What makes good gag manipulations?

Did some more Manips this time of Myrna and Flo from The Adventures of T-rex series. http://imgur.com/a/PBWZ8

I am wondering has anyone did manpis of other peoples artworks?

I have done some.

Cool can we see'em?

I'm thinking of getting a new comic story going on my deviantart page that will feature lots of manipulations. The story will involve a protagonist fleeing with some kind of Macguffin from an antagonist in hot pursuit. On the way the protagonist encounters and falls in love with a beautiful cabaret singer.

She tries to aid the protagonist in kind of an April O'Niell type of fashion until the antagonist catches up to her and uses her as bait to lure the protagonist into a trap. The usual damsel in distress formula ensues.
I haven't decided yet how to go about it. I was wondering what you guys' opinion would be on some of my options:

1. My protagonist/antagonist options at this point are:
-Mega Man/Dr. Wily
-A minion (or 2)/ Vector
-Woody and/or Buzz from Toy Story/ Emperor Zurg

2. I don't know if it would look too strange, using a live action heroine while the rest of the characters are animated.

3. As you all well know, my manipulation skills are novice level. I'd be willing to collaborate but I certainly don't want to impose anything on anyone.

Looking forward to you guys' input. My apologies to the moderator if this post is in the wrong category.

Excellent work.

Here is a manip of Mari from Samurai Flamenco. I don't suppose anyone is willing to give critiques of these manips any time soon.

Nice work Aqua.

Yeah I'm still wating to hear comments on my work as well.

[Aquarionoid]

I think your works are good, but could use a blur tool to fix/smoothen them up.

Minor break from mecha girls, so here is one of Mao from Blood Plus because she has a bit of a mouth on her.



I swear I'm not doing something right. I am half tempted to make my own topic with anime girls of my own tastes, but I don't want to come across as a spammer or any more of a snob than I might be seen as now. Plus I'd rather not demonstrate my power level.

Another flawless manip from HCZ.

[Aquarionoid]

In an attempt to do what HCZ did I tried a square tape gag, took a while for a picture on 4chan to show up, but someone eventually posted a good one of Cima from Gundam 0083.

Two pictures with each having two bikini girls from two different franchises with each one having a natural pair combined into a picture split into two versions of manipulations. You can tell they're natural from the sag (thanks Game Theory!). Two versions here: One without lip and chin outlines and one with them, the lip outlines themselves now have smiles!

"But Aquarionoid you already did Mirai from Gundam Build Fighters Try!" True, but that doesn't bother me much. Plus I already gave Rin a second manip. I really should get around to make re-manipulations, I have plenty of pics I used for manips a couple years ago.

Cute work. Wish more models would model like that.
