Starscream's Triumph

Starscream's Triumph

It's my interpretation of the scene where Starscream and Bruticus best Megatron. Zeta Toys Armageddon stood in for Bruticus. Fortunately, Revoltech Starscream and Megatron figures work well enough scale-wise so I didn't have to muck with blending and rescaling larger figures.

The background mountains to about mid-frame desert ground is from a photo I found online. I bashed in my own photos of a dried lake bed for the foreground and sunset, and sky for the background. I briefly toyed with the idea of taking the set to the park, but at almost 20 inches, Armageddon is rather unwieldy and I didn't want to lose any pieces in the cracks.

A Good Bot Goes to War

A Good Bot Goes to War

I've been in a bit of a creative slump lately. Fortunately, the model kit has a nice box cover that served as inspiration for this scene.

Instead of the usual white background picture to start with, I took a long exposure against a black background, using my cell phone screen to paint the lighting. Then, it was a matter of bashing together a bunch of downloaded images.

The background is from a downloaded screen capture from War for Cybertron. The Earth is from NASA's website. The muzzle flash, sparks, smoke, and explosion are from stock photos.
