Take a look at our updated Main Cast Line up! (tumbleweed for size comparison)
You may have noticed a couple things have changed! The reason is for clarity and to make animation a bit easier. For instance: Rawhide’s glove tassels were removed, and BW’s pigtails were changed to a ponytail, this is for better character mobility and to create clearer silhouettes with the posing. Mayor Rhubarb’s mustache was shaved off as well, since it was hard to keep consistent and made his mouth a bit too busy looking. Part of good character design is making everything clear and simple. You want to add all the bells and whistles that make your character stand out but sometimes its too much and doesn’t really add anything. A simple design that stands out is usually what we strive for! Since our project is still growing and evolving we have the the luxury to change a few things like this for the pilot. Stay tuned later this month for our OFFICIAL TRAILER RELEASE!
I began assigning colours to the values by using a limited palette to create a monochrome effect. By keeping the colouring cohesive I expected it to create a sort of calming atmosphere, but ran into some issues. I originally chose a soft lilac-blue palette inspired by the last line of the poem “the silence of the sands when tides are low”. However, the colours fell flat and made it hard to distinguish details. I experimented with a more vibrant teal, but it resulted in an eerie tonality that didnt suit the theme.
I revisted a blue colour palette, adjusting the contrast between the values to pull some deeper tones from the background. To do this I created a wider gradient in the sky, providing a clear outline for the horizon. The richness of the blue tied the elements of the foreground together nicely without becoming too messy. However, I was still concerned that the monochrome palette would make it hard for the audience to differentiate the time of day shown in the panels.

hello, i was wondering if you knew where the term "lord high-protector" originated from? i see it very often in tf fanon, but i haven't seen such a thing in any canon media i've come across. i once heard a rumor that it's from the novel adaptation of the live-action movies, but i'm not entirely sure. love your works, btw!
Tbh all I know about it is that it comes from Bayverse? Supposedly Optimus was Prime (obviously) and Megatron was Lord Protector and the idea was the Prime and Protector were supposed to rule side by side, with the Prime representing the people and the Protector representing the military?
But this is absolutely something I only know because of fandom osmosis so sadly I'm not a lore authority LMAO
sometimes when i go for a walk i look at the sky and realize that i really love earth & nature like i just get this really nice feel. i love it
