So, did we all just agree that he and Barricade are the best things from that movie? God they were cool.
Stylistically, I think this one's my favorite. He's supposed to fit in more with the 1984 Decepticons, hence the stripped-back details and more cartoon-y styles. Blackout's actually a really easy design to adapt. He's got one of the most 'normal' robot modes, and his alt. mode's been around since like 1968(!), so there's not that much that needs adapting. I dunno, he just worked out so mych cleaner than the others.
I'm thinking of doing an Autobot next, I've got a sketch of the Arcee twins lying around somewhere. I really wanna try one of the weirder, non-humanoid designs in the vein of Skylinx or Shockwave's Sentinels.
P.S.: the next few might be more infrequent. These last few posts were drawn ages ago, which is why I can throw 'em out so fast.
