The colors are great, and I really dig the flame effects.

But the poses and overall expression of the characters are all completely wrong. They are looking away from each other - something that should never be illustrated in a tense battle scene! Number 1 rule of illustrating battles - opponents should ALWAYS face each other. Galvatron's arm is at a very odd angle. This picture is really kind of a mess, not a dramatic visualization like it could be. It has no flow, no emotion, no feeling for either of the characters.

I'll say the colors are great, which you are very good at. But not even a great color job can save this illustration. It lacks some of the most basic illustration principals and just goes for the splash. All eyecandy and no substance.

I'm sorry I'm so harsh - but I try to look beyond the surface and the "OMG its my fav. characters!!11!!", and really get the feeling of the overall picture. Some pictures are totaly awesome and others aren't always the artist's total best. I know I have that problem as an artist - it takes 100 bad drawings to get a truely good one.

Except for the TFs having teeth (or impressions thereof), this piece of art rocks!
