Download to see full huge-ass image. XD

Finally finished this monster. XD This is definitely one of those cases where a project got away from me and blew up into something waaay bigger than I had anticipated. ;)

Made as a commission for an EXTREMELY patient client; Tracks here is a fully-functional coin bank; he towers at 16 inches tall and weighs in at just under 5lbs. Christ. XD That, folks, is a LOT of Sculpey. I actually used a combination of materials, including paperclay and wood for details like the wings and leg tires. The bank also has a hole in each foot with rubber plugs for easy money retrieval. :3

Raoul is removable, and can actually be perched in different areas on Tracks; I like putting him on top of Tracks' helmet; it makes Raoul look so smug. XD

Made from Sculpey, paperclay, balsa wood, and painted with acrylics and varnishes.

I can't even begin to imagine how much clay that took. You did a wonderful job with it. Do want!

Nearly 5 pounds of the stuff. Aka, a metric arse-load. XD

Thank you so much, I'm glad you like him! After I'm done with the next bank, I want to start making others; though they'll definitely be smaller than this one. XD

Geeez 5 pounds! I make little clay accents to go on some of my plushies and it hurts my fingers to just knead the little stuff. Kudos to you for working with that much and turning it into something amazing! Can't wait to see more when you make them!

:jawdrop: I just can't believe it! He's amazing!! All the details are absolutely perfect, and he has so many tiny little details! Looking at these two it is obvious that a lot of time and love went into them.

Tracks is just stunning. And Raoul is adorable! :heart::heart:

:blush: Wow, thank you! I think we're very much alike when it comes to details; they're what makes the character, visually, and we like to make sure all the little bits are present and accounted for. XD

Despite the fact that Tracks refused to stay small (he was supposed to be smaller than Ratchet bank, but ended up being three inches taller, the little git XD), I really did have a lot of fun making him, and it was a good thing that I had lots of references; both 2D and 3D to look at, that helped me immensely. :3

I love little Raoul perched on Tracks' shoulder; I've loved the rapport between the two of them ever since I first saw them in the original series. XD

I got your last note; I haven't forgotten you! ;) I'm just getting all my ducks in a row, and am going back and re-thinking some of the sketch ideas for Optimus. :D

The itty bitty details are the Best Part!! They are what makes it fun!:boogie:

Of course your awesome creations take on a life of their own. The personality, it's overwhelming! Especially Tracks! XD

lol I can't even remember what I wrote. I always defer to your creative judgment!

Hahah, this is definitely true, huh? :D I sometimes feel it's a contest with myself, just to see how anal I can be. XDD

Awww, thanks! :blush: And yes, that urbane git has a personality big enough to fill the apartment, and then some. ;)

*cackle* No worries, I'll answer your note properly soon, because I've been a bad girl and haven't done that yet, and we can work out the details then. ;)

Why thank you! :D Hahah, I should take a picture of it with something as a size comparison to show exactly how big this guy is. I love all his fiddly little details, they were fun to paint. XD

I think my client is satisfied; now if I can just get it to them in one piece, I'll be happy. XDD
