For who don't know or remember Transformers, this should be one of the main characters of the first serial, Megatron - the evil, Walter P38 gun transforming one... except in the original form he isn't female-looking.

I had the idea fancying about the fact in Italian gun is pistola and pistola is a female noun.

The process of doing this was complicated.
- sketched on paper
- scanned and printed in pure cyan
- inked with a 2b pencil to have black lines
- scanned again and separated the black from the cyan
- passed the black separation under Potrace and vectorized
- opened the vector in photoshop and colored mainly via gradients with brush touches here and here

And all this because I have shaky hands ;_;
