The Good, The Bad and The Powerful

Description from dA:

This was a birthday gift I sent to a very good friend of mine. ^_^ I couldn't ask him to pick one specific favorite character from Beast Wars since he'd probably know what I was doing, so I just chose two that I know he likes. :wink: I used Optimal Optimus and standard Megatron because no matter how grim things looked for Primal, he was either a step behind Megatron's intentions or a step ahead. Since Primal acquired one of the most powerful bodies in the series before Megatron, he was ahead in that sense and that of course made Megs very angry and jealous. And that's why I gave him such an angry face behind Optimus. :lol:

In the screen shot I used for Optimus, about half of his upper left arm (his left, which would be our right) was missing, so I actually had to use the toy as a reference to finish it. I think it came out all right but some of the angles look a little off. Ah well.

Medium:

References:
Beast Wars Season One & Season Three DVD's

(I never remember to jot down which episodes I get my screen shots from but I'm sure their poses look familiar to you fellow fans.)

Very nice! I suppose I don't know what else to say, because I'm not all that good with artistic terms, but all I know is that this looks very impressive.
