No way! Two can play!

KFC Transistor and Masterpiece Ravage were shot separately and layered on each other. I had to erase part of Transistor's foot, much like they did for the cartoon in this shot. When drawing, the artists can sometimes ignore the realities of a physical body.

Transistor lacks the articulation to match that pose. His butt gets in the way of his leg articulation for a proper back kick. I wanted to keep his face in the shot so I also ended up turning him slightly differently than the source material.

Masterpiece Ravage didn't require any work, except for the eye glow. I added the debris cloud by clone stamping different parts of the figure.

The sky is just from a cloudy summer evening, shot with a Hoya FLW filter. The mountain is the rock formation at Natural Bridges Santa Cruz. The wall and window frames are the Mechanic Chain Base tiles with a Hue Saturation layer applied. This time, I added a subtle streak through the two upper windows to simulate glare.

Run, Blaster! Save yourself!

Interestingly, Tesla is able to hold Rumble and Ratbat in his hands. Unfortunately, his articulation is somewhat limited so I couldn't reproduce the kneeling stance he had in The Movie. I'm still trying to figure out how to make the shadows look more natural.

The cannon is from TFC Toys Thanatos with his body masked out. The tower and and floor are from clone stamping panels of his body with the borders and edges smudged out.

I created the window frames by cutting out and transforming a section of a set of Mechanical Chain Base panels. I really need to learn how to add a shiny glass effect.

The sky, clouds, mountains, and trees are from a local park.
