As we promised.. Professional Dreamwave, IDW and freelance artist, our interviewee, Transformers fan, and all-round great person James Raiz has a little something up his creator sleeve, in order to prepare for his presence at TFCon Toronto!

Where do the fans come in? You get to choose the characters, right here, right now, and follow the progress as your choice gets worked through some artist's magic into the TFCon art piece. Check out the exclusive video that Raiz sent us embedded below, and pick your choices for the first round!

Hi Everyone! First off, thanks to Va'al, Ryan and the good folks at Seibertron.com for collaborating with me

And speaking of collaborating, it'll be a lot of fun to collaborate with you all! So please do follow me on Social Media, but please keep all your suggestions to this thread, so it would be a lot easier for us to keep tabs on it

This is going to be a lot of fun, and can't wait to work on this with all of you, and hopefully meet you at a convention this year - possibly TFCon if you will be going!

Thanks so much and talk to you soon!

He's an excellent artist, but by limiting the project to movie TFs, all he really has to be able to draw is one drab grey ball of steel wool and shredded metal and put eyes on it. Ironhide, my piece de resistance

Sideswipe (Revenge of the Fallen)- I'm a fan of cutting cars in half.
Scarlett (Rise of Cobra)- I'm a fan of redheads.
Boom! Vote'd!

Also, it's awesome to have you here in the forums James! I've enjoyed your art since the Dreamwave days, keep at it ;)^

I'll admit I know nothing about G. I. Joe, but I'll put down a vote for Dino (Dark of the Moon), he was pretty cool. Can't wait to see it started!

Put a mark down beside DotM Sideswipe and Rise of Cobra Scarlett.
Being a redhead myself, I am a fan of the ginger-warriors.
Sideswipe is my favorite movie Autobot and one of my favorite transformers as a whole. the DotM version was my fav since he had a stealth mode, a wing, and his new guns looked pretty sweet. Plus he's a mean roller-skater Sword-fighter like none other, so he gets my vote

Screw it, my vote goes to Sideswipe (DoTM) and Scarlett. That sounds awesome.

Well, while I'm not a big fan of movie TFs, I'll put my hat out there and say Sentinel Prime, 'cause he was one cool looking 'bot.

For the Joes... I'll go for Scarlet as long as she's drawn as a kick butt woman and not "cheesecake" if you catch my drift. Strong independent women, for the win (plus... yeah... redhead. Swoon...).

Woulda loved him in red, but meh. The bigger injustice was his 56 seconds of ass kicking in the opening of the movie... and then essentially never seen again. *sigh*

For the bots i have to go with Jazz & for the Joes its a tie between Snake Eyes & scarlet. Also just a thought, shouldnt sentinel be listed as a decepticon? He did betray the autobots & killed ironhide. Yeah he never officially said he was a con but his actions were far from that of an autobot.

I would like to say that this is so awesome :grin:

and that James is a great artist, I can't wait to see what he does with this.

My choices for the Autobot is -Sentinel Prime (Dark of the Moon)

and for the Joe it is - General Joseph Colton (Retaliation) :GIJOE:

I can't wait to make a decision for the Cons and Cobra.

Ironhide (Transformers)
Sideswipe (Revenge of the Fallen)
Sentinel Prime (Dark of the Moon)

That is true, maybe if he gets through I'll draw him in the middle between the Autobots and Decepticons - we'll see

Sorry guys - After a crazy rush at work - I've been working on the upcoming movie "Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon: The Green Legend" for Netflix (will be out in September btw) - I finally have some time to get drawing done!

I started laying out Optimus - using the design from the 1st transformers movie - will hopefully do constant updates over the next couple days:

Whoah man! Do you do all your work digitally, or do you try layouts on paper first?

I'm seriously in awe at the speed that you do your work (having seen some of your videos), and am curious as to how the process works!
