    If he pulls this off, will he become Robert Coup, the notorious webcomic villain?

    It doesn't matter who he is; people get ripped off all the time by the most "trustworthy" people.


    Because I pinky-swear.

    In retrospect, it IS only fan art so nobody stands to lose anything from it. I was just looking for an answer because I didn't know.

    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?

    That answer there is really all I asked for, thank you.

    Robert's word is all the "guarantee" you're going to get. If that isn't good enough for you, I heartily recommend that you do not enter the competition.

    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.

    Maybe if Tycho was wearing his Gryffindor scarf?

    20051116h.jpg

    Yeah, I realized that last night as well. Hopefully I will have the final inks (including scarf and decent wand) done this weekend. Here's hoping :)
    Thanks for pointing it out, btw.

    I just noticed that you never see Tycho's wand in that comic.

    It's an implied wand.

    But the real wand ... I found instructions on how to make a Harry Potter wand out of rolled up newspaper, decorators caulk and paint. It was very pretty. Maybe Tycho might like one!

    Hrmmm, it's good Beavs but I think you could've pushed yourself a bit harder. You obviously already know that, but I'll point it out anyway because I'm a wanker.

    You achieved a remarkable 3D-look on Twisp, and still kept it nice and stylized. I like it.

    Gabe's left knee (our right) is too far down. I noticed it in the early sketch, but I figured you would fix it before laying down the D-Inks.

    You are totally right now that someone else has pointed it out, I see it. Luckily it's digital "ink" :)

    edit: Jesus Christ, I just realized Gabe doesn't have eyebrows either. Man, I'm fallin' down on the job.

    Here are some pencils of my renditions of the dynamic duo. I'm trying to get comfortable with drawing them in my style and yet trying not to stray too far from the spirit of the strip. Once I'm comfortable with drawing them, I'll start on my entries.

    It still needs a BG with stuff, which I was really stupid not to put in at the pencils stage, because now I'm terrified of screwing the perspective up.

    Also I was considering possibly throwing in Precipice of Darkness Tycho in there somewhere maybe.
