Artist's Comments

From Shakespeare's, "As You Like It":
I pray you, do not fall in love with me,
For I am falser than vows made in wine (...)


So I watched Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen the other day. Aside from the Decepticons, it was pretty much shit, so to heal the pain, I went home and popped in my Beast Wars DVDs, because Beast Wars is awesome as hell. :D

Dinobot/Megatron (or Megatron/Dinobot, I ain't picky), my beloved Beast Wars OTP. They'resoinlove and sotooproudtoadmitit~! :(

I love Beast Wars and never really came across this pairing actually. I love the quote with it, it fits perfectly. I love the parts with the Decepticons in the movie they were the best parts but I wouldn't go as far as to say it was sit. There is plenty of parts to pick apart but it's a summmer movie and it's by Michael Bay so we know what to expect. I wish they would come out with another Transformers cartoon that had the same quality as Beast Wars.

Ohmy god, that's the perfect quote for them. <3
The details in this are amazing. I love Dinobot's scales.

There needs to be more of this pairing.

Dinobot looks like a femme. Jaw, neck, and chest all too thin, and the mouth doesn't resemble his at all. I actually thought this was a picture of femmebots at first. Megatron has a girly mouth too, but it's less pronounced.

Interesting OTP. I could see this, but only if it was one-sided. Dinobot may've loved Megatron once, but he hates him pretty sincerely now. Megatron still seems to carry a twisted attraction around, though. He certainly cloned him often enough.
:iconneffinesse:
No, he doesn't.

... oh! Sorry! I figured I was allowed to state my opinion as fact too. What I meant to say is that no, I draw femmes as looking quite different from that, so my style considered, no, he does not look like a femme. It's not a carbon-copy of the style Beast Wars itself uses, nor is it meant to be. Also why I changed several design elements.

And the pairing works quite well as two-sided for me. :) Hate doesn't preclude love or obsession, especially not in TF-verse (Silverbolt/Blackarachnia, for one).

Eh, between the racist caricatures and the complete neutering of poor Mikaela's character, I honestly found the Decepticons to be the only highlight of that movie. YMMV, though. :)

And I agree! We could use some more Beast Wars, or at least the quality of it, we really could. :heart:

I'm glad! I spent too long scouring Shakespeare quotes for it! ^^; (C'mon, it's Dinobot; it'd have to be Shakespeare!)

And I heartily agree. But given that I'm being pounced upon, both here and elsewhere, by people apparently intent on dissing this pairing, well, I can't blame people if they don't want to draw it. ._.

There was a lot of things wrong with the movie but with the racist part. I know a lot of people think the 'twins' were a racist stereotype, however in the first movie all the autobots were extreme sterotypes b/c they learned earth's language and behavior from the internet and the Internet is nothing but stereotypes but in the second movie those characters had settled down b/c they had been on year for some time. If the twins were new to earth then their personalities would be over the top and perhaps racist. Although I thought they kinda of acted like preteen white boys that were pretending to be black but that is just my opinion. Mikaela's character was slaughtered and Megan's Fox acting was horrible. I really liked Optimus Prime in the second movie, in the first he wasn't bad ass enough and I liked his death scene a lot. I love starscream, although I can't stand his design (lol) and the Fallen was a bit of a let down. And so was the new autobots, I just wish they had the twins be the real twins Sunstreaker and Sideswipe and have the Jet Judo!

Oh well, it was overall a good movie so I can't complain too much it was entertaining

It's because more people ship DinobotXRattrap than MegsXDinobot.

I'm of the opinion that it was a lover's spat before episode 1 that drove Dinobot to the edge, the last straw was the crash on not-yet-known-as-Earth. "I told you we should have stopped and asked for directions *snarlfrown*"

Also, Megs is one of the few taller than DB, which is awesome.

The only thing better than MegatronXDinobot is a threesome between Dinobot, Megatron and Rattrap.

That's not what I meant. I meant he looks like a girl. It's the shape of the neck and mouth, mainly, though the arms don't help. Megatron is afflicted with a lesser version of the same thing. I thought you might be more used to drawing women, as many artists who are have a difficult time getting used to male figures. I thought you wouldn't mind a bit of critique. Forgive my impertinence.

(Silverbolt and Blackarachnia hated each other? Since when? BA thought he was, at most, more than a little annoying. Silverbolt was smitten with her, even when she tried to kill him.)
:iconneffinesse:
No, see, crit is stuff I can use, and I don't mind that. If you told me their heads might be too big or small, or that there's something wrong with the general anatomy (for one, I think now that Dinobot's arm is a bit off) or that the lighting might need work. But that they're skinny and girly? Shit, look at my gallery! Actually, no, here, I'll help you:

'Girly' is what I draw. It's how my art looks. It's how I draw lips and necks on everyone. Critiquing that is more than useless, it's silly, because a quick browse could tell you that's how I draw. Now, if you disagree with my style, don't let me stand in your way; plenty of people dislike the style, and they have every right to, but you must be the first person to pop along who tells me I should change what amounts to a deliberate choice because you feel that it looks wrong.

(At most annoyed? She seemed pretty damn hateful to me, beating him up, trying to shoot him several times, getting thoroughly angry that he wouldn't fight back.)
