[Vegeta]

That's a pretty good vegeta. You just chose a bit of a light colour palette for vegeta, but it's still decently accurate to Akira Toriyama's original concept for Vegeta.

You seem better handled with Shonen characters than you are with realistic ones.

From looking at this simple drawing of Vegeta I can already tell you have a good chance at doing some decent Shonen styled web-comics.
I know you did one all by yourself, I read it. And no offence, man, but it was pretty horrible.
The dialogue was atrocious, the characters were one-dimensional, the story was a stupid idea to begin with, and it was all one, spectacular mess.

This is why the next web-comic you do has to have another guy on board, a writer.

Anyways, a good drawing with pretty alright lighting.

bocodamondo responds:

you mean "double gender" ah i gave that up loong ago....it took me too much effort & time to draw each page..and at the end it was not worth it, not a single bit.

[Smiling FLA Girl]

You are getting much better at drawing the human female. Good work.

CardsNarg responds:

Thanks

[Ritz]

What are you still playing? Also, great artwork, bro.

[Kamina]

It's the motherfucking Kamina! But, something's a little off...The goddamned glasses! Why in the fuck did you not draw Kamina without the glasses!? That's like, the defining feature of this character. Where's that signature Gainax touch? Where is it? And his face....It's all wrong! I'm sorry that I just HAVE to have it just right, but....This might as well be an entirely different character.

bocodamondo responds:

i didnt draw them on porpouse just likes hes dad's cape. because he will have them for my next artwork wich will or "should" be more epic ^^

[Home Sweet Home]

Aaaaand THAT'S why you don't try to decorate in a submarine, folks!

This comic brings on quite a powerful message towards everyone who plans on having a luxury home at the bottom of the sea. Don't.

[Dojo]

A pretty nice piece of artwork. And a really decent bit of background art for the game. Will it be available on steam so I can maybe buy it?

It's well drawn like all your other artwork submissions. Good work!

deathink responds:

I am not sure, but I know it will be on a lot of different platforms.

[Grove Street]

The similarity is uncanny. I never even thought of Michael as Ernie, Franklin as Grover, and Trevor as Bert. Fucking brilliant.

Also, what did you think of the game? Just curious about your opinions on it.

JohnnyUtah responds:

I'm enjoying it. As much as the open world aspect is cool I almost wish there were more complicated heists with variable paths over stuff like racing and darts. Also it's filled with great characters. I'm always ready to hate on a game for shitty writing but that and the characterizations are real solid in this game.

[Medic]

That's a manly-ass medic....Why do you have to make every male you draw so buff and manly? And why do you have to make every woman you draw extremely busty and overly sexualized? Remember: You have almost limitless possibilities for what you can do with flash, or whatever program you use (which is probably flash), so, keep practicing your drawing talent.

I quite enjoy the lighting and the fine set of eyeballs that you have drawn surprisingly well! Finally! You did semi-realistic eyes, which is different, and I like difference when it comes to you.

Keep doin' what you're doin', so keep practicing your evil witch ceremonies.

Have a good one!

bocodamondo responds:

to be honest, i did not tried to make hm buffed....maybe this is because i started to watch avengers assemble and it is why i kinda UNINTENTIONAL started adapt the shows art style because i really like it. and every fucking character there got a neck like this, even unmuscled characters like hawkeye and falcon..

edit: i noticed something, i DONT draw ALL female artworks over sexualized...its just that apparently the ones who are get more attention then the others. i mean from my latest pieces with females on them there a quite a few that are NOT oversexualized, like "ironwoman 2" "chinesse dress ada (yeah you can call this one sexy/sexual buts its not oversexualized then how ada is in the game, also no big breasts)" "haruhi fujioka" "nebula" and even "DY" ...the latest oversexualized ones are "dietra" "pyra" "naked melandy" "boa hancock" and "little batgirl" (ignore "megagirl because that is just a dumb rough) also hancock and rouge allready have giant breasts so its not my fault if i draw them big...so yeah, i do make normal artworks with females on them now and then, they just dont get as much attention wich result into most thinking i ONLY do the sexy ones since those get more attention
a dumb example:
its like when you both drink water and play with fire in a public place, nobody will care if you drink water, but everyone will when they see you play with fire..and most will remember you only for playing with fire, but not drinking water

[MegaBoy]

I do remember those old Mega-Man NES box-arts. But that's not the Mega-Man I remember seeing from looking at Mega-Man 1-3's box-art. Mega-Man actually was holding a lazer pistol in his hand. HAND. He didn't even have a mega-buster. Looking back, i find it quite funny how the artist didn't even know what Mega-Man even looked like.
I know you probably won't read this due to the amount of artwork you post here, but seriously, that's not that stupid Mega-Man cover-art that I remember.
You shoulod do a second one, only this time, you get the character design right.

bocodamondo responds:

i never ment that this IS that old odd megaman from the covers. i just ment that remember how odd he looked and so out the shape of the real megeman. well this is just like it, not IT, just like it. i dont like to explain the joke :/

[Robert Downey Jr]

Robert Downey Jr. is the man!

A truly great actor with all the perfect specifications to play the main role in the Iron Man movies. Hell, he might as well BE Tony Stark with how perfectly he captured his personality. Great drawing of a great guy.
