Primal Parodies

Yeah. This was bound to happen sooner or later.

I drew Optimus Primal in beast mode singing and playing the guitar just as his voice actor, Garry Chalk, does. Yes, Garry is left-handed and plays a right-handed guitar, hence the reason the guitar is upside down. He plays at open mics just about every week, and has done several performances at conventions. He is a very talented friend. ...Still waiting for an album, though. Originally I was going to put Optimus in robot mode and paint all of it in acrylic on a larger canvas, but I didn't have time; I wanted it done before TFcon.

Prints will be sold for the first time at TFcon 2011.

Very nice work, OOP. I especially like how his foot is grabbing the mic.

[Optimal Optimus Primal]

Thank you, Alak. I had to do SOMEthing with one of his feet just because gorillas can do that. It was either going to be the mic or a half eaten banana.

[WorpeX]

Wow, I didn't know you could draw too OOP! Very nice! I'm starting to feel like im the only one who can't draw on here. haha

[Optimal Optimus Primal]

Absolutely, WorpeX. I do more Beast Wars pencil art than anything, but on occasion, I'll do something in color. Thank you! Awe, don't worry about it. There are a lot of writers on here as well. I, for one, am not good at writing. I'd rather draw than read or write. I do love reading, it's just that I like to create something I can see and share with everyone else instead.

Now that I think about it, it's been a while since I drew any BW. I think Scorponok was my last one several months ago... Sigh. I just get too busy sometimes. I've been trying to draw all of the characters from the show. Still have a few to go. And then there's the TM's and TM2's...

I'm starting to feel like im the only one who can't draw on here. haha

I'm worse. Want to do an art exchange?

Nice work, as always, OOP. Optimus has a lot of personality in that drawing.

[Optimal Optimus Primal]

Thank you, Blazemane. You think so? I stole the personality from Garry.

[una]

That is an epic drawing, OOP. *thumbs up* Garry has such a nice voice. I just have to say that again.

The picture makes me want to see a singing contest between him and Megatron. XDD

[Optimal Optimus Primal]

Thank you, una!

Gasp! If I had the time, I would totally draw a Battle of the Bands picture with Maximals versus Predacons playing several different instruments, and perhaps some of them acquire injuries with said instruments. Maybe Waspinator would get tangled in a harp, and DC and Rampage would be battling each other with dumb sticks in the background. Sigh. So much time and so little to do. Wait. Reverse that.

HA! You don't want to see my art, its so bad that even abstract artists can't figure out what its supposed to be!

[NaitoKage]

Hm.. Battle of the bands eh? If it is canon only that'd be interest, if it was with OCs.. the Predacons already won.

[Wintersong]

This is cool OOP! And come on Optimus couldn't hide his musical talent forever.

Poor Waspinator. DC and Rampage *hitting each other with sticks*

If I drew well, I would so draw that now but I suck. XDD
