I cleaned it up with a mouse, so it looks weird. Sorry about the anime style - I can't draw realistic very well, and I have no knowledge of muscle! Aw, I just realised that Trilby's fingers were covered up. They looked pretty good, too. XP
Comments? AJ looks like a poor businessman with a bowl-cut, and Simone's face is elooongated. Okay, I'll shut up now and let you talk. ^^

First of all, it's become a bit of a cliché to just line up the characters up on the poster capturing a facial gesture that expresses their personality, with their size proportional to their importance in the plot. Makes the poster sort of uninteresting. On an effective movie ad poster, you're supposed to put in some events of action, too, for the audience can have a glimpse of what to expect. Also, it makes the thing more dynamic.
Second, what happened to Trilby's chin? It looks seriously burnt or something. Also, his hat seems to be a bit small if we take the size of his head into the equation. Although I'm not 100% sure about that.
Third, which is only a really minor niggle, AJ had a moustache. So it took me a while to figure out who that bloke in the back was.
Otherwise, I really like your drawing style, mainly because the males look like they're indeed males, not like females without tits ('cept for Jim, maybe, now that I take a closer look), as can be seen in most anime fanart. Also, you draw the facial expressions very well, it reflects the characters' personalities nicely.

Okay.
Why do people find it so hard to draw trilbies? There are pictures of the damn things everywhere from all sorts of angles and with recent fashion trends you probably know at least one person who owns one. With the trilby fedora the brim dips at the front and rises at the back. What you have there is a fishing hat.
Trilby's collar is massive for someone who prides himself on his dress sense. A fastened collar should hug the neck pretty tightly. Definitely shouldn't be seeing any chest or collar bone.
AJ should have a moustache. And be, like, ten years older.
Jim looks like a girl.
Phil is too cute.
Simone's eyes look weird. Hard to describe. Like they're floating an inch off the front of her face.

I do not aim to piss you off with this, but that's what the hat looked like in your first game, only that that one was a little bit taller at the front. But you're right, this was bugging me as well about the picture, only I couldn't put my finger on what it was exactly before.

@Yahtzee: Ack, yeah, I need to work on my suits. Also, sorry about the hat - it's probably your favorite feature of Trilby.
@Thaluikhain: Haha, I did think he looked like a wasted Superman while drawing it.
About AJ, sorry - I only watched the first part with him running away for a reference. Something I thought was funny about the turnout of this picture was that I usually draw girls a LOT better and faster than guys. Weird...
Back to studying for finals!

I think this is probably due to that face you can see her eyebrows through her hair.
I like it very mucho, nice work Exrael.

I uploaded this on my sister's laptop, and the computer I used is Internet-less - therefore, no reference pictures of suits or whatnot. Just drawing from my memory, which sucked, apparently. X(

EDIT: Hang on, Jim did wear a short-sleeved shirt. My memory appears to be the crap one.

Sorry, but I'm a right 'bah humbug' around anime styled fan art. And Jim does indeed look like a girl.
Other than that you can draw damm well better than me, so keep it up.

My problems with it...
The welder's too much in the background, he looks like he's a stove, not a villain, and Trilby's trilby ain't a trilby. Also, I don't think he should have that stubble, but hey, spend five days cut off from the world... It's bound to happen. So good job there, I guess... I dunno, I suck at praise.
PM me, we'll talk.

Maybe, but we will always need more awesomely awesome fanarts, careless of their style.
