Title: Need scans: Sentinels
Post by: captainspud on March 22, 2008, 09:08:08 PM
I need pictures of Sentinels and can't find many good ones (Google's almost entirely useless). Specifically, I'm looking for wide open shots with little to no obstruction by speech bubbles (or which can be chopped cleanly to avoid them). Covers and splashes are ideal, but even just wide panels are fine. The sentinels are the "stars" of the thing I'm doing, so shots of them getting torn to shreds are not ideal. ;) I'm particularly after shots that demonstrate the scale of them-- towering over things, or a giant fist beside someone, or whatever. Not really pick on that last point, but it'd be nice to have in a few of them.

I can basically use anything, but some stuff that would be particularly helpful:

-A sentinel spotting/scanning someone.
-A sentinel not getting completely owned in a fight
-A sentinel deploying nerve gas (or firing any other weapons, really)
-A command and control center (doesn't specifically need to be a Sentinel control center, I suppose-- as long as the people in it don't have prominent SHIELD or HYDRA logos, I can probably slide it in surreptitiously. ;) )
-Larry Trask (can't find a single picture of him as an adult) or any other people directly involved in the Sentinel program.

I've dug through my comic bins and haven't come up with much. Any help you kids can provide would be much appreciated. :)

Does the type of the sentinel matter to you at all? If no, I may have some images of the newer sentinels for you, but i'd need to look through several books to find em.

If you can wait until late Sunday or Monday, I can see what I've got in the back issues.

The thing I need them for is going live mid-day on Tuesday, and I can slot them in at the last minute if need be. Sun/Mon's fine. :)

Woo! Thanks a million, that filled in all but three of the pics I needed. :D

I still need:

1) A command center
2) Larry Trask
3) A sentinel deploying nerve gas

Having the field narrowed made the searching a little easier.  Unfortunately, I seem to be missing most of the good issues of Sentinel activity, as I'm either missing key issues, or it was stuff before I started picking up the title.  I even checked through a bunch of the What If?... issues, but nothing really good.  I was unable to find any images of Sentinels shooting gas.....eye beams, blasts, electricity, ice, even spears, yeah....but no gas.  As well, I was able to find no images at all of either Trask, even in TOHOTMU.  I did, however, come across a couple of images in Google of him: http://www.answers.com/topic/larry-trask-comics?cat=entertainment (http://www.answers.com/topic/larry-trask-comics?cat=entertainment), http://www.marvunapp.com/Appendix3/earthmagxavierxmen.htm (http://www.marvunapp.com/Appendix3/earthmagxavierxmen.htm) (scroll to almost the bottom for a face shot).

On an up-note, I think I've got a good shot for a command center, from the classic Days Of Future Past.

I've left a bit on each side of the panel for you to trim as you need.  They had a smaller, lower-res version of part of this panel in the Sentinel entry of TOHOTMU, with a little more arm showing, and without the head at the top of the panel, but I think this looks so much better, with all the detail.

YOu could probably watch old X-Men episodes on Youtube and freeze frame it.

Couldn't find any really good pictures, but will this do?
