Draw Me A "Transformer", please

Beej: well-executed. It sure as hell looks a lot better than that time you tried to interpret my idea for making the FF7 WEAPONs into Knights.
.I feel I maybe got a bit greedy with the train aspect... maybe.

Well, I'm glad it sucks less then.

I call you on "verbal face-rape." (i.e. putting words in my mouth.) I never said your picture sucked. All I said was that this picture was better. Being able to interpret someone's thoughts onto paper is no easy task but your illustration was a lot closer this time to what I had in my head.

I was thinking of bone white for the lower arms and shins, crimson red for the scales, and 80% (very dark) cool grey for the armor plates. I wanted to hold off coloring until you saw the line art though.

About all I could think of was headlamps for eyes and rivets on the armor to resemble boilerplate. I have drawn steampunk mecha but they didn't have an animal alt mode, so it felt like too much this time.

The colors sound good, but good call on avoiding the headlamps. I've never been a fan of robots that actually look like they've been manufactured by human hands. I like robots that actually kind of look like life-forms or (as stated above) like suits of armor.

Why do you have ten thumbs?

You caused me to mutate. I no longer have any fingers. Thanks.

RUBAH: I never said I have a "new favorite". That would imply having an old favorite. I think my bias is more based on the fact that I actually get a lot of time out of Jeet, despite whatever else may have going on.
My girlfriend complained that I was insensitive too. But, then again, she was crybaby.
