I normally don't judge either. Unless you're an idiot. Then I start a judgin'. (not you I mean)
Also hot damn, some of those pictures are actually pretty good.
The same reasoning that the amazing 2 Gryphon uses! I can get behind that.

Thanks a lot for the compliments man, I remember being that personal redesign of the Spider Mastermind being one I was really proud of for a long time. I should probably go back and re-draw that again it's been years!
Yeah Half-Dude you're a rare case for these forums. Don't get us wrong, we appreciate that, the subject matter is just *confusing sometimes.
The other categories you've touched in that collection of pictures is cute. Endearing style.
*Apply the logic of 'nothing new under the sun'
I just appreciate that you guys (for the most part) have that appreciation and mutual respect here unlike the assholes over at Cringe Network. No matter how nice you acted, no matter how calmly you tried to speak your piece, you were going to be trolled no matter what you said if you're on their target list. That's why I was so defensive when I came here at first, especially when the first 10 pages before my arrival were rather... critical of me. I'm very happy to have made some friends here and maybe even opened a few minds.
Have you considered being a commercial illustrator for magazines and ads and stuff like that? It's not as cool as making cartoons but there's a good bit of work out there and it pays pretty well.
It's also way less about your college degree and more about your work than a lot of other fields.
That sounds kickass Picklekins, (lol) I have absolutely no idea where to even look for employment in that field unfortunately. Another thing that kinda hurts me though...
I was made fun of a lot in Middle School, like it literally felt like the entire school was talking about me behind my back, I'd have so many people I'd never met before being lile "lol you're that guy that ---- aren't you?? lol!" it really sucked. It basically caused me to close in on myself and never express myself out of fear of giving people emotional ammo to use againt me if they wanted to make fun of me.. this is unfortunately a self-defense mechanism that I'm stuck with today. I was basically the Jim Carrey of the day, lots of funny faces and physical humor like him. I was so care free and all I wanted to do was make people laugh. But the kids all took it and started calling me "r.e.t.a.r.d" for it and it basically ruined that part of me forever... it makes me pretty sad a lot of the time to think about that honestly.
Anyway, what that means for my art is basically.. IRL I'm really closeted with my art, even the non-car porn stuff, even harmless stuff. Because art is a form of expression, if you draw something it instantly means to people that this is something that's important to you. And things that are important to me are, yep, emotional ammo.
So basically the response I get about my car art most of the time like on here at first? People calling me crazy for it or saying I'm fucked up? It's that type of stuff I fear happening even when seeing my normal stuff like I just put up last post.. for the longest time I couldn't even show my OWN mom my artwork or draw in the same room as other people... I'm getting better....
But it still means that basically I get little to no joy out of showing people my art IRL.. because instead I'm literally sweating and blushing the entire time bracing to be ridiculed.
So you could see how using my art as resume material for work would be... hard. Tragic isn't it?
