Valkyrie (anxious overachiever, spacecraft, she/her)
Small Preview:
Let's look like Mama from a different continuity!
I once told a friend that most characters from TFA would look like women if you merely increase their hip sizes a little bit...
Anyways, to be a bit more canon-compliant, I switched out the beard/goatee for cheek/chinguards (because I saw like two Female Autobots have those in the Almanac).
Now that the comic panel I worked on with @bearhaironthechair is out in the open, I'd like to share the lingerie concepts I made!
This is NOT required reading, by the way; this is just me wanting to give you guys a peek behind the curtains.
Yapping below the cut!
When it came to cybertronian lingerie, I didn't want to make cybertronian-sized human lingerie. Blitzwing would look great in that, no question, I merely wanted to drive home that these robots are aliens. They're from Cybertron, so it should be natural that some things or traditions are different over there and not a direct copy of what you would find on Earth.
The first one was a strictly metal approach. Chains and gems that can be magnetized to the plating. Probably what a more "standard" model of lingerie, that's considered attractive for Decepticons, would look like in that universe. The "makeup" was added as a fun addition to further show how special the occasion is.
The second concept focuses on fabrics. Perhaps the contrast of something soft and easy to rip against hard and shiny metal is why this model would probably be considered more attractive to Autobots? Either way, the colors are directly color-picked from Bumblebee and should tie back to a general idea of "I'm yours". The same goes for the flowy nature of the "makeup" and the literal bee head on the crest.
The third one was made as a mix of the prior concepts, with the colors representing all of Blitzwing's faceplates.
After sending them to Bear, we discussed which ones we liked and why. Bringing us to the final result at the bottom right!
Realizing that Blitzwing would switch faceplates during conversation, I drew what "makeup" Random and Hothead would be wearing. Can't have just One (1) faceplate all dolled up now, can we!
Not much thought went into it beyond wanting each of them to be unique, so I let what I thought looked good on them be my guide, lol.
And that's that on that!
Drop your own thoughts in tags or as a comment below, like which one YOU liked more and why.
If you haven't already, read the comic on Bear's account! If you did that already, then you should check the rest of Bear's art out~
