Updated my Tetris build after receiving some feedback; it is free to download, though if you'd like to buy me a coffee, either through the app page itself or ko-fi.com/akcyrway , it's always greatly appreciated! akcyrway.itch.io/tetris

23 years ago, I had an idea based on the Marvel G2 comics (specifically issue11) of the Warworld having a Titan transformation. I finally tackled it, using elements from my original concept and incorporating the #TrueStarscream design from TAAO. #starscream #maccadam Had to include the crown.

My Fridge Horror Moment that hit 8 years late: At the end of Unicron #6 there's a freakin' black hole around the sun and no one is panicking and I was at work when it hit and now I'm stuck thinking about an ELE that makes the Endor Holocaust seem like a firecracker but I digress.

"Festival | Sky | Friends | Running" Needed to remedy a lack of homage to the Kaneda Slide in the Transformers fandom. Figured I'd give Twitch and Thrash some love. #maccadam #earthspark #transformers 2026, Digital Illustration (Clip Studio Paint)

Earthspark Twitch (a red and black Transformer with yellow and orange blade-like wings) and her brother Thrash in alt mode (a grey, blue, and gold motorcycle) with a backdrop of Philadelphia in twilight, as a homage to the scene where Kaneda from Akira slides to a stop.

What's your #comicsdna ? So many inspired me over the years, but the biggest influences for my art would be these four: Archie Comics' TMNTA, Marvel's X-Men Adventures and Transformers Generations 1&2, and Mobile Suit Gundam 0079.

a comic about blocking

A 4 panel comic

The first two panels are titled “Blocking someone on Twitter”

Panel 1: Blue guy holding a door open. Red guy stands in the doorway

Panel 2: Blue guy slams door on Red guy, however the door has large glass panels, so Red Guy can still keep watching Blue guy like an absolute pervert.

The second two panels are titled “Blocking someone on Bluesky”

Panel 3: The Blue guy is reaching down and picking up a large piece of machinery. The red guy watches him.

Panel 4: The large piece of machinery is revealed to be a shoulder mounted nuclear cannon. Blue Guy uses the cannon to blast Red guy completely out of existence.
