[Amazin' Comics #19]

Funny because it's not true.... and the art is so damn good! I'm not being sarcastic either. A lot of the comedy comes from the absurd poses you put the characters in. Keep it up! I love those chicken-feet arms!

[Amazin' Comics #12]

Yes, this is epic. A bit oddly presented but a brilliant idea on many levels.

[Amazin' Comics #9]

So good! The previous one wasn't funny at all but now I'm falling off my chair laughing again! The punchlines are so unexpected.

[Amazin' Comics #7]

Man, you are on a roll!

[Amazin' Comics #6]

I knew she was going to die in the first panel but the nailgun and the facial expression were so unexpected and made it much more hilarious!

[Amazin' Comics #5]

This one was hilarious and no one posted anything! Whaaaat?

[Ariel Zombie]

The scales and hair are so mesmerizing. Her arms seem to be overly straight however. I guess you say she is dancing.

[Blood at the shore]

This is one of my favorite pieces I've seen here. The composition is engaging and the colors are pleasant. Shading is bold and action lines are clear. The art style is dynamic and you can feel the energy and motion. I actually felt my stomach turn looking at the blond woman's reaction. The brunette in the foreground appearing to hesitate after seeing the blond getting eviscerated was a nice touch as well. I agree with Roslin99921 that there isn't enough water splashes around the women, especially considering the speed that the killer is moving. Still amazing overall feeling however.

[Bikini Raven]

I had the same cognitive dissonance as 'slurpeekat'. I like 'Emo' Raven. This picture make me cringe. I feel like she just did this in a moment of 'trying to fit in' and her friends took a picture that will haunt her for the rest of her life! 15 yrs later with her emo husband and 3 emo kids, her duagther finds this pic and it destroys her life: my mother used to be a NON-EMO!!!!! gah - ok the stupid comment will end now.

Good art! Beautiful shading. With skin tone like that, she NEEDS some sun!

[Scanty at the Beach]

I would actually say this is the WRONG way to do things. You don't build audience by tricking people. Sure, this was an 'experiment' and if the goal is to squeeze pageviews out of people who care NOTHING about your work, you succeeded. Those pageviews, however will not lead to new long-term viewers. Also it will erode your current audience's trust.

I am saying NOTHING negative about you or your work. You are a highly talented artist with a large fan base. You got that base by quality and consistency.

The point I am making is there is no benefit to this strategy, for serious artists, in the big picture. Think about it. It's the same as a Guro artist cropping the image to show the smiling face, then when you click, you get a decapitated head. You wouldn't think that was funny either. Everyone wants what they want. Be it porn or be it bunnies frolicking in flowers.

Focus on what you are good at or love and crop thumbnails to show what the viewer will actually GET. This is the true strategy for success. Also, you'll have more pride in your body of work at the end as well.

Please take no offense. I meant none. Just information. Oh, I need a rating. You still get 5 bc your art is amazing. -.5 for the trick :)
