Not much to say on any of the others, but I definitely like the concept of that last one. Well done.

How'd you make the last one, very interesting.

As for the rest, not bad. My favourite would be the corgy.

Congrats! You passed 3rd grade art class!

Everything that wasn't hand drawn looks like they've been traced in either flash or photoshop (I'm assuming PS) which is the artistic skill equivalent of wiping your ass.
Your hand drawings are only good in the sense that they look just like the source pictures you used. If they were from still photographs of people/landscapes they would be great, but simplistic cartoons are as impressive as a geo metro with a spoiler.
Your photoshop paradox piece is an idea that older than my grandpa's left nut. Similar pieces float around the internet all the time, and, better.

My advice is grab a ream of printer paper, a pencil/pen and draw for a good two years before posting anything else. Use reference pictures (like you did with Mario and Flanders) but get away from straight copying. Put the characters in different poses, with different props, expressions, etc. Or like I said earlier use photographs of real people/places and try to draw them picture perfect, shading and everything. Either way you need to experiment and practice until you can find a method and style that suits you and stands out from everyone else.

They aren't really worth making a thread about.

That's some pretty terrible work. Why would be proud of it / make a thread about it?

I felt that I would at least get good comments or get a good kick out of the hilarious comments people made.

Mission Accomplished
