Vaguely Caricature-ish Sketches: Penny Arcade Crew

So recently I've been fascinated by PATV (Penny Arcade TeleVision), seeing such a dynamic workplace and all the characters working there. I thought to myself, why would Jerry Holkins and Mike Krahulik choose to portray themselves as Gabe and Tycho when their real faces are so much more interesting?

It was at this point I decided to draw them. Then, having attached myself to the entire Penny Arcade crew I couldn't bring myself to leave anyone out. (That being said, they are in no particular order)
EDIT: There are a lot of people left out; PATV takes no real interest in introducing you to the entire crew in any comprehensive way.


The videos are not the best way to draw the crew for many reasons; one of which being entire members are not featured (Jeff). That and the camera is always close enough to make out skin pores, so you almost never see anyone's face as a whole.

I also cannot find one picture that shows the whole group in one shot - so names and faces are probably all over the place. I might change them as the series progresses.

It's a very interesting place. The PA Offices are the Pixar Offices of the comic world. Just as the Pixar Offices are the Valve Offices of the movie world, and the Valve Offices are the PA Offices of the game world.

I heartily recommend it.

PS: Brian - Damn your face. It defies rendition!
