Optimus Prime

 

If you ever get to know me, you’ll quickly discover that I’m a nostalgic enthusiast for the ’80s cartoon era. This was the time I grew up in, and it holds a special place in my heart. Every morning before school, I would eagerly check what was airing on the local networks. Occasionally, they even showed cartoons after school. However, the real highlight was waking up on a Saturday morning and immersing myself in as many cartoons as possible from the five channels available.

 

 

Among all the cartoons, “Transformers” probably ranks in my top three favorites from my youth. Optimus Prime was a character I admired and looked up to as a child. In my heart, I was always an Autobot, never a Decepticon. As a kid, I always found myself cheering for the good guys.

 

 

My love for this era is showcased in a drawing I created using Manga Studio. I adore this program because it produces such clean, crisp lines and offers a wide variety of tools to help create clean graphics or ones that mimic the look of an ink pen. Looking at this graphic, you might think that I used a vector program, but this just highlights the quality of Manga Studio.

 

 

If you’re interested, feel free to visit my apparel shop. Hopefully, you’ll soon see a shirt featuring this design available for purchase. It’s a small way for me to share my love for the ’80s cartoon era with others who might appreciate it as much as I do.
