James Raiz Draws Transformers / G.I. Joe - WIP Video: Optimus Prime

Hooooooly scrap.

That is AWESOME! Nice job dude!

(Thanks for putting DOTM 'Bee in there by the way xD)

Cannot wait till we get some Joes and some colors in there. This thing is really coming together beautifully!

Beautifully done.

I know nothing about GI Joe, so I'm just going to not vote on that so the people with opinions can. That said, I would love to see Brawl on the piece. He was one of my favorite Con designs from the first movie.

Lockdown for sure. He was cool!
Barricade (is there any difference between first movie and DotM Barry?) with Frenzy.
Need a Megatron, I'll go with DotM cos I like his truck mode, his body design and the cloak and chains.
Got to have Starscream. again not sure what difference is between RotF and DotM versions but one of those cos I like 'tattoos'.
Soundwave (DotM looks best to me) with Ravage and Laserbeak.
Shockwave just cos.
Maybe Stinger just to annoy Bumblebee.

First off I have to say that the art so far is looking AWESOME!!!!!

Now for my choices for Cobra and the Decepticons.
For Cobra I pick - Destro
and for the Cons I choose Barricade ( I would say with Frenzy , but I can only choose one).
Bonecrusher would be awesome too, but if I had to pick one it would be Barricade.
You do have someone missing, I can't stand her, and I can't believe I am even bringing her up, but from ROTF there was Alice, she was a Decepticon......I guess.

Well like I said the art is already looking awesome and I can't wait to see the finished product.

Easy. Starscream (any) and Baroness.

Bonecrusher. Plain and simple. That was a good looking and mean con!
Destro for sure for the Cobras.

For the Decepticons-Bonecrusher. Any Devastator support couldn't hurt.
For the Cobra agents-Baroness. I don't think I've ever seen Raiz draw a (non-Cybertronian)female. I'd love to see how he draws her form, along with that awesome armor.

I'm think my vote's going to Blackout, but I do think Roadburn's on to something with Brawl.
Gotta love those military 'cons! xD

Do we vote in this thread?

One? :O
So hard to choose. I love so many of the movie Transformers.

Um. Fine I'll go with Lockdown cos he was awesome in AoE. And apparently voiced by Mark Ryan who played one of my fave childhood characters on TV; Nasir in Robin of Sherwood. (I know he's done a lot of voice work on the Transformers movies but Lockdown is his most badass).

Ok I vote Barracade, and Cobra Commander.

Transformers artist and Seibertron.com friend James Raiz has finally completed the first of two TFcon prints he asked you, the readers, to help him out with, featuring characters from Transformers and G.I. Joe - and you can check out some very cool work in progress videos embedded below for Ironhide, DOTM Bumblebee, Dino (whom we know is actually a version of Mirage), Grimlock from Age of Extinction and Jazz!

Remember to cast your vote for which Decepticon and Cobra character to include in the second print, too.

Wonderful art bruh!

I'm gonna have to vote Starscream and Cobra Commander.

Here is Part 7 - drawing Sideswipe! There are two more TFs in this piece, but tomorrow, the Joe videos will begin THE FINAL PIECE WILL BE REVEALED AND HOPEFULLY FULLY COLORED ON THURSDAY, JULY 2!!!

Taking a break from the TFs (there are two more coming) - here come the JOES!!!

WOW.

And now Snake Eyes:

When we first joined forces with artist James Raiz to help him produce a print (nay, two) for TFCon, we did not know what was in store for fans of both Transformers and G.I. Joe! We voted on the characters, started seeing what was to come... and now, finally, we get a proper look at the final result for the Autobots/Joes print, coloured by Kieran Oats!

If you took part in the voting process, look out for your screen name to feature in the video below, too, and feast your optics on this great homage to the movieverse by an true industry talent.

Today is the last day for voting for the Villains piece and James will be drawing the piece live at Montreal Comicon starting tomorrow - the full color piece will debut at TFCon Toronto directly.
