Heavy Metal War Character Art
Posted: Fri May 04, 2018 2:52 am
You've likely seen the HMW forum. It's the very last one on the list of forums. In case you've not visited or know much about it, you build a team of 12 characters from a rotating list of alt images and send them on missions to bring back energon and gain experience points. The images are very simple, but it leaves room for the imagination. I've taken a few of my HMW characters and created concept art for them.
In HMW, I align myself with being a Maximal. While the faction may not exist in the game, using all animal alt images is one of the ways I role play it. I'll show the alt picture provided in HMW for each character shown followed by a brief description and the pictures. So far, I've only created concept art for two of them:
Nightwing
Raven/Panther fuzor
Specific Regions
Fuzor - Robot
Wings - Back
Fur - Shoulders/Hips/Thighs/Behind Calves
Feet (Back) - pull apart to create feet in robot mode
Steelsong
Dolphin
Specific Regions
Dolphin - Robot
Fins - Head
Dorsal - Elbows
Tail - Chest
Nose/Head - Shoulders
Sides - "Wingspan" (on the back)
If you have any questions about them, feel free to ask. I plan to draw their beast modes, also. Possibly smaller pictures for mechanical ideas, as well, such as a step by step of how Nightwing's gauntlets retract, etc.
Anyway, I hope some beast era fan out there enjoys these. Or some HMW nerd like myself
EDIT: I decided to start editing in the newer pictures as I fix the lineart and/or color them. That way, the newer ones aren't scattered throughout the thread Slow process is slow.
