Decided to put a little color to this villain, I am not convinced about the red though.

This made my heart smile.
 
Gah dam I say with this thread. Amazing art guys. With all these amazing drawings we should have an official GAF comic.

My favorite is Master Race.
 
Damn, that last Master Race drawing is like something out of one of those cutscenes in the middle of Metal Gear Solid 2... the artsy ones. Great art!

It's just superior man!

There can be only one hero.

And his name is GAFman.

Honestly I think Master Race would make a perfect archvillian. He's got access to incredible power, he's smart, he's egotistical as all hell and can inspire fanatical devotion in his followers.

He also regenerates himself into a new form every 18 months, doubling his power each time. >:(

The twist is that master race is a good guy.
a well intentioned extremist who only wants to free every gaffer(whether they like it or not) from their peasantry, wallowing around in that console filth and handheld riff raff, it's for their own good he says.
 
I know a lot of GAF want Master Race to be a good guy, but he just doesn't fit the profile, in fact I would make him like a megalomaniac fascist dictator who doesn't tolerate non PC users and tries to kill them. GAF Man is the protector and uses his ban hammer to no avail because Master Race has the support of EviLore and G+Man.
 
So how about this for a hero: Old GAFman (based on Gafs old design)

synopsis: His retro design features saw Old GAFman retired long ago, yet he still has powers that GAFman does not and can assist his young successor when needed with abilities such as:-

Search power: Old GAFman can use his search function to quickly discover any evildoer, fanboy or troll.
Animated Avatars: Old GAFman can summon powerful animated avatars to fight for him.
And if Old GAFman becomes sufficiently enraged he can activate his ultimate power and transform into Dino GAFman!.

However, all these powers place a massive strain on Old GAFman's body and will often result in frequent 500 internal server errors, rendering him unable to fight.

I can't really draw so no Paint example from me but if anyone likes the idea I think he would be a suitable character for the adventures of GAFman.
 
Wouldn't mind a Trophy/Achievement GAF crew >_>;

I mean (/self promotion), we are despised, yet we grow stronger through our trophies

Great Work by the way, kudos to all

awaiting Kittonwy kitty speak character lol, also a Constanza deals/moocher, and Wario64 Deals Galore
 
This thread is magical.

Gaf needs a redesigned main page with this comic as a weekly/biweekly segment on it. ASAP
And a comic written by Gary Witta

(Where's Gafman's other villian, Captain Animu?)
 
Shamelessly reposting this from the superhero thread: my idea for Dudebro

If someone else wants to work off of this concept, feel free, because my art skills are still pretty limited in the whole superhero regard.
 
Someone needs to compile all the concepts in this thread, for real.

I dig the variations of GAF Man, too; we have Golden Age GAF Man, super-manly GAF Man, and lithe GAF Man.

This is awesome!
 
Okay, scratch that, I like actual Dudebro better anyways :lol

I think either GAF-Man's pet cat or someone's pet cat needs to wear the Cat Helmet, though. It's only natural.
 
Wow, I can't believe I missed this thread. Awesome job Ryanardo and everyone else. These cracked me up and made me admire your art skills a ton. Some serious talent here. Keep it up!
 
Quick rundown of what we have so far.

Depictions/designs of GAF-Man.

I think Golden-Age GAF-Man should be a fairly anachronistic parody of Golden-Age/Silver-Age comics; maybe replace videogame references with vintage Atari/NES style references. Promotes smoking, misogyny, buying war bonds, and etc. In the fictional character publication history there should be a point where the publisher completely overhauled the character to what he is now. We could include the "edgy" 80s version, the depressing 90s version, etc.

Potential villains.

Spindashing probably shouldn't be on there, I realized after I had saved the images. Should possibly move him to allies. The Lurker really doesn't seem to fit in either villain or allies, but he seemed ominous enough to be put in the villain section.

Possible allies.

There are other designs that alter Gaborn into a villain, but the 'allies' list was kind of short and I've envisioned him as the reporter character.
I think there's some disagreement with how to work in Junior Members. This is just my idea. There does need to be a love interest though. GAF-Man shouldn't be as smooth as Superman though. He's a GAFfer, and should be fairly inept with women.
The sidekick character probably needs to be addressed. The GAF-Girl character seems logical, although it could conflict with his ineptitude with women. She could be played off as an annoying tagalong. We could even call her "Junior Member." We could make the sidekick a complete moron who always screws up and ends up out of commission in every story. We could parody the "Death in the Family" story to the extreme, or just confine her to the Golden-Age or something.

We probably need some more allies. The list is kind of short.
 
Gaf-man's girl needs to be called FriendZone. Will fight crime and listen to all your problems, but only awkward hand holding and platonic spooning for the caped crusader.

PRINT IT.

Unfortunately I have fuck-all talent for drawing, so all I can do is throw out ideas: Will GAFman ever be drawn unmasked?

Love it
 
Gaf Man needs a super villain such as Michael Pachter.

Also who was the lawyer who always try to have lawsuits on anything related to Video games? I forgot. He'll be a great super villain as well.
