Title: 2000AD Nov/Dec Art Comp: Location, Location, Location
Post by: Jim_Campbell on 23 November, 2009, 11:25:02 AM
No ... not the C4 series with Winwood & Cord swapped for Phil and Kirsty, but, in the words of our worthy winner, Uncle Fester:

QuoteLandscapes and locations which could involve characters but merely as decoration. As well as sweeping vistas and cityscapes, you could include layouts for ships or other transport;

Transporters from Strontium Dog

The inside of Nemesis' ship Seth.

The interior of the Dark Judges Hall

Cloning Facility used to produce Dredd

and other such things that could be completely open to interpretation.

Nice one, Unc!

Remember, there's absolutely no reason why you can't have characters in your entry, but they need to be logical to the location, be it Deadworld, Tir Nan Og, Downlode, Mega-City One, the cockpit of the Speedo Ghost, the cells of the High Rock, or any one of the hundreds of other memorable locations that 2000AD's stories have spawned.

I know that Christmas is a bit fraught for a lot of boarders, so this competition will run until Sunday 27th December -- that's six weeks, folks! -- with the usual voting period kicking off from Monday 28th.

Cheers!

Jim

Jim and chance of an extension of the closing date..... I've not even finished the penciling yet! It's going to take ages to try and ink a Celtic berserker, a dwarf and dozen or so skull swords, a Feg, a horse a wild boar and a couple of the undead with the odd sword thrown in. Oh and a crow! None of which I have drawn before!

And with everyone producing shithot advent entries and with chribo coming up can we not extend it until maybe the 31st of the month??

Yeah. Go on, then, we'll stick a week on it ... New Deadline: SUNDAY JAN 3rd 2010

A chill blows through the Land of the Young. In the great round hall, one of Slaine's indentured concubines shivers against the cold while his high priest prepares a blood sacrifice, praying for portents of his monarch's return. The throne stands empty, awaiting its true occupant, who is on yet another quest.

The hall echoes with silence. Tir Nan Og awaits the one whom the goddess has chosen...

This is The Hall of the Absent King

Nice work, chaps! LMS:  You've captured the old feeling that's sadly gone from Slaine. Very nice indeed.
Mangamax: Fan-bleeding-tastic.  May I suggest a photo from a different angle though? Looking up from the citizens' perspective would make it really, really good.  Easier said than done I suppose.

Totally pinching one of Massimo's Slaine panels - but what a panel. Am always stunned at the amount of detail and effort he put into even something as simple as a linking image like this, and its always been one of my favourites.
Even more appreciative of his talent after doing it - took chuffin' ages

Ah the big, bad Mega-City 1. Painted in photoshop over a period of a few days and still not completed! The Dredd poster is one of my old paintings I scanned in and then mucked about with it using different layer styles+ fading it off a bit. Might get a little more done but at this time of year obviously other things tend to interrupt you.

The Sourlands - like it!  Always thought it was one of the best Slaine locations - actually maybe Slaine is back to being an adventurer, Pat Mills should start dreaming up a few new inventive ones?

Deadline extension ... just in case you missed the stickied post announcing it!

Due to Festive Fatigue, and the efforts put into the Advent thread, we're bumping the Art Comp into January to give everyone a chance to recover and then get scribblin' once again.

New deadline: 31st Jan 2010, with voting running until the following Saturday (6th Feb) and results up on the Sunday.

Cheers!

Kev's Dredd phone card illustration and Ralph McQuarrie's ESB production paintings were key.

Thanks for the generous critique folks.

EMP, I have a blog but in the middle of giving it a bit of a tidy up, new year, new broom and all that. Will put an address up next week.

Super :)

I haven't seen Alcala's work to be honest. And Jim - douchebag is Finnish for 'warm fuzzy brother'. I meant it in that sense, obviously. Thanks for the comments guys.

He's probably best known to English-speakers as an inker, having done an extended run inking Rick Veitch on Swamp Thing, and John Buscema on various Conan stories.

There are links to a selection of his own work at the top of this page (http://www.alanguilan.com/museum/alfredo.html).

Might darken some areas, and hopefully colour it too.

I like it and i would like to see it reversed to white on black.I prefer the B+W rather than the colored version and it looks a bit like a linocut which was popular in the 1950s.

My entry is a direct copy of a panel that is page 4 of the final episode of Meltdown Man.It was just an exercise in inking and pontilising so no points for originality.Its all done with brushes.It still needs some figures in it too.

Who can tell i am obsessed ?

But thats the point isnt it ?

You could say that because i have been doing it constantly.I am trying to become more fluid with the brush because the more fluid and fast you are with the brush the better the effect is.It took long enough to find brushes i like working with and i only use Pro Arte series 107 spotter brushes now.Its all about learning how to control the brush which hasnt been easy.


Its shellac based ink on ivory board.The ink is very fast drying and if you slip up somewhere you can scrape the ink off the board using a very fine scalpel blade and go over it again.

Thanks for the feedback everyone who left some.
