September Vote Incentive
Ok something a little different this time. I recently discovered Flaky Pastry… well that’s not true, I found it a long time ago and added it to my RSS feeds, but never found the time to run through the archive. Well I finally managed it a few weeks ago and it’s become one of my favorite webcomics. I think if you enjoy Grrl Power you’d enjoy Flaky Pastry. It’s humor driven and it’s set in a fun mashup fantasy world, you know, “basically D&D but not actually D&D, and also there are sometimes guns and robots.”
Anyway, I wanted to do some fanart, but the last two vote incentives I’ve done were commissions by other people so I decided to combine the two and also make it a wallpaper, only I obviously haven’t quite finished it yet so I’ll show you guys the work in progress. I’ll update the vote incentive as I get a chance to work on it this month.
In the meantime, check out Flaky Pastry, and since I feel weird using fanart of a character from another comic as a vote incentive, if you enjoy it, throw them a vote as well.
Updated with the inked version. Remember the final version will be wallpaper sized, so you’ll get a big detailed version of it by the end of the month.
I’m not trying to drag this out, it’s just taking longer to get to finishing this than I had hoped. Here’s the foreground colors, hopefully I’ll have it finished, probably not this week but maybe mid October?
FP is a crazy good comic. ;)
Holy cow! I voted before reading this bit and thought – whoa! Isn’t that… Zintiel? Nahhh… but it looks just like… The grin… Then came back here, and yup!
Excellent likeness sir! Not sure who I’d back in that match-up, though.
like :)
And just in case you guys don’t know Spinnerette, which is very much in the line of Grrl Power:

I hope he know about spinnerette after all there advertisement of it on this website.
Talk about Multitasking. Great sword, SMG, and casting something in your spare hand? Gotta be a Magus with the Gun proficiency feats.
I’m a little iffy on the two-hander personally, but I’m not the artist. Either way Great pic Dave!
Well, I mean it is BS. 4 armed creatures can wield a two hander as though it were a one hander for most effects relating to stuff like that. I just like the sword for the design. Either way. D&D Geek. Sorry. XD
I can only imagine there would be a whole different school of techniques to weild a two-handed weapon with two left arms.
It’s actually a 4 handed sword. :)
Yea when i first saw that i thought it looked like Zintiel.
I used to read this one a lot until it took an intermission. Glad to see it’s going again!
Is that Maxima’s gun in Dabbler’s lower right hand? The one with the inhuman recoil?
No, I’m not well practiced at drawing guns, so unless I’m drawing a real gun or at least something that I have a visual reference for, they’ll probably all look kind of samey. It’s like someone who learned to draw helmets by looking at Samurai helmets – all the helmets he draw look rather inspired by Samurai helmets. Or all the robot/armor heads look a lot like Gundam heads, or whatever. Yes I’m talking about me.
Flaky pastry was one of the first webcomics I started reading and I must say the only disapiontment I have with it is that the neighbor doesn’t have enough air time.
He has covert operative training, the head of a Mage order and a time traveller… wait am I describing the neighbor or The Doctor?
*is the head
Yea! Colour!
A friend of mine read the comic first, and wondered aloud if Sydney was talking about herself.
…I went: “pregnant? Wow, so many questions!!
Not least would be, how did the father manage to take himself seriously during the act while having to wear clumsy fake wolverine claws??”
True story.
I realize with the string of things that Sydney suggests that one could come to the conclusion that she was talking about herself but she isn’t. I may have to reword that exchange just a bit.
Odd … I didn’t take it that Sydney might be talking about herself … sounded more hypothetical to me. Well, until she said “this one makes me fly!” LOL
Ah, even better in color. Okay I’m slow, but Dabbler is giving a whole new take on the concept of a “two-handed”. Not even adding her awesome strength, the leverage she could impart to a downward or full swing of that weapon would be incredable. Yeah, yeah I’m letting my D&D/SCA geekiness get away. Ahem, now if you could have Dabbler and Zintiel kiss and make up…uh I’d be happy to volunteer to be the ‘go-between’ on the negotiations.
Given Zintiel’s nature, I’d assume the actual fight would devolve into something way sexier, but I didn’t want to assume that unless Felix said it was ok, but I can’t figure out any way to contact him.
Oh, and actually her sword is technically a 4 hander, which is why the handle is so long, but obviously she has a number of ways that she can actually wield it.
MY EYES! I’m blinded by the awesomeness!
Awesome in color for certain. I suspect that such a fight might be a rather drawn-out affair … I don’t see either of them getting beat down any time soon.
And Sweden has never before faced such serious threats to its internal security, including both terrorism and serious organised crime.
Yes, I’m letting my geekiness for D&D and SCA get away. Now, if only you could get Zintiel and Dabbler to have a kiss and make up.I would be pleased to offer to act as the negotiations’ “go-between.”
