    No more potential than that hamfisted Wakeup-USA trash you tried peddling a couple days ago. I used to think the guy that "drew" movie comics couldn't draw for shit, but you've just dethroned him. And by the looks of that bodybuilder above, you may have just dethroned Rob Leifeld as well.

    Why can I see the girls nipples looking both east and west? Also, that guy seems to have a horribly enlargened and deformed penis. Please look at some naked people.

    Holy christ that first picture is bad. Everything should be reworked. If that is the ad you hope to get people to purchase from, man, scrap it and start an all new one.

    The second image is actually rather cute and I could see people paying a reasonable fee for one of those.
    If you want to make a revenue stream out of this I've seen auctions on eBay for artists who draw people's MMO characters. Might want to look into drawing some of those. Your style would work well enough, especially for WoW or CoH where a more cartoon look fits the source material.

    2nd pic better. And the 3rd pic is so generic you could put ANYONE with brown hair and it would look similar.

    The first one isn't great, if you're going to do a muscle guy you really need to know anatomy back to front, even with a characature. The second one I like very much. The third one....I don't know what I think, it's nice but it doesn't look a whole lot like the guy in the pic.

    Dude think whatever you want. None of those cartoons look like the picture any more than any other generic dude.
    Big Shit you did 30 generic cartoons for some cops! Holy shit! You're the best fucking artist in here.
    You come in...you post stuff that is terrible in every shape, way and form..ask us what we think then get pissy when you don't like the answer.
    MagicToaster was correct in what he said. Your bodies are very bad.
    So we all must be wrong in saying your stuff is gerneric at best and really really bad at worst.

    Ok Lets take the cartoon that looks MOST like the pic it's next to. (The others aren't even close)
    Put it in with a few other bald guys and tell me you pic could be like any of these other guys. Add or subtract facial hair and earings...you drew A GENERIC BALD GUY.

    And if you think my portfolio isn't impressive then you're just being ignorant. I'm not the best artist in here, but to post this shit then dismiss my work shows you don't know shit pal.

    Oh, and it should be "You guys are so pathetically biased it's amusing." You're absolutely right though, we are totally biased against bullshit.

    You are correct on one thing: It is amusing. Seriously though, what do you expect? You tried to make a whole career out of ripping off Penny Arcade comics, sometimes panel for panel and now you're coming back to Penny Arcade trying to peddle political activism that deserves nothing more than a condescending pat on the head. And this, this really bland and just flat out bad artwork that hasn't improved much in the past 4 years.

    What did you seriously expect?

    I'm not jumping on the bandwagon here for the sake of jumping on the bandwagon. I was thinking this before I even read all the other comments, so take this as you will.

    You drawings really are generic. You need to find the specific qualities in peoples' faces that make them unique. You also really need to work on your anatomy.

    And, jesus, every time you draw a woman you don't have to draw her practically naked. And why just the breasts if you're giving her a transparent swimsuit? Why not draw her va-jay-jay, too? And that guy's shlong? Let's all wear transparent swimwear - it's what people do.

    posting your own work to one up him seems kind of like you're stooping to his level of calling us communists

    (actually... about that... i think you should watch this: http://www.videojug.com/film/how-to-behave-on-an-internet-forum pretty much the entire thing applies to you, mrbreen)

    so mrbreen, stop being a jackass, take the crits, your work is amateurish, deal with it and get better.

    I assume all the people here making the comparison to Movie Comics are also seeing that this guy's user name is 'mrbreen'? He's just here to stir up shit.

    If you are David Breen, man, then I'm amazed that your artwork has not improved in the years since you quit MC - at least, I can't see any evidence of it in these images. I appreciate you're going for a certain style, but you need to let it go. It doesn't work.

    Wow, I actually just looked at movie-comics. It was much better than these two recent projects, and I think in part because it mimics early Penny Arcade so well.
