Vex Of Hearts

He's so evil cat coded. He WILL break into your house JUST to knock a glass off of your table and watch it shatter. Just saying...

;)

I'm quite happy with how he turned out, especially here so yay! :D

He's so disgruntled, I love him so much its not funny AUGH (it's a little funny)

expect of art of him and solidhorn sometime...I hope anyway I have NOT had motivation to draw 😭

Today is June 9th. Now, many of you that follow me might not know what that means or not know why it's special, but it is. A video game, my 3rd space, my second home, is receiving its final update today.

Destiny 2 was a game I started playing in August of 2020 after my oldest brother gave me his old PS4. I downloaded it, thinking nothing of it but when I started playing I was absolutely captivated. This was a universe so unique, so interesting, and it pulled me down a rabbit hole I knew I was never gonna get out of.

That game and it's community brought me something that no other game I ever played did - a family. My dearest friends, whom I consider brothers and sisters, I met through that game. Without it I would not be who I am and where I am today. It pushed me to draw more, it pushed me to keep going, and was there for me during some of my roughest times. I may not have always liked the game, but I did always love it. It breaks my heart to see it finally end, and end like this. It didn't deserve this ending. It didn't deserve it getting this treatment without a conclusive story.

I hope the Destiny community is listened to. I hope WE are listened to. Because Destiny and it's universe does not deserve this fate.

But, as it seems, things are looking unlikely. So for now, all we can do is hope. And I will keep on hoping. I will keep on playing even if the game slows right down to a crawl. It will forever be one of my favorites.

As a resident of the Rust desert, he is the only insecticon known to speak regular cybertronian! He is quite smaller than the normal bots, standing around 10 feet tall. I actually imagine much of the insecticons like Jawas from Star Wars, living on scrap metal and eating the energon of smaller creatures where they can. They are quite light and agile, being able to avoid much of what the Rust desert houses for predators.

He is a very nifty and crafty bot, being able to build a lot from scraps.

Unfortunately, my search for the original RB artist did not end well :/

I can’t find them. The best I could find, surprisingly enough, is a Facebook post from last year crediting ‘Vincent Grosse’ for ‘putting together the profile’ but even they didn’t know who the artist for the root mode bots were. (Image down below)

I managed to learn that the artist drew the characters in a “Dreamwave comic” style, but I’m Ngl, the comics is not my favorite part of this fandom so I don’t know if I trust Facebook on this one..

Also there’s like. 40 repost on Pinterest. Most of this is on Pinterest. Grr! I’ll try again when I’m not about to pass out from exhaustion but the search doesn’t look so hot .

Sense you expressed interest in the art… well, I don’t want to make the problem worse?? But uh. I found a YouTube short that features all the art so… It’s the best I can do without just sending 10 pictures into your inbox (my favorites are Blades, Chase, High Tide and Blurr)

The money I’d pay to make these characters more popular

Anyway here’s the link. Have a good day/night!

Yeahhh i tried to do some looking as well but only found what you did. I SWEAR i remember seeing those before the Dreamwave stuff came out but I might be wrong.

Pinterest is probably THE worst place for stolen art. It gets so lost and nobody credits and it's one of my biggest issues with the site. I really wish people would be better about crediting than saying "yoink" and posting is there with nothing. It's so frustrating

And honestly me too about the whole paying for them to be more popular. While its not my top favourite piece of media, it is really close to being up there. It is a well written show with well written characters and, imo, the best written HUMAN characters. I love how everyone actually feels like a family in that show and bgdjgfdhfhjb I love it so much

My favourite is Heatwave, Hightide is close in second hrhrhrr

Thank you so much for the link to the yt video tho! It's greatly appreciated :D

Big buff lady hrhrhrrr...I love her so much its not even funny

most of her inspiration came from Sarah stone's version of her because OUGH she's so pretty in her style.

So Chromia is basically a tool for the Inquisition of Cybertron to use. and I use the word tool because she is what they use to get the nasty jobs they don't want people knowing about done. She's an executioner, a saboteur, and anything else they want her to be. She kills people the inquisition deems heretics, she brings them to the gladiatorial rings if they ask, or whatever else. In the public's eyes, she is simply an agent. If anyone has any ideas on what to call this position please tell me lmao

She does not like this at all - she in fact hates what she does. She resents herself and hates everything about killing people cause the inquisition said so. But, she is fiercly loyal to the people she loves

In fact, I did stare at them for a while! (/pos) And as I was staring at your Shockwave design, I realized your art style is super familiar to me

Have you by any chance redesigned the Rescue Bots in the past??

I saved some really nice Rescue Bots redesign fanart on Pinterest a while back. Ive been meaning to reverse search for the artist for a while but I keep forgetting. There's no authors mark ;-;

The artstyle is similar to yours, and whoever the artist for the Rescue Bots is, they have a similar knack for details as you do.

if its not you, Im sorry. I figured id at least ask... I really should just reverse search for the artist *dramatic sob*

Thank you so much for your compliments!! urgh I'm so glad they look good to people

So I bring sad news, they aren't mine. I haven't done too much work with the rescue bots in the past, and if I did it would've been shitass drawings I did on amino when I was like...14. The only one know I did more "recently" was Chase, but I don't believe I posted it anywhere??? And even then that was already some odd amount of years ago too. My style has only really developed into this as of recent, as my art from when I was working on this au a while ago looked a whole lot different (and worse) than it does now lmfao

Although I am curious as to which designs you are talking about! I might be able to provide an answer to who they're by, but I can't guarantee :(

I actually have! I used a little bit of wfc inspiration in my Soundwave design, those four weird prong things that are on his chest are where I got those from (I'm not sure what they're called???)

And when I design Warpath I do plan on taking a lot of inspiration from there cause I love his design so much in the games

I am really obsessed with the way you are not shy with making their bodies look bigger and bulkier! Yet, your version of bots still gives off their original vibes.

Thank you for sharing them with us 🌻🐝🩷

Ouugh thank you so much!

My aim is for the bots to look unique to my style, but still recognizable. I love when transformers are big and bulky, but if their sleekness fits them, I do plan on keeping it - I've just been drawing all the bulkier ones first lmao. A lot of my inspirations come from the idw comics because they were what really got me into transformers as a kid. Alex Milne and Sarah Stone remain to be my biggest inspirations for both art style and bot designs :D

I am so sorry for the very late response anon, I've had this sitting in my inbox for ages and never got to it AUGH

Before the war, I think he'd be extremely arrogant, as he was chosen by the Inquisition to be the lead torturer scientist for them. He doesn't like the Inquisition one bit but they give him all of what he needs for his experiments and tests, so he doesn't care.

I took inspiration from TFP and Energon for his design, as Energon Shockblast has that green with the purple and I love it.

I really dislike the notion that he has no emotions. So instead, I choose to make him really complicated. How am I gonna do that? I have yet to decide lol

His voice claim is The Hunter from Starfield :D

I took most of his inspiration from Sarah Stone's wheeljack depiction mostly because I adore how she draws him, but I also drew some from elsewhere.

So for his character, I kind of like to imagine him as this guy who spends way too much time digging into the "why not" side of science. Always making crazy stuff because he can. Which isn't new for his character. But I do also want to give him a "major" in Quantum mechanics. Because I love that stuff, and I think he would too. Of course he knows his engineering and coding like he does everywhere else too. All of that combines into his ability to make lethal weaponry :D

He kind of has this "I don't give a shit" attitude towards most things. He's too busy with his nose in his work to care much about the outside world. But he is a decent enough fighter. Certainly not what he prefers but he can and will fight if asked to
