Thank you too much Guido for create this excellent character !!
Is his car form supposed to be, or at least inspired by, a 1990s Toyota Supra? Great design...
uh... four things...
1.) For some reason it just looks like the character designers for the Michael Bay films totally copied off of this design for their version of Sideswipe (who transforms into the 2011 Corvette Stingray concept). The head design is especially similar.
2.) How the heck do I get a job like yours?!?!?! I would love to just make some drawings for something cool - like, oh say, Transformers - and someone in the biz just happens to see it, like it, and turn it into an official toy that gets mass-produced and put on the shelves for all the other toy and Transformers fans out there to take home! That's been my dream since I was a kid, having been just old/young enough (I'm 26) to buy original, first issue G1/G2 action figures at Toys'R'Us. It must feel pretty good to have something like that happen to you.
I'm really glad that you are sticking to the original design style. They really had something special back then. The designs are simple and easily recognizable; unlike the new movie designs which just look messy and weird. Seriously, if there's one thing I learned from my Character Design class back in my Art Institute days, it's that if you want to know for sure that your character design is good, and that each one can be properly distinguished from the others, black them out so that all you see is a solid black figure with no detail except the outline. "When in doubt, black it out," they say. I guess that was three things...
