IDW Transformers Mikalea Cover

Here's my submission for the IDW 2nd round "Play-At-Home" Cover Contest being held on their boards. The assignment was to create a ready for color inked cover featuring a main character and 2 supporting characters in a specific setting.

Two lucky PAH entries will be selected by the judges to move onto the 3rd and final round, where a lucky few will be given the chance to do an actual IDW cover. Fingers crossed.

I'm in the Mikalea Banes group. Springer and Shockwave must also be included. The setting is New York City. The cover was to fit into the Transformers Movie universe.

I had a lot of fun with this piece. It was fun to make some of my favorite G1 robots look like they might fit in the movie universe and still keep them recognizable. I felt it was important to get a decent likeness of Mikalea as well.

Anyway, thanks for taking a look. Feel free to share any comments you might have. I have already finished the colors on this piece but must wait until the voting has ended before I can post it. It's coming very soon...

There are several groups with tons of very creative covers by many talented artists.
