Silas Zee: Trypticonnie

Trypticonnie

2012.09.20

This is the result of a kinda/sorta dare to draw a Transformer lady out of a robot without a humanoid mode. Trypticon being one of my all-time favs he was my first choice. :3

Trypticonnie (brofist to Fosterlager for coining the name) started out as a quick doodle to answer the dare. I kinda feel like going the "mascot costume" route was a little cheap, but I think it turned out cool nonetheless. I tried started a brand new piece after whipping up the quick sketch with a pose that would show off her whole body, but I really liked the composition of the original doodle so I fleshed it out (I've included scans of the initial doodle and fleshed-out pencil stages so you can kinda see the evolution ^_^).

Because Trypticon is a big Baseformer he's got a lot of detail and I wanted to show that off on Trypticonnie here. Because this piece has more detail than I'm usually used to the ink and color steps were tougher, but also quite a bit of fun. Trypticonnie was a blast to work on and I'm sure it won't be the last time you'll see this gal from me. :D
