I promised my best friend to fulfill his request of an Optimus Prime wallpaper before the end of the year so here it is! I haven’t seen the movie yet and I’m not much of a “Transformers” fan but hey, I guess this can be dedicated to all the fanboys out there! XD
The inspiration for this wallpaper comes straight from one of the official poster. However, it would have been boring if I tried to reproduce the exact same background so I choose to stylize it my way. I didn’t come up with the silhouette concept right from the start: I was playing with the original picture, trying to figure out a good method to blend it well in the background when the idea hit me. Since I ditched the planet details for the background, why wouldn’t I do the same with Optimus Prime?
My goal was to make this picture epic because hey, it’s Optimus Prime afterall! For that matter, I only worked with lights and shadows. And of course, the light had to bear shades of blue (blue = nice guys; red = bad guys). The sunlight was created using a rounded shape with several layers of outer and inner glow. I then added a radial glow behind the silhouette to make it blend and interact with the background. To wrap this up, I just had to use the famous quote “My name is Optimus Prime” as a title with the official “Transformers” font I textured. In the end, I’m really glad of the final result: it looks wicked!
