TOPIC: TimeSplitters Picture Thread

@Big Freddy, saw your other characters as well. That Scourge Splitter looks incredible! Same goes for your head sprouter & undead priest. You're pretty damn talented, man!

Holy balls, that looks like Headsprouter if he were to appear in a fighting game. I love the twisted proportions!

Hey, that's one theory. I have another which I wrote on the Timesplitters wiki, too if you want to check it out there, on the Headsprouter page.

The Berzerker Splitter was made by Crow, right? And Crow headed the team which made the zombies in the mansion, which have Timesplitterlike ability to resist damage and control energy. The process of a Timesplitter's creation is further seen in the Freak, who flat out is half human half splitter. Now look at Headsprouter. And back at the Berzerker Splitter. And back to Headsprouter.

Notice any similarities? No eyes (however, the Berzerker seems to have artificial eyes on the top of its head), skinless forearms, "teeth bigger than its face", hooked claws, flesh surrounding its head and a collar-like lower neck area.

Look at this image to see old fleshyhead. img1.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb200803121832.../7/74/Berserker2.JPG

And then there's the fact Crow flat out has a lever which drops you into the mine with them. He must be pretty pleased with the result if they're his personal non-believer-eaters. Also his presence in the freak bot set, with his friend the freak, and the fact that they both wound up exploding on death.

And then there's high-pitched, sometimes gurgling, growling guttural sounds. Taken from the Insect Mutant, I know, but it's a similar noise to a Timesplitter. And then there's the fact that Headsprouter has the same ring and syllable count as Timesplitters...but those are some throwaway things I thought about, too. A lot less convincing than the other stuff.

I think this theory is as good as any, because nobody ever references the Headsprouters outside of, well...the line I used for my custom Forum message. There's a lot more similarities between Headsprouters and 'Splitters than there is evidence for the parasite theory. Oh, I just thought of something else. Headsprouter has nails in his elbows, this guy was built!

There's a lot of really fucked up and unexplained shit in the Mansion and below, though, so it could all be just coincidence, I mean, the worms, the beetles, Princess and the ghosts were never explained other than "Something terrible must have happened here!" Inseticks look like Reapers, though, so who knows...

Oh, and I drew this a year or two ago.

Your theory is certainly right, as headsprouter seem to be a "prototype" of Splitter Berserker, my theory was just about the way they turn a body into a Headsprouter (and, afterward, into a Berserker ?). Scourge Splitter also have his torso splitted in half, the same way as Headsprouter, but I'm not sure there is a link between these two...

unfortunately, I doubt the trans-red 1x1 with 4 studs on side actually exists. so it may not be possible to build this for real.

Here's my latest TimeSplitters related picture.

I made a gif of Headsprouter falling off of the Zeppelin, because let's face it, the animation is hilarious.



"Abandon threeeeaaaad!"

I commissioned an artist to draw Headsprouter for me a while ago, mostly on impulse. His "pay what you want" attitude despite being incredibly talented made me jump at the opportunity.

That was a few months ago at this point, he still hasn't finished it, however, he's a decent guy, so he offered to give me my money back and the work in progress line drawing. I insisted he keep one of the keys (TF2 was used for payment) and I'll give him the other two when it's done.

Has anyone ever tried throwing a mine on somebody in a custom story level?

This animation is hilarious.

yep

That one's weird as hell, probably some leftover from back when grenades were a separate weapon that you switched to, based on this old trailer.



There's a bunch of cut and changed things you can see in these trailers. I went through them once in a post in the Timesplitters facebook group, but I don't recall anybody caring too much!

The only bug I know is this one which I encountered when messing around with cheats in a splitscreen game. It's considerably less interesting.
