Andrew! I have two versions... one with the 9mm, one with a rocket launcher...
Sarah! Yours turned out really wierd... I think I'll go for more of a seductive expression or something. You were too manly (face-wise). Lol.

Yeah that would be awesome!!

Could you post it?

Alright Jason, I have waited long enough. I want my freaking pictures!!

Looks like they never got finished.

Are you still drawing Jason?

I really want to learn how to draw this anime stuff. I am unenlightened in this area though, the only shows I've ever seen are Pokemon and Dragonball Z.

lol, those aren't good shows to learn how to draw anime from...
unless you just like that style...
the best way to learn anime style would be to copy some manga (anime-style comic books)

hey murdock, you on deviantart, cause if your not, you should be

I have no idea where to get 'manga', but I'm definitely going to try and find some.

just go to barnes and noble's or any other big bookstore, they all usually have manga sections
you'll just have to get used to reading rightmost panel to leftmost panel

Mmm. Bad examples. I learned a lot of my (pitiful) anime drawing skills from AnimeNation Forums, and the Polykarbon tutorials. Other than that I just observed anime shows, read a few mangas (Animenation.com sells them, as well as chain bookstores here in America like Books a Million or Barnes & Noble).

Nope. I have a sturdy and cordial disliking for DeviantArt. Poor layout, crappy uploading setup. Drives me crazy.

Not necessarily. Some companies do keep them in the original Japanese layout, but most rearrange them to American format- which I prefer. Reading a book backwards confuses me.

true.
it always messes with me when i read manga for a while then go to read an american strip, i always end up reading the punchline first and stuff...

**edit**
ok wow those polykarbon tutorials helped me A LOT with proportions and stuff
