- Motto: "Build a Giant Robot? Sure it's safe, I mean...it's not like two Stars from a childhood tv show are going to hotwire it and take over the world....right?"
You see,
Me being me, I'm tired of waiting for a movie artbook and just figured, print out everything and make your own for free right? Right? And thennnnnnnnn.......
WHAMMO!
More artwork! Gah! I mean I guess I could always add on, but still, not the same.
I mean I know why they didn't release the first movie book, I credit the Arcee design that was suppose to make it into the first film, but was dropped (See featurettes from the first film, which also mention Soundwave), so they saved Ben's artwork and design for the sequel, not wanting to spoil anything.
And that might have played out well, save for the fact they DIDN'T USE THE DESIGN!!!! So now there's no real reason really for why there isn't a book floating out there, save for the fact there are simply too many artist to credit, and too many designs mashed together and greedy something or others trying to steal said credit.
Ugh..... Damn showbizz.
The art!
Luv the Osprey design. Pending on the character allegiance I would say alter the face for something less cartoonish. Yeah yeah yeah....its based on a cartoon. I get it, stop. Breakaway look neat, but I think more could have been done. I'm not too hot about the head design.
The rest look fantastic. Even his Green eyed and Stargate Fallen concepts are waaayyyyy better then what we got on film. The SG Fallen especially being I can make out the decepticon logo in this deisgn verses the film, especially being there was alot of mention of it, but I couldn't make out this end from that really in the poster much less the film from all the motion blur.
Even his red bot, which I believe is also based off a bike from the looks of it, is pretty great.
Between Ben and Josh Nizzi, I cant see how ROTF went sooooo wrong design wise.
Enough from me,
Laters,
Josh
