i think the technique on it is fantastic!
but for me the parts seem separate... like it isn't a cohesive look or something

Too much fun Kirkland! I like how you really played up the "beast" in this guy. He goes where the wild things are!

Mmm... Matsumoto's shave ice. Perhaps this warrants a weekend visit.
I like the play off the gold glitter in the vinyl, a 'cool' concept.

There used to be a huge "Wild Things" indoor playground for tots at Metreon here in SF. The kiddies loved it but it's not there any more. I never saw Rangeas in that light until I saw this custom. Not sure if that's what Kirkland intended but it's a fun connotation. I agree, that's a "must have" book for children.

ok......seriously now.....
Grover is a bumbling idiot at best even when in Super Grover mode.
He's a sorry excuse for a monster.

 Love the colors on this one as well.
That's two great rangeas customs. Is there a clearer headshot or shot from the front?

this is my favorite Rangeas that I've seen! I love the contrast between the highlights & cool base colors. Great job!
