a personal setback.
Did a slight redesign on SG Yoketron’s colors! Yknow I gotta thank Derrick J Wyatt over on twitter for giving me tips on picking colors in character design: it’s not always so easy! Interestingly enough, by removing the warm yellow-green from SG!Yoketron’s frame--only leaving cool colors---gives a more chilling opposite feel compared to the original Yoketron.
He looks almost...undead. Now y’all know how I depict SG Yoketron: cold, vile, ruthless, aggressive; no sense of good morals. And usually from these character elements, the best colors to represent that are dark, cool, and muted colors. Thanks for coming to my color theory and character design TED talk.
TFA Shattered Glass: Master Yoketron! Hooo boy. I finally got around to designing him.
To get an idea to what he’s like: You guessed it. The complete opposite of the gentle, patient Yoketron we know and love. He is cold, cruel, and has been known to have violent and horrible ways of teaching his students. These students of his shape up to become Autobot assassins. To those who do not obey his teachings, he has…rather questioning ways to punish them. The peacekeeping Decepticons have known about this individual and the awful things he has done.
Thing that sUCKS: he lives in this AU. Lockdown in this AU raids the dojo in order to rescue the protoforms, for he was a former student of Yoketron. He was successful but barely got out alive as he had to face his old master once again.
Ricochet’s own sensei was one of the sole reasons he has completely lost all sanity. SG!Yoketron had realized Ricochet was a pretty unstable mech, who did not follow orders. So he had to put him in check, by implanting a code in his processor that responds to Yoketron’s command. He uses old Cybertronian dialect to trigger Ricochet’s senses in order to obey. yEAH, messed up.
It’s been years that Ricochet has come across Yoketron, and while he has never told a soul about this, and has pushed it away, he wishes he may never have to face his old master again.
I really wanted to give a sort of weakness to SG!Jazz cause well? Everyone has a weakness. and man, I love drawing Ricochet being vulnerable and in PAIN. Nice for a change >:)
