And here is the last part
Predaking - Oh, my fiery boy! I have so much to say about him…
He was probably the main reason I got into the Transformers fandom when I was a kid. My thoughts were like: It's a dragon! And a robot at the same time!? And he turns into a hot looking man!?! *mind blown*
Of course, over time I realized that behind the beautiful cover, he was a rather naive and very foolish character with a storyline too much like Dreadwing's. But despite all this, I still love him. Predaking is a real gem of the third season, and perhaps the coolest character in the entire series, and you can’t deny it!
In the WOF version, he is a resurrected dragon from the extinct skywing tribe. Being the largest dragons in this AU, their tribe was the most powerful on the continent until it completely died out due to a wave of cataclysms.
So, Predaking is a real giant compared to other characters. And, in the final addition, he is firescales! Because it’s BADASS!🔥
(and actually, because he gives me pretty strong Peril vibes)
Unfortunately I couldn't give him a bright color, so his firescales nature is shown through glowing areas on his body, creating the effect that he is literally burning from the inside. I also just noticed that his face looks very much like a skull, and I tried to pay attention to this in the design by giving him dark spots around the eye sockets and nostrils
Hardshell - I don’t wanna draw some random insecticon, so I chose this guy. Here I will be short. He’s appears in only two episodes and died almost immediately. He’s more of a plot tool than a real character
His stripes look cool, but drawing them wasn’t easy at all (I hate floating shapes). I wanted to make him look more like his beetle form, adding a big front horn and green plates on his neck. I also think that insecticons should be more different in coloring in this version
Skyquake - Same story - appeared in one episode - died in the same episode. Most of the fandom remembers him only as a zombie from the shadow dimension, and it's kind of sad. I believe he had potential. I always imagined Skyquake as the "brawn" in a duet with his brother, while Dreadwing was more of the "brain". And it would be great if we were shown this contrast, giving Skyquake a chance to prove himself in at least a couple of episodes
His design is, as expected, almost the same as his brother, but I still decided to add some small differences in details to make it more interesting
Vehicons - STEEEEEEVES!
I like these silly dudes)
I didn't want to make them actual clones or something, so here they're just regular nightwings and icewings, but they may look the same because of the iron masks that hide their faces. Like many other dragons, they are victims of a war they may not have wanted to participate in. Actually, in that case their deaths don’t seems so meaningless and even give the autobots actions a darker subtext (although I believe in the theory that they could simply pretend to be dead on the battlefield (I really want to believe in that))
I know there are still a few possible undrawn characters left, like Skylynx and Darksteel or Unicron, but that's probably enough for me. I'm happy with my closed gestalt)
Another draconization from mkx
Just like his cousin, Jin is a skywing (but without fire problems)
It was really delightful to draw his smug face, as in general his muzzle shapes, which are pretty big and expressive and I like it. Especially this cutie freckles! I added some on his chest to make it look like birds of prey
More lizards
(blueberry flavor)
Ooooooo
It is so great, we are finally got it!
It's looks so heartwarming and peacefully, I really love this composition and background! Luka's facial expression is so soft and full of kindness)))
This is very good job, definitely one of your best!
"Luminary Wardance" singlehandedly made me fall in love with Luka as a character
So yeah, i play hsr sometimes i think this game is pretty good for what it is. And i absolutely loved everything about Luka's story in the new event, so of course i had to draw something!
This whole project was full of second guess at every turn, but in the end im happy with the choices i made.
I wasn't sure about his emotions, but they show how deeply he cares about his planet and people who live there (just like Igor did). I wasn't sure about the pose, but it made this piece look more alive. I wasn't sure if i should put Jingyuan's quote there, but i think it ties everything together
Im glad that i was able to play trough this story and i really hope that i will get to see Luka shine in the story again. But if not - this piece will still be special to me
Another part of cool scavs! omg, they just adorable)

"Wow! Can you make one for my robot???"
Waves chatting
When two telepaths finally found each other)
CB!
My beloved lil criminal!
I like that CB canonically shares a bunch of features with Rusty - like hats or facial patterns (they have a kinda bros vibe to me)
Just one of them is sweet young man, and other one is sociopath in disguise 🤣
I also love the fact, that cabooses can whistle
Their whistle usually very high and loud and used as a warning signal. So I hadcanon that CB could use that type of "taxi whistle", to warn people who get in the way (except the times when he just ignored them😈)
