Thanks Jaline, curtishotgun!
To those calling me names just because I asked for a recommendation on typography instead of posting a penis photo or opening a thread about someone ripping on someone else's design.
I cant use an actual marker, this font will need to be embedded in a flash file on a dynamic generated content website.
Typographers around the globe take many years of theory, training and practice in order to come up with beautifully designed, readable, properly spaced functional typefaces, even if I had the speed to build an entire family in 5hrs, I certainly don't have the knowledge to do it. This is not a "write on paper and vectorize" sort of deal.

If you want to take it to the next level, you should really be handwriting in marker, then scanning. You'll be able to capture the spirit in a more interesting way, it'll look way more proprietary, and it won't rely on any kind of illusion, because it will have been actually hand written.
Each character will be different, which paints a much more realistic picture - it bothers me so much when I see people use a distressed font, and proceed to type a word like "DEER" without using alternates. Totally kills credibility. (google bed head's logo, etc)
