the transformers: electric metal zine is out now!! download it for FREE here!!! <3

HI ALL!!! back after a hot minute with my work for @transformers-electric-metal!!! it's SUCH a cool zine (it's tf ocs!! hello!!!) and i'm so glad i got to participate!! i did art And a fic for this zine, both about my old lady Bramble here, tho they aren't necessarily connected :3 just the same gorl!!

check out the fic here if not in the zine itself!! >:]c (and u can see my buddy @woolydemon's epic spot art piece for the fic HERE!!!!!!!!!!)

anyhow, here we've got the full piece, an unshaded/glassless version (mostly to show off the rust rendering on catbot / show the center bramble without the glass!!), AND a bonus original concept version because. uh. i needed three images to make the post layout look better ok 😭

(special thanks to @dizzyst4rs for helping me so so much with the colors for the corner and top center bramble(s), as they hadn't been designed prior to this and he did bramble's og palette!! :D)

further ramblys contained under a cut thank u <3

SO!! versions of bramble to be specific, clockwise and then center: earthspark (root mode), TFA thorn (pre-experiment), earthspark again (alt mode), botbots, TFA (when she's just 'the catbot'), TFA decepticon au, TFA (alt mode), TFA shattered glass, college au lily, college au bramble, and then good ol' regular TFA bramb in the center! just for anyone curious about cont or anything <3

experimentation has given bramble a pretty shaky mental state, with a lot of struggle trying to figure out what parts of her are really her and whatnot. so i thought expounding upon that by Also including how many different forms of her there are across the TF universe would be fun!! and an excuse to draw all of the TF brambles at once >:3

and also. i swear to god the lights were blue yellow and pink the whole time i worked on this. my horror after hours of shading to realize that my pinks had become purples....... unspeakable.

i have never put this much rendering juice into a piece before ever in my life. please enjoy Pretty Colors and how i painstakingly blended the shading layers together with just a pencil brush at low opacity like a clown

#tf electric metal zine #brambleverse #my ocs #Bay Arts #my art #tf oc #transformers oc #my excuse for not maintagging this is taht there's 3 different conts here and if this shows up in 3 separate maintags i'll die 🫶 #hi long time no see um. smiles. I'M ALIVE. just extremely busy all the time. even if i was Very Behind The Deadline on this it was fun <3!! #also the quality IS a bit crunchy here on tungle but honestly. it's so detailed u can hardly tell #i can only tell bc i've stared at this thing for actual days worth of time LMAO but if u want it in full HD look at it in the zine :3 #ok shuffles back to my cave... work to do and all #robos tag

i made the illustration to accompany my friend @bayheart's fic Spectator, Spectated; A Life in Stasis that features their oc Bramble (awesome old catgirl lady. if u even care. u should btw)

It's honestly really cool for this zine to exist, and include a wide array of people working on it <:] AND it's available for free download !!! so if ur interested in the OCs of the Transformers community, this is deffo worth ur time :D! (download link here)

TAGGED BY @woolydemon​ tank u wooly >:]

Relationship status: single but still disastrous i think

Favourite colour: TEAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i lvoe all blues but particularly light ones with green in them. anything in that blue-green color range. my beloved.

Something I want right now: in this moment i would kill for some sonic tater tots im not going to lie

Song stuck in my head: “in my bones” by ray dalton becauseeee in my drawing playlist it comes right after “final girl” which is the last song i listened to 👇 so my brain. tends to automatically start playing me the next song in the playlist whenever i hear a playlist song 😭

Three favorite foods: shrimp alfredo. um other than that really just any kind of cheesy pasta or seafood so long as it doesn’t have diced veggies (onions, tomatoes, peppers, crushed garlic etc) in it !! powdered is fine tho :] also a big dessert guy i do fucking love milked shake. iced cream. sonic blasts my beloved

Last song I listened to: “final girl” by graveyardguy ft slayyyter because i watched. an animation meme with it <3

Last thing I googled: “the mundane as fuck zone prozd” because something reminded me of that video and i was losing my MIND THINKING ABOUT IT

Dream trip: anywhere to visit my frens <3 idc about travel other than going to see friends. so like mostly the us tho i also have some pals in the uk. but mainly just state-hopping. as a treat.

If you had the opportunity to [safely] become a cyborg via body upgrades, would you take it?: babygirl i’ve had two major surgeries in the last year that involved rearranging the bones in my feet so i can walk without feeling like i’m dying. i’ve had enough upgrades. as much as it would be gender envy as a transformers fan, i think i am good on having parts of me modified ever again actually <3

i am not tagging anyone. love and light hope everyone is doing well out there 💖 

#ooc #i did one of these before and theres at least two overlapping questions and the answers havent changed since the last one #lmfao. my ass does want to visit friends and i DO love me so shimp alfeddy it must be said #we will return to ur regularly scheduled art programming soon <3 presumably. whenever i have smthing to post LMAO #blows all of my followers a little kissy :]

pls help a disabled lesbian and their partner pay off their car so they dont lose their only transportation

hi guys. my partners dad just dropped on us that he is going to be taking the car and thus forcing my partner to move back 5 hours away. our only option is to pay off the car within the next week. we owe 3,500.

i cannot stress how imperative to my health it is that i have someone with me as often as i can. my partner is able to help me get food and water when my joints are dislocated and i cannot walk, he helps me get to the bathroom, etc. i also have no car without my partner and cannot get groceries on my own unless my mom is available. my mom works 5 days a week and most weekends and cannot take me to any doctors appointments or urgent care i need.

we really need help . i really need help. i am at a complete loss of what to do. please donate if you can, even a little helps.

the time to post our finished Lost Bots Zine pieces has come at last!!

a behemoth of a piece, i included all but about 12 canon characters (”about” because 24k-Bit is technically here, in the machine, but not VISIBLE) with duplicates for the main cast as plushies! this was a right doozy to render since it isn’t often that i DO render a piece like this, and if i’d had more time i’d have smoothed the shading a bit more, but i’m still very pleased with how this turned out!!

everyone’s pieces turned out wonderful <3 reminder if you haven’t to check out the finished zine (for free!!) at @ LostBotsZine on twitter!!

extra note, the bot in the very center is Clawsome, who isn’t in the show, but seeing as she’s literally a claw machine that likes to give out prizes, i felt like she needed to be here helping out!!! i offer the show-adapted design i did for her as a bonus treat :3 (based mostly on Anty Farmwell!)

#maccadam #botbots #tf botbots #lost bots zine #if i did character tags it would literally be like 30 tags so. good luck soldiers. that aint happening #i CAN however tag ONE character [points to the cat plushie kikmee is getting for dimlit] #brambleverse #[turns the entirety of botbots into marketable plushies] here u go folks #my art #Bay Arts #robos tag

HELLO ALL! very excited to finally show something i’ve been chipping away at for the last few months :]

baby’s first MAP call, fully (like 98%) boarded by yours truly! and with very lenient polish constraints, seeing as it has a strict deadline to take part in a Big Bang event coming in late January!

i’m glad to finally have this ready to open, and i hope you are all amused and bewitched by Firestar’s epic silly swag <3

if you are interested in participating, all needed info is in the video description :3!
