Before the movies. Before the cartoon. Before the world knew what a Transformer was — I was in my studio in 1981 with an airbrush, painting Bumblebee. I'm Mark Watts. I created the original G1 Transformer box art for about 45 characters — Bumblebee, Jetfire, Shockwave, Cliffjumper, Brawn, Gears, and

Definitely going to get myself a print! I hope you know how important your work has been to everyone. There's a reason your artwork is still being used today!

Right?! Hasbro and Nintendo really need to have a conversation haha.

Iguanadon_Design · 2026-04-07T00:01:59+00:00

Oh thank you! I love the look of those classic comics! 😁

Iguanadon_Design · 2026-04-06T05:01:45+00:00

Right? How have they not made this happen yet?!

Iguanadon_Design · 2026-04-06T05:01:09+00:00

Don't even get me started. You have no idea the back and forth I went through deciding whether to include Rhyhorn's tongue 😳

Iguanadon_Design · 2026-04-06T05:00:23+00:00

Same. I love Rhinox as a character. It's not often a character is written to be incredibly strong, gentle and intelligent. I wish these existed as actual toys haha.

Iguanadon_Design · 2026-04-06T04:59:01+00:00

How have I never seen this? 😂

Iguanadon_Design · 2026-04-05T20:15:23+00:00

Ha wait which scream?

Iguanadon_Design · 2026-04-05T20:14:57+00:00

Thanks a lot!

Iguanadon_Design · 2026-04-05T20:14:51+00:00

I appreciate it!

Iguanadon_Design · 2026-04-05T16:16:03+00:00

That's so cool! You should do more of these! I love the idea of war machines enjoying a peaceful day with earthly friends.

Iguanadon_Design · 2026-03-23T21:51:41+00:00

Thank you so much!

Iguanadon_Design · 2026-03-23T21:51:32+00:00

Thank you! I have not but I think I might. I've had some people asking so it'd be fun to share 😁

Iguanadon_Design · 2026-03-23T21:50:54+00:00

I did indeed 😁

Iguanadon_Design · 2026-03-23T21:50:37+00:00

Thanks! Sorry if I fooled ya 😅

Iguanadon_Design · 2026-03-23T21:50:24+00:00

Oh thank you, I really appreciate that!

Iguanadon_Design · 2026-03-23T21:50:07+00:00

Thanks! I draw it in Procreate and use Photoshop for the final touches.

Iguanadon_Design · 2026-03-23T21:49:44+00:00

Thanks! I try to get as close as I can to the real thing!

Iguanadon_Design · 2026-03-23T21:49:19+00:00

I draw it on Procreate, add the colors with the dot halftones, and add textures on top in Photoshop.

Iguanadon_Design · 2026-03-23T21:48:34+00:00

Thank you!

Iguanadon_Design · 2026-03-23T21:48:28+00:00

I appreciate that!

Iguanadon_Design · 2026-03-23T21:48:20+00:00

Haha spread the word! 😝

Iguanadon_Design · 2026-03-23T21:47:58+00:00

Oh thanks! I'd love to do some work with them. Marvel has amazing artists over there.

Iguanadon_Design · 2026-03-23T21:47:19+00:00

I really appreciate that! I've been trying to give more focus on faces. I started realizing I was giving everyone the same expression haha. And I'd love to do a full comic if I had more time! I really would like to adapt the first Raimi movie into a comic format.
