Artist's Comments

I have been REALLY wanting to do a pic of a Nazi Megatron with a Walther P.38, so I finally drew this. I had some trouble getting the angle of what I wanted him on, so I just ended up doing a side view one. He IS meant to be looking at the viewer, though...

The image title is from Eisbrecher--This Is Deutsch and can be heard here--[link]. The song is pretty much about how back in the war Germany was like robots--so hence the connection here with the image and title. XD

I REALLY like how the Nazi flag came out, and parts of the Walther. I've never drawn weaponry before, so it was a little difficult to do, especially on THAT angle... but I think it turned out rather well. :) I like the small scratches that I placed into it. I've been trying to put a little more detail into my images, so I hope I am getting it down.

NOT happy with the hand this time -_- I DO like the position it's in, but I think it came out just a tad bit too small -_- which is annoying because I tried like 20 times to make it larger and failed every time. Well, this is the end result.

Done in PS CS3 4-6 hours.

This image is © to Me--NiGhT-sTaLkEr13 and should NOT be used withOUT my permission for ANY reason.

NOTE: If you are too dumb, like SOME people, and can't understand the symbolism here, let me tell you. I am NOT saying Megatron WAS a Nazi, but comparing his and Hitler's pasts and ideas [including Megatron Origin], there are similarities between each of them.

This art was purely made for the point of the lyrics to the song. And if you can't make the connection with Megatron, a Walther P.38 and a German Nazi flag, well then that is your OWN fault. But do NOT come running to me and insulting me and my art for it. I am SIMPLY trying to make art that has a MEANING behind it. If you are too STUPID to see, well then fuck off and press the BACK button.

Critiques


:iconwooden-flashlight:
This is visually stunning. Everything is perfect, down to the most minor of details. The flag came out spectacularly, very tattered and old. Everything, down to the minor folds in his gloves and clothes, is here and accounted for. Though the symbolism might cause others to fee uncomfortable, this is a completely different matter. I, as a fan, know that Megatron is very much like a Nazi, but not completely. Also, I know the connection between he and his alternative mode. Overall, this is perfect in execution, and stirs many pleasant emotions in me. This image is so raw and perfect, there's simply nothing bad I can say about it. Even thought you've done it before- this one is just as original. The fact that his alternative mode is also included, and the way he licks at the tip of his gun with a seductive flourish makes it absolutely stunning.

I´m not from the world war 2 generation but what you say is true. I still can´t understand how people didn´t use their own minds. The ones who used their minds became killed instantly by these robot brains. Sorry. My English. XD

The picture is well painted, thats not the thing, and the floating flag is really good, but as a German, I really do not like the title.
Times changed, this episode is over, so it's not typical for "Deutsch" nowadays. Nevertheless a good painting.
(You play Bf-heroes?)
:iconnight-stalker13:
Oh, the title was actually named after a song, it says that in the comment box. It means no offense to any German persons or the country itself--I didn't intend that at all. The image is meant to be linked with the song lyrics.

And thank you, I appreciate the comment. :) And er, I have no idea what Bf-heroes is... Sorry. DX

I'm not offended by the title, but I've wanted to say that some could be ;-).
Bf Heroes is a online comic shooter game and your painting looks like one character. I cant find it now, but the game looks like this: [link]
:iconnight-stalker13:
Ah, true, true. I should hope that they read the artist comment and get the right idea of the image and not the wrong one. XD

Oh, the game looks pretty awesome. It's a shame, though. I only have crappy dial up DX

The hand DOES look a shade off--the white makes it look skeletal, but to be honest, it adds to the atmosphere; this is an eerie pic. Robots maybe, but this has an air of unmistakable evil, just from the composition of elements and Megatron's expression. Good job on the gun, too.

Until he decides to kill 6 million people for having "inferior genes", you don't get to make that comparison.

Some people are like Slinkies; not really good for anything, but they still bring a smile to your face when you push them down a flight of stairs.

such people include spammers, flamers, and art thieves.

Considering he is the lord of the Decepticon's, I am pretty sure he has already killed that many Autobot's and Decepticon traitors in his midst. Other than that, the connection is purely made for the song as a deeper sight to it. Plus, Megatron's model happens to have originated in Nazi Germany. I am merely making art that has MEANING to it. If you can't make the connections, well then that is your flaw.
