Hi sorry just wanted to let you know it looks like there’s an account on here that’s reposted your art translated in another language (I think Russian) without credit ):

Here’s the link to the post I saw specifically, I’m not sure if there’s anything to be done about it, but I thought you should know either way since you’re definitely not the only one they’re reposting like this

Thank you very much for letting me know 🤧 I will report them and I hope others do as well cuz I can see this person isn’t just reposting my art, other people as well, and they are taking out watermarks too so reporting I think is just the best option or letting people know they’re just stealing works and to avoid them

Everyone gets bummed out every now and then.. and yes, even Sir Soundwave 😔 where’s that smile cool attitude of his… but to be fair to him the autobots in Sg are all demons 😭 extra evil just for the love of the game and Soundwave still is the type to forgive them for almost everything if he thinks they still have a chance to change. But that’s just the goat for you

[dailymothanon]

After a long loud day at work, Soundwave does Not need more loudness at home too Blaster 😒 just some Blasterwave fluff… anyways idk why I chose such a time consuming rendering method but yknow I really like how it looks so 😮‍💨 worth it I think…

[dailymothanon]

That’s not just Soundwave’s burning energon, is it? Anyways I had this concept in my head for a good while 🤔 it’s just that the pose was quite hard to get.. yeah yeah another post about ES Soundwave losing a cassette who woulda thought 🙄 but in my defense Earthspark barely touched Soundwave like at all, so I’m just working with what I got…

[dailymothanon]

I really liked how in tfa everyone (not from earth) had Cybertronian alt modes at some point in the show… but of course, Soundwave being a creation of Earth he doesn’t have one 😭 lil guy feels left out, Megatron didn’t plan him to appeal to Cybertronian standards and biology for a reason so now he’s stuck to more human standards

[dailymothanon]

This (from the TFOne dnd? Rule handbook thing) kinda gives me the (hc?) idea that maybe Soundwave was a big lead in translating quintesson language and making quintesson translator tools for the primes, which lead partially towards Sentinel being able to make that deal with the Quintessons maybe 🤔

Tho I’m sure Quintessons simply sorta just had the tech to understand cybertronians or something, idk if that means they can speak it tho; and I’m also sure there’s a Prime that could’ve also translated quintesson language too but idk like anything about them so… Anyways I couldn’t figure out any pieces to draw for this idea so I just wanted to write it out; Idk if it’s a lame idea or not tho I just wish continuities let Soundwave have more significant impacts and roles 😮‍💨 cuz imma be honest he somehow does everything and nothing at the same time

[dailymothanon]

Girl why are you so legs… like 70% leg 🙄 but hey it makes him look real cute so who really cares… I assume clearly his beautiful pinups encourage people to join the high guard 🙄 and ofc moral support, cuz who wouldn’t feel better after looking at Soundwave…

[dailymothanon]

..Maybe check your gifts before giving them next time, Prime 💔 it’s gonna take even longer to earn Soundwave’s trust now, as if it wasn’t already hard enough to get this far 😭 not only that but he’s gonna be sulking for like a week thinking about the documentary

[dailymothanon]

The most evil couple you know and they always got their eye on each other like this 🤨 really makes you wonder how they ever get anything done but then again their competition isn’t doing much of anything productive either… alas, drawing and coloring tfp is hell 😭 whoever draws em a lot are soldiers cuz that ain’t me

[dailymothanon]

The very optimized tactic of unconsciously grabbing yourself whilst focused on a thing you’re looking at/doing is even utilized by the likes of Soundwave… well, he just seemed like the type to 🙄 I’m sure the other high guard members ask him to stop but what do they know really 😒 talking like that to the one guy that does everything in there too smh

[dailymothanon]

Thundersound BoomMic Soundcracker whatever you guys are called.. you’re still important and special to me 💙🩵 it’s been a good while since I’ve done a simple ship piece where they’re just existing 🤔 which is surprising to me cuz I’m a huge sucker for mundane stuff… which is good for a quiet pair like these two

[dailymothanon]

Blaster you cannot possibly have just fumbled by saying highkenuinely by accident 💔 looking at Soundwave thinking “yes he’ll know what that means”, clearly not.. go home buddy 😭 that guy works too much to be online like that (unless he hears about weird non-words from the twins 😒) (edit that I forgot to also say yes I was quite inspired by how Lintu draws transformer faces cuz it’s so scrumptious every time 🤤)

[dailymothanon]

Random thinking rant but I’m of the HC that cassette-based frames used to be much more common and beneficial back then but as Cybertron grew and advanced there simply was less need of them for survival so less bots of that frame type were forged with the functions maybe 🤔

So essentially a dead or dying cybertronian culture, and maybe lots of cassette-based frames reformatted over time too because of it; just my headcanon for why Blaster & Soundwave are basically the only cassette hosts we tend to see tho (even then Blaster barely is there anymore)

I think it could lead to a lotta misconceptions about cassette based frames too 🤔 w the forgotten knowledge of their culture, biology, and their lesser known benefits, maybe there’s even aversion to them as they might be viewed as outdated and useless

[dailymothanon]

I was a lil bit in the mood for some Bat Soundwave (featu. A tiny Ratbat friend to be like the mini head piece that Soundwave always has) sketching 🦇 … in a marching band(?) uniform, because well. It’s Soundwave, it’d fit 🙄 it’s kinda a mix of TfOne and G1 in my head here, originally it was gonna be just TfOne but it wasn’t working out too well so, a mix is also fine 😌 who really cares anyway.. idk where this style came from but whatever

[dailymothanon]

Sometimes when I’m bored I squeeze my purple coworker’s (who tried to scrap my cassette daughter son) Shorb like a stress ball and he scream loud as fuck 😂😂😂

Sigh. I don’t think we’ll ever get a Soundwave backstory in skybound to explain anything about him and his cassettes or his loyalty. It’s a shame but the franchise be damned to give Soundwave some actual character to him that actually means something to his plot in some way 😮‍💨

[dailymothanon]

Nothing goes past Soundwave asides from social skills I guess 😭 I never really noted how tastes were also part of the many strong senses Soundwave has in Idw 🤔 so I guess all of hearing, sight, smell, and taste are heightened, but idk if touch is? In Marvel, it is, but I can’t really recall if his touch in IDW is as well.. but on top of that, his telepathy is strong and he has canonical synesthesia…. He’s just living in a overstimulation simulator hell all the time

[dailymothanon]

When things are rough and you’re nothing but angry and sad but also you’re not really the drinking type 😓 Soundwave really does have it tough huh, dedicated your life and passion to the cause just for it to leave you behind and you leave you for a dude with a receding hairline 😮‍💨 yeah my style is more sloppy today but it’s much later than I usually draw so I didn’t have too much time to work on the line art this time and it’s fine as is I think
