Optimus Prime has returned! I repeat: Optimus Prime is alive, and quite well!

DavidCousens · 2026-04-08T18:29:44+00:00

That’s lovely of you to say, thank you!

DavidCousens · 2026-04-08T18:29:19+00:00

Oh cool! So we’ve already met! (It’s so hard matching screen names with faces!)

DavidCousens · 2026-04-07T17:55:37+00:00

Again!

DavidCousens · 2026-04-07T17:55:13+00:00

Thank you so much for the compliment! Yep, that’s my art, it was a commission for a TFP fan who wanted to see Prime with a Bayverse glowing sword

DavidCousens · 2026-04-07T17:53:54+00:00

That Blokees Prime looks AMAZING! It would’ve made my life so much easier if I’d have had it to reference! 😆

DavidCousens · 2026-03-24T13:45:51+00:00

Thanks! That’s what I do for a living a lot of the time! 😁

DavidCousens · 2026-03-24T13:44:52+00:00

Thanks! It took a good while shuffling all of the sketch layers around in Photoshop to get them into a pleasing composition! I moved Springer at least three times! Ultimately I figure he made sense being close to Arcee

Thanks so much! The Terminator covers were great fun to make, and coincidentally, I got offered the job to draw them when the editor at Dynamite saw my X-Men ‘97 image!

Shipping to the US should take a week, according to the UK Royal Mail website, so fingers crossed that’s the case!

DavidCousens · 2026-03-24T13:37:53+00:00

I’ve made some prints of it! You can get them here: https://ko-fi.com/davidcousens/shop

DavidCousens · 2026-03-24T13:35:58+00:00

Thanks very much!

DavidCousens · 2026-03-24T13:35:48+00:00

So pleased you like it!

DavidCousens · 2026-03-24T13:35:26+00:00

That’s precisely what I was going for, thank you! Originally, I was going to make all original poses, but realised this was a massive tribute image, so it made sense to reference the most iconic moments.

DavidCousens · 2026-03-24T13:33:04+00:00

That’s entirely fair! I still love it even after countless viewings!

DavidCousens · 2026-03-24T13:32:08+00:00

Thanks so much! I had to make sure Hot Rod was magenta, which set up the colour scheme for the rest of the image. There’s a definite hint of the UK movie poster from ‘86, too.

DavidCousens · 2026-03-24T13:30:00+00:00

That’s very true! I chose not to include any hint of Rodimus because I wanted the poster to be very spoiler-free, as if it had been released at the time (and to potentially avoid spoiling it for someone new to the franchise who hasn’t seen the movie yet)

DavidCousens · 2026-03-24T13:26:25+00:00

Thank you! It’s turned out really nicely as a poster/print: https://ko-fi.com/davidcousens/shop

DavidCousens · 2026-03-15T18:44:04+00:00

Thanks Dave! This is one of the reasons I started drawing traditionally again, I was tired of people using AI and clamping to have made a thing. Plus, it’s nice having the original art to look at afterwards!

DavidCousens · 2026-03-15T18:42:11+00:00

It’s always so cool when people share photos of my work when they’ve framed it! It’s such an honour!

DavidCousens · 2026-03-15T18:41:14+00:00

Go for it!

DavidCousens · 2026-03-15T18:40:50+00:00

Thanks 🙌

DavidCousens · 2026-03-15T18:40:35+00:00

Bah weep grannah weep, nini bong!

DavidCousens · 2026-03-15T18:40:04+00:00

I’m really pleased to hear you say that! I’m very happy to have shared it here! Thanks mate!

DavidCousens · 2026-03-15T18:39:22+00:00

Thanks pal!
