well this was a special cover i got the chance to work on. The owner of the comic shop i go to asked me if i was interested in doing a cover for and store exclusive book. this was something that we had talked about many times in the past but there hadn't been a transformers one to do....until now the owner pitched the idea to me about doing a cover, but was unsure about doing it since he wasn't aware about where the books fit into the main stories. i asked what books he was offered a cover for. he mentioned a G.I.Joe one, then a tf comic about megatron. i was like ok.....then i was like, wait, what, megatron? do you mean spotlight megatron? then i was like OMG i want to do that so after a discussion that day, i came up with some roughs. the owner and i went over them, and then i whipped up the cover. it was a blast to do. i love drawing this design of megatron. i know its not the most loved design, but i do enjoy drawing it. i added the store logo in the bottom cover plus a couple extra decepticons that i knew the owner liked it was a joy to work on so this will be a store exclusive comic. i will have a few copies that people will be able to get from me at the various conventions i will be at, but other then from me, stadiums comics will be the only place you'll be able to get this cover of the book here is a like to there store [link] here a link to there facebook for the in store signing i will be doing [link]
the fabulous colors were provided by the ever so talented Josh Perez. i think he out did himself on this cover. it really turned out well it was a joy to work with him on this project. i always wished when i was working on the ongoing comics that i would have gotten to do an issue or 2 with him. i love all the textures he has going on in the image.
well , back to work for me enjoy
lineart that be me colors he be great. too great even
I think this is the coolest Megatron design. I haven't been able to keep up with the comics; can you or someone tell me the story behind his new body? I had a hard time finding something on the net.
He was sniped in the face by Spike Witwicky giving Prime the upper hand in a fight thus putting Megatron in critical condition. The decepticons retreated to the moon under the lead of a matrix obsessed Starscream where they would be forced to cannibalize eachother in order to survive. Shockwave and Soundwave create a new body for Megatron using ore-13(basically ultra energon). Megatron came back in this body and took leadership from Starscream after he lost the matrix to Hotrod.
my friend: Someone call the paramedics, he's having a seizure from the awesomeness
