Well, as you can tell, this is my take on Revenge of the Fallen Arcee!

I examined several pictures before drawing this, including the "Concept Render" (Which isn't actually terribly representative of the final product), a really blurry picture of the sisters chasing Sideways, and the package art and head sculpt of my deluxe Chromia action figure.

I stuck as close to my references as I could, but Needless to say, since the TRUE details are pretty sketchy, a lot of the little things fell to the "I made 'em up as I went along" school of design philosophy. Also, I've probably exaggerated her facial expression just a little, but frankly the Bay-Bots tend to be a lot more expressive than you might think, so I don't Feel too bad about it. (yeah, I also tried to make her a bit "cuter" than she maybe looked in the movie. But then it's not like we ever really got to look at her...)

The quote she is saying is of course a butchery of the famous Dirty Harry Line, (Do you feel Lucky Punk?) And in general I've cast her as being a bit more youthful and "Spunky". Some may cry foul at this, but her On-Screen persona hasn't actually been established yet, so I consider myself well within my rights. (Sorry, as much as I liked G1 Arcee for managing to be the only female in the group, her personality kinda struck me as... bland. Please don't shoot me.)

I'm not sure why she thinks her gun is a Magnum... but you have to admit that a Transformer sized Magnum would be pretty impressive. (Maybe she actually coulda done some damage to Sideways instead of just wasting a lot of ammo on him if she'd had a Robo-Magnum in the film.)

In regards to the actual method of the art, it was a pencil sketch I inked, colored with Prisma/sharpie markers (Yay! I didn't know I had any!) and then touched up with GIMP. I would like to add shiny hi-lights some day, but until I get my tablet, it won't really be feasible.

I made her Red because I'm a Communist.
Nah, I'm just kidding, I just don't like the shade of Pink she usually is and thought Crimson was a nice change.

Arcee is ©Hasbro!

Oh man... it's been just long enough I can't remember, but I think I beat this thing out in like... one day of straight work.
Maybe...

Thanks for the compliments! :)
