[Demonic P-Bot]

The story seems a bit convoluted.

Almost to the point where I feel a large majority of audiences might dismiss the idea.

That is unless there's nothing really deep about Tom's explanation, just that it sounds absurd.

It's all in the presentation and acting.

When I saw this...my first impression was a Virus somehow invaded P-Bot's circuitry through spam of the portal, causing him to disembowel himself (in a way only robots can), and essentially turning him into a Zombie-Bot.

It almost seems more "fearful" if his goggles suddenly lit up and his eyes open up and turned into jaws.

BUT....that's just my interpretation.

As it is right now...it doesn't strike fear as the familiarity of P-Bot's face still retains his innocence.

Try having his "goggles" become his eyes, and his face somehow rips open and forms MASSIVE TEETH!

MindChamber responds:

Ok. well the reason Pbots face remained intact is to have some sort of semblance to the original character. Its supposed to be creepy granted but its also supposed to be funny. If a demonic mickey Mouse toy was chasing you down a hallway, it wouldn't be nearly as ridiculous if Mikey himself wasn't somewhat identifiable. as for the story being convoluted. I disagree. It has a plot device and setup for the action. and that's it. that's all you really need for a horror or action movie. I would agree it being convoluted if say I began with a back story of the Key, or why Tom has it, or how he figured out how to use it as a power source.

the fact that Tom states he is using a demonic entity as an alternative power source should be enough for you to conclude that this is an absurd story.

[Painted Gold]

One of the most classic Bond scenes.

Death by Gold.

Man those were the days of espionage movies.

Great painting

You capture lighting well.

beastkid7 responds:

Death by gold indeed. Yes! I chose Goldfinger out of all the other James Bond movies cause I had the most memories from this one ...it was the most memorable to me. -Odd job - Dead gold lady - Lazer scene "do you expect me to talk?" "No Mr. Bond I expect you to die."

[Red Baron]

It indeed a different image of RB...

He seems almost like...more of a hero than a maniac.

A stoic individual - silent in the face of arrogance and anger.

Not his true character but it's cool.

The painted look as Mindchamber puts it, has a real "dream-esque" feel to it.

Good job Beast boy.

beastkid7 responds:

Glad you like it. -lol yeah- Brutal isn't really my specialty.

[Self Portrait]

Cute - you gave yourself Dexter eyes

Kinda like how I gave myself "Brock" eyes.

Turtle neck sweaters and glasses.

A real intellectual.

PixelCake responds:

Well they are Mandark-shaped glasses :)

[red baron]

I was wondering when you were going to post this.

Still waiting on the original to be delivered but hey, it takes a while right!?
Damn postal service.

Your old school style from the humble paper with mild tweaks on the computer makes your art favorable and valuable.

BECAUSE! This is how all artists should begin, with a paper and pencil.

Bravo dude.

dommi-fresh responds:

hopefully it will get to you A-OK message me when it arrives buddy.

[Yamato Nadeshiko]

They say Japanese steel is strong

But DAMN, that girl's gonna melt that sword!

Uber Hotness and amazing use of the rising sun logo that is most heinously Japan's greatest in achievements.

EXCELLENT!

BizarroJoe responds:

HAGANE NO ONANI JUTSU!!!
(That's how I like it! Before getting intelectual, you have to be visceral!
The name I had for this pic before the current one was "Hagane", d'you know?
I also recomend check Wikipedia's "Yamato Nadeshiko" article... It's amazing how everything seem to get together without being previously planned!
Loved your comment! Thank you very much!)

[mindchamber's red baron!]

Awesome!

It's Awesome + The Power of Awesome Square x the Theory of Awesome Infinity!

Its perfect to see the Baron eating while fighting - that'll be significant to his character.

Thanks again dude!

jouste responds:

hey thank YOU for pointing me out to a ver cool character and game!

man fighting and eating. now there was some simpler times. almost makes me want to don a loincloth, grab a broadsword and become a professional slayer!

thanks a lot pal!

*mega super highfive of DOOM!*

[In the summer]

I always found this to be cute

It's not often ghost are portrayed in the style of the old cartoons.

This is an interesting fusion of old and new ideas.

It's like looking at an anime version of casper.

This would suite nicely as a T-Shirt icon.

Sorrygirl99 responds:

omg!
that would be cute~
but i have other ideas ^^

[sion the slaughterer!]

It's bad-ass

But if the eyes of the skulls he was wearing glowed a fiery orange...

That would be even more bad-ass-er.

Man! Everything you do looks so cool!

jouste responds:

hey thanks jak!

he actually has a cryptic gaze spell that comes from red glowy eyes but it kept looking cheesy so i opted out of it.

thanks for the highscore!

*highfives*

[Emo Emu]

The first time you showed me this...

I...laughed SO hard!

You're probably the first person who made the association of an Emu with Emo.

This needs to be a poster for sale!

RatsInTheWall responds:

It is...or was a while back. I abandoned my Cafe Press shop long ago. By now if you go there self-aware evolved mushrooms have built a civilization using low-quality t-shirts as currency.
