Here it is! My submission to the second Rescue Bots Zine hosted by @turbofox-zines! This was my very first fanzine and I couldn't be happier with it! My goal was to challenge myself in creating something in the show's design and I think I succeeded c:

There were so many downs during the creation of this piece from a terrible art professor who killed my creativity to being heavily discouraged when the style wasn't coming together for the longest time. There were thankfully a lot of ups that helped me push through mostly in the form of such amazing mods who were understanding of my health and nerve issues. Between MysticFox and the deadline this honestly likely would have never been finished. However, if it also weren't for either I wouldn't have gained my creativity back! I'll be forever thankful to them!!

On that note if anyone wants several totally not over 800 screenshots from the show I'd be happy to share 😅 A lot of them are duplicates, that I never bothered to go through. All in the name of research! There was a lot of watching and rewatching to find some difficult angles that only showed for a split second. I'm just a reference junkie...

Anyways! Originally this was planned to include so many more characters, but that would have required a two page spread and I was limited to one. Honestly, it's so much better that I was limited because I would have died. I really wanted to include the Burns family, but no thumbnail felt right and they all looked wrong :/ Ah well, maybe next time.

Here's some close ups!

Seriously you guys should go check out the other artists and what they made. They all created so many cool and unique pieces that just blows me away!

The minicon episode inspired me to redraw this but with my minicon persona

PAPER PAPER PAPER

finished the drawing! i’m pretty happy with it, especially since it’s my first time drawing a full bot. my main goal was to stylize him a little more since i sometimes have a hard time not just replicating the ref exactly

i quite like him with solid eyes actually

Bro is SO tired of EVERYBODY’S bs.

Anyway sorry for being inactive for so long chat. I honestly have just been feeling super guilty about having zero income, and because of that haven’t been giving myself mental permission to enjoy my hobbies any. But I should hopefully soon be able to get some financial help, if I don’t either find a job that will pay me regularly or my commissions suddenly take off. <3 Thank you guys for being patient with me ilya.

Remember, commissions are 20% off with code NIGHTRUNNER on my ko-fi right now !! The deal only lasts until the end of this month.

Also imma be so real, I finished this drawing this morning but just haven’t posted it until now…but here you guys are HSBHSB. Again thank you all for sticking around.
