Character designs
With the template a created, its been easier to create these designs. Ive really enjoyed designing these character styles, its been a processes that calming in a sort weird sort of way, making theses has a similar effect on to that of colouring something in.
Now that ive made these characters, i wanted to get some feedback on them from my peers before sending them over to Isaac.
Optimus Prime
This was the frist one i made and it was the same as the one i sent alongside my developments to the client. for me it captured the character pretty well which was what its supposed to do

Megatron

Soundwave
again, this is a really iconic character from the show as because of this, not a lot of detail is needed to allow people to distinguish who it is. while he dose just look like a blue block, especial in the chest but that's his aesthetic.

Bumblebee
The first of the designs I've done that focus on characters of different size. Bumble bee is a smaller character in the show so to combat this I've done it so that he is is 18x11 pixels which has him at just the right compared the rest of the characters that i've done so the height ratio is the same as it is on the show.

"he looks pretty cute being smaller than the rest"
Starscream
now this one i had some difficulty in the colouring as it was hard to created a contrast so you can tell where the arms end and where the wings begin. Having the wings a darker shade made the arms hard to see so the colour was swapped which allows people to identify what is what with this design.

Ultra Magnus
Similar to the issue Bumblebee regarding size, Ultra Magnus is a much larger character from the show. To keep the same sort of style as the other designs I added onto the Optimus prime design (similar too the toy) to make sure the size ratio was the same.

"The design for this one works really well. even though it hasn't got much detail i think this actually adds to the overall design for how iconic he is."
Going the same way as the prime design by keeping the colour pallet simple works for this character as hes basically just grey and black in the show. the head though is pretty basic but its the closest i could get to what he actualy looks like
"Seeing Prime and Megaton together really shows how well this aesthetic is going to look with all the characters."

Prowl / Jazz
now for these designs i stared to add some more detail to the character as, unlike the first two, there are many characters similar in looks from the show so this one needs to be easier to identify. For me i think this more detailed approach works well as it shows of more of the characters design from the show.

Constructicons // Devastator
Me personally, I'm happy with how the devastator looks as he is the largest of the bunch I think the pixel aesthetic has come out well, although, I think I could put in some more detail as he dose look very plain in some parts
The construticons though, I'm overall happy how they come out but due to their design in the show, they have made a few of them look really basic and simple (Especially the top right one as he is basically just one colour)
