rebecky_moGod, WHY do I always pick the pairings with NO FANDOM?! *flails*
For those not in the know, back in the original Transformers cartoon, a narcissistic (I SPELT IT RIGHT! *pats self on back*) flying-car/robot named Tracks went for a ride in New York, and found himself wrapped around a lamp post (NOT LIKE THAT). Unable to really move, let alone transform, he was stuck.
Enter Raoul, his Latin-accented, breakdance-loving knight in shining armor. Or maybe just his potential carjacker. Actually, both work. (See Transformers, 'Make Tracks' at your local Youtube)
There was snark. And banter. And a lot of 'dudes' and 'mans'. And more banter. And a human in TF actually being useful and cool. In another episode, we even got some bondage. (Again, check out Youtube, this time for 'Auto Bop')
I fell for these two HARD. And of course they only got 2 episodes to hang out. Raoul's never been seen again, and Tracks has had a few cameos.
So I figured I'd bring 'em into the 21st century a bit. Meet my modern version of Raoul, and Tracks' Holoform (working on my robot drawing skills still).
They were kinda stubborn about their new looks in some aspects. Tracks INSISTED he be a redhead, rather than a blonde, and while I kinda wanted to give Raoul some facial hair, he just wasn't happy with it. For those not in Tranformers fandom, a 'Holoform' is a hologram the TF's use in order to blend more into human society (Barricade used one in the first TF movie). In the fandom though, they can be a bit more solid. ;D
Aaaaand the next pic is SO NO SAFE FOR WORK. Here's a little blurb to go with it.
Normally, Tracks had no interest in mechs with chassis that were full of dents, bumps and scratches. Nothing but flawless perfection was good enough for him.
The thing is, human beings were nothing BUT misshapen lumps, indentations, and scratches that (supposedly) couldn't be buffed out with anything but time. Raoul was no exception.
Only, Raoul WAS the exception; a category all to himself.
I'm actually pretty happy about the anatomy here; Tracks was giving me trouble with his hands, and his face still bugs me. But Raoul actually works; I was super-freaked I would have his arms at contortionist angles, and his muscles don't look completely stupid (I made him buffer than I see him being, but I blame the angles). I'm undecided on the personal bits though. :/ My first time drawing them though, so I'll forgive myself.
You may notice bits of 'Tracks' are faded out. Not a mistake, just Tracks losing enough concentration for his Holoform to be 'compromised' a bit.
