'On the Wings of Heroes' Charity Auction Lithograph

[Altitron]

Ha! You flatter me... Bumblebee doesn't look very good at all... He really didn't turn out anything like I pictured him when I drew it. I jacked up the colors. His chest should be convex, not concave... I was hoping to get to Prime tomorrow but I think most of tomorrow will be spent re-doing the little bastard. Sorry, Sabrina.

Anyway, to answer your question, I've been mulling about adding that bit onto the bottom, beneath the image and made to look as though it were stamped into a metal frame. I've edited it a bit since then, though:

"To memorialize this most dangerous undertaking by the Ark and its crew, the citizens of Iacon present this trythillium-steel engraving to Optimus Prime, wishing him and those brave sparks that serve with him a prosperous journey throughout the cosmos.

They are all the best and last hope for the survival of Cybertronian society. Those that have been left behind salute you, and wait with anxious celebration for your sound return."

Emirate Xaaron, Iacon Legate, presented this 73rd mega-cycle of Newo Asil, 536sc A.S.

looking awesome.

I hope you don't mind, but every time you show some progress on this guy, I replace the image on the auction (not the one in the description, but the one at the bottom of the actual auction)

[Altitron]

I've noticed. And I do appreciate it. I only wish the thumbnail picture could be replaced because I'm sure that ugly one is driving traffic away from the auction.

I can't remove then replace images originally attached to the auction. I wanted something that was interesting enough to pull potential bidders in, which also contained something relevant to the auction. I thought about doing a collage of the completed set, but it would be so damn small in the search results...

here's what AFC did, I was thinking of shrinking this:


On the search result it would have looked like this:

damn, this is so awesome. those stars make a huge difference, and i cant wait to see prime

[Altitron]

Would it suck without the stars? LOL

[thyvipera]

lol, not at all, sorry if it came accross that way. i just thought the stars added a lot, making it even more awesome

Maybe it would help to get rid of the lithograph from that grid of smaller pictures, so that only the figures themselves are shown? That may allow you to get it a little bigger.

Love the work you guys put into this auction--great cause and great customs! The lithograph looks great Alti--and if anything it helps pull more in because it's not just a custom or two, it's a complete package deal, artwork and all.

I put this up on the front page over at Sector70 (Jaf mentioned it to us in the staff forum, so I featured it up there for you guys).

Good luck with it all, fellas!

[Altitron]

Thanks! You guys rock!
