Today we continue our look at the official Critical Hit Characters Designs by our good friend Thomas Perkins.
You may remember Thomas Perkins from his excellent work on Ben 10, Avengers: Earth’s Mightiest Heroes, Green Lantern, and of course, our Hero History of Kablamakus! Thomas approached us quite a while ago about providing art, and over the last couple of years, we’ve honed everything down to where we are happy to show off the first official character designs to you, our faithful Spoilerites and Critites.
All this week, we introduce a character and design to you. The second character introduced in the Critical Hit Universe was the three-quarter Orc, Torq.
Yup the comment section is now open…
If you didn’t get to see Orem, check out that awesome image, here.
Awesome. Stuff.
Wow. Just wow. These are awesome.
~Mental note: add money for t-shirts to budget~
FUNNEL CAKES OR DEATH!
Wow! He looks really scary! Dear God, why do people even mess with them? His armor looks amazing!
:)
To be fair, PEOPLE rarely mess with them.
Now i want an animated serie AND action figures
This would make an awesome Heavy Metal cover.
Yet another awesome image. Your gonna need posters, lunch boxes with the thermos, flame throwers, beach towels….
Just Sensational – Is it me or have I seen Torq’s face on a bottle before?
It looks like Torq stole Thor’s armor
Thorq?
OMG! Awesome.
Not my vision of Torq, but awesome nontheless.
Gonna hit it with an axe. Ugh…. Wat
This is BREED, by Jim Starlin.
I have totally forgotten that comic…. dang…
Mayhap a Reboot is in order…. ;)
Well, that was rude…
A jest, lad.
We don’t allow humor here!!! :)
aaaaiiiiiieeeeeeeeee…….
True. The humor is saved for the podcast in order to mess with the DM ;)
did you guys get Glagh and the other party members done too? or just the main 4?
The main 4 being… Torq, Orem, Randus and… Smith? or Ket? I want to see them both. And Trelle as well of course!
i assume by main four you mean: trelle, trelle’s kukri, trelle’s scimitar and trelle’s bow.
Well my guess is that she is so Awesome that Trelle will be getting a whole week of posts!!
This looks so good. It just feels right. Knowing where the Armor came from…it just fits. Its screams High Tech Magic. Looks great.
I attack the darkness!
Bad-ass, just bad-ass.
When I heard “Thomas Perkins envisioning Critical Hit Characters” this is exactly what I thought Torq would look like. For some reason I expected more bells and whistles on the axe though. Beautiful work, Mr. Perkins. I can’t wait to see the rest of the gang.
Wow..this looks fantastic! I can’t wait for the movie.
Wait, wasn’t one of Torq’s horns broken part way off? Or am I remembering wrong?
Stormwind Brokenhorn had a broken horn…
Oh, I like this! “My” Torq has shorter horns, but I’m not complaining. Something about the image reminds me indirectly of the Return Of Bruce Wayne. Maybe the Lovecraftian Thing From Beyond and the chunky Kirby-love in the art? Great stuff!
He looks so majestic, it makes what comes out of his mouth that much funnier.
Caption: Torq attacks the darkness
YEAH HE DOES! ;)
Correction, Torq attacks anything he wants
LOVE!
I’m so making it a requirement in any future adventuring group to have at least one astounding artist to conceptualize our chars. This is just wonderful, and a great idea, guys!
Kind of ruins the theater of my mind because this is not what I see when it comes to Torq. This seems way to cartoon styled for me. When I think of Torq I see him as much more rugged, like you would find in one of the D&D books. Now this reminds me of the illustrations in the Players Strategy Guide and something you would find in the comic book shop. Now I have bought my D&D books from comic book shops, yet this just seems wrong because he looks like Colossus from X Men and not Torq in his reactive armor.
I get that he is in the magic technology, but this seems like something more from a futuristic science fiction game. Don’t get me wrong, this is an illustration of high quality. It is not aesthetically pleasing to me in relation to the character that I know, love, and have illustrated in my mind saying, “Uh what?”
