I just got this over from SSMB: A reply to one of Ken's tweets that said this: "I'm going to go to comic con and stab you to death" He wasn't joking either. His name is Bigbossdog. He got suspended shortly after. I'm sure a few of us have joked about killing Penders. We were never serious about it.
CONFIRMED: KEN PENDERS NOW RISKING HIS LIFE TO BRING YOU HIS MASTER WORKS (on a serious note, death threats aren't cool, kids.) Not that it's an issue that should be given any attention, but was there even any reason for it? Angry fan of original Archie sonic? Also apparently this isn't the first time it's happened according to the SSMB thread. Wow.
It's Humanity, you always get someone who wants to kill someone else. It's merely a matter of when and why.
https://twitter.com/KenPenders/status/1020785172512292864 Apparently it's totally cool to copy official artwork at a convention and sell it it to kids. I've seen people kicked out of artists alleys for doing this lol
He says he was seen drawing it without reference and that he can recreate anything. Though it's blatantly Sonic Chronicles artwork from the red on his wrists and ankles: they're totally solid, when Shadow has indents on them in official artwork.
Yeah, that is definitely a trace. The art's nowhere near as horrifying as if Penders drew it himself.
This thread has been dead for way too long, despite a wealth of new information. I have therefore signed up for this forum for the very purpose of bringing it back to life. Unfortunately, going back all the way to last July on Penders' twitter is a herculean task, considering how much he tweets. Between his tweets about how meritocracy is a myth and how the Captain Marvel movie didn't credit certain artists properly, is this: Now that Penders is finally free from Archie's shackles, we will at last learn how Knuckles' Knox's extended family in the Dark Legion CyberDark Colony would have made short work of Robotnik, in any incarnation. Coming soon in 2012! Please friends, help me mine this here gold! We've got months to catch up on!
HASDASFasfASDASasfADASDFASDFADFASDFASDFASDF AHGAHAGAHAGAGHASDFGHASD SDFSDFAFAN NGNGFNG I didn't think Ken Penders could shock me any more, but, well, here we are EDIT: it just keeps going EDIT 2: WHAT
on one hand no one should bother giving penders the light of day anymore. on the other hand i think penders has got some real issues to work out, because this is a pretty warped way of screwing over one of the few legitimate ships he actually supported himself
Even JK Rowling, with her current Twitter barbiturate of behind-the-scenes scoops of bawdy Harry Potter lore, would be saying he went beyond the pale. (Also gotta love how he legit started trending on Twitter thanks to his latest escapades.)
Poor Sally, to lose your virginity to someone quick on the draw. I guess Sonic wouldn't be much better in that department either.
There are people who will still defend Penders without a shred of irony, even after this. And for some reason, that sounds even worse.
