I remember Shockwave calling Skids "a great student" so I love that he's kinda taken Shockwave's place. I love the foreshadowing in this comic.

I also do remember though how Shockwave was bit by him so many times that two was "significantly less" than his record so shout-out to him for that.

Skids was a feral aggressive wild child newspark when Shockwave found him. There was a lot of biting and screaming and punching involved. He definitely had this "scared cat in a vet clinic" kind of vibe hehe

Which would be impossible to guess based on his current behavior~

I have learned painfully exactly why you draw clothes to cover the hard stuff. I have also learned I suck at trying to draw clothes on Cybertronians.

Any tips?

My number one tip is to use references. Whenever I don't know how a certain piece of fabric could be fitted onto a metal shape I go "bruh wait humanity has been wearing metal armor combined with clothes for a very long fucking time they definitely know the way".

This is how I started drawing all those robots wearing clothes underneath their shoulder pads/armor. That was huge. Those freaking shoulders would look so incredibly goofy if I tried to pack them inside clothes lmao

I would also advise to make sure the clothes fit the characters vibe. If you're trying to tell a story I mean. Clothes that don't fit the character usually ruin the entire design pretty effectively. It's like "he would not fucking say that" but "he would not fucking wear that" you get what I mean right :)

Awhile back in Spellbound, when Blurr mentioned when he was born, Shockwave was a bit surprised, right? Is that because of the time he spent with the Fae, or does he just have those really good robot genes?

Shockwave got surprised because he was headcanoning Blurr as a much younger mech. Because yes Blurr doesn’t even have a fucking house but his overall condition is surprisingly good for a bot who spends 90% of his time walking through forests and bogs and mountains and stuff :D For. Mysterious reasons…….it might be genes it might be fae it might be both. There’s a fun twist to it, I don’t want to spoil it yet hehe

Interesting how Skids appears to be filling the role left empty by Shockwave becoming a demon. Particularly how in his conversation with Blurr a lot of his appearance and mannerisms evokes almost an image or a reminder of Shockwave. Because it’s easy to imagine that Shockwave’s absence left quite the void initially. And how to fill that void? How to learn to do something none of them have ever done before? Well one way would seemingly be to learn from example. Learn to mimic what had previously been done. Mimic what Shockwave had done. And by extension mimic Shockwave himself.

Though that then opens a question. The council very distinctly wanted to get rid of Shockwave. Not only get rid of him, but do so in a way that set a very public example. In a way that allowed for no possible questioning or doubt of the Council’s judgement because it was not the Council’s judgement at all but rather appeared as the judgement of Primus.

So what then does that leave if Shockwave’s academy carries on? And not only does it carry on, but does so in a way that maintains Shockwave’s legacy. And even beyond that that the individual leading the effort to maintain all of that is not only ensuring everything Shockwave started continues but also more and more taking on a likeness to Shockwave in doing so.

Skids is Shockwave’s younger copy except. Not really. He makes sure the legacy is carried on. He fills the role his mentor had. He does that the way Shockwave would but smarter. Cleverer, quieter. Unlike Shockwave he knows what exactly the stakes are and he has a faint idea of how much is too much.

It’s like making a run of a particularly difficult level in a video game after watching someone else failing to complete it. You don’t have the winning strategy but you confidently know what to expect and what to avoid. So you make your preparations less random and your strategy more specific that what the previous person had.

If I had to put it into perspective. The Senate used Shockwave as an example of what would happen to anyone trying to go “against Gods will”.

With Orion - it worked perfectly and Orion became too afraid of consequences to do anything. He got scared to try because he doesn’t want to end up a demon. For him it was a proof of some higher being being in control of peoples lives.

With Skids however - Skids took that as a tactical information. He learned what triggers the punishment and decided to work with that information. It wasn’t “oh no I should stop entirely” but instead “oh now I know how much I can push the limits before the reaction comes”.

……..also Skids has a uh. Rather unique condition/magical ability. Giving up and living a normal life isnt really an option to him. He either fights for his(and other monsters) right to live peacefully or he gives up and has to hide for the rest of his life.

Some fun reveals are happening

kef is really living the dream, living in a practical cottage in the woods, one(?i don't know if that's the word, english is not my strong suit) with nature and drawings

not helping the fortune cookie forest gremlin rumors though

I am not even gonna try to deny the rumours hhaha I very much am. A forest gremlin.

[keferon]

You mentioned you have a summer house. Can you tell us something about it? For example, what do you do there? Do you have your own vegetable garden? And have you ever thought about decorating the fence in a unique way? Personally, I have a lot of plans for my imaginary dacha :D

I didn't say it was a summer house I said it was a forest house. A house in a forest. (In the woods?) In which I live all year:D There are apple trees and cherry trees and some berry bushes around it. I don't know the proper english names for most of the berries though. Only blueberries and strawberries. I'm too lazy to look up the names for other ones, there's like ten more of them.

The garden also has some greens and vegetables. And fuckton of frogs and lizards napping in it constantly haha.

And spiders. There is. Just insane amout of spiders everywhere and half of them are pretty much citizens of the house at this point.

And me well I make cartoons and draw yaoi and then I go outside and touch grass.

I know people have said this before but

The wag you draw facial expressions is amazing

They’re so so silly

Djfgfiskdh thank you:D I am allowing them both more expressive freedom now when the threat is less about despair and depression and more about real creatures that you can run from hehe

Wait a second....if all ur bots in ur TF AUs all wear CLOTHES, does that mean... that this is one of the painfully rare instances where ....the TF bots are ... just straight up a clothes wearing species that think of naked-ness the same way WE do? Because in a lot of AUs, the bots consider taking off their outer armor shells as NAKED. Get where I'm going with this????

They wear clothes in the same sense as we wear jewelry and hats. For prettiness and for protection against weather. Drift doesn't wear any clothes at all and he is just seen as not fashionable for that.

At least that's the lore. The real reason is that I had to survive drawing over five hundred pages of robots so I used clothes to cover up the most hard-to-draw parts. Which are hips and shoulders mostly.

Like I know that in tf fandom space clothes are usually used as a way to make robot designs spicy or more interesting by adding shapes and details to already existing ones but my way is the opposite way, I use clothes to reduse the amount of details and save my wrists from carpal tunnel👍

Thanks for mentioning Vector prime in one of ur comics! He is my favorite!

Oh an excuse to yap about Vector:o He is absolutely precious to me hehe. I remember seeing him for the first time in tf cybertron and thinking “who the fuck is that….wait hold on THE OLD MAN IS A PRIME???” I had completely forgotten that Optimus isn’t the only Prime in existence because every show ever concentrates super hard on Optimus being a Prime.

Anyway. There was always a lot of little details hinting at the Thirteen in Tf cartoons. Artefacts and old tech and other stuff. But it was never alive people. So I got really used to thinking about them as uhhh..flat background lore? Relics of the past.

And then Vector showed up PERSONALLY and jumpscared me with all the cool shit he could do>:D Like, fuck the artefacts! We have the creator himself here! He does cool stuff and gives advice and bends time and space and knows tons of random lore he isn’t supposed to know. Most importantly he had enough screen time for me to start caring about him. That’s hella rare for a Prime who isn’t Optimus. In animation at least.
