Well, to start off, I gotta say this was one of the most challenging projects I've embarked upon to date.

This is my first (of many) collaborations with another artist. I was lucky enough to have JAF (of sector70) add incredible articulation to *good* condition Dinobots I picked up across the boards and on ebay.

You'll find larger and more images of these guys, including group shots later this week on my website (click my banner)

The golden color was a challenge to hit, but I am happy with the overall palette. I created duplicate sets of the stickers on illustrator and created water slide decals, which you can see throughout the custom(s)

Thanks to JAF and the fan who commissioned the project. Definitely gonna revisit this project one day and take it to the ultimate level be having them combine  

Anyway, Here's Grimlock! (this is gallery 1 of 5)

When you gotta go...
​

 

I like it a lot. Although I have to say that I'm partial to the chrome and metallic look of the original toy. Doesn't make this a bad custom though.

 

man you are just awesome.

 

Awesome, can't wait to see Snarl.

 

LOL Grimlock's sh!tting nuts and bolts! Wow that is funny.

 

Per usual F_R, another beautiful custom. But why o why must Grimlock poop in the pic? LOL

 

This whole set makes me almost say the Hell with MP Grimlock and save that towards a commission of these. Just barely thou. 

I'd have to say the is by far my fav of yours F_R. And you hit the yellow dead on. The only thing that would have been closer is gold leafing it like you did your MP. Where's that damn clapping emot-icon when you need it?

 

Grimlock being my favorite of the dinobots looks amazing!
nothing beast G1 Grimlock IMO!(except maybe MP Grimlock but thats a different topic lol)
i lovee the last picture you have displayed in the thread with the screws n stuff lol nice touch!  
all he needs is Wheelie on his head lol

 

beautiful! I just have to amrvel at those paint apps absolutely amazing and a another killer custom (all of em)

 

like i said over on cybertron.ca,awesome work!!the last pic makes me laugh 

 

One more thing, any plans for doing the weapons too?

 

....wow.

 

I'm a little sad to see the transparent neck go, as that detailing is what struck me about these toys originaly. But he looks so very well with it painted too, you've brought up so much detail. JAF's work is amazing as well, he's freed up an awesome mould.

 

awsome work. i poop like how grimlock does.... should i talk to my doctor?

 

Oh, great. Poop jokes. How childish.
Now where did I put my light-up megatron lollipop...

 

*Refrains from posting completed Cy-Kill*

 

Dude, that's just freakin awesome!

 

dam bow down pick my tounge up off the floor..........awesome

 

It looks like this Grimlock has quite a gap at his stomach region ? Wasn't it possible to cover that somehow ?

 

What is up with that huge gap between his chest and lower torso???Looks like somebody hit him with a dual bladed table saw.Paint looks good though!
