Cool as always Chewie!

 

[Theo Zissou]

i was hoping for Fast Food workers, but brutes should be pretty cool too. i love both of yours chewie. they both come off very smooth and i like the head of the TOAROFF. nice work

 

[Jordan Hofer]

Chewie, you never fail to amaze me--those are INCREDIBLE! I don't even know where to begin. But I gotta say, using Bigfoot is pure genius!

 

[johnboy walton]

Chewie, I already mentioned it on your thread, but it's worth saying again -- - great work with these 2 guys.

The way you painted Rosnik's eyes - very creepy, and I think he would fit in with the Badoo Corba perfectly.

Toaroff is just plain freakish - in a good way. :lol:



Lessee... I tried to go through and come up with someone big, and I was about to pursue Meeko (from the Bounty Hunter video game), but just couldn't come up with the right parts.

So, as it stands, I think I'm going to stretch the theme this month a bit, and make my own version of Montross, from the same game. Hopefully he'll turn out where he can fit with this crowd. 8)

[YAK_Chewie]

Thanks guys for the nice comments! Those two Brutes were a hell of a lot of fun, so I was so happy that Brutes won this month... nice to see something win that's a "serious" type topic again for me at least - I had the TOAROFF character in rough stages about 6 months ago actually, and now finally found a reason to work on the custom.

Jordan - Ha Ha, TUFMAK is an awesome name! I love it. Wonderful idea, and well executed. You always come up with creative ideas that I never would have thought of.

:wink:

 

[Jordan Hofer]

Thanks, Chewie! This was definitely a fun one. I think Tufmak's cap with the tail feathers makes him. Can't wait to see what others come up with!

 

[BrentS]

That guy is hysterical. Its like I'd imagine Little John (a la Robin Hood) in a Star Wars setting!

 

[Jordan Hofer]

Yeah, that's who he reminded me of! Seriously, when I finished him I thought he looked familiar, but you nailed it! Thanks!

 

[Rune Haako]

Someone should make a Neimoidian Brute.

I would, but I suck at customs. :lol:

 

[BrentS]

I think you could copy one of Chewies custom recipes and make the Neimoidian. That would look pretty cool.

 

[Jordan Hofer]

Yeah, Rune! Go for it! You can do it! All I use are an exacto knife, super-glue, and model paints. My customs aren't nearly as cool looking as Chewie's or many of the others, but they're still fun!

 

[YAK_Chewie]

I like your addition to this month Jordan, that's hilarious. But I can totally see a Talz wearing clothes like that, Foul Moudama really changed how I view that species.

Rune, I say GO FOR IT in your customizing endeavors. We all have to start somewhere... you could probably make some sort of Nemoidian Brute with a Dengar or Mustafar Miner... also thanks for the kind words guys on my customs, but really you guys inspire me all the time with what you make!

:wink:

ROSNIK

TOAROFF

Absolutely brilliant work on these two CHEWIE! The paint applications on both is what caught my eye and the use of part that you chose to create these badas$ dudes! These have gone to the top of the list of my favorites right now....untill you end up topping these of course

really cool horse head. i might try to make one of those for my own collection

 

[Incom]

Already some brewtal entries! (Sorry, couldn't help myself, being a BLS/Zakk Wylde fan :twisted: )

Toaroff really looks awesome, Chewie! If it wasn't for the recipe, I was totally under the assumption you did some serious modding to a Wookiee head!

Tufmak's very cool as well. One tough mac, indeed!

Skoo Bak is very original. I thought we'd get to see big, fat brutes only, but this guy's scaring me, man! Great work!

 

[BrentS]

I love Skoo Bak - never in a million years would I have thought to make a Brute out of Yarael Poof!
