so i know this art was shown off a while ago back at the Wondercon IDW transformers presentation. i thought i'd show it off here now since to hype up the release of issue 23 and the Chaos story arc so these are the lineart for covers A and B of issue 23 of transformers ongoing. i think this will also be the incentive cover showing the lineart together to form a wraparound cover. the two cover almost join up fairly well. the only problem i had is that my scanner cropped a tiny part of the image, so that's why i have a tiny gap in the middle. i really wish it didn't do that, but it happens i guess. so one covers shows optimus prime from the the ongoing series and the other one shows him from the past before the great war. i had a lot of fun with these covers, and after i saw them coloured by Josh they are now easily some of the favourite things i've done for transformers. well issue 23 hits shelves in August. i hope you enjoy the book. James Roberts really makes a great story that was so much fun to draw. and i have to also thank Joana Lafuente for her work on the colours. i know it must not have been easy for her with some of my lineart. anyways, back to drawing for me enjoy
As I told on his colored version of the left half of this picture, this has to be one of the sexiest pictures of Optimus I've ever seen. Any chance we'll get to see the colored version spliced together like this? Optimus and/or Megatron's?
This looks so awesome! Marvelous work!
