Painting and Progression
On color-wise, it took me a long time to consider the color of the sky, and it also went through a lot of changes. Originally it was sky blue. However after many adjustments, the color of the sky is now closer to yellow, which makes the whole tone of the picture more unified.
Coloring - First I polished up the sketch a little bit, and change the position of Megatron from lower place to the higher, that’s for strengthen the feeling of crackdown in the composition.
Then painted on the base color with brush under brush mode “color”. This was to create the basic tone of the color.
Then detailing OPTIMUS PRIME preliminary, and pay attention to the reflection of the flake, it should be strengthen.
Altering the Arms - Since the pose was designed by me, it was a difficult job to make sure Prime's parts were true to his original design. I did a lot of researches through Internet; some were public still photographs from the film, and some were character designs for propaganda use. But these sources were all done in various stages, so there were a lot of differences. For instance, Prime's head and arms already had many different versions; I had to pick the most suitable one that would look good from the angle I designed, and of course added up some imaginations. So Prime's arm went through many adjustments before it was completed..
