Art directors are going to be equally impressed by your "12 year old with a warez copy of Photoshop and a DA account" signature and the following explanation that you have a habit of not changing things purely out of spite.
:^: for professionalism on both accounts there.
You bastard! I don't have a Deviant Art account!
Ok, I might. I think I may have signed up for one like eight years ago, but I gave up on that pestilential place within something like 2 minutes. The servers... they were always just so slow.
On a more serious note, I don't have a habit of refusing to change things, I have worked on much over the years based on the help you people have given me. I certainly don't fucking come here for praise of my artistic abilities. I have other places for that. This is the place I come when I need honest critique.
There's just this one thing I reserve the right to ignore, and this makes some of you furious. And I get joy from that.

I think it looks fine, I just think you should stop being a turd. No one is crying about it, people are just suggesting something that would make your art better and you're being a petulant child about it. I don't see it as any different from anyone else childishly sulking at criticism.
The issue with sending physical media is that we're in the middle of an office move right now, so it has a very good chance go getting lost in the shuffle. Are there any other forumers out there that can assist?
There's some photo dudes here on the forum in the UK that might be able to help if they have a high enough megapixel camera and a good setup for proper lighting. I figure a minimum 12mp camera would be needed.
Preliminary lineart of my submission. I thought Tycho should have his Harry Potter wand because I thought the youtube comic was hilarious...
Tycho: "I better get this off here before someone sees it!"
6 BILLION views! HAHAHA
edit: Does Gabe look like he's holding a broken cardboard tube? That's what I was going for.

Yeah, I think the tube is recognizable, but the wand is not. I couldn't for the life of me figure out what it was until I read your explanation.
Yeah, I half-assed the wand first time around just to get placement, I am doing the final lineart right now, and I have hopefully increased the recognizability-ness of the wand.

I'll post this in the original post as well, but this is for the Penny Arcade Anniversary Book, and we're compiling a ton of really cool stuff into it, and we figured it would be great to have a piece of Fan Art in there as well. This is for you guys only.
Also, I won't be doing the judging.
THEY will.
Maybe I missed it going through the responses on this thread but what guarantee is there that these submissions will be viewed and judged by Jerry and Mike, and more importantly, that the winning submission will be published?

Because it's official and Khoo said so and also your face

It doesn't matter who he is; people get ripped off all the time by the most "trustworthy" people.
Well, Robert Khoo is the Director of Business Development for Penny-Arcade, he is an admin on the forums, another admin posted an announcement across the forums about this and a moderator of this particular sub-forum started this very thread.
Could you be more specific in what sort of verification you need?

Beer is the perfect lubricant for twisted and vile animal gibberish. I use it myself when the times are ripe and my need great.
Is that carrot cake soup in there? Good show sir.
Did you also ignore your mother when she told you not to wear your Spiderman pajamas to job interviews?
EDIT: If you bother replying to this, make it in the Chat thread so this thread stays on topic.

Still though good picture.
For paintings in progress, check out canvas and paints

...I can even hold onto the original until Child's Play rolls around again. ^_^
Now I need to start on my own piece. NO CLUE where to begin.
As I happen to think Oxfam is awesome, I'd be happy to take a photo of your artwork for the competition, lit with studio lighting, in the UK.

I have to say that Tam's has been my favorite so far, though I am totally blown away by basically everything posted so far.

Maybe if Tycho was wearing his Gryffindor scarf?

This whole "Penny Arcade" thing could easily be a scam
Can't argue with that. Or can I?
No, probably not.
