Hey #portfolioday! I'm a former full-time concept artist in games trying to make it in freelance 😅. I specialize in, and love doing character design/turnaround! Here's some work from a Transformers project I really enjoyed working on! 🎨 - ThreadSky

Hi! I just want to say that I was a big fan of Transformers: Heavy Metal when it came out and I played that game until the servers closed in my country. A big part of it was the art style that you managed to bring to life so beautifully with these concept arts! Thank you for working on it!!

Thank you for the kind words and for playing it! I've never had many chances to talk with someone who got to actually play it, so this truly means a lot to me! I was incredibly proud of the work we put in and was so sad more people didn't get to experience the game. I'm glad you enjoyed it!

Lol when designing for this game, I took a lot of inspiration and ideas from the toys themselves, which required watching these commercials and playing with the toys. Such a fun time 😂

Fortress Maximus, baby.

Is that a turbo fox?

I can see the similarities! But this guy was a minicon named Critical who you could summon to perform an attack while in combat :)

📌 These character sheets are really cool, they have a lot depth and weight to the designs

I'm very glad you think so, that means a lot!! Thank you!

You... drew the transformation sequence with accomodations for both the robot and vehicle mode... adding detail and greebling on a design is impressive, and one thing, but designing two distinct forms and illustrating the transition between them???
Holy shit, that's good.

I appreciate that! We had some very skilled animators who took on most of figuring out transformations, but occasionally I got to make some sketches and notes on the process! It was a challenging but fun experience!

I'm glad it sounds like it was a good experience! I can definitely say the art itself is absolutely stunning, probably some of my new favorite TF designs. Thank you for sharing!
