WHY AM I THANKED IN SKULLGIRLS? or something Skullgirls is a video game. A fighting game. An indie game. It came out last year and they are currently working on new DLC. It has a cult following. Reason 1: Two of the lead artists on Skullgirls worked on the Scott Pilgrim game. Reason 2: The main character designer of Skullgirls, Alex Ahad, is someone I’ve known (IRL) for over ten years. I had him do a pinup (of Matthew Patel and the demon girls) in the back of Scott Pilgrim volume 3 in 2006. Reason 3: There was a hilarious time when the game was announced and the gaming blogs played a game of telephone where Alex was credited with a pinup in Scott Pilgrim and that changed to “worked on Scott Pilgrim” and then eventually became “creator of Scott Pilgrim”. He was embarrassed but it wasn’t his fault. I wasn’t mad. We all thought it was just kinda funny. Reason 4: I support Skullgirls! These people are my friends!! Friends thank friends in their credits!!!!

WHY AM I THANKED IN SKULLGIRLS?

or something

Skullgirls is a video game. A fighting game. An indie game. It came out last year and they are currently working on new DLC. It has a cult following.

Reason 1: Two of the lead artists on Skullgirls worked on the Scott Pilgrim game.

Reason 2: The main character designer of Skullgirls, Alex Ahad, is someone I’ve known (IRL) for over ten years. I had him do a pinup (of Matthew Patel and the demon girls) in the back of Scott Pilgrim volume 3 in 2006.

Reason 3: There was a hilarious time when the game was announced and the gaming blogs played a game of telephone where Alex was credited with a pinup in Scott Pilgrim and that changed to “worked on Scott Pilgrim” and then eventually became “creator of Scott Pilgrim”.

this is a screencap from an early version of the Scott Pilgrim movie trailer using a different font. I really liked this font but they never used it and i never found out what it was. EDIT BECAUSE PEOPLE KEEP MESSAGING ME ABOUT IT: This font is not Superfly. I used Superfly on the book covers and they used it in the final trailers and other materials — I know what fonts I used, you don’t have to tell me. This font has a similar weight, but if you look closely it has sharp edges (Superfly is rounded) and a distressed look.
