I originally drew this as part of my warmup routine before doing the latest comic. I really liked it, so I gave it the full treatment. I'll have to do Tycho as well soon.
Mike Krahulik's style has always been a pretty big influence, so I guess you could say this is my little homage to him.
Thank you! His style, along with Scott Kurtz of PVP are two of my biggest influences. Whenever I try to draw Gabe and Tycho, they look decent, but not always how I want them to turn out. This one was the exception. :3
Gabe's my favourite character in PA. I love the occasional moments when he has weird turns...like that "Spiderman, you're my hero" dream.
