@Emperor If it didn't feel like cheating, I might be tempted to go for a redraw with the Rechtpanzer! Is it cheating? Are there rules for this stuff?
Technically I consider being able to drew so well as cheating but then so many people in this thread would be guilty of this crime only Dredd himself would have the energy to bring you all in.
@Mhengla: If you think you are of negligible artistic talent, you might like to try 'drawing on the right hand side of the brain' (book and workshops based on the book). Many people who thought they didn't have artistic talent really surprised themselves after trying this technique. I took a course and it improved my artwork tremendously.
Hello everyone. I heard of this challenge on the 2000AD blog and decided to give it a shot. Man, there's so many awesome and creative entries! Mine's a bit boring, though. I tried to go with a riot-police vibe, a simpler, high-tech suit, and more of a "faceless" look. I didn't want to get too adventurous on it, so that's why I kept some of the original colors here and there. I have a little mental list of the suit's specifications but it'd be too long and boring, hah. So, yeah. Thanks for looking!
@Flabyo I'd bet my willy we are going to see more Dredd toys than you can shake a stick at next year. We are in the slack time before the momentum really builds for the film as old licenses will have largely lapsed and new ones are being negotiated (you'd have to assume). It is a bit too early at the moment but the announcements will surely start to roll out soon.
Also the 3A deal must surely involve a fancy Dredd action figure at some point, I'd imagine they are just building up to it, so it drops closer to the film.
Excellent.I will never look at my old Dredd annuals in my bathroom the same again.I think my earliest one is from 1982.That's going back in time.Drokk!!!
Incredible work by all. Just brilliant. @chris g - Love the details and the spiked cup/codpiece, but I've got to say, what really does it for me is the nipple on the armour plating. Classic.
Molcher FBed the thread link earlier this week - it's moved on apace since then.
My last attempt at something like this was to put Dredd on a skysurfing board.
This time it's Feudal Japan - I made the same connection Mr. Sizer did - somewhere between Akira Kurosawa and Colin MacNeil you might find Samurai Joe.
My earlier entry got nuked by Russian malfiends, so have reworked it a bit. Art skillz are highly rough these days, which we're working on, but I couldn't resist the Dredd/Holden crossover...
