Post subject:  GATOR and the God of Cities

Couple of things I worked on last weekend:

First up, my homage to Gooch's amazeballs Croc Master, who I call GATOR. Still trying to decide if named character or designation; either way, the character is part of the Moray Pens Security Force:

Jack Hawksmoor, God of Cities:

crazy crocmaster! how about some breathing tubes? is he done or are going to paint? if the head was black with red eyes it would look "more" like crocmaster. whichever I like it !

god of cities is one i'm not familiar with. very cool figure and I love the wip picks!

suited guy - I'm not going to pretend to know him - is my fave. Interesting look, almost like a typically eccentric Bond villain.

Nice work on the mods to incorporate the HACKS part. And I love the way that HACKS head looks all painted up.

Thanks for the kind comments, folks.

Grip, that's an actual head, I assume from SM movie line -
2Dark, nope, no breathing tubes (but I did think about it) - he's not THE Croc Master, just A Croc Master-type Guy

Update:
Went back and painted his back (green citadel wash) to match the chest color:

Both pieces are fantastic. I don't know that I've seen many Jack Hawksmoor customs at all (usually the only Authority customs you see are Apollo and Midnighter), and I'm almost certain I've never seen one at this scale. Any chance you added the treads to the bottom of his feet?

I thought about it, actually, since the feet were from the grey HACKS blank, I thought I would just leave them unpainted. I also thought about trying to sculpt some, but then worried it would affect the figure's balance. In the end, I skipped it entirely, as they wouldn't be seen on display. I may revisit that decision later -

and thanks!
