OOP,

O you just love to put other fanart to shame. Divine, simply marvelous, and all those adjectives that speak of wonder and awe.

... But love to hate him? Is there an reason for said hatred? While he isn't my favorite, Bolt is a fun character.

Awe, thank you so much, Tor! You're too kind. I think I could have done better on his beast mode but I didn't want to fool around with it and make it worse.

But love to hate him? Is there an reason for said hatred? While he isn't my favorite, Bolt is a fun character.

Well, he just isn't one of my favorite characters. And I don't care if Scott voices him, two of his other characters (Rattrap and Dinobot) are near the top of my list.

I don't know what it is about 'Bolt. I like his beast mode but he's too sappy and romantic for my taste, I guess. He's kind of dorky sometimes.

But he does have his moments throughout the show.

No offense to the Silverbolt fans out there!

Fo sho,

Bolt ISN'T an ideal boyfriend for myself. Too much MUSHY MUSHY. Yucky. (I should post this on relationships...) And has anyone met someone who DOESNT like those too?

Anywhoz, back to your drawing, *rolls eyes in a good natured way* Ya ok, I cannot believe you said that you coulda done BETTER. *haughty sniff* Surly you jest? Lolz.

I'm quite serious, Dinotor. This is very serious business! Okay, not really.

I do think I could've done better with his face on his beast mode. Something seems off but if I had tried to erase something, then that changes the texture of the paper and makes everything... not smooth and worse. It's okay the way it came out.

*big sigh*

Ok I'mma let dis argument drop... for now. You DO after all have a point, after too much earsing the paper is all funky munky. No one like paper that is associated to monkeys.... *siftly slids monkey stationary under desk wid foot*

Anyways, tell me (cuz well I'm a lazy person and don't wanna type deviantart.com in my url) which of the Beast Warriors HAVEN'T you done? And which one is coming next?

*Gets somewhat fangirly* Er um uh heh heh.

Oh what the slag? Fantastic! Such a beautiful drawing. Silverbolt is indeed too much of a "Mushmush" for me,but I love him anyway. *Drools*

What's that supposed to mean? Maybe I like monkey paper!

Who haven't I done yet at all? When it comes to my pencil drawings? Let's see... Airazor, Tigatron, standard Cheetor, TM Cheetor, Inferno, Quickstrike, Terrorsaur, Scorponok, standard Tarantulas, Waspinator, standard Blackarachnia, and Tigerhawk. Huh. Did I miss any because that doesn't sound as many as I thought. Then again, when I think about re-drawing characters the way I've started to draw them now (with both robot and beast modes) then that would be a longer list. XD

As for which one is coming next... I haven't really thought about it yet. Possibly Inferno or Terrorsaur, I guess. Me thinks I need to get more Preds done.

Awe. ^_^ Thank you, Razorclaw!

He does have a pretty cool beast mode.

*quiet going louder and louder*

'Ferny? You mean your gonna draw INFERNO?!?! *loud fangirl squee* OMG I LOVE INFERNO! He's insane so NATURALLY I love him. I cannot WAIT. And if you do Terrorsaur, go girl! He's been labeled eye candy so... *b.h.g.* I wouldnt mind seeing him either. I mean, I'm not trying to sound like demanding or bossy. Oh I'm not good with the words coming out and sounding good thing. *sigh*

You bet I'll draw him! Eventually.

Might be a while with all of those legs, but he has definitely been on my "to do list" more than some of the others.

XD It's okay! I think I know what you mean. ^_^ He'd certainly be easier than Inferno but I like a good challenge, so perhaps the fire ant will be my next decision.

Already commented on DA, but great pic, OOP.

I recall bringing myself to drawing Silverbolt.....but I lost interest in him, for possibly obvious reasons XD So kudos on putting up with him! ;P

You... drawers, and your... real looking... drawings... drawn, realistically.

What I mean, is, uh... great job!

And many thanks again, Jagna. ^_^

Thank you. Yeah, it was pretty tough. *wipes the sweat off of my forehead*

I know what you mean, Jagna. But once I start these kinds of drawings, I always have to finish them no matter how long it'll take me or how much I don't care for the character.

Lol. I found my old Silverbolt pic, wich was a WIP and...man, it sucks XD

Unlike you, I would never DARE try his beast mode. I think I might have once for a little comic strip...I couldn't decide whether he looked more like Scooby Doo or the Loch Ness Monster!

And for that, I take my hat off to you, sir, what what!

Bit late, but I had to post to say how awesome that picture is. I wish I could draw half as good.
