Artist John Gallager has shared via his Instagram account a new exclusive variant cover for IDW’s new Transformers Comic Series: Issue #3.
This a brilliant piece of art featuring Jetfire and Starscream in the middle of of fierce air battle surrounded by explosions and enemy fire. Jetfire is shooting his blaster and we can spot that he’s showing a Decepticon insignia on his chest. Starscream is flying below him as support. We are sure your optics will love this piece of art.
This cover is exclusive to UK Sad Lemon Comics. It is limited to 600 copies worldwide with a numbered certificate of authenticity. You can order it here for £15.50 ($19.60 approximately) plus shipping.

People complain about Livio, but at least he actually draws the characters before going into photoshop.
This is disgusting.

That megatron doesn't even look altered from the statue
Digger
This is straight up theft. Crazy.

Obviously you dont have to use photoshop, it's just the verb everyone using when talking about image manipulation. And yeah they all have minor changes, just enough to have the details of the Siege toys

Hahaha everyone is saying photoshop I can have same work look same as this cover using different program not photoshop itself.,
Sound wave is different from statue minor differences

John Gallagher is the most lazy Transformers artist in a long long while. All of his Transformers artwork is straight up copied or photoshoped from toy photos or video game screencaps. here's some examples:

Image editing tools should be used to complement your skills as an illustrator, not to compensate for the lack of them. This is almost as bad as certain artists hired by Marvel who trace over 3D models instead of sketching out character and architecture themselves.

Yikes! This cover just keeps on giving. Jetfires right arm looks like it comes from the stock photo of him in his Siege armor. And Starscream's intakes are nearly at a 90' angle instead of parallel.
I wanted to like it at first glance but it looks like it was done in a hurry.
Hot Shot.
I wish my right arm had an outward bend past the elbow…

Jetfire's thighs look completely different what the hell
Digger
You’re absolutely right. God this is trash.

I'm pretty sure that Jetfire's head is just a trace/edit of FansToys Phoenix head, too.
omegafix
Meh
Dont do variants
Digger
How the hell did this get approved!?

"Certificate of authenticity" they spelt Adobe Photoshop wrong

Lmao it so is, what the heck?!?!?
Also what up with jetfire’s left arm?

If the rebooted IDW series has actual conflict again instead of pages upon pages of wokeness and bland soap opera dialogue, I may, MAY bite.

Starscream's head is the MP11 head photoshopped on…
