My Bio
I tend to call myself a "creative structurist" or a "structured creator," which is to say I'm neither adept at completely free-form art nor interested in overly mathematical visuals.

I try to be creative in as many ways as possible. The main thrust of my work here is pixel art, but I love writing as well, so stories and essays may occasionally pop up between the many heads I put up of those beloved TRANSFORMERS characters. I also enjoy photography but have never dedicated myself to it in a way that gives me the skill to know exactly how to approximate what my eyes see in a camera capture. Some people seem to have that, either naturally or from a lot of experience. In the work of a really talented photographer, I always feel like I can see the exact thing that attracted their eyes. I feel the same way about great artists -- the ideas they have somehow escape that death on the way from mind to pen, pencil, and brush that many of us experience.

Being here since the summer of 2008 has afforded me a lot of pleasure -- this is in many ways the most worthwhile website I have ever been part of. May it never go away! :D

Basically keep him as he is, just make him bigger?
Design a robot mode head for him, like I recently did for Hauler?

The Road Ahead

0 min read
After previously thinking there should be some end date to my projects, I've finally realized there's not a real point in limiting myself to such a set time. Life winds and turns and leaves me more time to be here at some junctures and less to no time at others. Besides, where can you see the fun in never doing anything new here again? Right? I had this idea that I'd finish updating all of the avatars by September 3 last year as that date would have made 20 years since the first-ever one I did just to try out a new piece of software. Nice enough thought, but I'm facin' it squarely by now: This thing is never going to be quite finished. I'm t

Hi, everyone-- This Wednesday, I'm off to attend this year's BotCon convention -- my first in 12 years! For that reason, it's going to be a while before I can get a response back to those of you who have left comments and notes at my profile. You'll hear from me when I'm back. :D

you must be a transformers fan.

Oh, what gave you that idea? 😉

I'm only telling you that happen to be a transformers fan because of the backgrounds you come up with

Your work is an absolute lifesaver! Thank you so much for your hard work on Transformers Bunny Emoji-87 (Thanks) [V5]

Thank you most kindly for this comment, PolarisDraws. It means a lot to me! 😄


I took a look at your art, and you're much more of an artist than I will ever be. 😉 I especially enjoy your "Space Tears" piece.

Thank you very much, creationstar. :D
