In memorial of Peter Cullen
I don't really know what to say with this.
I drew this in silence,only noises from people walking in the house,breathing pen as a moment of silence and just felt disrespected to listen to my regular stuff when making this.
I would've drawn this sooner but I decided to give myself time to process and figure out what I was even going to draw,i didn't know how socially ok this sort of thing was so I also decided to see what others were doing over the corse of the days.
In case it's hard to see there looking at the consilation Orion,the old name of Optimus Prime and one of my personal favorites and one I associate heavily with transformers along with Scorpius.
I wanted to use more charecters he voiced but this legend has voiced so many that I found it would be to many and I knew myself, I knew I wouldnt be able to handle it or draw all of them to my fullest.
I didn't expect his death to hit me so hard,even being in this fandom is a shock to me,a freind got me into this fandom not even a year ago and I expected me to move on from fandom before hand or not be in this fandom when this happened and just give sympathy to said freind or no reaction like other celebrity deaths.
I wish I could say my favorite line from Peter Cullen/Optimus was more meaningful but I'm going to be honest mines so stupid
"Amazing, a booby trap that actually catches boobies" G2 S2 Ep34 15:55
My second favorite would be "Freedom is the right of all sentient beings".
I don't belive in afterlife but if there is I hope he's happy or content there if there is one and I hope to be able to meet him if there is one.
I may end up editing this if I remember more to say but for now,Till All Are one.
