What a totally cool concept! The cliff one is my favourite.

[steammmpunk.livejournal.com]

BRILLIANT! What a cool idea. :D

[springwoof.livejournal.com]

::laughter and applause::
excellent! MALPs are under-appreciated critters...

[http://users.livejournal.com/_bettina_/]

Wow, awesome!

[jayel-fox.livejournal.com]

Completely awesome and awe inspiring. My favorite is the first, with the sharp teeth and drool, but I also love the perspective of the cliff-diving MALP. Wonderful job.

[taiteilija.livejournal.com]

These are brilliant! I especially love those confused birds and the ugly monsters :D

[burkesl17.livejournal.com]

Awesome!

[gaffsie.livejournal.com]

Hah, MALP: the unsung hero. :D

[leesa_perrie]

ROTFL!!! Oh I love them all, but number 3 just has that something extra for me - though at first I thought it was being carried away by a big bird, but reading the first few comments, realised it's falling off a cliff! Either way, love it the most, though they are all very funny.

Great idea! And oh, MALPS, the poor forgotten heroes...

[astridv.livejournal.com]

Thank you kindly. And hey, thanks so much for reccing. :)

Great idea! And oh, MALPS, the poor forgotten heroes...

Someone just had to tell their story...

[merelyn.livejournal.com]

So cool!

[clear-as-blood.livejournal.com]

I love your art style. There is so much awesome here—the perplexed look on the birds’ faces, the space one being pretty yet so deadly, the spitting tentacle creature(s?)...oh, those poor MALPs

[devildoll.livejournal.com]

Hee! Brilliant and hilarious!

[astridv.livejournal.com]

Thanks!

[iamrighthere.livejournal.com]

Marvelous. The humor, the artistry! Loved them all, but the space one...it's so lonely. It really made me stop and think about that poor MALP, leaving nice, warm, sunny Atlantis and, a moment later, floating out there in nothingness for eternity. /sigh/ Time to eat some candy.

[astridv.livejournal.com]

Ah *beams*. Thank you, very glad you like them.

[leyna55.livejournal.com]

Hee! Love the concept. Art 5-things ftw!

(Poor MALPs. Somewhere at the MALP factory, someone is composing letters of protest to the Ancients over their less than stunning Gate-site choosing policy)

[astridv.livejournal.com]

Whoever came up with the 5-things idea totally wins and must be properly worshipped. (I knew at one point who it was but I, um, forgot)

[negolith2.livejournal.com]

Heee! That last one looked vaguely C'Thulhu-ish. Awesome!!

[astridv.livejournal.com]

Thanks. (Not I got to ask... what *are* these C'Tulhus everybody's always talking about?)

[pocky_slash.livejournal.com]

Ahahaha, oh my gosh, awesome! I love the one with the birds XD

[astridv.livejournal.com]

Thanks!

[ana-grrl.livejournal.com]

Cool concept and execution! Thank yo :)

[astridv.livejournal.com]

Thanks, I had much fun drawing them.

You are splendid and magical!

[kormantic.livejournal.com]

These are so groovy!

Re: You are splendid and magical!

[astridv.livejournal.com]

You are splendid and magical!

LOL
That's a nice thing to read first thing in the morning.
Glad you like.

[b-sweens.livejournal.com]

*sniff* Awwww, poor MALPs :(

I absolutely love these!

[astridv.livejournal.com]

Thank you kindly.

Awesome artwork. I love how in motion your work is--it gives it a huge presence. Thanks!

[astridv.livejournal.com]

Thanks. Photoshop was very useful in enhancing the illusion of motion. You can do pretty cool stuff with these filters (which I only just discovered).

[bethcarielle.livejournal.com]

Oh I love this. We never hear about the planets where the MALP doesn't come back. Great images.

[astridv.livejournal.com]

Thanks!

[mirrorskippy.livejournal.com]

Wow these are so awesome. Thank God for the malp, the team on any of those planets would not end well (especially the first one - all those teeth! :shudders like the wimpy girl she is:).

[astridv.livejournal.com]

Heh. I'd still like to do something with the team battling a toothy/tentacl-y monster.

[ileliberte.livejournal.com]

Oh AWESOME! The salivating beasts and the open space ones are my favorite. I don't know how I managed to miss this! The ending is very nicely done too.

[astridv.livejournal.com]

Thank you! Glad you like my beastiers. First I wanted to do dinosaurs but then I thought, hey, it's another galaxy, go nuts.

[adafrog.livejournal.com]

Those are great! Thanks.

[astridv.livejournal.com]

Glad you like them. :)

[ltlj.livejournal.com]

That was excellent! The concept is hilarious and I love the color, the imagination, everything!

[astridv.livejournal.com]

Thanks!

The concept is hilarious

Ah, that makes me happy. I had the idea just when the challenge was over, and thinking about it made me giggle. So I drew them and then sat on them for two weeks waiting for amnesty07. By which time I couldn't quite tell any more if they were really funny or if I just amuse easy...
