Aaaaaah! The Flaming Lips and a snazzy hipster bear? Major kudos, good sir.

mmm, the new flaming lips CD is tremendous.

and so it this bear, nice job Clox.

I wanna hug him! lol

Oh very good. I thought it was his too. That is a fine compliment to him. Maybe he told a bawdy joke to a nun.... my bad haha

just got the urge to try one for myself, haha, but it's not nearly as well developed or good as any of his.

lololol, Cindy He's kinda cute

very beautiful axil, i preferd it at the point with the eye, nice animation to watch

It stopped a quater through, but it was spectacular nonetheless.

I love this...animation very cool.

extremely great likeness.

the colours used are phenomenal..the lips and eyes..I have tried to pain this woman's face along with others, but hers the most and I have yet to ger all her facial feature correct...so I enjoy looking at this..the only thing I would stay to tune up some..would be the hair , needs a little definition..but that is me of course, you are your own artist and for you this maybe finished. But this is phenomenal! pardon my mispellings.

Beautiful draw! Very well done!

I like it better at 50%
I'd like to see you draw another one like this but with lots of tattoos.

Derrick, Nobody: Perhaps I'll combine your ideas...that might be fun. It'll be like MAD Magazine meets Shawn Barber.

A mix of anger ,envy and apathy not in that order, that what it is to me.

Looks fantastic. Makes me want to get some.

I like version 1 better

I like it :)

Oh ok, well that's fine then. :)

"I like how the right side looks like she has a man back with a big dent in it! Like her man back side was in a big bar fight one night because this one guy took all the pretzels and one thing lead to another and ole' half man back thought she should get up and do something about it but then the other guy had a friend who usually doesn't come to that bar, no he usually goes to the 4 U lounge, but he went there this time and when ole' half man back stood up he knew he had to have his buddy's back... his buddy was a man so his whole back was a man back, not like this lady's back, but anyway, so he saw ole' half man back get up to do something about something an he slammed her upper right shoulder area with an extra 4 inch lead pipe he happened to be carrying around, not his good one that he had in his coat pocket for something else, but his extra one. So that's what I like about this picture when I look at it."

I'd just like to ask Zack one last question here. Is this what you call, 'formal criticism'? Of course, you could be referring to criticism given to terracotta by people besides Axil. But I'm pretty sure terracotta's posts were in response to Axil. Although, I haven't had 50 yrs of experience myself, I've never heard of giving criticism in 'tell-a-funny-story' form in any of my classes. And I can assure you, if that were the case, I wouldn't waste my money or time on such an unprofessional school.

No. What I was agreeing with Axil about was the issue of sexual abuse re: his cartoon. His critique was informal and absurd. I do not consider the issue of the picture being finished relevant to an analysis of the motivation behind any critique, formal or informal, since critiques on finished pictures are just as legitimate as critiques on works-in-progress.

The absurdity of Axil's comment speaks for itself, and to imply that he was being meanspirited for pointing out flaws in a finished picture demonstrates to me a lack of understanding of the nature of artistic critique in a learning environment. That is to say, Axil may have been meanspirited in his comment (I can't tell), but that has nothing to do with the fact that he was criticizing a finished picture.

Nicely simple.

rain on a windshield, so well done with such minimilism... Axil, you are amazing. I can hear the song too. this so fits.

you perfectly captured the wet car window effect -- much appreciated.
