Forgot to post this here, but happy birthday to the OG #optimusprime himself, Peter Cullen! I haven't worked with traditional media in a while, but I’m mostly happy with how it turned out. I meant to give it to him at Fan Expo Anaheim on June 28th as an early birthday present. #fanart #transformers
