Skyfall and top Heavy

These are all great, Andy. I remember Skyfall's bio from back in the day, about how he missed being able to fly. That picture of him with Top-heavy is really sweet.

Thanks, the bios are proving a great inspiration.

Skyfalls is especially good as it says he can turn (present tense oddly)into a can opener, or anything else, apart from a jet it seems:(, but mainly a can opener.

[Andy Turnbull]

Skyfall and Top Heavy is my favourite, there's a real sense of joy in that pic.

Well done!!

Andy

[Andy Turnbull]

A spot of Karma is called for.

Andy

[Bogatan]

Woohoo for Karma.

I like the Skyfall one too. Top Heavy went through more revision than any of the others (about 20 hours worth) while I tried to capture the down right cuteness of my first two sketches which are so nice I'm finding somewhere to incorporate them. Skyfall on the other hand worked first time.

Skyfalls bio would work well in the marvel universe. Nucleon stripped his flight form from him, but gave him the ability to turn into anything else. It's so cruel Furman could have written it.

These are amazing!

[Bogatan]

At least one partner is getting their own, or possibly stealing someone eases scene and a few more should appear.

[Andy Turnbull]

Excellent!

Fingers crossed for Push-button

I'm convinced there some kind of R2D2 and C3P0 parody/homage with Push Button and Mainframe, but it wont quite materialise in my head.

But thats not the solo one I'm thinking about.

Treadshot, I feel this one is missing something, but I don't know what or why.
Anyway

I think the sun should be behind Threadshot and be white, also lose the child he looks out of place.

Probably because he's so brightly lit yet in the dark, shadowy background. I like him there, it makes it feel less of a threatening showdown, more a fun holiday.

[Bogatan]

Yeah the without the kid it takes on a more sinister tone, he started as an adult and even then it just felt like the sort of spectator you'd end up with at a real showdown, also why Treadshot has an orange safety cap. I wanted to have a larger obviously touristy crown as well as AM partners who are more human sized, but when I settled on this layout it was going to be way to cluttered, so it's just the kid now.

The kid's not really meant to be in shadow, Treadshots leg is making the deck look closer to the building than I intended and the sun is supposed to be high enough not to be casting long shadows. But non of it is working quite right.

So yeah I think adjusting the sun should help a little. Cheers.

Edit: the kid probably needs an extra layer or shadows and highlight too.

[Bogatan]

Slightly modified Treadshot, not sure it makes any difference.


Next up an Elite joins the holiday fun, Omega Spreem

[Marc Graham]

Some really nice pieces here Andy, great job!

[Andy Turnbull]

Loving the Omega Spreem one.

Andy

[Stomski]

Amazing job!

[legios]

Have some karma for so many absolutely fantastic, and brilliantly whimsical pictures. I have to say that, like everyone else, I love the Skyfall/Top Heavy picture. It is just so much fun.

The Treadshot one is great as well - I can't help but get the feeling that he is about to let the kid win in a show of holiday spirit.

Glad these are going down well as I have plenty more Actionmasters to go.

This one feels too obvious and yet. I'm really happy with Hydro, Oddly hes one of the few partners that is described as a thing instead of character where he always had a character in my mind. (Even Turboboard get a description that suggests personality)

[Andy Turnbull]

Another excellent image Andy.

Andy

[Kingoji]

These are all simply delightful! VERY much looking forward to more!

[Bogatan]

Thanks. And thanks for the reminder, I haven't worked on Mainframe for a couple of days.

[jameso]

These are really cool! I particularly like the first one.

[Stomski]

lol, only just noticed the Sausagefist reference.

[Bogatan]

Oh yeah they are at the Sausagefist Beach Resort.

There will be more Sausagefist and Shockprowl later. Or right now, further down this post.

I need some feedback, Mainframe and Push Button are taking part in the Robots in Disguise contest


This is their effort, but it's got to the point I don't know if its obvious that its Mainframe and Pushbutton. Does it need pulling back some?


I'm also struggling with the layout, how does this look to people?


The stage could do with expanding as I'd like some other contestants possibly in other pictures. But I dont want to lose Mainframe and PB by making them to small.

[chrisl]

Pure genius of the highest order

[Bogatan]

Not quite happy with the flame reflections but I've been working on it too long and have it spread across two different files which is getting confusing for me so it will do for now.
Mainframe and Push Button
