Previously, we've gleefully reported on Foots' efforts at casting the Queen of Atlantis and installing her in her throne. While I have no doubt that the Queen could rule Atlantis effectively by herself, Foots has decided she should not rule alone. To that end, he has been busy casting a King to stand by her side. Although he's not quite finished creating the King, he has sent me some pretty cool, sneak-peak images of the process. Follow-up images to, um, follow.

Before checking out the exclusive photos, remember this: if you're interested in being named a Royal Guard of Atlantis -- and having your own image cast in concrete to forever guard the Royal Palace -- all you have to do is name the "earthly identities" of the King OR the Queen. Here's a hint: in "real life," the pair are married, and they own and operate a dive shop in the United States. I'll provide another clue tomorrow.

In the meantime, enjoy the photos!

Here's an image of the King in a state of mid-cast. Creepily, from this angle, it looks more like a corpse than a King, but I know Foots is a capable artist, so I'm sure it'll all come out beautifully.

And from another angle...

Here's a shot of Foots making some fine touches on the King.

I guess the other side needed touching-up, too.

And, finally, a close-up:

If you've gotten this far, and you have no idea who Foots is or what this project is all about, be sure to check out the rest of the photos of the Lost City of Atlantis. Additionally, listen to Divester's interview with Foots.
