That’s so validating 🥰🥰

hope you guys have all been snenjoying (snake enjoying) your zines! don't forget to draw your own in the Blue Memorial Blank Page with the hastag #SnakeEyesWideShut

A highlight of some of my TFN fits, including the Hat Swap with @jimsorenson.bsky.social

*co-conjured the trench-coated etc

I think we should be harder about this stuff.

OH! And next year? It’s fucking happening. I will have the zine.

A brave new world awaits.

Y’all are all awesome folks. I love being part of this community. I don’t cross the Atlantic Ocean every year to buy toys, I come for the people. Y’all ARE TFNation for me. And y’all rule.

And I cannot wait to see you all again next year.

@toastergrl.bsky.social @thelastgherkin.bsky.social

And to people I got to form more proper friendships with or meet for the first time @skeletonizer.bsky.social @duskuls.bsky.social @thechromatroid.bsky.social @jerdley.bsky.social @sameasiteverwoz.bsky.social and others I’m sure I’m forgetting.

In no particular order, shout out to some of the incredible folks I got to hang with. Obviously the usual suspects @waspshot23.bsky.social @wadapan.bsky.social @jalaguy.bsky.social @sjbroadside.bsky.social @chrismcfeely.bsky.social @jimsorenson.bsky.social @speedfreak01.bsky.social

Another TFN done. As I prepare to board my last plane back to the states, I just want to say how incredible it was. Every year I go it makes it harder to not go the next year. Thankfully, that’s yet to happen. I got to spend time with my best friends in the world and make new ones.

If you see this, post a bad woman you love

Well, more of a bad enby, but Tilda Swinton as the half-angel Gabriel pinning Keanu Reeves down with her foot on his throat is both very gender and the hottest thing put to mainstream film.

Hot

All kinds of Cobras at TFN this year @speedfreak01.bsky.social

“autobots, i am freaking liddol” optimus small

@robertkirkman.bsky.social @benabernathy.bsky.social Yo, guys, when are we gonna get Kei to do some Energon Universe covers? They absolutely killed it on Optimus Prime, let’s see how they draw Shredhead!

even if it’s popular comics I often feel weird about mek design

thinking to owe artist to draw everything is…. kinda weird. every artist has special skill. rarely there are some perfect artist like jim lee. but it's rare.

I think it’s totally ok if the artist can draw only mek or only organic. I just wanna say to publishers respect both special skill.

I really think who can design the Mek that fit for comic are very rare (and TF artists are the one of the specialists)
And human shape and mek shape, who can draw both are very rare, even I can’t do it yet.

i think every publishers should hire robot/mech specialists if they want to publush sci-fi things. i think it’s different skill between popluer comic artists and mech artists. many times I was disappointed about mek describe in the comics🙄

Three panels from Transformers (2009) #23, "Chaos Theory Part 2". The character Orion Pax/Optimus Prime is being forcibly escorted out of the Cybertronian Senate. ORION: My friend's name was Megatron, and he had three questions! Three things he said you should demand to know of any powerful institution! Question one: Do you wear wigs? ORION: Question two: Will you - just let me finish - will you wear wigs? GUARD: You've said enough. Come along. ORION: And three - oof! And three! WHEN WILL YOU WEAR WIGS?

You know, I've had my criticisms of James Roberts' writing over the years, but these panels from Chaos Theory still hit.

Visa says they're still drowning today! Payment processors think that we're not organized enough to keep this up but it's we either prove them wrong or submit to global censorship so it's. not much of a contest. Keep calling all 4!!

Do it

I wrote another thing for #cedrictealeaf !

I wanted to do a scene after Shadowheart's companion quest concluded. Their stories are almost two sides of the same coin, which I wasn't expecting. Enjoy!

Not sure if it will come together in time, but I might be throwing together another G.I. Joe cosplay for TFN this year.

😏

It’s the least I can do

I did not, sadly
