Something interesting I noticed in MMR is that Skywarp and Mirage’s conjunxing capes, in addition to including design elements from each others wings, and wheels, and the architecture as you stated, appear to resemble each others faction symbols. I’d have to assume that was intentional?

Hello hello!

For other's reference, this is what anon is referring to, it's included in MMR Part 1's extras at the end :)

Was it intentional to have them resemble their faction symbols? :D to be completely honest, that was unintentional! I wish I had thought of it now, because I completely see what you mean!

I think trying to maintain that pointy wing-shape in the design made Mirage's cape more arrow-like, like the Decepticon insignia. Whereas Skywarp's cape is more softly slanted so the other components wouldn't clash with the wheel shapes; that lends it to look more like the less-angular Autobrand. The circular shape at the top is positioned perfectly too! But no, I can't say it was on purpose. Hehe.

Thank you for the ask <3333!!!

just read both parts of my matchless refuge and i love it soooo much!!! spywarp have such an interesting dynamic, im so curious to see where it goes. i love your worldbuilding too; the explanation of the roost in part 2 was really cool!! and i especially loved the panels in part 2 where skywarp takes off and mirage transforms to watch him, and then on the next page where skywarp is floating upside down. so gorgeous!!! also enjoying the little omakes at the end hehehe.

all is to say, thank u for your hard work creating such a fun juicy comic, i’m excited to follow along as you post more!!! :D

Aahhh!! Hello hello!!! Thank you so much for reading ;u;) The scenes you noted were some of my favourites to draw and I really liked how they turned out! So I'm really cheesed you enjoyed those parts!!! Also the omakes!!! I always have little extras that it'd be kinda sad to let them all collect dust unseen. (..◜ᴗ◝..)

This was encouraging to read, I appreciate the message, thank you again!

1986 spoilers ig i'm just using this as a place to put a singular thought

So I've seen old fans complain about how Rodimus got Optimus killed and how they'll never forgive him, but I'd never saw the scene until now and OOMG HE WAS TRYING TO HELP LMAOOOO THIS IS NOT WORTH HOLDING A 40 YEAR GRUDGE

ooohh I want to ask! 5 and 32!

Hi hi Illu! :D Thank you so much for asking!!

5. What’s your favorite thing to draw?

Can my answer be comics and sequentials? :D I like when my pictures can tell a story. A single illustration can definitely tell a whole story on its own, but I love the visual journey that a sequence of images can give you, and I'm happiest when I can achieve that! Animations fall under this too, they're just super time consuming to do.

32. What defines your artistic style?

Based on what I've put my energy to over the years: clean lines & bright, saturated colours (I'm trying to tone this down, actually). I think I have a particular way of drawing eyes, and faces in general, that comes from being a Yu-Gi-Oh! fanartist for a very long time xD

Artist asks! 8 and 20!

Hi hi Kauri!! Thank you for the ask :3

Do you draw professionally, or just for fun?

ATM mostly for fun, but I do have some work lined up and I'm turtle shuffling towards art as a profession! :3

20. What is the easiest thing for you to draw?

I have a couple answers to this.

Mirage!! I always have one character that I default to, and it's been him for the last year or so. I draw him all the time, too. Other artists can relate to this, right?!

In general, humans and humanoids! (like robots :D) this might be too broad. Specifically, I love drawing hand and arm gestures!

Something I'm not particularly good at but find easy to do (like, to just jump into) is sketching legs. If I'm super stuck I'll just draw disembodied legs attached to a waist in various poses. Somehow it feels like there's no pressure if it's just legs? They might grow a body, they might not!

And also chibis! I'm not sure if they're easy per se (they're deceptively simple!) but if I want to cheer myself up, a chibi Mirage will do it like that! And then... life gets easier? LOL
