Artist's Comments
Before The New World, before Salvatica, before The Black Paw, there was the age of Man. A world that vanished in a cloud of flame and agony under the might of Tiamat.
Original artwork depicting the end of The Human Age at the claws of Tiamat thousands of years prior to the events of The Black Paw Vol.1 Art By:  Comments
 This is ridiculously good!
Thanks, I'm glad you like it!
 Wow, interesting. What is Tiamat, some kind of robitc weapon gone amok akin to Skynet that is waging war on mankind, or is it something closer to the mythological Babylonian Dragon-Goddess? I guess I'm going to have to tune into this thing more and wait for the novel to come out to learn more.
Those robo-scorpions are interesting too, as is the ominous visage of what I assume is Tiamat. -- Optimus Prime: It's you and me, Megatron. Megatron: No, it's just me, Prime. Optimus Prime: At the end of this day, One shall stand, One shall fall! -Transformers Without giving away too much, I'll just say you're right on both counts.
The robo scorpions are called Girtarion Golems. Since you're familiar with the goddess Tiamat you may also have heard of her children being scorpion men. Thanks a lot for the comment, I hope you'll stick around for the coming trip until release! Hmm both huh? So the spirit of the Goddess is possessing some killer robot? Hmm, yeah, I remember that, that's why I thought those Scorpions where there.
Well yeah, I'll be sure to stick around then, those reptiles your getting from Matt Frank are pretty interesting so far, as is your cast of the Black Paw. So I will await seeing more. -- Optimus Prime: It's you and me, Megatron. Megatron: No, it's just me, Prime. Optimus Prime: At the end of this day, One shall stand, One shall fall! -Transformers Glad you like it! You might recall Tiamat was also mother of the gods before she spawned the scorpion men.. The gods will be shown soon!
Hmm, yes, and dragons and Demons and all manner of monsters if I recall right. But the Gods would be interesting to see, I do wonder if they will be Robots too, or more like traditional gods.
-- Optimus Prime: It's you and me, Megatron. Megatron: No, it's just me, Prime. Optimus Prime: At the end of this day, One shall stand, One shall fall! -Transformers Why be one when they can be BOTH
 They're a ways off, but we'll get to them! This week the focus is on the characters of The Black Paw team. Thanks for the comments, it's great to get feedback. We're still very early on in terms of development! Hmm, yes, so more like Tiamat then. I must admit not knowing too much about Babylonian mythology, nor having much enthusiasm for it for anything beyond Tiamat, not as much as other mythologies like the ones of Greece or Egypt. But I will tune in for more info on those of the Black Paw and everything like that.
-- Optimus Prime: It's you and me, Megatron. Megatron: No, it's just me, Prime. Optimus Prime: At the end of this day, One shall stand, One shall fall! -Transformers |
