<title>Pagem 35: Mazinger Animated</title>
<description><![CDATA[I was quite surprised when I discovered that some of the robot head designs of [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mazinger_Z]Mazinger Z[/url] (one of the progenitors of the humongous mecha genre, according to [url=http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/MazingerZ]tvtropes[/url]) fit quite seamlessly into the style of Transformers Animated. So I designed some robots around them and tweaked the design anyway.

Original Mazinger Z designs can be found [url=http://www.onemanga.com/Mazinger_Z/2.1/007/]here[/url], [url=http://www.onemanga.com/Mazinger_Z/2.1/008/]here[/url] and [url=http://www.onemanga.com/Mazinger_Z/2.1/011/]here[/url]:

This was really MUCH work. And well yes, I could've added shadows to the robots, but... no. Just no.

Another pic of the fembot now baptisted Markhor is [url=http://lemniskate.deviantart.com/art/Animated-Markhor-144023026]here[/url].

Did you notice the background? I painted it with acrylic colours. Sadly the characters obfuscate so much... for example the complete air vent in panel 2! So here's the background without them:

<title>Pagem 34: Mangafication!</title>
<description><![CDATA[[url=http://www.drunkduck.com/Keptn_Iglu/index.php?p=294080]Keptn Iglu[/url] the Manga!

You might notice a slight shift in focus. XD

This is a continuation of my [url=http://www.drunkduck.com/Styles/index.php?p=470067]previous manga attempt[/url]. I mainly did this for the screentone shading.

And I'm not 100% satisfied with this page, mainly, because I couldn't decide whether it's gonna be serious or a parody. So it became kinda half-baked. Plus, I didn't do THAT much research for this... The last panel is a bastard with which I'm especially dissatisfied, because kissing in manga tends to be two 2D face-shapes slided one into the other, but it interfered with my knowledge that and how heads are turned. Gah.

But the 4th panel is beautifully manga-ish, in my opinion :)

Still, this just isn't the style for me.]]></description>

<title>Pagem 31: Transformers Tovarishy</title>
<description><![CDATA[Oh man, do I hate colouring. But this was worth it.
The old comic look is done by a gimp 2.6 filter and a scanned old sheet of paper.

An Idea, inspired by [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_Son]Superman: Red Son[/url]. What would happen if the Decepticons landed in the USA and the Autobots in the Soviet Union during the Cold War? I have the story outlined (a pitch it is called, I believe) and if someone would volunteer to draw, I would write a full script.

[url=http://tfwiki.net/wiki/First_Aid]First Aid[/url]'s design is based partly on his character model, partly on his toy (which I have) and partly on a UAZ 452 I took a picture of in [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glazov]Glazov[/url]. As a reference for the background I used pictures I took in [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Izhevsk]Izhevsk[/url].]]></description>
