That's really cool! There's a lot of detail worked into the sculp, and it's cool seeing how everything is layered up. Excellent work! Look forward to seeing more!

Well I hope I did this next one justice since I know you like the character. Here's Bacon! I had a harder time here than with Penne translating the design from 2D to 3D, so where there were question marks I tended to veer more human head-like than stylized. Basically I would rather chase after the spirit of the character than directly follow the design, if I couldn't do both. Also a couple more process photos this time. Thanks for looking! I do have more actual plastic model things in the works, I swear!

Oh man, that is amazing! The depth behind the headband, the eyes, etc. looks great, and I think the stylized hair works really well, too. Also, those chin hairs are very well rendered! The realistic approach really did this character a lot of justice, and meshes well with the character design.

I agree; even though I don't watch the show, your depiction of the character is really great. Honestly, it is better than THEIR interpretation of their own character!

Haha the chin hairs-- I considered doing them as a solid shape, or scribe lines, or just leaving them off entirely, but I thought it added a little to the "tiger" vibe to have them done in relief. I agree; even though I don't watch the show, your depiction of the character is really great. Honestly, it is better than THEIR interpretation of their own character! Thank you Maethius!

It may look like a Gil Raptor, but it looks like an AWESOME Gil Raptor! Super well done on the Zoid and on Drake!

I love this more than I can say you did such a fantastic job with the shapes of the flames I'm still confused about pilot size though, I swear 1/33 ones look completely different every time I see them

Thanks Maethius! And thank you very much as well Snowflake, that's very kind! Right, I had forgotten to mention the scale which makes no sense to me. Drake's definitely a smaller scale than the clear pilots that the Wild kits come with, which I did because I feel like Zoids are more imposing if they are larger in comparison to people. But as you can see he's also bigger than the old 1/72 pilots (I haven't checked if they are truly 1/72, just going by their word), mostly because I needed him to still be recognizable as the character. So, I'll just say this is truly a non-scale figure and leave it at that, since I too am confused

The scale for Drake looks ok compared to the Raptor. After all, he's not an adult yet! The detail is, as usual, superb. Love the shading and weathering. What's particularly impressive is the animated pose and expression. It really fits the character, and is quite a daring leap from the typical riding pose pilots. Wish normal pilots were this dynamic!

You know, it wouldn't be hard for a customizer (heck, for TT or Koto) to release a set of detailed pilot figures. Artists like you could make them available as resin minis, or as a 3D download. Your details are GREAT!

Well it would appear Hasbro is doing just that?

Looking at it one way, with the metal on the bottom My brain says Snake bacon like something out of a horror movie. Seriously cool though, Drake too Amazing details loving it.
