Hey everyone,
This started out as a speed painting practice in space environment involving some sorta robot, and what better I thought to do some Transformers? Since I've never done that before and I wanted to start trying my hands on this. Then later on, I wanted to go further into the details because painting metal has taken an interest within me. I've also wanted to play around with the different brushes in Photoshop, and to see how well they emulated the rough metallic textures of a jet fighter. I also wanted to play around with the light setting, and see how I should apply the light in regards to the surfaces of the metal.
For the references of Starscream, there weren't any proper references clear enough that I could find through the net, so I just improvised and did as best as I could with his anatomy, after all, I never intended to heavily rely on references for this picture.
Here are some close ups for those who are interested:
I'll greatly appreciate the C&Cs, so please enjoy!
