It's halloween, everybody post ghosts !

This is based on the idea that the Matrix didnt bring Hot Rod back to life properly but instead just created Rodimus and forced Hot Rod's ghost to possess the frame, sometimes during moments of inattention he just... slips out

I am too scared to play this game to the end but I quite enjoy the look of it so fanart it is :))

Fanart for @determunition 's retyrement AU, OLD_FOLKS HOME is such a good fanfic probably my favorite out of all the other inscryption fics I've read.

I've re-read the first chapter 3 times now because Luke being P03's grandson scratches the right part of my brain, and also his recollections of him from when he was a kid just reminds me of my own grandpa haha.

since valentines day is also called friend’s day here, i present to you…… friends!

So excited to finally be posting this preview of my card for the Transformers Tarot Project ! Check out the project's main page for more info @tftarotproject and give some love to all the artists !

Drag starscream costume/cosplay! All done!

It's been performed in at pride!!!

Here's my thoughts on it:

So I ended up stoning some of the boots, gloves, helm gem, panty, shoulders and mellow cockpit stripe, HUGE, I don't know why I hesitated in the first place, this is drag baby and it really pulls it all together under stage lights.

I wish I had used a more flexible foam for my shoes as I see the paint struggling under the movement, nothing unfixable but the flex paint is really doing the heavy lifting.

The first gig I did with it I did end up dropping into a split and the force did take a chunk out of the back of the heel, quickly fixed and didn't happen the second time even though I did another split on the same shoe hehe

Thankfully the stages weren't dirty and the white of the costume stayed clean, HOWEVER!!

remember to seal your pain folks!!! The blue of the kneepads bled onto my knees!! Because I didn't seal the paint at the back of it enough (<dumb dumb) unsure on how I'll be able to remove the stains so far, thankfully it's hidden under the kneepads but I'm not a fan.

The wings are a bit floppy but I knew it would happen since I didn't want to make the harness clip at the front, but something to keep in mind for future costumes!

The helmet pressed against my forehead a lot during the first gig with it, but not anymore? I assume the heat I was expelling like a fucking space heater molded the foam again.

I'm still debating whether I should add more shoulder pads to the jacket but I think it looks okay?

Iwish I had been able to make shoulder pieces and or even the null rays but that would have been much too restrictive.

Costume is great to dance in, I did knock my hands against my helm a few times haha but I just need to get used to it.

So moral of the story, no more armor pieces required or possible to slot in there, maybe needs more crystals (I love shiny things) ? Some mild upkeep is needed with the paint and ab crystals but, overall? Success!!

Now do let me know, do you think this is a cosplay success?

I altered so much, does this still ring starscream to you?

How would you have done it?

So! I reeeally really love the way Mistakes on mistakes until.. portraying Prowls tac net so far. His battle computer is such a big part of the narrative that I couldn't resist trying to incorporate it into the design. I can't draw his thoughts (obviously haha), but I still wanted to add an extra detail. Like...something that would exist separate from his normal expression and indicate that, yep, there's something else going on for him besides his usual “I’m trying to focus” face.

today's bug thing are these chocolate strawberry ladybugs!

Got into Transformers recently, woe little guy be upon ye.
