8 Ballers "Clockwork King"

Hi folks. I admit it's been a while since I've gotten to hang out and contribute here (not that I haven't been watching from time-to-time), but I'm a sucker for contests. I'm also a sucker for movie posters. Combine the two and...well...I can't pass that up. (of course it may also have something to do with the kids recent requests to get in a play CoH again).

In ANY case, it'll be fun to get to chat with y'all again. *waves to TA, War Patriot, and Kat*

I had a few ideas in mind for the movie poster contest and I was moving forward with a couple of them at least...that was until they changed the line "enter as often as you like" to "one entry per person". With that in mind a couple of ideas hit the chopping block. This was a sketch for one of those ideas.

It was an origin story to the Clockwork King...prior to his brain in a jar days.



Click on the image to bounce to my DA site and catch a little more info on the image. I think it woulda made a cool poster, but had to narrow it down to one and the other is a little further along.

Comments welcome as always.

Todd

Thanks. I'll finish it up someday...I'd even worked up a nice little movie title treatment.



Hadn't quite narrowed down the tagline to one though.

Thanks again,
Todd

Amazing art but...

Clockie was a teenager before he became a brain in a jar.


Though that image makes a great Nemesis.

Whaaaaaat.

and it can't be Nemesis, we already know what Nemesis looks like, and before you say the alternate-universe one might look different you have to take into consideration that the fake Nemeses do bear rather a resemblance to him...

I missed that somewhere along the way.

Oh well...but hey it's a comic book universe so I'm sure I can think of SOME way to make this an alt dimension Clockwork King.

Thanks for catching it though.

Tis true

Doesn't stop it being an awesome image, though. Very nicely done.

The Praetorian version might have been older...

Probably not, given that no one else in Preatoria is.

Plus he acts even more like a teenager when you encounter him.

Well, Praetorian Shalice Tillman is younger than Primal Shalice. By a lot.

Our Sister Psyche is 91 (let that sink in, Ninety-one)*, where Mother Mayhem was born during the Hamidon Wars which took place after the Korean War, so couldn't be much older than 40 or 50, and I doubt she's even that old. She became a Praetor at 22.


*Born July 13, 1920 (this assume it's 2012 in game as well as in real life)

And, confusingly, Praetorian Hamidon has been around for many decades, while Primal Hamidon seems to have been a monstrous lump for only about ten to fifteen years.

More importantly, that's a great image (it does look to me like I always imagined middle-aged, 19th century Nemesis). And glad to see you back, 8Baller!
