TransWarp: Csirac - Issue #1

[Verno]

For those of you who have read my work, whom I've spoken to, had dealings with or perhaps Collaborated with, you'll know I've been attempting to adapt a story of mine into a full-blown Comic series with the assistance of Artists from all over the world.

If you weren't aware of my endeavor, you now are!

I have the pleasure to present Issue #1 of TransWarp: Csirac!

No fewer than 30 Artists have helped with the creation of this single Issue alone, and the Csirac story is a 4-parter, so there is plenty of Pages still to be done!

Have a read, feel free to comment as I'd love to hear your thoughts on the story thus far!

Enjoy!

- Verno.

[KalEl]

looks great man!

[SkyWarp91]

Impressive. Most impressive.

[Verno]

Thanks Lads.

I didn't do the Artwork by the way. It was done by an Aussie, nay, a fellow Tasmanian actually. Goes by the name of Quickmixed on Seibertron on DA. I don't believe he's a member here.

The only artwork I'll actually contribute to the entire 22-page project is that Great War-era Maximal Logo in the top corner.

Impressive that your project is coming along nicely and isn't in the forgotten realms :)

[Trent]

Pretty cool work there.

I've been meaning to read your work, I did read a bit when I first joined here and I enjoyed it, but haven't been able to get back to it. Might make an effort over the next few weeks.

Hope it goes well for you!

[Verno]

It's a pretty slow and arduous process. The reason the Cover (which is also Page 17) is done is because the artist did both the inking and colouring. Every other page is being inked and coloured by different people, so it slowly down the whole process.

But it's coming along.

[Sam]

Thanks for the update - I am happy for you!

Cheers Sam.

I'm about to send you a link on DeviantArt...

[SuspectimusPrime]

That cover art tease is very impressive Verno! I've only had the time to read some of the bio's you've written, but will be catching up with the rest soon.

An end of year deadline sounds great! Would be a great breather in between the xmas rush period :)

[Verno]

I'll be posting this on some International boards later, but I thought I'd give the Home Crowd a taste first: Page 17!

[SuspectimusPrime]

Read through the first 3 pages of your 'Spotlights' from late last year :) More work for tomorrow.

[Verno]

I'm glad those stories are seeing the light of day :p

[Verno]

I'm attempting to make the Comic as 'real' as possible, so for a normal Comic Issue, on the inside of the Cover you have the Index or Intro Page, so here it is:

I'm happy to answer questions about the exact nature of the 'Transversal Continuity' and what events make up said universe.

Stay tuned for more updates soon!

[Hursticon]

You don't know how utterly excited & pleased for you I am Verno, that your scriptures are finally being realised in a visual form. :eek::cool:
Congrats & well done to you and the artists involved, do keep us posted on the future developments. :D

[Verno]

Just for you, Hursty:

Oh man, that is friggin' awesome! :eek::D:cool:

Does a creepy purple Predacon that laughs with a "Tihihehehe..." sound familiar at all?

Oh wow! - no way! :eek:
Is that our future 8 legged "Unicron-Spawn"? :D

The wheels on his back make total future-sense and I very much like this take on the character visually. ;):cool:
It's also really good to put a face to Csirac's name too. :D

Wait until you see Rhinox. He's so perfect it hurts!

Haha, yes! The 'little blue robot' has finally come to life!

[Hursticon]

Wait until you see Rhinox. He's so perfect it hurts!

Can't wait dude! ;):cool:

[Deonasis]

It is fantastic to see how you have been progressing this Verno. Looking mouth-wateringly great so far. :thumbsup

[Verno]

Thanks Lads!

I'm hoping the opening scene might be complete soon. It's in the final stages of being coloured as we speak. I'll spread it around to try and generate some more interest in the comic.

[Sam]

Just for you, Hursty:


Ooh, that artwork is slick...

[theheretic]

Very cool! Is Silverbolt gonna make it?

[Verno]

Very cool! Is Silverbolt gonna make it?

*Puts on his best 80's Cartoon Announcer Voice*

Tune in next week to find out!

[janda the red]

Really happy for you Verno....... It's looking absolutely cracking!!!

Can't wait til the day I'm holding a copy in my hands.

Janda. :D

[Verno]

Can't wait til the day I'm holding a copy in my hands.

Me either Mate, me either.

[SuspectimusPrime]

Just for you, Hursty:

Loving the artwork! It looks much better than the MTMTE Annual (non-flashback parts :p) or the FOC Prequel :)

[Verno]

I'm glad you like it! IQ40's stuff is simply phenomenal!

My hope is that people enjoy the story as well. There are 3 more Issue of the Csirac story to come after this one, then two for TransWarp: Ravage and one for TransWarp: Primal. But one thing at a time, I've got to get Issue #1 finished first.

However, Transformers: The Lost Seasons (a Fan-Art Comic Project on DA) is looking at perhaps taking on the Ravage story. I'd be delighted if they did!

[Verno]

Ok Ladies and Gentlemen,

It gives me a great amount of pleasure to show to you the opening scene of Issue #1 of TransWarp: Csirac!

The scene is set during the Beast Wars, and takes place just after the events of the Season 2 episode Coming of the Fuzors Part 2, when Rhinox uses an odd machine to travel into the Allspark and retrieve the Spark of Optimus Primal who was killed when the Planet Buster Moon exploded.

So enjoy Pages 1-4!

After this scene, the story jumps back to the end of the Great War, where it remains for the remainder of the story. The decision to include a scene such as this was made to try and tie the Csirac story firmly to established canon. Though this scene never appeared in the show, the use of the odd device was, and plays an important part in the Csirac story later on.

The Line Art for these pages was done by OTCA member Sam, who goes by Wildspark (http://wildspark.deviantart.com/) on deviantART, so a big thank you to him!

I hope you enjoy, I'm happy to answer any queries about the scene or the story at large.

And stay tuned, more of Issue #1 will be coming soon!

[Sam]

Hey Verno, thanks so much for sharing these. :)

Micgrol's colours and M3Gr1ml0ck's letters really added life to the lines!

I can't wait to see how the rest of your story goes, exciting stuff!

[Verno]

G'Day Sam.

Thank YOU for being a part of it! When you showed me the first sketch of Primal I knew I was in pretty safe hands. Yes you based the characters off the toys, but then so did Mainframe! Haha! :cool:

[Hursticon]

Oh man! :eek:

@Verno, @Sam; Top bloody work guys seriously - I really can't wait to get my hands on the finished 1st issue (Digitally or Physically ;)), the faithfulness to the source material has always been what has amazed me the most about these Spotlights - Argh! can't wait! :D

[Verno]

Enjoy!

[Sam]

Wow, the artist who did pages 5 and 6 is amazing! Love his lineart and shading.

[Slag]

:eek:+1 Massive leap forward....Nice work!! (to all involved:))

[SuspectimusPrime]

^Agree with the above two comments. Love the look of those Genericons :D I'll be the first to call on a 3rd Party Ticker, Mangle and badass-looking-evil-Rodimusface guy :p;)

[Trent]

Very cool!

[SkyWarp91]

Those 2 new pages look so professional man, awesome progress man

[Verno]

Cheers for the positive comments lads, I'll pass them on.

The Line Artist of the two new pages goes by Channandeller on DA, but for anyone who can remember back to the days of TAAU, he went by the name of Ravage. Otherwise known as Ryan. Top bloke!


^Agree with the above two comments. Love the look of those Genericons :D I'll be the first to call on a 3rd Party Ticker, Mangle and badass-looking-evil-Rodimusface guy :p;)

Well here's a couple of bonus pics just for you SusPrime:

Ticker:

And the "badass-looking-evil-Rodimusface guy" is actually Magmatron, in a pre-Great Upgrade body:

[Hursticon]

*Bleep* Yeah Verno! - *Bleep* YEAH! :eek::D:D:D
Channandeller has definitely done a friggin' amazing job, and that 'Pre-Great Upgrade' Magmatron? - Absolutely spot-on perfect; He's what Rodimus would look like if he had 'Ball Bearings' and were a Decepticon/Predacon Leader! ;):cool:

"Cannot wait for more" is an understatement. :)

[Verno]

Pages 13-17 are also complete, but I won't post up links to them until age 12 is done, just so you dont read the story out of sequence or with pieces missing.

Enjoy!

:)Keep the updates coming Verno:)

[KalEl]

lovin these verno! keep the good work going!

[Trent]

Awesome stuff dude!!!

[Verno]

Cheers Lads!

The Artist colouring Page 12 has told me they'll be done by the 18th... We'll see. I've learnt not to trust Artists too much, as I've just had to cut one of the Colourists as they've being "doing it" for 5 months now.

Hopefully I'll be able to find another Colourist soon :rolleyes:

[SuspectimusPrime]

Really enjoying these, what a great way to cap off a great year for TF collecting :)

Magmatron's pre-upgrade form is so sweet! Both the artist and Verno has done a really great job at depicting him as a mission focused, no-nonsense, front line leader!

I hope we get to see his alt mode in action before things progress too quickly :)

[Verno]

Sadly Magmatron doesn't feature all the prominently in either the TransWarp: Csirac or TransWarp: Ravage stories, though he is certainly present in them.

[Trent]

Yes you really should.

[SuspectimusPrime]

^ Seconds Trent's comment :)


Sadly Magmatron doesn't feature all the prominently in either the TransWarp: Csirac or TransWarp: Ravage stories, though he is certainly present in them.

We really see Magmatron shine in a story called Deicide - which is set post-Beast Wars (and basically negates the events of both of the IDW BW Comics, as well as Beast Machines). I should really post the script of Issue #1 of Deicide up for you guys to read...

^ All the better to build momentum for a really good Spotlight Magmatron? ;)

[Verno]

G'Day All!

Page 12 has been finished off, so along with the before-seen Pages 1-11, I can now release Pages 12-17 for your enjoyment!

Pages 18 and 22 are almost done, but I don't expect them until the new year, so I'll take this time to wish everyone a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year, and thank you all for your support over the past couple of months! It's greatly appreciated!

Cheers,
-Verno.

[Hursticon]

Beautiful! :eek::cool:

It is so thoroughly pleasing to see your work slowly but surely coming to 'visual' life dude, congratulations to you and the artists - When & where can I get my copy? ;):D

Cheers Hursty. Another couple of weeks and Issue #1 should be complete! (Hopefully sooner)

Because Transformers are trademarks and copyrighted and stuff I can't really distribute the Comic, but feel free to download the images and print them out to make a physical comic- that's what I've been doing. Once all the pages are done, I'll do up a quick guide on how to print the pages so they come out in order.

Excellent, I look forward to that post man as I'll also need to make sure I have the appropriate glossy paper & topped-up ink levels. :D

[Verno]

Issue #1 is COMPLETE!

Check out the Gallery on DeviantArt (http://tf-tvc.deviantart.com/gallery/39292808) or go back to the First Post (http://otca.com.au/boards/showthread.php?t=14343).

Enjoy!

[Sam]

The art on pages 21 and 22 look fantastic. :)

It's so nice to see all the pages done!

[Verno]

Cheers Sam. It's a nice feeling to have it done.

3 more Issues to go!

[Hursticon]

Verno...

These are absolutely amazing dude, some of those pages look absolutely professional! :eek: - I can't wait for the following 3 issues to eventually come into existence too. :cool:

Don't forget to provide those printing instructions for us mate; I'd also suggest your consideration of putting the written versions together in a .PDF file, so there's the option of both written & illustrated versions of these truly epic tales. ;):D

I second that, I was thinking earlier today of taking them to a printing place and getting them run off into my own comic :)

Cheers Hursty. Your support right from the beginning of the project has been fantastic. I could always rely on you for a good morale boost on the slow days!


Don't forget to provide those printing instructions for us mate


I second that, I was thinking earlier today of taking them to a printing place and getting them run off into my own comic

Ok, here we go:

Printing Instructions:

You will require 7 pieces of paper, A4 or otherwise.

Each piece has 4 pages of the comic printed on it. Two on the front, two on the back.

Piece 1:

Front Left: Intro Page

Front Right: Timeline

Back Left: Back Cover

Back Right: Front Cover

Piece 2:

Front Left: Page 2

Front Right: Preview

Back Left: Expanded Universe

Back Right: Page 1

Piece 3:

Front Left: Page 4

Front Right: Page 21

Back Left: Page 22

Back Right: Page 3

Piece 4:

Front Left: Page 6

Front Right: Page 19

Back Left: 20

Back Right: Page 5

Piece 5:

Front Left: Page 8

Front Right: Page 17

Back Left: 18

Back Right: Page 7

Piece 6:

Front Left: Page 10

Front Right: Page 15

Back Left: 16

Back Right: Page 9

Piece 7:

Front Left: Page 12

Front Right: Page 13

Back Left: 14

Back Right: Page 11

-End-

Now, I would recommend doing it in a Word document. Have 14 pages with two of the comic pages on each with the page set out in landscape. Print the first 7 pages, then turn them around and carefully print the other 7 pages, making sure you're matching up the correct 7 pieces.

I hope that makes sense. If not, just shoot me any questions and I'll clarify.

So cheers lads, I'm glad you've taken the time to read it all, and stay tuned for more to come in the future!


I'd also suggest your consideration of putting the written versions together in a .PDF file, so there's the option of both written & illustrated versions of these truly epic tales. ;):D

The text-only versions of Csirac 1-4 are online on DeviantArt, as are those for Ravage, Primal and Maxim. If need be I'll compile them all in a be-all-and-end-all version of the entire TransWarp story in the future, for the likes of Hasbro and IDW to read :p

[Bidoofdude]

Read the first one. Really impressive Vern. That's some good stuff right there. That's some good cereal right there.:p:cool:

http://fc07.deviantart.net/fs71/i/2013/168/9/d/csirac___issue__2___page_14_by_tf_tvc-d69he4k.jpg

I'd say it's coming along pretty well :cool:
