I am a bit late to the party. IDW published its final issue of Transformers comics yesterday. This ends its 17 years run started back in 2005, when I was lucky enough to be part of right from the beginning. (cont.)
Back when Revelation concluded, there was an IDW Beast Wars project on the table, I was really excited. I went ahead and started designing a few Beast Wars characters, but Hasbro pulled all Beast Wars projects at the time.

I was hesitent to color this bcuz I wasn't sure how to handle the hatching. This one turned out a little better than previous attempts, it could be because of the angular shapes makes it much easier to handle light and shadow.

I get asked what pen I used.
This is a TWSBI Vac 700, with an FPRevolution Ultra Flex nib.
TWSBI is a Taiwanese pen company. I love the transparent design. It has a mechanism that controls the flow of the ink and a vacuum system to refill the pen.

Second page of the Screen Tone test. The background in panel 2 were 99% freehand, so some of lines on the buildings don't line up correctly. The purpose to freehand the buildings were to allow the buildings to appear more organic.

old sketches.
Back when I first contracted to work on Transformers, I went through a series of mechanical study on how moving parts would work internally. It's kind of pointless I guess, but I love making sense of mechanical parts for myself.

I think it's ok to show these. Here are the sketch and inked version of the cover. I went with the hatching technique that I have started doing recently, first time trying this out on a published project. I hope it will turn out well.

Fun Doodle. Tech Jacket story was compared to Green Lantern and design compared to Guyver, the truth is, the story was evolved from Transformers comic that Robert Kirkman didn't get to write and my design was inspired by Space Sheriff Sharivan.
