I love how he always has to state for everyone just how lazy and "pressed for time" he is by half-assing everything and then announcing it in case anybody was unclear. I was most active artistically when I had a steady job, so I'd really like to know what his excuse is. Lazy ass.
 
Y'know, I wonder if somebody could just ask him on his DA? On a burner account or something, I guess, but it is a pretty harmless question.

I actually think it's a lot less alarming than it might suggest. Quickly looking up images of actual knight armor and then the things GK drawn, the "black dot" isn't unique to the gold one alone nor to just a "full frontal" shot as even direct side shots have the ubiquitous dot.

What that dot is can be described best by what it isn't. Which is to say, it's actually poorly drawn negative space, its purpose meant to illustrate the gap between what I'm guessing are the side/hipskirting panels over the codpiece such that they can move on their jointed points. It just doesn't come across at all because GK can't fucking draw actual armor properly, which would involve more elaborate detailing and bulkier, overlaping panels.

Frankly, it's impossible for me to know how far off base he is, purely because I don't know what specific image of armor he's using as a basis as, naturally, every single suit of armor in real life is custom-built for its wearer if it's not a common militia armory item.

Look how lazy he got with the arms on the green and orange "Powerpuffs". So lazy that he didn't even draw them in. He just stuck in some vaugely hand-shaped, colour co-ordinated blobs to the guns. And I think the green one's octagon face was his attempt at doing something slightly original with the style, but didn't really know how best to go about it.

THOSE are supposed to be Powerpuffs? Couldn't tell, too shitty.
 
TopperHay said:
Technically, they're not. But his attempt to ape the style make it hard to think they're anything other than Powerpuff clones.

More specifically, he's aping only the style used for the PPG (and by extent the Roudyruff Boys), since IIRC they're the only characters in the show who don't have defined hands. Excluding those Amoeba idiots, but they weren't human to begin with so they at least have an excuse.

The armor has no functions of the sort. Seriously, how do you think the armor got its yellow color?

YES. THIS. It's what I've been saying all along. That'd be like me getting inspired by character designs on say, The Flintstones (which is true) but only ever drawing Fred and Barney in different colour swaps.

Indeed. PPG's had a load of great character designs but when people say they draw in "Powerpuff" style, it's almost always the same style as the three main characters. That's like saying you draw in "Dexter's Laboratory" style and only ever draw characters that look the same as Dexter, only colourswapped and with an added tragic backstory for the edge factor.
 
From what I have seen in GK comic called "Hero Tean".
I honestly read a few pages of it and what from I have seen in his comic. That the armor that he and his teammates use are crap or comparable to cardboard.


Also does any know if the GK is religious?

His religious references are all over the place. Sometimes he refers to god, sometimes the Maker from Dragon Age: Origins. I think he said somewhere that to him he knows there's something up there, he just doesn't refer to it consistently.

As far as morals go, he's not religious by a longshot.

Dont forget the Norse Gods... he has brought up Valhalla a few times and dragged those Gods kicking and screaming into his crappy Mary Sue world of plot errors. And his crazy Manifestos against "da trolls... hmmm yeah"

Besides Morals are for serfs not for his holiness kid fiddler the Golden.

He considers himself to be religiously Jedi... Someone took the census joke a little seriously...

What are you saying! Muhammed's favourite wife Aisha was 9 when he consummated their marriage.

His morals fit perfectly with organised religions.

As far back as his Powerpuff wiki puff-piece from 2008, Goldie Sue refers to his religion as "Jedi". Somewhere on his dA he rambles on about how if there's a higher power that's supposed to be omnipresent then that must mean we're all part of this god and it moves us in some way but we also shape it.

As Coster says, he has some belief in a higher power, but it's very nebulous and undefined.

He does seem very certain that people can be divided into "good" and "evil", to the extent that it's right to shoot down an "evil" person on sight, even if they're not being evil at that point.

He's incredibly childish, so his idea of god is probably himself with unlimited power. This is suggested by this "Christmas-themed" picture of his "legendary warrior" Mary Sue walking on water.

It's so redundant for his OP character to be a super solider/jedi/ powerpuff.

To the point that he might as well kill off the rest of his HT members.

Well I presume the rest of his team are normal human beings?
That is what I got from his HT team biography pages

"Leonidas, a great role model and badass"
Glad GK supports homosexual action roles. That's nice.

Jesus would be cooler if he did a jig on water.
