A Penny Arcade strip you like and why

So he admits that it was a challenge for him, but still - the anatomy is completely fucked. I can’t imagine how that drawing will help anyone trying to draw that model.

Well, it’s meant to give inspiration, not show how it should be done. It might inspire a whole lot of people to think, “hell, I’m not a famous artist and I can draw a lot better than that!” and have a bash at it. If I had access to a scanner here, I might do so myself. :P

Forget Gabe’s art. Let’s talk about how the writing on Penny Arcade used to be better:

“Go Fluvians.” The complete lack of interest on Gabe’s face really sells it for me.

Jamie_Madigan · 2011-11-15T08:45:28.000Z

“Go Fluvians” is one of the best jokes they’ve ever done. I still say that sometimes when someone starts talking to me about sports.

I would like to see sketches of the woman holding the sword, provided by any posters in this thread who are interested. I myself like the sketch that Gabe made, and I suspect that I will like many of the sketches that posters provide. If you provide a sketch, please feel free to be liberal in your decisions, not limiting yourself to making an accurate sketch.

I would do this myself, only I’m pretty sure that my sketch would be really shitty, because I don’t practice this art.

Here’s my try, Dave.

Dave_Perkins · 2011-11-15T10:02:34.000Z

I love that you didn’t crop the sig!

salwon · 2011-11-15T11:04:05.000Z

Here’s mine, let me know what you think:

Go easy on me, I have a hard time drawing feet.

But seriously, he needs to start paying attention to how human bones move.

I’d start with “the fact that humans have bones.”

I guess they’re doing a Skyward Sword promo comic. On the first panel, it looks like someone put poor Link’s feet in a pencil sharpener.

I’d look it up but you didn’t link it, and I’m too lazy to google it.

Perform clicking motions here.

Personally, I think the art looks great.

Mike_O_Malley · 2011-11-15T12:33:43.000Z

Yay Salwon!

Dave_Perkins · 2011-11-15T12:40:13.000Z

I made the mistake of looking at the thread while waiting for my algebra class to take a quiz, and I barked out a laugh when I saw salwon’s picture… and everyone looked up at me. How am I supposed to explain? It would be impossible. Fortunately, they’ve all gone back to work.

Damnit! That image is bad enough in one thread.

The nose, naturlich.

Ha, no! Last panel “all the way”.

Is the new Mario game really easy or something?

Quitch · 2011-11-16T14:05:44.000Z

I’d guess that perhaps the game gives you some boost if it sees you struggling… or something. Still, it gave me a laugh, not only is Mario ashamed but clearly the costume is designed to enhance that shame.

Apparently the early levels are, but the later levels and the ‘after levels’ are supposed to be difficult.

Die five times, get invincible Tanooki suit (but pits still kill you). Die 10 times, get P-wing that skips the stage.
