I really liked to first and fith ones, very cool concept... (can't do it, not even when sober, CAN'T GET THAT ENGINE TURNED OVER!)
My favorite thing about this is that you just went off on a tangent about a fictitious charactor in a song... cause it's like something i'm working on from a 'Mr.Bungle' song. We likes it very much, keep going!
btw, as far as being an uptight critic goes.. the fourth one down, i'd check the legs, look a little small, & the second one from the bottom's shoulders look a little too narrow... really liked your background in the first one, with the hanging feet ;)

IN teh fourth one down I was kind of going for a more stylized look, a little bit toony but still gritty :nohope: Thats why it seems a little out of proportion, same with the one right beneathe it, the legs are a little too long on purpose to give him a kind of lenky Spike Spiegel kind of look. Thanks for the crits.
