Thank you, it motivates me.
Not sure what it is about this one, but I think Brutus seems so badass as a just a dumb barbarian.
Boss Music starts playing AGAIN
So there's more to this beeg boi after all >w>
I can't tell if Brutus is holding a dead body in his hand or wuh 🤔
I think that's their cape, or shirt.
Awesome!
Brutus: You get the boys... I'll take care of these guys. Clovis: Are you sure? There's an awful lot of... Brutus: [interrupting, speaking slowly] They hit me with a truck. Clovis: Okaaayyy... (Venture Bros. reference)
Someone suggest these two Latin dancing.
Clovis: "Brutus? Nngh! How did you find me?" Brutus: "Easy. From 12:30 to 2:00 you always cruise the slums collecting debts. By 2:30, you arrive back at base to total everything up and calculate who still owes interest." Clovis: "You... keep track of my schedule?" Brutus: "It's my job, boss." Clovis: "But how did you know I'd be here specifically?" Brutus: "You're a creature of habits, boss. Always claim you come straight back and put everything in the safe once you've tallied everything up. But I noticed a pattern. Every Tuesday, you're approximately 6-7 minutes late and exactly 2gp short the reported collection revenue. Every Tuesday, the deli you pass by on your way back to base has a sale on bacon sandwiches, 2 for 2gp. Every Tuesday... you come home smelling like bacon. When you missed your 7 minute arrival window, I figured something was up. Made my way to that deli, followed your scent and the scent of bacon sandwiches from there." Clovis: "Brutus..." Brutus: "The nose knows, boss." Clovis: "...You are both the smartest and dumbest wolf I have ever met." Brutus: "Aww! Thanks, boss! Now, if you don't mind, I think I'm going to go grab one of those bacon sandwiches. Then I'll probably pass out. I have lost... a lot of blood."
Clovis looks stunned - By what, who can say? That he got beaten? That Brutus is still standing despite his wounds? That someone is truly as loyal as Brutus is to him? That Brutus is actually hotter than lava when he's hulking out? Really, who can say?
Probably all of the above. Clovis.exe has stopped working. Press awoo to reboot.
"BRO' TOSS! Puny dudes."
BEST BOY
Boi*
BRUTUS SMASH!!!
That is so epic
What the hell happened with Elvenhunters comment above? I can't read it or the reply and I can't send a reply directly to the chain to ask.
He wanted to know why a sketch suggest he made was denied. The reason it was denied and the reason the comment was deleted both probably being because of potential comic spoilers.
I love the shadows and lighting in this pic. Super well done
Still put my money on him being the most badass fighter next to Keith in the entire series.
Only one way to decide... Twokinds Tournament Arc!
He looks even more dangerous in color.
Beautiful work Tom. And a big thank you to all that voted for this to be colored.
Ditto! Thanks everybody!
No touchy Brutus's mate
The true Hero ///w///
Superb work. 😁
Well, you've gone and made him angry. That was a choice.
I looove this! And the lighting! ...bring back the feral keidrans!
That’s right, Flora had a “feral mode” in the early days of the comic, didn’t she? A redraw of that would be great. And, for that matter, feral Laura, feral Natani, feral Sythe, feral Adira… not sure if Mike, Evals or Kat would be capable of it, given their upbringing.
Damn, Brutus is Scary when he's angry.
Agreed
