so this image was shown off at botcon this past weekend so i figured it would be alright to show it off here. hopefully get a better look at it
this is the cover to MTMTE issue 8, and yes it features Grimlock
i guess now we finally get to find out what happened to him since last we saw him which i think was in maximum dinobots?
i had a lot of fun with this cover
it has a batman feel to it, which i did not intend until after i stated placing in the shadows and i thought, why not go pretty heavy on the shadows like in the batman comics i read. this was the result, and i like how it turned out
got to work with Joana on this cover. when we were talking about it, i noticed that this was going to be out first cover together that wasn't part of the movie line. i thought that was pretty cool.
the bots in the foreground don't look to happy. i wonder if they know whats about to happen???
enjoy

I really love this cover. I think it looks stunning, and I like the heavy shadows as you described! Definitely hints heavily at Batman comics!
The background looks super brilliant, too! Simple, yet detailed. I so badly want to get this comic, just to see more of Grimlock, here, and find out what happens to these poor mechs! Lol!

maybe. but predator usually sneaks around with his cloak on, so that he blends into the background, while batman sneaks around in the shadow with no need of a cloaking devise for lack of a better term. however, i'm not saying that grimlock is like batman, nor did i design this cover to be anything like batman. i just found it interesting that when i was working on it, i was putting a lot of black shadows in, and it reminded me of the batman comics by Jim Lee i like where he usually has a lot of blacks in the image.
