HEY THERE~ My best friend and I are both fellow PA RPers on livejournal, and I was wondering where you get the polished art for your icons from? I've made about 300 comic icons so far (yes, really) but it's terribly difficult to find polished work! At least for me, anyway. We actually don't RP the duo from the game, but rather from the comic. Though as soon as we play the game we may very well app them at a serious RP! Anyway, yes. Ahah, I feel so awkward asking this! Thank you!
Most of the art used for both my and punching_devils icons are either from the game itself or from promotional images. I snapped the screen shots myself playing the second game on the computer. Though we each use a couple of icons that come from art that was created for a Penny Arcade themed expansion of the Universal Fighting System card game.
You can see my modest collection here. The first four rows or so are UFS game art, then a bunch of stuff from the comics and finally stuff I made using promotional stuff from the video game

Thank you for the link! All my icons so far are comic icons. I've been iconing starting from newest to oldest I'm up to 2004. Why I am making these icons I do not know because I'm not really sure when 500 PA icons will come in handy. Regardless I'm making them anyway.
Neither of us have played the game, but seeing you two RPing the game versions has actually inspired me to play it and maybe RP it! I've been intending to play the game for awhile, but I don't think I want to without my compadre. We're the type to play certain games together, and this is terribly unfortunate since we live in two different states.
Of our friendship I am the Gabe, and she is the Tycho. Honestly, I don't think I could play Tycho due to his extensive vocabulary and unique way of writing, So I'm really jealous. I'm the one obsessed with making icons but on occasion she'll make one or two of them (Only for herself, mind you.)

You're very welcome. :)
I must admit to a bit of performance anxiety when I go to write Tycho. But once I get rolling it makes me pretty happy.
