I'm portraying Flareup as the youngest and most... "enthusiastic" sister; I think this is not inappropriate, at least based on "universe Flareup"'s bio.

 

I'm also portraying her as the "Tank" of the group, as in her "Concept Art" she looks like the bulkiest of the three.

 

The quote is a reference to the Homestarrunner.com cartoon: "Crazy Cartoon".

 

For a description of the painful artistic process I went through with this one, check out the original on my Deviant Art Page.

Looks good, though I don't know about Flareup being the "tank" of the group. "tank" usually implies heavy fire power, and that's Chromia. With that blade in her right arm, Flareup seems more the "close quarters" fighter of the trio, which certainly suggests more of a "flare" for the dramatic. Thus, I'd say less the "tank" and more the "daredevil".

Whoops! (or as Bulkhead would say: "Sorry... My Bad") Well I was thinking "Tank" in the way I believed it's used in "Video Game Terminology"; IE: The biggest/Heaviest/Strongest character in the "Party". (Ironic that I'm quoting Bulky, as he's the animated Autobots' "Tank" in more ways than one! :lol) Sorry about the mix-up!

 

... I suppose "Berzeker" would probably work, too.

Even that term for "tank" would still fit Chromia more than Flareup. In either case, you're talking the "big gun", and that's Chromia. She's the biggest, strongest, meanest, most heavily armed of the trio.

Tank generally refers to the one most able to take damage without feeling its effect. Naturally these tend to be the bulkier, heavier characters. Generally refers to nothing about their ability to dish out damage.

Leave it to Tramp to totally derail the topic. Isn't this about your pic 4RL? It's some great stuff, but you know I've already said that before. So I'll leave you with this:

 

WHEELSNAKE!

Nice picture! Now if only Hasbro would get their butts in gear and get to work on Flareup.

Thanks! And in regards to a Flareup toy, they SAY they're working on it, so hopefully we'll be seeing some teasers in the not-too-distant future.

Bwa ha ha! Suddenly (for no apparent reason) I got this image in my head of the three of them dressed in leather jackets, posturing as a gang called "The Wheelsnakes", and extorting money from people. :lol

'Wheelsnakes!!! Come out and...plaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaayy!!!'

 

Great stuff, BTW.
