The cleaners: Next to godliness page 9
Anyway this has got to be my favorite panel and it has one of my personal favorite poems that illustrates the scene nicely, The poem is No man is an island by John Donne and the illustration is by our own John Doe. We hope you enjoy, please vote, visit the site, leave comments and tell your friends. Much love and heres to hoping for faster updates.Ricky B.

Clockwork gods prologues script.
This is a piece of writing to go along a bit with the new art from the clockwork gods script. Enjoy it. Be critical or positive if you like, leave comments.
As the day rises over the hilled horizons, dawn just cracking through the graggy peaks, we get an eagle eyeed glimpse over a large mining town and in particular slowly focusing into the view of a small but well maintained building with smoke pouring out of it, the light still dim enough to see the orange reflection coming out the wood and brick windows of archimedes the gollen builder for the town of briarshaven. We move inside the building as we slowly see a large man taking a large hammer, moving the view over a series of tools from grips and vices to hmmersand mallets to weaponry , a mixture of modern steampunk and old fashioned flintlock guns, against the wall is a early model civil war chaingun mounted to what appears to be a thick armored arm, the crank visible in the side.
Sweat pours down the mans head as he hammers,klangs coming from the armored chest plates, part of the model built from the legs up, the arms lying on the table finished. a long thin mustache coming from his face, his head completely shaven as a smaller man works more intractely at another table as the frame shifts toward him We see placed in front of him a series of large cogs and wheels as well as screws and mesh wiring, while the large man hammers the body plating in the back, this small frail old man with whispy white hair and thick glasses manuevers piece after piece intricately into the proper spot, slowly he closes the item with a thud, our eyes not yet allowed to see what it is, as we slowly peer over his shoulder as he works.
We see that it is the head to the golem or clockwork man. We cut to the next page or scene if you will, as the body has been completedArchimedes: there now, thats how you do it, hopefully if all the clockwork is in the right order, all we have to do is give the old boy a twist and some juice once we put the head on. Danzberg: The large man who was hammering): Hopefully this won't end up like the first prototype we sent with the last group who ordered. The first moment it took damage and it went completely haywire.
The sprockets must have been loose on the thing somewhere or maybe the chemicals you used went bad. Archimedes looks up a bit fluffed: that....or maybe there was some bad or weak metal in it that allowed the hit to jigger up all the machinery, maybe if the blacksmith was working and not wooing the ladies all the time it wouldn't have happened. (He says this looking smarmily at danzberg)Danzberg: Thats beside the point, now lets get back to work and get this order out before these guys have to ship off( He says this as he takes the head from the much shorter archimedes placing it on top of the large metal body connecting it with the use of rods into holes as you hear a heavy snap and crack of the rods connecting). Besides you were the one running around with that old madam down at the tavern, you lech( He says this smiling as he looks at archimedes). Danzberg moves back in the frame the next frame opens up with archmiedes looking at the large robot, none f the sigils yet on it, a completely blank slate, nothing fancy or engravedDanzberg: There! all connected!
Now I guess comes the hard part for you huh old man Archimedes: I guess you got me there, danzy go and grab my chisel and my aclhemy bag off the work bench and let me see what I can do here for this big metal bastard to make sure he gets up and ticking.The next scene is much darker as archimedes is carefully chiseling the designs into the body and shoulders of the large mechanical man as danzberg calibrates the arms pushing one back in to make sure its fully connected, the large man sweating still as he carried the massive metal limb.
Archimedes begins to finish the scrollworking , the designs beautiful and intricate for such a beast of burden, archimedes obviously very proud of his work as he sets the tools down and opens a small bag setting out a bag of chemicals and material as he opens up a small bit of clay, rubbing it between his fingers and the spreading it out into a bowl(This can be shown with close integration shots of the fingers and materials) as he takes a large pure black hunk of coal, not smooth or jagged but somewhere in the middle and places it into the bowled shape as he begins to raise his sleeves, his own intricate tattoes, much like the scrollwork on the clockwork man. He takes a chemical with a large X branded on the thin tubing and maybe some latin or other unknown language(maybe the word emetane) and pours it in wit another vial marker neatly with the word sanguine on it in tiny careful marking) His tattoes begin to glow as he concntrates, sweat running down his head,the creatures obviously rare and not easy to create as you see pulsing from his own bodies alchemic magic merge with the liquids as he pours, maybe almost like electric trickling. the liguid merges as the stone begins to smoke and billow a thick cloud of steam and smoke and begins to glow a faint blue and red color as archimedes hurriedly grabs it, he opens the ornate front hatch in the center of the creatures chest and places it in th middlee and shuts it very quickly.
Danzberg: Is it done?Archimedes looks very tired and smiles and nods: I must do a few more things and we must start the creature before the energy builds up and he must release it. Danzberg takes a large key and sets it against the creatures back, against a small intricate design and slides it in turning it as the creatures eyes begin to open as he wakes, alive as a man made construct can be, his arm slits opening as steam spills out of his arms, not much but enough to make the reader realize that the stone is powering him as is the clockworking.
Danzberg: So what will you call this model huh archy? nothing as dreadful as the last one I hope. The iron man, what a foolish name and the red copper and gold plating set us back quite a bit.Danzberg looks at archimedes touches his creation silencing himself nd looking at the almost religious experience of creator and creation, his creation looking back at him in a reverse almost of the painting of the sistine chapel of birth of man, his hand touching his creations. The next panel he climbs behind the creature on a small portable stool and reaches up tapping the words Model: ADAM Series: EMET I. The words shown to the reader as a very small nod to our own legend as archimedes then gets down and looks up at the creature Archimedes: Adam I think is a fitting name, simple and memorable.Adam moves slowly as the panel fades out following his large and small creators to his fate, as well as the fate of those who will teach him about his new life.
