Test piece from Don from Devil's Due

Over the last 25 years the Transformers have appeared in media from the exquisite to the scribbled and been licensed to the responsible and the... Pat Lee. Discussion of all the branches of TF media within!

Feast your eyes on this work submitted to Hasbro by Don, in an effort to help DD get the TF license.

Quite nice.

Muchas gracias to Mob for the Sig, proving why he's called 'King'.

The "i" in "Señior" from "Señior's Covenant" is intentional and part of a stupid & cheesy inside joke from '02. Thank you for your concern.

thats spot on - no deformity, lots of detail, some modernisation. good colouring, more painted looking, no daft toilet postions.

great bit oo work, if the entire comic looks like that im very interested!

Excellent, that`s what TFs should look like, not the balloon-models that Lee used to draw. Here`s hoping DD get the licence.

Quite good. I still don't like certain aspects of the model color schemes (Oppy's "elbows" being white for a start).

Beats Manny Galan and the huge black arm joints.

I like the pic, but I don't it represents DD's "new" outlook on TF as opposed to DW. It's just Don Fig vs. Pat Lee, and I don't think the fact that most of us prefer Don to Pat is news.

Regardless if Don was drawing for DW, DD, Marvel, or in his own free time, his art is going to be awesome.

the highlight running along one edge is very clever.
