TF Comic Collaboration

[Verno]

G'Day Boys,

I've been writing this story for 5 years. Deadline?!

Ravage is in the same boat with his other commitments, his work won't be quickly forthcoming. So no, no deadline in mind. Let's just say 2015 for the sake of a date.

1. I don't mind if it's drawn on cafe napkins. Any medium is welcome. At the end of the day it's got to be scanned in to a computer and compiled anyway, so the paper and size doesn't matter. I've even been approaching 3D artists.

2. An Inker might be found later if necessary.

3. Same as the Inker.

4. Don't sweat, I don't know what they look like either :P

Ravage called dibs on Scenes 2 and 5, so he's going to be setting the early models for Csirac, Cybertronian Rhinox, Pre-Combiner Magmatron and assorted random Predacons. These can then be copied and interpreted by others.

The only other characters to appear in Issue #1 are TM Optimus Primal, TM Rattrap, Rhinox (we know how they look) and Taranachus (Cybertronian Autobot-sized Tarantulas {I was thinking a spindly purple figure}. Other than that it's generic Autobots and Maximals in the background. So the creativity is there to be exercised by the artists.

So really the hard work of designing characters to be imitated is being done by Ravage. Taranachus is really the only character who needs designing. For some reason I have a (as I said) a spindly purple figure in mind, kind of like TF:Prime Soundwave, but a bit more creepy.

Hope that helps lads, and others reading!

This is a cool project Verno I would look up some TF:Mosaic artists to ask if you haven't tried them already.

They were my first port of call, but none have come forward as interested, or are too busy with prior commitments to take on any other work atm.

I also tried the 'Lost Seasons' and 'Seeds of Deception' guys, but no go.

I can only imagine that they all had similar teething problems in getting their projects off the ground to begin with.

But I'll persevere.

I had a quick browse of your script, I can do pages 5 to 9, inclusive.

Because I have not drawn any Beast Wars / TM characters before, it may take me a while to work out a style I'm comfortable with.

I'll send you a couple of test shots when I have time. Depending on whether you find an inker and colourist, I could look at trying shading with pencils for some depth.

Because I don't have any Beast Wars toys, I only have online galleries such as these: http://www.seibertron.com/transforme...us-primal/455/

for reference. If you know of sites with higher resolution images, please send me some links.

Sweet as Man! Welcome aboard!

Chanandeller has already put dibs on pages 7, 8 and 9, so don't worry about those. But feel free to have a crack at some more of the earlier pages in the BW flashback (flashforward?)

So are pages 1 to 4 taken? If not, I might try those instead.

They're all yours.

You're a brave man - taking on the only Beast Wars section of a die-hard BW fan's comic I'm sure it'll come out great though!
