We're all doomed

We’re all doomed

TransformMission Over Turn was shot on my garage floor, using my cell phone as a light source. The background is from a trip to Washington DC, taken from the deck of a moving boat on the Potomac river. No tripod, just a handheld shot. Don’t quote me, but I think it’s the National Harbor. The downside of these extremely dark shots is that my camera seems to introduce quite a bit of grain to the picture. I added a moon from a different evening. For whatever reason, it really was that reddish color in the night sky. Seems fitting for this nihilistic character. The reflection in Over Turn’s windshield is from a different shot from somewhere along the Potomac. I cleaned up some of the panel lines, added headlights with a couple of lens flare renders, and tried to clean up the unbelievable amount of dust from the car. The Decepticon symbol is a png file that I distorted and toyed around with the various layer style tabs to achieve the desired effect.

Autobots - Season 1 (complete)

Autobots - Season 1 (complete)

With the arrival of BadCube Huff 2.0, I'm able to finally complete that collage of the Season 1 Autobots. Eye glows added, blemishes cleaned up, and figures scaled to taste in post.

There are a few figures I'll want to be replacing. While BadCube Sunsurge looks fine as Sunstreaker, I'm excited for the official figure from Takara. Reximus Prime will likely be switched out for FansToys Grinder X just to be consistent with the rest of the Dinobots in the collage. I'm not that happy with Ace Collectables Tumbler so can't wait to get my hands on some other rendition of Cliffjumper. I also wouldn't mind a more screen accurate representation of Sideswipe.

I'll try and work on the Season 1 Decepticons next, minus most of the Welcoming Committee and Rainmakers, unless someone makes Masterpiece-styled Tetrajets.
