Transformers UK21 Cover

My first FULLY ORIGINATED cover!

Late last year I was priviliged to be given the opportunity to draw my first cover for Transformers UK after they liked my vision of 'Movie-Transformers-as-high-budget-Anime' as seen in my Mikaela & Bumblebee pic[link] .

I had been colouring strips and covers for them since issue 6 but producing the line work as well was a whole new challenge! The main problem I encountered was knowing when to stop moving things around! When I'm colouring someone else's work the art is fixed and there's only so much you can do!

This issue is on UK Newsstands now (but not for much longer) and I hope it will be reprinted in the U.S. in IDW's 'Saga of the Allspark' series at some point later in the year. I'm happy to say that Titan liked this enough to ask me to draw the next issue's cover and I'll be uploading that next month!

Just to explain what's going on here, in UK continuity, Jazz has been rebuilt by Ratchet (without Prime's knowledge) but a tainted fragment of the Allspark was used in his resurrection. Now Jazz is a bit off the rails and after Prime's head!
To sell.
On ebay.
Probably.

Anyways, I hope you guys like it! I'm planning to draw a lot more this year now that I'm getting the taste for it again!

Thanks for taking a look!
