Resizing did some weird things to the chess pieces, but whatever!

It looks like you resized it before flattening it.

.Tripwire. · April 2009

Thanks for the kind comments, dudes and dudes with vaginas!

Betel yours is looking great. Shit crawdaddio, yours too! Traditional painting is wild nuts.

There are too many good entries, Khoo. Why not make like Udon and release a PA Tribute artbook! (and I'm not just saying that so my piece will have a chance [but basically yeah that's why I'm saying it]).

No background. - or at best, pencil'd (maybe partially inked) background. no color in background though, it'll kill it.

I always like to think I knew better than to start so late, but here's my WIP for the deadline:

You win! I guess that's what happens when I try to do things on 3 hours of sleep.

I replaced it with a slightly better one.

Whoa the incredible shit just wont stop. Somebody get some Kaopectate.

The inclusion of the spider wearing the hat does it for me. My favourite PA strip.

your right it just looks a little too busy.

Yea, I will have to have my finished one up tomorrow around 3 am. I had a tooth pulled and can't get to my file which is "dun dun daaaaa" on my work computer. Booo.

Robert Khoo · April 2009

All of these WIPs are fantastic. Galactus - i can't wait to see yours finished.

Tam · April 2009

Aw man, all these great entries. I wish I could have finished mine.

hey man

when you can balance a full school schedule, work, familial obligations, and being incorrigibly lazy and still produce artwork, then you can get all sarcasmo up in my face

Mustang · April 2009

Don't worry tam, I didn't even finish a composition. I've got a circa 1969 Frank with blocked in colours and some random sketches.

Jintor · April 2009

You should have done what I did and not bothered to think about Composition whatsoever.

NotASenator · April 2009

I just got someone else to draw my idea.

The Reverend Dr Galactus · April 2009

I think.. I am done!

DrIanMalcolm · April 2009

That is awesome

Rolo · April 2009

Shame it's the wrong way though.

Lurk · April 2009

I can't tell who will win anymore. Everything is amazing in its own right.

.Tripwire. · April 2009

Nice Galactus!

I added a title to make the composition more rectangular. Thanks betel for giving me good tips!

-Update retracted by popular opinion!-

I guess I stayed up late for no reason. Rolo I don't think you know what "photoshop filters" are though.

Rolo · April 2009

Text is way too busy with the composition you have going there, Tripwire. It also looks like it got photoshop-filtered to all hell.

earthwormadam · April 2009

It doesn't look too bad but the image was already so close to perfection that adding anything would only hurt the piece overall. I dunno.

Jintor · April 2009

I prefered it without the text.

How very convenient for you!

Okay I think mine is as done as it's going to get.

Incidentally, this is a joint submission by me and some dude who got me to draw his idea. A collaborative effort, if you will.

(THE "DUDE" IS NOTACROOK JUST IN CASE YOU DID NOT UNDERSTAND ME)

Long story short, I'm getting my chicken soup on, it's Sunday afternoon, and Gabe's reading some Preacher in the Den, which is also the living room, the bathroom, and the foyer. I am interacting with pasta dough in what I think is a stern way, when I hear him say that he might like the soup better if it were, in fact, carrot cake. It hits us, hits us both, simultaneously, like a semi made out of lightning which is also a professional boxer. Carrot Cake Soup. You cube the carrot cake, some pieces have frosting and some don't, and you put a handful of these chunks into a bowl full of milk. So let's go do it. We'll do it later this week, he says. But I know that's the same as not doing it. Why not now, I say? I know a store where we can get all the stuff. You can just buy it, the way you can buy stuff in the household cleaners section and make a bomb big enough to kill God. The stuff is just lying around there and nobody's doing anything with it. It's not a crime to buy them separately, and what we do at home isn't any of their fucking business.

I think someone might have been following us as we pulled into the parking lot, we walked toward the grocery store and tried to keep the conversation natural. We certainly didn't discuss carrot cake or the soup one might make by cutting it into cubes and swimming islands of it in cold milk, pleasure islands, like you'd see in a magazine. At the bakery counter, a woman asks if she can help me, and I'm so nervous that as I'm pointing to the carrot cake behind the glass, my finger starts to tap in Morse Code that reads:

I AM ABOUT TO COMMIT A CRIME AGAINST GOD AND MAN STOP

And where is Gabe with that Goddamn milk? There he is, in the self-checkout. Idiot. There's cameras all over that thing, it's like a Goddamn surveillance tree. It doesn't take a genius to put two and two together. A red light flashes on, and off in my mind. At another checkstand, I pay with untraceable cash, assuring the woman that I will eat the cake by myself, without assistance from cows. I smirk. This woman has no idea that she's just sold me the trigger to a flavor gun. Carrot Cake Soup is like the taste of watching girls make out. It has an extraordinary power that oscillates between gentle and overwhelming, between light and dark, between pleasure and more pleasure. When it was over, I realized that I was panting. I was in possession of carnal knowledge. And I knew that, somehow, every taste beyond this point was in the service of the one that still lingered, waited, to remind me that nature has laws, and those that break them are criminals, and though they roam free enough the knowing will hold them, and keep them, until the last.
(CW)TB out.

brokecracker · April 2009

Final:

faded out the background a bit and also black and whited them. plus added a last panel joke. Eh?

Ivar · April 2009

I made carrot cake soup a while ago. It was delicious.
