How I feel about Fighbird and especially Draias whenever I watch The Brave Fighter of Sun Fighbird
Two panels with text that reads"It is absolutely vital in any fandom to have a favorite character who you want to wrap up in a pile of blankets and give sweet treats to and a favourite character you want to beat on the head with hammers." showing a chibi style smiling Fighbird wrapped in a blanket and holding a cup while a chibi style Draias is pointing with his shoulder cannons at a hammer in the first panel and running away from it in the second.

Days 25-28 of Transformuary
#transformers #maccadam
Day 25: Character of Choice. A messy, cold-toned bust drawing of IDW1 Senator Proteus looking down at the viewer. He is in the center of a circle and towards the edges the drawing gets more blurry as if the viewer is observing him through a looking glass. Day 26: Minibot. A bright, CYMK pop sketch of G1 Warpath looking at the viewer and giving a thumbs-up. "Kaboom" is written in the background. Day 27: Bayverse. A messy sketch of Mojo, the dog, on a white background. Day 28: Free Space. A flat drawing of IDW1 Rossum who is facing the viewer but with closed/shut optics and a faint smile on his face. His head is resting on the backs of his interlocked digits/servos.

Day 21: Tragedy. A simple, vibrant red and orange sketch of IDW1 Getaway lying on the floor. For context, he is surrounded by flames. Day 22: Earthspark. A cyan and purple simplisticly rendered drawing of TFES Hashtag from the waist up. She is working on a virtual, holographic screen. Day 23: Seeker(s). A messily drawn green-tinted sketch showing IDW2 Sunstorm touching the glass of his tube with one servo. He wants to be free. Would you let him out? Day 24: Humans/Holoforms. A vibrantly colored screenshot redraw of an iconic Promare poster, featuring killjpeg's Rodimus and Thunderclash designs in the colors of killjpeg's own Promare screenshot redraw (on Tumblr).

Days 17-20 of Transformuary
#transformers #maccadam
Day 17: Empurata. A simple, soft-colored sketch of IDW1 Damus looking to the side at a blue glowing screen. Day 18: Favorite continuity. A very badly edited collage of several titles from the Aligned Continuity with a clashing "IDK?" written on top of it. Day 19: Combiner. A simple, colored sketch of RID 2001 Rail Racer who appears to be charging at the viewer with a weapon raised. Day 20: Leader. A simple red and purple sketch showing the iconic G1 cartoon Optimus Prime and Megatron in battle. Optimus is swinging at Megatron with his axe while pushing him forward, and Megatron is swinging at the Prime with his flail/mace/morning star thingamajig (reference to a specific TF Wiki caption).

Day 13: Amica. A simple, rainbow-colored sketch of six hands stretched into the center of IDW1 (from the top left, clockwise) Nautica in purple, Skids in blue, Velocity in cyan, Brainstorm in green, Nightbeat in yellow, and Rung in orange. Day 14: Conjunx. A simple, two-colored sketch from the waist up of IDW1 Lightbright in blue and Sparkstalker in pink. They are dancing back to back and smiling. Day 15: OC. A not-to-scale sepia drawing of two OCs. The starformer Suryasekhar is holding Helios in one hand. Suryasekhar is leaning into the smaller Cybertronian as Helios is kneeling in his hand and punching the face of the much larger mechanism. Their poses are based on a meme. Day 16: Medic. A rendered piece showing IDW1 Flatline's head looking down at the viewer. In the background, a red halo similar to a crescent surrounds him like horns.

Day 9: Transformers Prime. A moody rendered headshot of TFP Dreadwing in the dark. Day 10: Favorite Decepticon. A monochromatic purple, rendered drawing showing TFP Soundwave stretching out one arm at a flying Laserbeak from the waist up. Day 11: Cross Faction. A simple, colored sketch of a transformed Decepticon ship, the Nemesis, holding hands with a transformed Autobot ship, the Ark. The colors show a color-palette-like gradient from purple (Nemesis) to orange (Ark), resembling the lesbian flag (doomed titan yuri...). Day 12: MTMTE. A simple, colored bust sketch of IDW1 Ambulon. He looks concerned and in the speech bubble on the bottom of the image is a text that says, "Can you please stop throwing organic fruits at medics? Thank you."

Happy New Year!
Here is my Secret Solenoid gift for orange-grove-art!
#transformers #maccadam
The image shows a digital artwork of Gauge, Arcee and Grenlight from the Transformers: Galaxies comics as they are watching a race. Gauge is leaning forward in her seat and excitedly waving at her mentors/guardians when Blurr drives past them. Other members of the audience are shown as blurry, black shapes and the race track itself is bathed in melancholy purple-pink-orange light. The image is supposed to resemble a memory, where only the most important details, the three characters and Blurr's alt mode, are shown in detail.

Redraw of a comic panel showing Optimus Prime in a red Santa Claus coat holding a fake beard and mustache. His eyes are smiling up at the right hand corner of the image and he is saying, "Merry Christmas everyone!"

The image shows a black page with two panels. In the first panel, the titan Metroplex is holding something in his hand and smiling down at it. He is backlit, so most of his upper body is cast in shadows. The second panel is a close-up on what's in his hand. Windblade is sitting on it, her frame is wrapped in a pastel orange colored blanket and she is holding out a tea cup with a smile on her face. Metroplex' enormous index finger and thumb are holding a tea pot and he is carefully pouring hot energon into the cup.

If you see this, post a Transformer.

(One of three new additions to the family, TF1 OP! - Please ignore my army of Draias in the background)
An Optimus Prime figure (from Transformers One) is standing in the center of a table and striking an alarmed pose. Behind him, four different Draias figures (from The Brave Fighter of Sun Fighbird) are seemingly threatening him with their shields out and their weapons drawn.

Samus is shooting a Super Missile at Ridley while pointing the Grapple Hook out of the picture. (2020) Helios pretending to be a tree and hiding behind one. (2023) A metroid drawn in MS Paint that is floating in front of a purple background. The metroid itself is green-ish, I hope this counts. (2023)

Day 9: Celebration. A simple colored sketch of Vigilem and Lodestar dancing in the abstract sky. Day 10: Butterfly. Textured, cel-shaded drawing of Swerve painting Monarch butterfly wing patterns onto IDW2 Sentinel Prime's plating. Day 11: Last Friday Night. Two messily painted panels of Flowspade and Megaempress dancing with raised glasses and then cuddling. Day 12: Memory. Messy, colored sketch of Shockwave's laboratory after the creation of Phase Sixer Overlord. Rossum's deactivated frame is lying on the ground. His head is crushed and Energon is leaking around him. The console in the foreground shows a holographic image of him and Ambulon hugging.

#transformers #maccadam
Day 5: Opera. Redraw of a "The Phantom of the Opera" poster with Tarn as The Phantom and Ultra Magnus as Christine. Tarn stares at the viewer and blends with the shadows on the left side of the drawing. His hand curls around Ultra Magnus' shoulder plating, who is looking away from him, to the right, with an unreadable expression. The colors are overall muted, with the most intense being a pink-ish red that blends with a light beige, while blues shift into purples. A text on the left side of the drawing reads "The Phantom of the Opera" in its original, fractured font. Day 6: Prime and Protector. Another drawing with muted colors. Optimus Prime sits on what appears to be a throne surrounded by stairs, his gaze lowered and body half-obscured by shadows. Behind him, Damus is gripping the top of the throne's backrest, his hauntingly blue optic piercing the predominant darkness around them as the brightest lightsource. He appears to be standing on the stairs that continue on the back of the throne. And right behind Damus, Tarn's shadow is looming over them. The sole light source are blue-tinted god rays on the left of the image. Day 7: Cooking Together. A messy, textured sketch of Flame (on the left) and Scorponok (on the right) stirring a pot that contains food for the purple baby, Connie, who is sitting in an egg-shaped incubator in Scorponok's hand. The colors aren't precisely applied to the characters but gradients. Flame is colored burgundy to bright yellow, Scorponok is purple to bright pink, the baby shares his colors and the cooking pot they're using is a dark pink with a green glow emanating from within. The two Cybertronians are smiling while Connie is sleeping. Day 8: Stuck in an Elevator. Another messy sketch with pink-tinted gradients as colors. Strika (on the right) has her arm slung over Pyra Magna's shoulder (on the left) and is pressing the elevator's button panel which glows green. It looks like their heads are almost touching and Strika's mirthful expression is met with Pyra Magna's frown. Why am I even writing this. Who even reads this.

That's it for today, see you in a month (maybe, lmao)
#transformers #maccadam
Day 1: Two Is A Prime Number. Safety Prime is kneeling over a wounded and bleeding Mach Five Racing Prime who is smiling at him. Mach seems to have crashed into the barrier of the race track they are at. Day 2: Climbing A Mountain. Six-panel comic of Sixshot and Ultra Magnus climbing a mountain in the middle of the night. They don't expect the other to be there, but the initial moment of surprise turns into one of delight. In the last panel, they're sitting side-by-side, holding hands and looking at the moon in silence. Day 3: Stranded in the Rust. Javelin is supporting an injured Shadow Striker and helping her escape the rust-colored mountainous landscape they find themselves in. Shadow Striker's right arm is missing and she is holding onto Javelin with her other arm. Day 4: Unlikely Partners. A very simplistic two-page ten-panel Getaway/Rodimus/Thunderclash comic. Panel 1: Getaway sits at a console when Thunderclash's datapad pings a new message. Panel 2: Thunderclash is smiling, saying, "Rodimus sent me a kiss." Panel 3: Getaway leans over, "Oh? Let me see..." Panel 4: close-up of the orange datapad - the contact named "Captain" sent him, "KYS" and a heart emoji. Panel 5: Getaway lets out a wheeze. Panel 6: Getaway laughs out loud. Panel 7 to 9: Getaway receives a message and continues laughing, then falls on the floor and loses his own datapad, while Thunderclash is asking him, "What does this mean? Getaway- What does this mean." Panel 10: Getaway is laughing hysterically in the background, Thunderclash is leaning forward to look at the message on the pink datapad which reads the same text and emoji he has received.

Rodimus, Thunderclash and Getaway are fighing off the enemy in my piece for this year's TF Big Bang. Created in collaboration with the amazing Malcoholic on Ao3.
#transformers #maccadam
Three robot characters are standing in a circle on a rocky, dark ground, guarding each other's backs. Rodimus is in the front middle and has his arms spread out where his smokestacks are spewing flames left and right of the viewer. Thunderclash is kneeling behind Rodimus, facing left and resting his cannon. Getaway is standing behind Rodimus and firing his gun to the right. Rodimus and Thunderclash seem thrilled or amused.

More OC silliness
#OCs
Meme redraw. Three chibi-style robots are standing side-by-side, titled with phrases. The first on the viewer's left is Helios (OC) and he is holding his hands up with a panic-stricken expression, titled "overthinks". In the middle is Nightjet (OC) staring at the viewer owlishly and with a lopsided smile, titled "doesn't think". The one on the right side of the viewer is Ironwing and he is looking at the other two characters disbelievingly, titled "genuinely concerned for both of them". Three-panel comic in chibi- and regular-style. The first page shows Helios (OC) as a moth standing in the middle of a blank canvas. He is staring up at the viewer with large, watery eyes while a can with turmeric/curcuma powder is sprinkling the bright orange powder on him. The next panel shows him and his brother Aegis (OC) who is also a moth. Aegis is trying to remove the powder from Helios' helmet by patting him gently. In the last panel, Senator Proteus is looking down at the right-hand side of the viewer where it is presumed the two moths are standing. He seems to be amused by what he's seeing and in one hand he is holding the jar with the orange curcuma powder. Two panels with minimal changes: in the first, the robot Ironwing (OC) is looking at the viewer. Only his head and shoulders are visible, and behind him, three faded characters drawn in a chibi style are standing, visible from their waists up. In the first panel, Ironwing shows grief, saying, "If you wish to date me, you don't have to defeat my three dead exes." In the second panel, his eyes are closed and his expression more solemn, clarifying, "Because they are dead." The three characters in the background are, from left to right: Altitude (OC), Carbonlight (OC) and Helios (OC). Meme redraw: two dark grey-black panels of Helios (OC) as a moth sitting in the hands of a regular sized Cybertronian. The first panel is dark, but in the second panel, a yellow-orange vertical stripe is illuminating him and he is looking at the light source with and awed expression. The text under the panels reads, "Showing my moth places he's never seen before. The sun."
