SqueeeSprites!
Saturday, November 14th, 2009 at 11:48 amSpritemaker General Penchaft has turned Gwynn into a sprite:

Not that the real Gwynn would consider taking on the No Life King, even for the sake of the best hat in this world and the next. Running the fuck away from the ancient, souped-up undead is the better part of valour. He is quite disturbed by how small his gun looks in this picture.
But a hat was still desired…specifically, something like this Australian military feathered slouch hat. After running through some options…

… a perfectly charming hat was supplied:

Many salaams to Penchaft! Now he’s all dressed up, he just needs a place to go. Like Beth’s house for bondage orgy Red Tantra Black Mass dinner.
And on the subject of squees — squees in advance for Where the Wild Things Are and The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus. I can’t wait (but I have to wait until late January for Wild Things! D:).
EDIT: Yippee, Penchaft made transparent backgrounds:

She has a sprites comic site here, with themes including FFVII, eating kittens, shinigami, ninjas, existentialism, and pants, with a page of delightful silliness for Hellsing fans.

Some slouch hats were a bit like that!

Wow, that almost looks like he’s trying for camouflage among, I don’t know, birds of paradise or a feather shop.

I suspect he’s hoping to be inconspicuous amongst Takarazuka’s butt-feathers.

Ahhhh soadorableomg.
“Running the fuck away from the ancient, souped-up undead is the better part of valour.”
I gotta agree with Gwynn on this one. …but hey, what if he didn’t KNOW Alucard was the ancient souped-up undead? (I suppose he still wouldn’t be after the hat, since it’s not his color.)

He might be after it to give to Beth. She might even have sent him on a quest along the lines of, “I’ll love you for more than three minutes if you bring me the hat of Alucard. And a shrubbery. Ni!”

If I’d taken a sip from my mocha two seconds earlier I would have spat it all over the screen. Heee shrubbery.

Sorry if this has doubleposted, my browser’s been acting up. Skillz up the Shiznuu!

I suppose Beth would look quite fetching in Alucard’s hat. (Hedgerow hat makes everyone look fetching, of course.)

Penny – spppltlol! Not doubleposted. That’s taking him back to his British mythic roots, that is!
Laurie – well, everyone looks better in garden clippings.
