So, I tried a bit of freehand original pencil artwork. It came out pretty good - not perfect by any stretch, and I used the same trick here as with my FOC Grimlock custom - when in doubt, cover it with battle damage! He is meant to look a little weathered, with a nasty split in his face, exposing his eye underneath, as if he's just been in one hell of a rumble.

I drew a fairly generic Grimlock head that has elements of several different iterations, including the 'side teeth' from the War Within Grimlock that I quite liked. The front knuckles are meant to look a little bit like knuckledusters and I'm not sure I quite pulled it off.

So... over to you. Thoughts? Constructive criticisms? I am toying with the idea of inking it but I'm not much of an inker, to be honest. I would be very open to any OTCA members trying their hand at some digital inking/colouring - I could send some high-res scans via email to any interested parties. Let me know if you'd like to give it a (digi)bash!
