Description When I was new-forged, Karras took me away from the foundry mother and said,
'Thou art a child of my endeavors. Follow me and thou shalt inherit the earth.'


"Just a little speedpaint before continuing the important stuff." *6 hours later* "Oops."

I didn't put 100% effort into this, but it was fun to make something with lots of details for a change.

This is an absolutely brilliant piece! I can't believe I haven't seen this yet...the Children of Karras are a chilling creation and your artwork captures that perfectly.

Thank you very much! I was pretty scared of these guys when I first encountered them in the game.

I really love the concept of this enemies. They are like ED-209 in a victorian age.

I love it. Really nice patterns and detail. Reminds me of the side-on angle you get in the cutscene before Soulforge. (RIP Viktoria).

Thank you! I used mostly only screenshots of the combat bot's in-game models as examples, but yeah, it reminds me of the cutscene as well. :'D Misty background and all...

omg, even though I absolutely hate everything Karras related, but you did such a great job on this one! D: Amazeballs!

Thanks!  I hate Karras too (okay, I like him as a character, but as a person? No. xD) but you know, I like to draw characters I don't care that much, because then I don't have any pressures whether they are going to look good or not.

 Thank you! I'm glad if you like it! Those Mechanist bots are pain to draw, their shape is so weird.

Oh, of course I love it! ^-^ Yeah, I know what you mean (had to go through the trials and tribulations to draw them myself once, haha!) XD

Una gran obra sobre estos robots casi no hay dibujos de ellos por aquí.

Por cierto generalmente el ojo esta del lado izquierdo pero aun así es una obra impresionante.

Sorry, I don't understand Spanish, so I had to use google translate. 

I drew the eye to the left side at first, but I flipped the picture several times and it just ended up to the right side. But thank you anyway!

*GASP* Ohhhhhhhhhhh YES!!!!!!!! Thank you so much for this! I don't see enough Children of Karras artwork! That's just beautiful too!

 Haha, thanks! To tell the truth, I somehow guessed you would like it...   But yeah, you're right, people rarely draw Children of Karras, which is a bit sad if you ask me.

Bazzkorg In reply to MyEpicRilla [2016-07-31 19:26:54 +0000 UTC]

Well thank you, and you were right! I don't know why there aren't more of them. They're one of the most unique characters in Thief The Metal Age. I don't see a lot of steampunk bots, but these guys are awesome. They're also more unique than other steampunk bots I've seen too.

MyEpicRilla In reply to Bazzkorg [2016-07-31 19:42:46 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, they are pretty unique. It's true that usually robots play the role of loyal servants and/or deadly soldiers of The Great Villain, but they tend to be quite generic. The Children of Karras are however a manifestation of Karras' pride; they have a golden face of Karras, and the voice of Karras... praising Karras! I also loved the fact that the Children of Karras had a major flaw of which the Mechanists were aware of (or at least I remember someone whining about their furnace and rain..?), but the robots speak about themselves as perfect creations (with voice of Karras!). It's like, Karras thinks he's so perfect and ingenious and in the Builder's favour that he doesn't think that such a major flaw is actually that remarkable after all.

Bazzkorg In reply to MyEpicRilla [2016-07-31 20:06:46 +0000 UTC]

Yeah they are. I agree how they are as you say. I think it's interesting Karras gave them his voice, clearly to make them more in his image I'm guessing. Yeah, they said they were the Holy Vessel and they were the perfect children for not being of sinful flesh. But yeah, they had flaws with energy consumption. Even Soulforge had a book that mentioned such things.
