So thanks to the Letters Page we've been collecting a lot of characters and concepts that don't currently have art, and well, see the title of this thread. :) I thought it would be a fun thing to ask.
Some of my own wishlist:
Fashion is high on my list. :D Gotta agree, I'd love to see Caleb as well.
My tastes trend toward "anything that could be made into a variant". I mean, Christopher has said they're not gonna make any more, so that's the fandom's purpose now, innit? :V
That guy from the filter/block episode. What was his name?
revenant out of the armor.
pre-AZ Ryan frost.
golden age AZ.
golden age wraith and legacy (come on, you know they had golden age versions)
Golden age Legacy is his dad so we already have that
That chaos witch who is the source of Unity would be cool or Gallo the trickster magician
Felix Stone?
Rose Griggs
Good call - there’s a lot about his original appearance we still don’t know, including build, skin color, hair color, body language, … It would be interesting to see!
Yes it is, and in that spirit, I would like to see art of the Sallow Skald. and to a lesser degree the rest of the Technicolor Troubadours,
Madame mittermire aka the original glamour
So far no one's mentioned that cosmic entity of passion that gave Galactra her powers.
Fashion is probably at the top of my list though.
I want to see Cryo Bot singing “Do you want to build a snowman” to Absolute Zero.
Add my votes for Fashion, the Shrieker, Madame Mittermeier, the Chaos Witch, and any of the other Virtuosos of the Void Adam ever felt like drawing.
Also Citizens Pain and Gain, poor Citizen Gate, Ignazio Gallo, Shuen Zang, The Master, Night Snake, and Orthrus.
We wouldn't mind getting some artwork for a few more named Gloom Cultists
dont we already have night snake artwork?
Oh, so we did, a sketch anyway. I listen to the podcasts in an app while driving, so I don't see the show notes unless they specifically suggest we look at them during the show.
Third me up for Gallo!
I get the feeling we're getting at least some characters' appearances on OblivAeon cards, particularly the "Technicolor Troubadours" (that's going on my ever growing "Favorite Fan Nicknames" list), but wanting more substantial art for fan variant purposes is an interesting idea. I would vote for bigger artwork of Black Fist as well, in that vein.
After the latest episode of the podcast I would like to see junk merchant Greaser and his broken down space van.
Recent discussions elsewhere have made me think of a couple other ideas I wouldn't mind seeing:
A Norman Rockwell-style illustration of Grandpa Legacy and some of the other superheroes from that era.
An in-actual-Sentinels continuity pic of normal!Visionary, normal!Argent, and Nightmist smiling. (Since currently all we have is Argent's card from Sentinels of the Ninth.)
Yes to this. Double-yes.
I wonder what it says about them that only the evil versions of Visionary and AA smile?
I personally kinda wonder what it says about Anthony that he's capable of both this smile and this smile.
I really want to see some more of the less combat effective citizens, maybe the late citizen gate?
-How werewolves look like in Sentinels.
-That two-headed wolf-man lumberjack.
-Maybe Con "in person"? If he somehow has a main computer or something similar, instead of being the entire bunker.
The Time Travel episode brought up the desire to see the various time-travelling heroes in their Wild West Disguise garb.
I need a distance shot of Tempest looking out over the sea at the 4 setting suns of his homeworld... prefferably scored by john williams.
Would like to see
- Original Freedom Five
-Original FF fighting against Baron Blade
-Haka and Tachyon visiting a children's hospital
For some reason my eyes read that as 'Haka and Tachyon VERSUS a children's hospital' the first time around…
That could also be interesting.
-literally anything from the animalverse, but especially gloombeaver
-haka presenting small pies to small children
-the bot that unity made out of omnitron in the cosmic contest (assuming it didnt just look like omnitron u)
-also from the cosmic contest, biomancer fully kitted out with wings and claws
-endlings cramming themselves into the enclave rec room to watch Lost
For a while this is probably the closest you’ll get https://twitter.com/Gjava_vont/status/932680256544272385
That's great. For some reason, I was picturing Gloombeaver with fur rather than the skull, although that does make more sense.
I'm in awe.
I think I'm in love with the phrase "have a gloombeaver"
I was expecting a crocodile skin beaver tail more than a furry head. But that is glorious art.
Okay, twenty minutes into the Tempest episode, and I think we need to see this first iteration of Captain Cosmic.
I’m picturing a sort of John Carter of Mars / Flash Gordon type, with a ray gun in one hand, a green alien babe on the other arm, some kind of dog-creature behind him to one side, and a menacing alien warrior hiding in the bizarrely bulbous vegetation behind him on the other side. Big ol’ “CAPTAIN COSMIC” in slanting swoopy letters over the orange alien sky.
Because, I mean, that pulp art is terrible, but it’s also awesome.
Based on a somewhat-recent Reddit convo: Art of what some of the various Non-Action-Guy/Girl heroes and villains would look like without the Comic Book Build filter applied. >_>
What I want to see: an in-universe sentinel comics building. (Like marvel or DC exist within their comic universes)
After hearing the Prime Wardens podcast episode: Adam, if you do not draw XTREME Fashion someday, you will have failed us all.
I am still putting in my vote for art of the electric guitar duel between XTreme Argent and Ruin.
Also: Xtreme Setback. And Xtreme Unity.
Just, a giant splash shot of every X-treme character.
Jim Brooks, Virtuos of the Void.
I NEED to see that in full-fledged art.
Yeah I second this. He needs a cheesy Virtuoso name too.
The Silver Sheriff? The Roan Ranger?
All I can think of right now is the Gunmetal Guardian… Or if we can steal the color from AA, the Silver Sherif. Jim seems like the guy who would rather go for a straight-shot name without too much need for that fancy book learnin' to understand.
I just like the description of him as "Virtuoso of Void... Stuff".
That is definitely how he would describe himself.
"You're the... what?"
"Don't rightly understand it myself, pardner. Now stand aside. That there earth spirit's about to get an earful o' this here harmonica. I don't aim to misplay."
Yeah, just the juxtaposition of Jim being the most uncomplicated down-to-earth guy ever while being the chosen one playing a magical harmonica is what makes it so incredibly hilarious.
All I can picture is the guitar duel at the end of Crossroads, between Steve Vi and Ralph Macchio.
Also as for Jim Brooks, the Copper Copper? if we want to avoid repeating colors & still keep his down to earth-tones maybe he would be the Ochre Officer,
the Tawny Tin-man…don't know if that one works, i might be getting TinMan from… well… Tin Man
hmm…maybe, the Mahogony Marshal
In the other thread, I suggested the Silver Sheriff or the Roan Ranger.
I liked Girl With No Name's suggestion of the Hazel Harmonicist, too. But Silver Sheriff and Mahogany Marshal both have a nice ring to them...
What about Golden Gunslinger?
Literally the scene I linked to in my summary on the reddit thread. So glad my weird pop culture touchstones are known by others.
You win!
Such a good movie, goes another step when you realize Ralph played that scene himself… like, i know it was prewritten by Steve, & he had practice time unlike the scenario in teh movie but still… dang.
I was going to see if I should watch that movie, but I'm probably never watching any movie ever again. Movies have peaked with this scene. I was probably thinking of this one though, you don't get much more epic than standing atop opposing plateaus.
I like also comparing the Crossroads scene to the violin piece that is the basis for the bit that Ralph uses to stump Steve in the movie. Paganini's Caprice no. 5.
