Liverandbacon Posted June 2, 2009 Share Posted June 2, 2009 Note: In order to make this thread easier for 56k people to view, I'd prefer it if people put their pictures in hidden tags, so that people can select what to load, making the page load more gradually. Also, if you can't view an image (too big, etc.), just right-click to properties, and visit the page where it is originally. I was looking through these forums, and I noticed a singular lack of epic pictures. By epic, I mean not the slang definition (awesome, etc.), I mean pictures of things on a grand scale or containing something of heroic proportions (which generally end up being awesome anyway). Though honestly, if there's a picture so awesome you're dying to share it, you might as well. I won't object. To get us started, I'll post some. Star Wars has its share of epic (note the AT-ATs' sizes in comparison to these): Show spoiler (hidden content - requires Javascript to show) Space itself is epic: Show spoiler (hidden content - requires Javascript to show) And no epic picture thread would be complete without steampunk or giant monsters, so here's a picture with a combination of both: Show spoiler (hidden content - requires Javascript to show) So, anyone else got some?

shukkoku Posted June 3, 2009 Share Posted June 3, 2009 I think those giant walkers need a little more firepower, I'll bet they have hidden weapons and such but i look and see the quad-blaster and single cannon I just think Dang they could bolster so much weaponry on there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Liverandbacon Posted June 3, 2009 Author Share Posted June 3, 2009 Show spoiler (hidden content - requires Javascript to show) I'm speechless. I almost feel as if it's pointless to continue this thread, since you've gone and one-upped anything that can possibly be posted. In order to make this OT, a picture (retrofuturistic airships?

Alkonium Posted June 3, 2009 Share Posted June 3, 2009 Also, in Liverandbacon's first picture, what is the name of those massive six-legged walkers? I can't find any mention of them on Wookieepedia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't find any mention of them on Wookieepedia. I'm pretty sure the artist just made them up. However, I may be completely wrong, so if anyone else knows, please tell. I just call them "Oh no, we're gonna need some much longer snowspeeder tow cables". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salzella Posted June 3, 2009 Share Posted June 3, 2009 I suspect the topic creator frequents deviantART - am i right? i recognise all three pictures and they are indeed epic. the creator of the first in particular is one of my favourite artists on the sight, his paintings are amazing. i'll dig some epic pictures up in a bit.

TSR Posted June 3, 2009 Share Posted June 3, 2009 Look closer, there are dual barreled turrets in front of the front legs, a turret on the forward haunches, and a weapon emplacement in the lower rear. What also looks like some Anti-air turets on it's top as well. Epic picture. Do want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Astrotoy7 Posted June 10, 2009 Share Posted June 10, 2009 The hidden tags arent entirely helpful - *all* the images still are loading away in the background. (Ive only tested this in FF) Anyway, here's few from me - The first 3 are 'Star Warsy' - as per the thread theme so far 1. Martha StewartRhett and Yoda fans in general should like this one Show spoiler (hidden content - requires Javascript to show) 2. The Battle of Coruscant was a jaw dropping spectacle in ROTS, especially that bit where the jedi starfighters loop around the Republic Destroyer after the opening crawl... phaw ! Show spoiler (hidden content - requires Javascript to show) 3. Just a potrait shot, but epic in sybolism. Anakin was never on the Bridge of the Tantive IV in ROTS, but someone though it'd be cool to take a pic of the future Vader in the spot where he would make his famous entrance in SW ANH. Love this pic Show spoiler (hidden content - requires Javascript to show) The last is a bit of mildly unsettling humour - 4. Given the liberal use of the 'V' word in recent podcasts, I have no compunction in putting this here now Truly an epic effort by mum and dad...
