all I can seem to come up with these days is "DUDE THROW SOME INK ON DAT BIT!" Ink Outlines and designer's block. Real CnC, etc.
I don't know how to comment on the first one. But the second one is pretty amusing concidering you're trying to make him look like he's melting from the heat. ONly thing though, is try not to mess up the original text with the smudging. Like on the "E", "N", and "D". Other than that, its' pretty well made.
