    i didnt appreciate this to its fullness until i was literally standing in a giant brute chieftain's mouth. dude, it's epic, the usage of rocks is amazing, and almost gives it a scarily realistic muscle tone.

    now with jetpacks, giant aesthetic maps like this have a new little spark and yet another reason to download.

    bravo

    That's disappointing, I was expecting something that would actually offer some play time for a featured map, especially the first featured map. As for the map itself, besides the head, it looks like an elite, not a brute. Not hating on aesthetic maps, but almost all featured ones offer playability or more than just a few minutes of looking at them/exploring it, this is just a statue.

    Wow, I can't believe I didn't see this before it was featured.

    This has definitely gotta be my favorite aesthetic piece you've ever done.
    Congrats on the feature Grim.

    I can't wait to see your next work of art.

    This.
    My only concern is that people are criticising it from the pictures (he looks too skinny, the hammer looks too big etc.).
    That never used to happen before, because you could never judge a featured competitive map by its pictures (as a rule of thumb).
    I guess that's just the way it goes with aesthetic maps, but I'd still advise people to download it. What if, from one angle, the chieftain looks all blocky and out-of-proportion? Not saying that this is the case, rather just an example.
    This is more just my own little niggle about people replying to featured maps really, and how it's so easy to say "Congratz mate, nice map [congratz on premium too]!", that it's almost spam. I'm just not sure whether it's a good thing or a bad thing that people are able to offer constructive criticism about this map just from the pictures in this thread...

    Its skinny because it worked out, derps.

    This is really big, and it also does deserve to be on the bungie weekly update. Good job grim, cant wait to see more.

    Thank you to everyone, whether or not you like this feature I will have to agree with Epic. If I see any posts which say skinny, or awkward stance I can not help but think that you base that opinion off one single picture. It's whole different ball game when you stand right next to the thing, and see it in 3d. The hammer balances out his stance, yes the hammer is massive, but that is not your regular brute. This is the literal grand daddy of all brutes. Oldschool armor and oldschool weapon. Im honored by the feature, but I have a feeling that it will be followed up by an EPIC invasion or CTF map. I have seen some crazy stuff being built by some of the biggest names out there, and I can't wait to see them finished and posted. My next aesthetic work will take a 180 degree turn, but I'm staying on topic. It will be posted on another site until I see a new feature being chosen here. Thanks to everyone who enjoy this artwork. Plan to see more in the future

    There was a Bungie Site Update with Brute Chieftain on it. Pretty awesome to make it there, I have to say.

    I did Dl this map and go around it and i still say he looks a little skinny, and his stance isn't the way some people are used to.

    If i line up one thing with another i would also be a little jealous.

    Most people are not used to seeing a monkey hopping on top of a mountain either

    Dude when I first played this I was like "HOLY **** HOW THE **** DID HE ******* DO THAT SO ******* FAST AND SO PRECISE?!" then I showed everyone your work and they said the same... apart from one guy who said "Yeah it's cool but he should'a made the Chief" after I thought actually that'd be ******* awesome, but at the time before I subscribed to forgehub I said "YOU DO IT THEN!! Be grateful... D***!" When people say 'Remember Reach' I think most people will remember this EPIC forge creation, congrats! :D

    Amazing map

    Very good map. One thing though, you seemed to have left a warthog in the middle of nowhere... but its still awesome nonetheless.
