    I am GRODD!

    I've always wanted to make a custom Gorilla Grodd, but since he is basically just a monkey it is tough to bring something new to the table. I intergrated some of my favorite stuff from the evil/cyborg monkeys from Hellboy and some of the contraption stuff that I like to do and flung some poop.



    Grodd is a electronic King Kong. I repainted him to look like the animated style Grodd (with the gray belly and whatnot) I gave him telepathic/super-genius headgear, a wrist-mounted blaster and a portable computer/man-purse.









    This photoshoot happened during a family walk tonight before dinner. I put Grodd in the kid's wagon and we walked (maybe a mile) stopping and snapping pictures along the way (on the side of the road, in people's yards, etc...) I mean, I'm taking pictures of a villain, so a little trespassing is to be expected, right?

    And remember...keep your monkey out of the gutter!

                ^^^ Yeah, and guess who's working on a Grodd. Now I have to change gears a bit.

                  Nice. And there's something about him that would make him fit really well with T-Bolt's various customs . . .

                    I rip off T-bolt so much, I start to think they are MY ideas. But enough with that, from now on I'm just going to reimagine Batman villains and possibly do several versions of Batman...uh, skip that last part.

                    I'll be the first customizer to get a cease and desist letter from another customizer.
