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.
You might notice that the collection is rather Gabe heavy until it gets to the stuff from the video game, where it becomes Tycho heavy. This is because we hatched the idea of playing these guys well before the game came out. Originally, I was going to be Gabe and he was going to be Tycho. We were planning to play against type you see. In the dynamic of our friendship, he's more of the Gabe and I'm more of the Tycho. I'm also more the one obsessed with making icons, so I generally make more of the character I'm planning to play because I'm selfish like that.
And yes, you're welcome to use the icons in that set. Either credit with a link to that flickr set or a link to the PA site.
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.)
Is it no longer online? D: I'm not really sure where to buy them, honestly. Since the card thing never really... lived on. Aha.
Tycho seems really hard to RP. Though I've heard the same thing from my cohort, iroll20s about Gabe so it might just be because he is so different from myself.
I've been RPing Gabe at the RP we're currently at longer than she's been RPing Tycho there. (It was her idea and we planned to app at the same time, but since she was busy at the time and I already was RPing there I decided just to app Gabe early.)
It's really fun and exciting to learn other people are PA fans because I am like, a gigantic fan. I really didn't know they were other PA RPers until I saw you guys mentioned somewhere! And I've been I guess flipping through your journal (since you guys do journal RPs) and I think you guys play them really well! You can tell you two are close (well, if you are) and I personally think you two are fantastic. :D
Ha! Yes, it seems your Tycho and myself are much the same, I post less frequently then my Gabe due to my schedule. :D
Close? I guess so. We hang out a lot online.
Somewhere there's a picture of me and him at the Penny Arcade in Disneyland, standing by the fortune telling machine. Which is germane to the first game as my icons might reveal.
The RP_Anon_meme, it's a meme usually filled with a lot of RP drama, but I just flip through it for fun and because you can learn a lot about the other RPs out there and whose known for being a really great RPer. (The RP I'm in is small so we're never mentioned.)
Someone pointed me being noted on thread about RPing webcomic characters, and someone mentioned you two at theskytides! Of course I was interested in the idea that there was another duo out there RPing Gabe and Tycho so I went and checked you two out!
Haha! That's pretty funny because when my Tycho and I both lived in Japan (we both were in military families) we went to Tokyo Disneyland and took pictures in front of the Penny Arcade! This was about 2, almost 3 years ago so neither of the games had even been even mentioned.
As for the UFS thing, thank you! I certainly will try that!
I think even Mike and Jerry took a picture of the two of them at the Penny Arcade on Main Street USA a few years ago. I think it's an unwritten rule. :D
Oh, and I'm not sure if the gallery is still online or not, I can't find it... But it was mentioned on the blog part of the site, so you might find it somewhere in there. Try doing a google search for "Penny Arcade Universal Fighting System".

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.
