Silas Zee: Nemesis Prima

Nemesis Prima

2015.04.15

People are always asking me to recolor Optimus Prima pics into Nemesis Prima but I just can't roll that way. Repainting a toy is one thing, but changing colors on a piece of art to turn it into a whole other character is different if you ask me. An Optimus Prima pic and an evil Optimus Prima pic are two different things. I've drawn a Scourge lady before, but this is my first Nemesis Prima (again, Scourge and Nemesis Prime are two different characters in my eyes, but that's a nerd argument for another day. XD)

I finished up a Nemesis Arcee pic a little while ago but this was actually started first and what got me wanting to draw an evil Arcee. I decided to finish it up tonight to blow off some steam after a rough day at work. The colors turned out nice and bold but it could have been bolder, mostly due to me still not being totally comfortable coloring black outfits. :O I went with an actual axe instead of an energy axe weapon hand because I liked the pose around it. When working with a dark outfit it was tempting to give her a very dark complexion but I thought the opposite would work even better to show off that black and charcoal armor. :D
