Because Cartoon Review Patrick was received so well and because people thought I should, here's the Alex 5 star scale I made up.

Once again, here they are individually.

Alex-1

Alex-2

Alex-3

Alex-4

Alex-5

And once again what do you guys think?

#2 Posted by WMWA (1138 posts) - 11 months, 3 days ago

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.

#3 Posted by SmilingPig (1276 posts) - 11 months, 3 days ago

Once again, great work.

#4 Posted by Sweep (8109 posts) - 11 months, 3 days ago

I like them, though 3 stars Alex's mouth looks slightly strange. Maybe the line is too thick?

#5 Posted by WMWA (1138 posts) - 11 months, 3 days ago

Yeah, number 3 needs a bit of retooling. I imagine the neutral ones are the hardest to get right

#6 Posted by pyromagnestir (2920 posts) - 11 months, 3 days ago

5 star Alex get's 10 stars. No, wait, 20. 100! All the stars!

The rest are cool too

#7 Edited by MooseyMcMan (8559 posts) - 11 months, 3 days ago

I think these are very good.

#8 Posted by Tylea002 (2247 posts) - 11 months, 3 days ago

Amazing.

It would be a crime for them to remove them from reviews, seeing as you're now picking up the slack of making awesome new cartoons. Full approval here.

#9 Posted by Rappelsiini (651 posts) - 11 months, 3 days ago

Simply amazing. I wish GB continues to use their cartoon pictures with the review score even though there have been talks about getting rid off them.

#10 Posted by Milkman (13999 posts) - 11 months, 3 days ago

Once again, awesome.

#11 Posted by Ramone (2439 posts) - 11 months, 3 days ago

Great job man

#12 Posted by Cincaid (2875 posts) - 11 months, 3 days ago

Excellent work mate! Wish I could draw as well as you.

#13 Posted by Alex (1341 posts) - 11 months, 3 days ago

I am quite fond of the things you have done here.

#14 Posted by RandomInternetUser (6779 posts) - 11 months, 3 days ago

Awesome, I love the zombie 1 star.

#15 Posted by JeanLuc (3312 posts) - 11 months, 3 days ago

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

Oh well, still awesome job duder.

#16 Posted by papercut (2966 posts) - 11 months, 3 days ago

@Alex: All in a days work fair citizen

#17 Posted by Megasoum (321 posts) - 11 months, 3 days ago

They are amazing!

Really sucks that they are activly working on getting rid of the cartoon review portraits on the new site.

#18 Posted by Animasta (12768 posts) - 11 months, 3 days ago

I feel like 4 star alex wants to sell me cocaine or something

#19 Posted by Damian (1533 posts) - 11 months, 3 days ago

Excellent! I hear that party-favour 'honk' every time I look at #5.

#20 Posted by AmatureIdiot (753 posts) - 11 months, 3 days ago

So, this is a thing.

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

#21 Posted by Euphorio (77 posts) - 11 months, 3 days ago

I feel like 1 star Alex should be more sad...1 star games are far more depressing than just bein a zombie...it should really be like a zombie with one eye...or tears

#22 Posted by joshthebear (2339 posts) - 11 months, 3 days ago

Quite amazing, but the 5-star is a thing of beauty.

#23 Edited by RenMcKormack (1028 posts) - 11 months, 3 days ago

@Rappelsiini: who has said this? is this like the Brad's leaving thing? am i getting trolled? in my own town?

#24 Posted by Nottle (1879 posts) - 11 months, 3 days ago
This should be 3 star Alex. Just enough excitment and meh in it to be 3 stars.
#25 Posted by katanalauncher (215 posts) - 11 months, 3 days ago

You only need the four star one.

#26 Posted by NegativeCero (2495 posts) - 11 months, 3 days ago

@Nottle: God, that picture really should have been included. God job nonetheless. I'm hoping for you to show Dave some love the next time around.

100% serious, unless I've been trolled as well. I think Jeff said it somewhere, I'm not sure and can't bother to find source to support my claim.

I've heard Jeff say this a few times. The last time was on Dave's radio show. They're looking at discontinuing them with the site redesign. Maybe they'll change their mind though. You never know. The community seems to like them.

Yeah Jeff (and probably other) said it multiple time that they want to take them out so I'm sure it won't be in the redesign. It's a shame if you ask me, added a bit of personality in the reviews.

#30 Posted by Begilerath (171 posts) - 11 months, 3 days ago

These are great, but I think one of those should look like Nicolas Cage...I don't know if it should be 5 star Alex/Cage of 1 star Alex/Cage

I like that idea too but Brads already throwing up the horns in his 5 star. They'd have to battle for it.
These are super awesome.
#32 Posted by Tennmuerti (6817 posts) - 11 months, 3 days ago

Your Alex is really fucking creepy.

So spot on i guess!

#33 Posted by Hockeymask27 (3451 posts) - 11 months, 3 days ago

So awesome.

#34 Posted by iAmJohn (5777 posts) - 11 months, 3 days ago

You are way too good at this, dude. Seriously, if the team can see these and the ones you made for Patrick and still want to do away with them entirely, they're monsters. MONSTERS, I TELL YOU.

#35 Posted by Begilerath (171 posts) - 11 months, 3 days ago

May I suggest this image for the 1-star Alex

#36 Posted by Crixaliz (777 posts) - 11 months, 3 days ago

These and the Patrick ones are amazing!

You are quite talented at this

#37 Posted by supamon (915 posts) - 11 months, 3 days ago

I'm glad this is a thing.

#38 Posted by Phatmac (5258 posts) - 11 months, 3 days ago

Great job! It's about time that Alex got some cartoon love too!

#39 Posted by Hockeymask27 (3451 posts) - 11 months, 3 days ago

@papercut: did a little mock up awesome job.

sadzombie.com is a different website.

#41 Posted by Video_Game_King (29313 posts) - 11 months, 3 days ago

Four start Alex scares me.

#42 Posted by Brendan (6760 posts) - 11 months, 3 days ago

5 star Alex is my favourite!

Thats too much like the Brad five star cartoon.

#44 Posted by dungbootle (2247 posts) - 11 months, 3 days ago

Love 'em just like the Patrick ones

#45 Posted by Gabriel (4035 posts) - 11 months, 3 days ago

The one star should be him getting run over by a truck.

#46 Posted by DemBones (69 posts) - 11 months, 3 days ago

Nicely done. You should make them for Luchadeer and Cool Baby.

Well considering that they're planning on removing the cartoon characters in the site redesign...

#48 Posted by RedRoach (1086 posts) - 11 months, 3 days ago

@wmaustin55: @Sweep: 3 star Alex looks like John Drake.

#49 Posted by boocreepyfootdoctor (814 posts) - 11 months, 3 days ago

No references to wrestling, nic cage, 18-wheelers, or asylum films. Alex deserves better!

#50 Edited by AlexanderSheen (3546 posts) - 11 months, 3 days ago

Great job duder!

3 star Alex looks like John Drake with a goatee.
