BotCon 2007 Thundercracker

Uncolored line-art for the bio card of BotCon 2007's exclusive Thundercracker toy.

This was the first piece of art I did for the box set, mostly to get drawing one of the Skyraiders out of the damn way. I was gonna have to draw three of them, after all.

I like how his face came out, mainly the mouth. Thundercracker really hasn't got much of a personality. Okay, none of them save Screamer do, to be honest. The other five are basically Kato Kaelins to Screamer. But Thunder's supposed to be all contemptuous of anything that can't fly, plus fairly ambivalent as to his place in the war. I think I managed to get that in the pose and expression.

He looks RILLY nice with Chris Appel's paintlike colors laid over him.
