Batwave concept š¤ā¦ except also bugwaveā¦. I wanna implement both of those thangs (because of how the poll went). I couldnāt figure how his face would look so Iāve come to the conclusion that his visor(?) Is his face š (tho thereās a chance I might change it to a human head,, not sure yet) itās just that he mimics a human by tucking his head in a certain way thatās convincing enough, trust.. as for the bug stuff? Itās more subtle Iād say, sure the exoskeleton is a clearer thing (yes that technically means heās shirtless in this one, boy cover up!!!) but there are biological things happening that I donāt feel like explaining yet š just know I spent a whole night researching certain bugs. For his bat side I mostly referenced fruit/flying fox bats cuz their slim faces worked best with him
I felt like there wasnāt enough obviously-bug stuff going on so I kinda wanted to give him two pairs of wings like bugs do, but Iām not sure yet if they Are bat wings or if theyāre like bug wings that mimic bat wings š¤ which would be preferred??? Usually though, in this au thing heād have them covered/hidden, kinda like how mantids or beetles would have their wings flush to the body and typically seem hidden. Tho a part of me still wants to give him insect wings cuz it matches his usual streamlined body yknow?
Iāve been drawing my Human Soundwave always covering his neck because I always imagined it to be how heād hide his non-humanness š¤ not sure how tall he is yet tho. Likely very tall tbh, maybe his visor thing is the equivalent of a bug face (exoskeleton) ,,, yet is shaped like a batās head. If that makes sense
Bonus the line art just cuz I like how it is⦠since bugs are like the top dogs in mimicry I like to imagine Soundwave going in on that š similar to how many people like to think Prime Soundwave looks like a sparkeater! Soundwave here? Mostly not human. But pretends to be and is good at it
I've been working on Megatron and Optimus's designs in the AU!
Still not done but I have to go on a trip starting tomorrow and I want to draw a lil doodle before I go!
[ Reminder that if you have asks @ene-ask is my new ask box now to keep things organized ]
My brain is in demand for SG soundstar atm...but I'd have to finish my long list of: things I wanna write which is rather long and all SoundStar related or adjacent (starwavewave)
-tf es
-tf prime
-tfone
generally you shouldn't write run-on sentences because they get confusing and it doesn't give the reader a break. that doesn't apply to me though my run-on sentences are fun and understandable and they have a rhythm to it that makes you want to keep reading
Ulchtars descend into madness
I really like the idea of Cybertronians and jewelry. It's cute and the influences from Earth are adorable to imagine on a giant alien robots servo.
I can go along with this Earth custom
So. Yknow the whole Soundwave does have a face Hc vs does not have a face?? I was wondering how a no face Soundwave would have applied to a human version of him; and my conclusion is that that boy is NOT normal š kinda like how TFP Soundwave was intentionally designed to be more alien and freaky looking compared to everyone else I figured well hey. If Soundwave aināt even normal among Cybertronian standards why should he be normal among human standards? Make him a humanoid 𫵠I havenāt yet fleshed out what heād look like without the hat tbh so the ears? Might not stay idk. But Ravage and the birds all still love their boy even if heās a cryptid and Frenzy and Rumble think heās so cool instead of being unnerved š
That statement is going to live rent free in Starscream's spark
more bayverse human star!! This time with more sketches in exploration of his flight suit again :3 āļø
gave him digi stilts to help with landing and jumping (think aperture boots) anddddd cool implants to sync up with his āwingsā it uses nerve stuff and muscle movement (think how some moveable hand prosthetics work! Except more futuristic Iām not a scientist)
You can't convince me D-16/Megatron didn't write Megatronus fanfics
The reason he beats up Starscream in the TFO universe is because he says his fanfics suck. While The rest of the high guard gives him constructive criticism.
