Love that Jock one, those squiggles on the chin are the biz. When you watch him do that you wonder what he sees as there is nothing but the aforementioned squiggles, then all of a sudden Dredd appears.

That's what I noticed when he did mine at one of the Dreddcon's.

I noticed the exact same thing, didn't help I was looking at it upside down either. I was thinking "what the hell is he doing" and next thing I know Dredd was on the page.

He's eyes lit up when I asked him to draw me a Dredd though. Everyone else was asking for a Batman or Constantine and when I put my sketch book infront of him he asked what I would like, I told him his choice either Batman or Dredd. He's eyes lit up like I said and he just went "Can I do you a Dredd"? lol. I was like Hell Ye!

Here are some of the sketches I managed to get whilst at Kapow. Hope you all like

Me and the wife are doing a trip of California for our honeymoon this year ending in a 4 day stop in San Diego, the 4 days just happen to be the exact 4 days comic-con is on. (I had nothing to do with that little coincidence i swear lol).

We've got our 4 day tickets booked. Nice to know there will be some 200AD fans making the trip.

Ooooh! That's a bit of a bummer! One of my main reasons for going!
Still, with all the 2000ad artists in attendance it should still be a good couple of days!

Doesn't sound good! 

Hope the report's wrong!

Don't take any notice of me, I'm just saying what I see

Just seen the latest announcment from IGN UK's twitter:

"The latest addition to the @KapowComicCon line-up is Dr Who writer, and League of Gentleman's @MarkGatiss. He'll be doing 'An Audience with"

I actually meant walking distance not buses but cheers anyway people.

I did a route finder and it said 10-15min on foot so it cant be that bad.

Not long now!

P.S:

I'm staying at Travelodge, Kings Cross. Is that close enough to the Con do people think? (Bit late to do anything about it if it isn't lol)

Full line up is expected to be announced this week people 

Cheers, hadn't seen that thread

Hi All,

I actually managed to talk my wife into letting us be in San Diego on our honeymoon during Comic-Con weekend. We've got the tickets and hotel book and was just wondering if 2000AD is going to be there in any form (I know it was there a little last year). I'll be in any panels showing my support for the galaxys greatest.

Is anyone making the treck to San Diego for Comic-Con this year?

Sorry if this has been mentioned elsewhere but I've looked and can't see it.

Is anyone going? I know that there is a 2000AD panel on the Saturday morning but what else does 2000AD have planned for the Con? Any ideas?

Cheers Mardroid.
You hit the nail on the head Usher. I've wrote a couple of 5 page strips that I intended as Future Shocks that never felt right so I decided to go all out with this one and see what comes of it. The title is definatly a work in progress as well.

If anyone can suggest some artists who may be up for helping with a submission it would be a big help.

Hi mardroid,

I wasn't thinking of using this as a 2000AD submission. I've wrote a couple of 5 page Future Shock style stories and just figured I'd try something a little different with this.
Now I'm just looking for an artist to take it to the next step and see what happens. Thanks for the hints anyway.

Hi All,

I've been working on a script that I'm looking to use for some submissions (I'm going to some conventions over the summer), or at the very least (and probably most importantly) just to have some fun with, and I am looking for an artist to team with. The story is called Journey Through Hell. I'll write a small synopsis:

"Journey through hell tells the story of Robert Hudson from the moment he arrives in hell and his trials and tribulations when he gets there. Starting from the moment he arrives in hell by falling from the sky and landing hard at the gates of hell. When Robert gets his thoughts together makes a run for it. Could he be the first person in millennia to actually escape the clutches of hell?

The story will tell of Robert's struggle to escape hell. At first the reason he is in hell is a mystery but is revealed very early on. Although it is debatable if Robert deserves to be in hell, some of the characters he meets (and is forced to accept help from) most defiantly deserve to be in hell."

The first script is for 10 pages. Hopefully I've caught an artists eye.
Anyone interested can either leave a message on here or just send me a message and I'd be happy to send them the script to have a look.

Michael

Hi people,

This seems like a good a place as any to make this topic.
Me and a friend have been working together on this little story (me writing and him drawing/ lettering). We've finally decided to put it online so Ifigured I'd post the link so you will all hopfully check it out and let us know what you think (good or bad).

The plot is like so:

Harry Fox is a detective. Famous for some of the cases he's solved; he's a minor celebrity. However every night he is kept awake with a mystery he will probably never know the answer to; how will he die?

Hope you all enjoy.
