"Big Dumb Animal" gets his name honest. He's kind of the dumb hairy strong but gentle giant type. He's not going to lead many missions, but he's a good guy to have on your side (once he gets mad, he stays that way). And he's good to have around on poker night too, as every table needs a sucker.

And who says Dred-Noks can't be good guys? While not a member of that gang he would certainly fit the part, from his bike, to his shaved head/beard/tattoos. BDA certainly chooses to express his own sense of style, now that he's a special ops agent rather than Army Ranger. He's especially proud of his biker gang painted tactical vest.

The tattoos he wears include "mom" on his right bicep, barbed wire on the left. His biker gang logo on his right forearm (a logo which was actually later adopted by the Paladin Knight he works for), and the EXCAL "sword in stone" logo on his left.

This isn't my best work ever, but it's the first complete custom Joe I ever made. The sculpted head was my first attempt, and I can actually justify the lumpiness for this guy. At least there's no overly visible seam to it. The paint is also not the crispest I've done, but I did learn a lot from this guy. And for some reason the flaws kind of help make the character.

I do think the tattoos turned out fairly well, and the logo on the back is a waterslide decal painted over to blend in.
