Olympic thug skating

My entry for the city of heroes January Fan art competition.

The theme was the Olympics. I tweaked thing to represent an evil perpspective. Instead of competitive excellence, everything reflects domination. The Olympic chains resemble chains. The banners on the left spell out the anti-life equation from DC comics--which was a way of gaining absolute control over others. The figures are skating towards a finish line that is marked by a skeletal judge--death or even undeath being another type of control. The winner is the humble clockwork cog, a creature that never possessed any type of free will to begin with.
