Air Hammer's Transformers Digibashes

[waspshot23]

clocker as streetwise! yes!

[Nickster891]

interesting just one question what the heck is a digibash

[Airhammer]

@Nickster891 - In short, a digital recoloring of an object to resemble something else. In this case I use Photoshop to change the color of Transformers toys to resemble other Transformers characters.

[Nickster891]

@Airhammer cool

[gavinfuzzy]

Hey.. .can u make a tutorial on how you did this? thanks.

[Airhammer]

@gavinfuzzy : I'll see what I can do : )

[RenjiAbarai777]

who were that last set and where can i find them?

[Airhammer]

@RenjiAbarai777 : I used the Energon Combaticons for Soundwave and his minions. The set was given a repaint and released under the last movie line. You may still be able to find the Bruticus Maximus set in stores. Otherwise look online.

[Airhammer]

New digibashes and more can be seen on my Deviantart account.

[Edoki83]

hey whats the name of the bat at 4:29?

[Airhammer]

@Edoki83: Ratbat, modeled after the G1 character of the same name. Digibashed from Sonar, a female Maximal.

[JackdawtheClown]

If only you ran Hasbro. Brilliant stuff there.

Been wanting Clocker repainted as Streetwise for ever.

Love Armourhide as G1 Ironhide.

Bruticus Maximus as Soundwave and co. is inspired.

If you do any more, I'd love to see RID Ultra Magnus as Motormaster and Defence Hot Shot as Ruckus.

Again, fantastic work.

[bl00demon97]

[anovasinn]

what is the story behind the black and yellow/gold grimlock? it looks so nice 5:30

[anovasinn]

my bad i ment 0:59 not 530

[Airhammer]

@anovasinn: That bash was based off of Tyrannitron. A small robot dinosaur that came with Action Master Snarl. He transformed into a weapon.

[anovasinn]

@Airhammer Very cool Thanks after i watched this video i wanted to paint my animated grimlock like this. i may still do that :p

[DJazz410]

3:33 sweet

[Transnicle]

painted over but very good. beautiful, beautiful video.

[Fabrazz]

Does it basically mean that you photoshop toys into transformers?

[Airhammer]

Basically it means you're make a digital alteration of an image to resemble something else.

[Fabrazz]

I do a lot of works in photoshop but I am ashamed to say: Whats a digibash? :(

[RamWorkz]

[dudeguysproductions]

[Cyberleader2002]

arsom i would love to see each stage of god Ginrai transfomachion in the nemis prime colours

[francisalec]

what should i type if i would look for the tutorial?

[Airhammer]

Searching for "Photoshop Coloring Tutorial" brings up a few vids which can get you going. Some in much more detail than I'd give, so you'll learn more.

[bmanbills]

motor master was great

[Sye909]

Cy-kill was gorgeous :D

[shawn11189]

how do you do Digibashing.

like what program do you use.

and can you make a purple/black digibash of cybertron metroplex.

[Airhammer]

I'm currently using Photoshop CS2.

How to do it is quite easy. Quick steps are:

1. Make sure your Mode is set to RGB Color.

2. Desaturate the pic if you wish.

3. Use the Polygonal Lasso to highlight the desired areas.

4. Use the color swatches, Hue/Saturation, and Colorize box to alter the color of your selection.

I could go into much more detail, but there's only so much room here to fill. I'm sure there are many tutorial vids out there.

and yes I could look into that Metroplex.....

[shawn11189]

what is Photoshop CS2.

and i really wold be greatful if you did that metroplex b/c i want to paint my that color and i kinda want a reference point.

[Airhammer]

Well..it's a program. Look it up, or Wiki it.

Any particular way you'd want to see Metroplex done, or should I go by my own viewpoint?

[shawn11189]

i would prefer a purple/black version.

more purple then black.

[Airhammer]

Okay, all done.

I went with a couple variations of purple, some black, silver, and a little red and yellow.

I'll message you the link.

[wesleyv1]

cool super soundwave

[CTmada109]

i cant believe there is gobots

[HyperDragoonHx]

Huh? Red Alert as a... Decepticon!?

[Airhammer]

Hasbro repainted Cybertron Red Alert as Cannonball, a Decepticon pirate. I then took the figure and changed it into the G1 Triggercon, Crankcase.

Hasbro later did the same and released Crankcase under the first movie line.

[HyperDragoonHx]

Oh, ok.

[unpenitrible]

whos the guy at 1:08

[Airhammer]

Wildrider or Wreck-Gar? The timing is a bit off at that point.

Anyway, the vid description is to the right. When I figure out the annotations I may put the names in the vid.

[unpenitrible]

it was wild rider, tnx

[stinkysnak7]

oilslick

[alph42]

For some reason, I had thought you'd been digibashing for alot longer than just two years. Maybe I got that impression from seeing the BW figures you've done.

[trasufoma]

BANANAS!

[Airhammer]

lol, hi Wrecker.

[Dualor]

bloody hell their good, wish some of em would be released by hasbro, (come on you guys like making repaints :) )

5 stars for the awsome customs technically

[autobot3300]

can you send it to me please

[Airhammer]

Sure thing, just PM me your e-mail. : )

[autobot3300]

where did you took the 2 nd music at 3:24

[Airhammer]

You're asking where I got it from?

Back before the first movie came out 2 years ago, this theme would play on the Transformers the Game website. As for how I got it, I think someone had a download of it in another Youtube vid, can't remember.

Either way, I do have an mp3 of the song.

[HaiKu84]

Noice!

[Optimuspot420]

Cool Hammy!
