Here’s To…
A new year… I’m starting things off early with this poster of an upcoming character. And I’m starting it off early with a contest. For all of you who have been checking in to see what I’ve been posting in this blog to keep you in the know as to the status of the web comic: whosoever can accurately name the above character shall be granted a commission of their choice. I hope this makes up for posting a poster instead of a strip for Thursday. Let the games, and the new year, begin! And may it be better than last year!
Father Time?
Happy new year! Here’s to 2012, and the imminent arrival of our Mayan overlords!
Hmmm. He has characteristics of both Baby New Year and Death/the Grim Reaper… I also checked some googling to cross reference relations between death and the new year… He doesn’t look like he could be Janus, so my guess is that this is Chronos.
Ooooo, this is fun :)! I will give you our basic formula though and am going to repost this in the picture section of the poster.
Formula = 2 well known stories from any culture mashed together in some way shape or form to create a strange chimera of a story. Sometimes it is merely 1 character mashed into 2, other times it’s 1 character in another’s story setting. In THIS case the character is 2-3 story figures (depending on what versions of the story you want to read) mashed into one. One of these characters has both a modern version and a version older than Dorothy.
Those are the only hints I’m going to give for now. Wisknort asked a good question on the picture comments. I’m going to reply to him directly. So go check out the reply!
Remember we are looking for the FIRST perfect guess of this character’s name and it is a VERY SPECIFIC name which you will all giggle at :).
Time Reaper?
