@papercut: Three front-page promos in a week? Nice work!

Cool! Is that like a record or something?

Probably. For a long time, no one was updating that section of the front page. I started doing it during E3 and want to try to keep new stuff up there all the time.

If you get too bored, as Dagbiker mentioned, you could do Kessler or give Dave and Drew a proper set. Although, Drew has only given out 5's so far.

Hes reviewed games

Once again, the five-star one is my absolute favorite.

@papercut

You have a gift, my friend.

The cartoon Alex's you made brought a big smile to my face. Just what I needed after a long, tough day at work. Rock on.

Ok, cool. No problem.

Finally, somebody understands the importance of fucking .png filetypes.

As with Patrick's, my favorites are 1 star and 5 star

I think that perfectly suits him.

5 star is pretty great.

I really like the 2 star one. The rest are also cool.

why is he a zombie? eh whatever zombies are cool.

These look pretty awesome. I can't help but think that maybe his goatee should get longer and longer, though. Is that weird?

1 star= Alex Neverdeado

Would've liked some more variation between the 2, 3, and 4 stars. And would have loved it if the 5 star was just Nicolas Cage haha.

These are well done though.

@papercut: This is some fantastic work. I bet Rorie surrounded by 5 puppies would look great in your style.

None of them say "That's a thing...", which saddens me.

However, the work you have done is excellent. The five-star is especially the best...because Alex would actually do that.

Also, can we change the one-star to Alex as Tim Curry from Legend killing a unicorn? I have a feeling he'd actually do that too.

NOT. ENOUGH. CAGE!

I approve.

And to think Jeff wants to dump the portraits for reviews.

Brilliant stuff.

I like 2/5 because it looks like he has a sweet mustache.

I hope these get used at least once!

There needs to be a star-to-beard correlation, 5 being mountain man. Also, good job on the creativity regarding both Alex and Patrick - the brainz is a nice touch, and 5-Star Kleptok was cool.

Also, is his well-manicured stubble of a beard suave, or does it enter asshole territory? The combination of it and his attitude sometimes makes me think of an art school undergrad.

@JeanLuc: Brad's five star pic already uses that pose though.

Now put them to good use Giant Bomb!

3 Star Alex is like John Drake with a goatee.

The two and three star drawings could use more emotions.

So, this is a thing.

Great work, though for some reason I can't not see a moustache on two stars.

I know. What has been seen cannot be unseen.

So that's a thing.™ (Yep I'm only the fifth person... ;P )

I agree Dave's is pretty much perfect. Was thinking how about changing the number of helmet slits, ala Isaac Clarke, and perhaps the shield art. But always the same pose.

For the non-staff reviews I think each intern should represent a particular score... Kessler = 1, Nick = 2, Steve = 3, Lemon = 4, Ben = 5 (head cropped out of frame, naturally). Favoritism? Maybe. God's honest truth? Damn rights.

Somebody in the other thread with cartoon patrick suggestedthat 5 star alex should just be a picture of Nicholas Cage... Would that be conceivable?

Also they should start retroactively replacing the old picture with the ones you made.

why are you so good at this? This is amazing. I bet the crew will start using these once you have a set for all of them.

apparently once the redesign is done they will do away with the cartoon images on reviews

@JeanLuc said:

@papercut: I was hoping for this pose to end up being used.

Oh well, still awesome job duder.

@papercut:

and yeah, this should be 5

awesome job duder!

Fantastic

This is amazing, great job!

I wish I had the talent to draw.

Spectaculous!!

@papercut: When need dave icons now!!!

PUT THESE ON THE SITE, NAOW! Terrific work as always.

@papercut: Great job again!

You should do a 5* with Rorie, that includes puppies of course.

So, this is a thing.

Great work, though for some reason I can't not see a moustache on two stars.

@papercut: I liked the Patrick ones more, but these are cool too - especially the 5-star one.

They damn well better use these and Patrick's instead of getting rid of the review score cartoons. Whenever this comes up I've yet to see anyone be in favor of removing them.

Excellence

Those are awesome, I love zombie Alex.

Good stuff!

5 Stars Alex creeps me out with that happiness. Even when Rayman Origins is one of Alex's favorite games, he's still not enthusiastic when talking about it :P

These are good.

But there's something funny about the 2-star one. It doesn't look right.

Also the 3-star one looks more like John Drake with a beard, but that's okay.

These are awesome! It's too bad they probably won't get used; it's also a shame the 5-star one is sooo good, cuz if they do use them, they'll never need that 5-star Alex picture. ;)
