JUNE ART COMP - 2000 AD BABIES & ELDSTERS

Shouldn't Tharg be in the middle.

You're not happy with your mate Slaine in the middle? 

Sure, I love them all really, but Tharg is the head editor!

I chose to paint Dredd even though he is already well into his sixties, possibly even seventies? I can imagine Dredd continuing to dish out justice well into his eighties so here he is depicted as an octogenarian.

Fantastic work, Al---almost 3-D.

I think Dredd is in his 70s [wasn't  he 'born' around 2060?] and it's the early 2130s in the strip timeline.

Love that Dredd. Could do with being maybe a little more craggy, but then he may end up looking like the Dead man.... It's awesome as is.

Thanks ModsAndDrokkers & Darren Stephens. I tried to find Dredd's age online and got a few different results, his Wiki says he's 66 but I seem to remember working it out as early 70's a little while back. I started off pretty craggy and he looked like a cross between the dead man and boris karloff's 'Mummy'!

For anyone that might be interested I put together a step by step of my process to create the illustration: Here

This feels a bit po-faced compared to the previous, excellent, entries. But this has been in my head since I read the new challenge...

Deedeetee, I kid you not, that is almost EXACTLY what I had in mind!  Glad I didn't have time to do it yet as that is really nicely done!

Thank you.

it's good, 'hard' sci-fi stuff, Deedee---I expected to see a whole load of comedy satires for this thread, so how wrong could I be!

What I imagined was someone just drawing Dredd as the OAP he is, which wasn't far off
