Description "You're human," Sam blurted.

A ripple went through the transformed Sparks - anger? Amusement? Exasperation? "Sam Witwicky," Optimus said, "It would be a big mistake for you, or anyone else, to assume that we are human in anything but shape."

So, big thing in Transformers-fandom-ville seems to be 'humanizing' the bots, through holograms or whatever. Good times, except everyone always seems to make them 1) prettyboys, and 2) without any sign that they are, in fact, aliens. Occasionally, you might get a cyborg version, but still.

Which are nice, don't get me wrong (oh, some of them are so nice |3 ), but I like the idea of them still showing some sign of alien-ness.

Which my brain interprets as 'LOL GLOWY LINES AND WEIRD RUNE-TATTOOS'. Obviously. I also had this... idea, where their Sparks were actually liquid metals, and thats what shaped into human form, 'cause I has issues thinking of a hologram as a solid object => metal texture under the skin. LISTEN TO ME RAMBLE.

All the rune tattoos (minus Ratchet's chest, Ironhide's arm, Primes face, and Jazz's hip, those are stolen from Ben Proctors site or the movie) actually do say something. GUESS AND WIN COOKIES.

Jesus, these took me way too long. But they were fun. 'Cause I enjoy mucking around in Photoshop way too much. Also, would it kill the movie guys to release good, clear, straight-on views of Ratch, 'Hide and Jazz? A back view would be nice, too.

This is amazing! I love the colors and how you made the tattoos glow!

Sorry for the lateness of reply. I use Photoshop, and I'm unfamiliar with Gimp, but I hope this helps.

The glow lines are done with a hard brush on one layer, set to linear dodge. I copy that layer, place it under, blur it, and set it for hard light and outer glow. The runes are done in two layers, one normal and one normal at 67% opacity. The upper layer is textured, the lower layer is flat color.

My guess? The runes are their names in Cybertronian...and seeing you have more than one set on each character, I'd also hazard a guess that you also have their rank/what they are written in runes also. Great job on them!

The italics are from a shifty kinda-fic that hangs out in the back of my mind and whispers 'wriiiiite meeeeee'. It may or may not ever see the light of day, but it entertains me in the meantime.

Ratchet is afraid of your shenanigans.

I haven't decided yet, for the twins; they'll either be 80s-esque glam rock prettyboys, or blond-haired clones of a younger Brad Pitt (Sides) and Angelina Jolie (Sunny)

Mmm yes. Give us some MEN at least in build-quality if not human mindsets, eh?

*has the horrible urge to throw Ironhide into a white T and set him to cleaning*

Wonder if those tatts change in intensity? i.e. mad = brighter, sad/tired = faded out. Or if they drink energon the colors contrast more...

Mmm-hmm. Men for the motherin' win.

In my own personal brain-dump, that may not be so far off. I can see him being a closet neat-freak xD

Yeah, methinks they would. The brightness of their eyes would be a better indicator of their mood, but the spark-lines will shift, too. And they can fade them out completely to blend in better, though they can't get rid of all of the metallic undertones.

You win at life! So yeah cookies galore for you, oh and have an interwebz! *hands over cookies and interwebz* I like the fact that you made them all human, but obviously not human like, it's really cool. They would totally make awesome nightlights, being all glowy like. I love them all, but I have to admit I love Ratchet the best. lol

I WANT TO TOUCH RATCHET!!!!!!!!!!!! (specifically his glowing lines, but I suspect I might die if I do D8) Oh well! *touch*

Can i has Ratchet and Ironhide?........and Jazz?........and Prime?(those be some sexy hips).......and Bumblebee?(I really want to touch his purple glowy lines)

You should totally make more glowy alienhumanforms of decepticons and other autobots! (it would totally be sexy!)

I think you mentioned it but I would totally love to see Prime's front, and the others rears.

lol rear=butt

I rambled D8

I have the 'Con's of the first movie in my gallery somewhere, and I has plans for a few more Autobots floating around (Wheeljack, Arcee, the twins, the OTHER twins and a few others) I doubt I'm going to make a montage strip like I did here, but they'll show up. Sometime
