0001: And So It Begins…

0001: And So It Begins…

Welcome to the Great Republic!

Clockworks is a steampunk/fantasy story, set in a world of giant stompy robots, outlawed magic, forgotten and dangerous old gods, ether driven mad science, and goggle wearing heroes who travel the world in search of danger and adventure.

The comic will update every Tuesday and Thursday.  This is a finite story, and once it’s done I will move on to a different project.  Right now I see this story taking two or three years to finish, maybe a bit longer.

The goal is to balance action, humor, and drama.  Jokes are important, but my main goal here is to tell a story.

See you on Thursday for the second part of our thrilling adventure!

    Lookin’ very cool and very interesting. Will defintely be watching/reading this one (thank Rod for LJ so that I will know when you update! :o ))

  2. Craig Oxbrow says:

    Looking at the tags, Kathunk is a character’s name? Please tell me Kathunk is a character’s name.

  3. Shawn says:

    Sadly, Kathunk is not a character’s name, see panel 2. Thursday’s comic will have “ting!” as a tag. I think I’m going to tag all the onomatopoeia that comes up in the comic, just to amuse myself.

  4. Craig Oxbrow says:

    Now I have to put a giant robot called Kathunk in something.

  5. Shawn says:

    hmm… Kathunk the giant robot could make an appearance at some point.

  6. Stargazer says:

    Wuhuu this was worth waiting for, and will hopefully fill the void Chainmail Bikini left behind.

  7. Jimmy says:

    Now, I’m in regardless, and this may just be on my end… But it seems the comic is below like a full screen length of whatever the hell that all is. Could this change?

  8. Jimmy says:

    And there it goes, naturally, disregard the above :P

  9. Eva says:

    I’ll look forward to seeing which one’s Eva. :)

    I think it should be pretty obvious, also that is the best Wavatar ever.

    The first comic is actually twice the size the typical strip will be, 750×500. I wanted the extra space to really show off the heroes as they bust in. There will occasionally be double sized strips though, when the art or story flow demands it. I know there’s one next week already.

    Heard about you on The Becoming – which is backwards from most, as there are a lot of people on Becoming who heard about it from here. But why be normal, right? So I thought I’d come along and check it out – from the description and all this sounds pretty nifty! So … off I go to read the archives – I tend to be a bit silly with my comments, so I hope you don’t mind my nonsense! :-)
