With today’s final delivery of Transformers: Age of the Primes wave 2 stuff that is now two major collections complete! Liege Maximo complete’s the Thirteen Primes, and Powerglide caps off my 1984-85-ish shelf!
Here’s the fruits of my last week’s worth of deliveries! So many books! I am now essentially up to date with the hardcovers for Skybound’s Energon Universe and Image’s Radiant Black (plus DC’s Immortal Legend Batman for good measure). Plus the Lego Balrog book nook, which works weirdly well here.
Have I gone overboard on my recent quest to catch up on the hardcovers of various comics I’m reading? Perhaps. But it’s gonna feel so good once I get them in hand and on a shelf.
#Transformers Missing Link Cordon (thanks to @thomsongraham.bsky.social)! Gorgeous figure. While I love my ML Sunstreaker, I think this guy’s deco is even more striking. Unfortunately there are a few paint blemishes and loose joints, but such was the case with Sunny as well so not much to be done.
Thinking about finally making a comic with my tokusatsu-inspired characters, starting with Spirit Mask. Here is a sketch of the main hero’s current design, and I’ll put a very brief synopsis of the story idea in the alt text. Please let me know if this is something you’d like to see more of! #art
Was taking pics of 86 Optimus for my Instagram and decided to recreate that first teaser poster. #transformers
Here’s a drawing of Belfast’s Ann Street subway! This was done with Posca on black card as an exploration of the spaces I could look at for my illustration class’ Secret Place project. #art #traditionalart #illustration #posca
Happy Pride Month, folks! Still haven’t finished up my art piece for this year, but I will do my best to have it done sooner than last year so keep an eye out! For now, here is the #transformers bi pride Spinister I did last June: #art #maccadam
Decided to finally give my #transformers Legacy Vector Prime a few paint touch-ups, namely to his sword, key, wings and little sculpted orbs. I’m not getting the the AotP repaint so I left a few unpainted strips on his key to kind of mimic his Prime emblem on his weapon like the others Primes do.
I‘ve got some #transformers sketch cards for sale! £8 each (including shipping), though discounts may be possible for orders of multiple. Send me a DM if interested. These are just some I did for example, so if there’s a character you’d like that’s not here then send me a message! #maccadam #art
More university art! This is a brush pen sketch of the front of Queens University that we did to cap off the aforementioned visit to the Ulster Museum. #art
For those who remember I’m an artist, here’s some sketches I did at the start of September on my first uni outing to the Ulster Museum, imagining some old toys and tech brought to life. It’s so good to be posting art again. More soon, so keep an eye out! #art
New casual project! I’ve decided to try drawing every G1 #transformers character as a sketch card. With 15 pages and approx. 500 entries, how long will it take? Will I ever finish it? Who knows! But I think it might be fun. First few sketches coming soon.
Shockingly I have’t seen anyone talking about it, but it looks like @nickroche.bsky.social is doing a cover for Skybound’s 40th anniversary TFTM comic reprint! Really cool to see him back in the official TF comic realm.
I’ve just finished posting my photo retrospectives of the #Transformers Legacy trilogy over on Instagram after wrapping up the individual galleries- please have a look if you’re interested! I’m @qprimephotography on there, but links to the posts are in the replies.
Perhaps a treat for after schoolwork is done in a few weeks 👀 #transformers
Ended up knuckling down and finally drafting Instagram posts for the galleries I’ve taken since September, so if I manage to post them regularly they should do me well until I get around to doing the next batch (by which point I’ll probably have the second 2026 waves). #transformers
Decided to do a wee sketch of #transformers Tiny Turbo Changers Soundwave. Should I colour it or just do inks? #maccadam #art
…and that’s me done with Pokémon Legends: Z-A! My return to the world of Pokémon games has been a wild ride, but I thoroughly enjoyed it and now having finished every quest, side quest and Pokédex entry I can safely say this chapter is finished. Now, time to decide what Nintendo game to try next!
Thought I’d share my current collection setup after having to move to a smaller room. Some of it is a bit dusty (as the move was hectic with little time for extra cleanliness), but this is the general idea. Sadly some stuff did have to be put away, as I did my best but physics are still a limit.
And here’s page 5- hope you enjoyed! This story was originally written and drawn by me (with colours by @slipshod.bsky.social) for Thunderclash: Tales from the Multiverse charity anthology by @thunderclashcomics.bsky.social, so make sure to give them a look too!
Merry Christmas folks! Enjoy the holidays and I hope you all get something nice under the tree (bots or otherwise)! And now, the time has once again come to repost my X-Mas themed 5 page comic about Soundwave and his cassettes, Tales of the Cassetticons! #Transformers #Maccadam
Finally started working on that Pokémon Legends: Z-A Mega Starmie redesign inspired by Ultraman, and I think I’ve finished the basic sketch! I’m wondering if I should do more with the back star though. Any thoughts? Ultraman watchers?
