Not really a "process" per se, more of a before & after but. I was diggin through some old files i have and came across these!
So what this is is the Wrap-Around covers to one of the TF:Movie 07 Prequel comic books. Probably issue 1.
So what had happened was throughout this issue Don had based the pre-earth Bumblebee design off an early concept of Bumblebee's earth mode. thought it would be a neat nod i guess. It got approved and then Hasbro changed their minds and wanted him to look a bitmore like the Protoform Optimus toy they were making. And so for all of issue 1 Don had to go in and RE-DRAW every Bumblebee. The whole issue.
Sucked.
Sucked for me, although not as much lol. I was only a few pages and this cover into the issue when the change was mandated so I had to re-color some stuff as well.
Well along with changing the looks of Bumblebee's bot mode they [Hasbro] decided they didnt want too much "color"
They wanted everything to be variations of the chromes, gun-metals, etc etc look they had the protoforms goin for. I wanted to keep SOME semblance of color [man what a monochromatic mess that woulda been] in bumblebee so i gave him a yellow tinge. And the same applies for Arcee
Thats why in the comic all those characters lack color!

I always wondered. I wish they gave you guys more freedom, since I like the top picture more :C Even enemies deserve to be distinctive, instead of MASS OF COLORLESS DRONES.

What the fuck is wrong with Tranasformers fans
Because, there is something clearly fucking wrong with them.
Both of Bumblebee's designs look good. I heard that the first issue of the prequel was delayed because of a "printing error." Did redrawing Bumblebee have something to do with it?
