Warring At Play

[Polenicus]

You guys are gonna hate me for this...

UPDATE

CHAPTER 2 END.

Notes:

1. What's going on?: Yes, the Chapter ends here, with a cliffhanger. What happened to Arnval? Did the Autobots ever pull their heads out of their exhaust? Did Scourge survive Megatron's displeasure? That will have to wait for Chapter 3!

2. The Sideways component is part of a request for his use by Sage 'o G-Fruit. Sideways will be appearing eventually in his comic, here: http://www.tfw2005.com/boards/transform ... fruit.html

3. Chapter 3 will start soon, I promise!

And a special bonus! The splash screen for chapter 3!

Chapter 3 Start

Notes:

1. My first attempt at CI's cloak effect. Not quite right, but I'm sure I can make it work better next time.

2. I indulged a bit in Seeker flybys. The MP Seeker mold is just such a joy to do flight sequences with. They really have the best alt modes of all the Masterpieces, IMHO.

3. The 'two cannon' mode of Murmeltier requires TWO Murmeltiers. I only have one, so... sorry. But she's quite sufficiently awesome on her own.

[NamelessChibi]

Yes! Mur! Granted she's a bit more... "Let's make a deal" type then how I think of her, but it works. Granted I can see this version switching sides if things no longer go her way. Still that is nice.

Deep man. Real deep. Now things are getting more interesting.

[LJS]

I like where this is heading.

[Caterwaul]

Really enjoy those fly by shots.

[Polenicus]

I'm sorry it took so long to get this out! I'm adjusting to my new work schedule (12 hour shifts... ugh) and the warm, muggy weather doesn't help my energy levels any (Sleep? What's that?).

BUT! I have managed to squeeze out a small update for you guys.

Enjoy!

UPDATE!

Notes:

1. The muzzle glow effect on Megatron's fusion cannon was provided by Chaos Incarnate. Thanks Chaos! (Now to figure out how he did it...)

2. Masterpiece Megatron can be INCREDIBLY imposing and regal if shot from the right angle.

3. *Sigh* Strarf's gotten a little weepy, hasn't she? Don't worry, she'll suck it up soon enough. I just always interpret her as less a jaded bad girl, and more a bundle of emotions without a whole lot of filtration.

4. I should NOT be having this much fun with Decepticon political wrangling...

I should NOT be having this much fun with Decepticon political wrangling...

What? I think that the Decepticons political like speech makes them that much more evil.

[Xehn]

You've got a duplicate panel, there.

(Now to figure out how he did it...)

Radial Gradient + Alpha Transparency? Personally, I could do it in SVG, but have no idea how to apply that to GIMP or Photoshop.
