So I wrote this on a website looking for an artist to team up with, but I figure it could read easily to everyone.
I'm an aspiring writer, and here are a bit of my ideas and thoughts. Be HONEST, please. I need to know if I suck!
Here's a link so there isn't a huge copy/paste job.

Something you all probably don't know is that him and Clint Eastwood fended off an attack from robot
ninjas and saved OT. Thanks Chessmaster!
(And Clint Eastwood 
) - DJ-Lafleur
That's all well and good in practice, but how does it work in theory?
Just read through them and I think it would be more productive for you to give an idea of where you're going with these, rather than just giving the first few panels.
I am a little concerned that you mention styles that you're going for instead of giving a broader outline. It would make me at least worry that you're basing yourself too heavily in other people's works and don't have enough ideas of your own. That's kind of reinforced by the fact that what you've got written down in the first few panels for each (especially the first one) are pretty standard settings/scenarios.
Not meaning to discourage you or anything just thought it might be good to lay out your ideas a little more!

Are you talking about my examples of artists styles? Or the descriptions of the art?
I could definitely write more- I would love to. It's fun. I was just giving a taste of my writing style (that needs improved, no doubt), and just a basic premise. I originally posted this on a site that's designed for creators to meet and team up. So I was describing the panels to see what the artists who submit a sample could do.
Tomorrow I'm going to sit down and write up an overarching storyline that will tell you all where the plot is going and what it's all REALLY about. This was just a sample of the tone and basic, basic, plot themes.

Sorry I wasn't aware that when you were referring to those series, you were talking about art style. My mistake!
Looking forward to seeing the overarching plotline. No need to rush it though unless you've already thought it out already, you (most likely) won't come up with a great series in an afternoon.

I liked the second one (not a big fan of crime stuff unless it is a mini). Although the first one did have that creepy feeling that would be seen in one of those older horror movies (you know, when they were good).
But I agree with the other guy, it would be nice to see what you have plotted out so far to see how these stories will progress.

I literally just wrote for an hour. Then my browser shut down. I was about to click submit. I am so pissed off. I'm sorry.
