Local idiot forgot to download art fight refs before the site went down despite knowing damn well it would happen.
Worked on this ref for one of my oldest Transformers OCs instead. It's nice to finally have a solid design for them after nearly a decade of them rattling about in my brain.
Fun fact, Skyshift being non-binary predates me realizing I was non binary.
Extra design notes and commentary under the cut.

They were always meant to be a large, seeker-like autobot. Originally they had a more... "standard?" body plan, but as the years went on I kinda just went more and more into them being borderline cryptid-like.
This final design was based a lot on me going "I'm gonna design them as decepticon as possible, monstrous features and all" while still having them be an autobot. If that makes any sense?
Anyways, I'll make a write-up of their personality and backstory eventually, this is just a design reference sheet for mostly my future use. If you're reading this far, thanks? I'm glad my weird little design ramblings might be entertaining.
Elementals are beings of pure magic. Their outside shapes are extremely variable, but in essence, they are cores of condensed magic surrounded by an elemental shell.
Most commonly, as shown in these images, they consist of three magic cores and associated filaments, but some have been seen with as few as a single core, and as many as twelve.
They do not fit any definition of life that we know of, and its unknown if they possess any kind of sentience. They are not known to eat, expel waste and have never been observed reproducing.
The leading theory is that they condense into existence in areas of high elemental magic. Since these theorized areas are impossible to reach (The planet's mantle, high in the atmosphere, depths of the oceans, ect.) the theory cannot currently be proven or disproven.
i feel like being a dragon type trainer would be the pokemon universe equivalent of being a horse girl because the whole thing would just be so complicated and expensive. there’s just no way someone with a dragonite or a salamence is ever going to shut up about having a dragonite or a salamence. something about owning a huge beast
Ahhh, now I can fully comprehend why Megatronus couldn't be allowed to have the matrix. If he got a g-string he'd become truly unstoppable! Good post/tags👍
had a surreal experience at work this morning. i was the only person on the floor when we opened and a customer came over and was like "do you mind if i ask you for help with something?" and when i jokingly said "i don't think you have much of a choice to be honest" he replied "we always have a choice" and then we both just stood there opposite each other like rival wizards of light and dark for several moments.
why are non-offensive moves even an option in pokemon?? im here to kick ass. have fun wasting a turn with your swords dance mirror shield whatever the fuck while i beat the shit out of you. hope you can still enjoy that raised sp attack stat in poke-hell
