So, me and ole Slice were spitballing the other day about Croc Master, and I decided I wanted to do a version of him based on my own head canon based criteria.
I'm sure in a few months Slice will drop something really stellar, so I wanted to get this out before then so I don't embarrass myself. As far as my vision of Croc Master, there's a few things there's one major thing that didn't sit well with me. I feel like his connection with his crocs and gators would be pretty intense- I don't think this is a guy that would wear their pelts or teeth or eyes as fashion accessories, some common acoutremont of many a Croc Master custom. As an extension, he would fucking hate poachers. So, my Croc Master kills poachers and takes their knives as trophies, the metaphorical teeth of the hunter. sort of like General Greivous collecting lightsabers. And I think he would generally be averse to guns, if for no other reason than it would be hard to keep ammo dry in the swamp. To that end, this dude is a beast. He has to be able to down a croc or gator that steps out of line with essentially his bare hands. No Mic Dundee gator whisperer shit. I did however want to represent gator/croc skin component, so for this version, after suffering a severe handling accident, convinces Scalpel to graft croc skin onto his own arm, which for him is a way of being closer to his pets. He considers this a transformation, not a garment. Psychotic, yet practical. Anyway, here's what I came up with.

Now that is a really awesome vision! A concept I can get behind. The gator-skinned graft arm is a fantastic idea. Stellar job Ax!

Man, I want to see his face but at the same time I'm kinda afraid...
I love your take on him and his backstory. Great custom.

I absolutely love this just for the sheer reimagining alone Ax. The ideas and thought put into it, make this one , one of my favorites of yours. The croc master / bane / grievous vibe is killer.

A very cool reimagining of Croc Master. Not to mention the custom's cool as hell too. Great parts choices, it's awesome how much beefier he is than the average Joe or Cobra.
