Post by: CrazyFoxMachine on 03 April, 2014, 12:13:01 AM
From March's second-place Jon Gibbons:

QuoteTHE DAY THE LAW DIED

The legendary Cal story (once immortalised by Hitchhiker's Dirk Maggs for BBC Radio (http://www.2000ad.org/?zone=prog&page=specials&choice=radio1)) is chock full of memorable moments - the sacrifice of Fergie, the tyranny of Cal, the menace of the Kleggs, the noble Deputy Chief Judge Fish.... it goes on. Confused - ? Get thee to the Future Shop and buy yourself a digital copy for only £5!! (http://shop.2000adonline.com/products/judge_dredd_the_day_the_law_died)

I know exactly what I want to do for this comp but it requires a far better grasp of perspective than I possess! Will give it a whirl anyway. Looking forward to seeing what others come up with.

I need to get my thinking cap on, have already done Judge Grampus for one comp and the Undercity for the last one so am running out of subject matter!
Hmmmm need to dig out the case files and get re-reading PDQ!

Fergie, Giant, Robo-Dredd, Guerilla warfare, Judge against Judge, Dredd's escape from the Titan shuttle, Cursed Earth Exodus, the building of the wall, mass executions.... Cal himself! Plus all the other stuff mentioned. Loads there. :D

I was only jesting on lack of subject matter, but you have just refreshed my memory to how much source material there is to draw from for inspiration! Eager and excited to get home from work and get reading and sketching!!

You're suggesting there's something frivolous about Judge Fish?

Cal wouldn't like that.

 No Trout about it, Judge Fish Cod be a popular choice. In fact Ide not be surprised if he made 1st Plaice. I'm not sure what I'll do yet, I'll have to Mullet over. Definitely giving this a go though, if only for the Halibut.

I'll get my coat.  :D

Ok so here is my entry - I call it, 'Cal's Arena'!! Had a quick brush up of the story and it struck me how much Cal is like Joaquin Phoenix's character in 'Gladiator' hence the arena. There's a few faces in the crowd you may recognise.
It is my intention to ink this piece but not sure if i'll have time so i'll enter it as pencil and 'If' I do manage to ink it i'll swap em over prior to voting.

Thanks all!! DD - not in today's economic climate, by my reckoning $6000'000's in 1973 is now worth around £2.50!  :D

Anyway - here's the inked version, think I am relatively happy with it although it should be said that I am not as proficient with a brush than I am with a pencil.

Not a lot at the moment. Have got a few fag packet sketches simply running through some ideas I have had. Realistically though will probably not get a chance to get anything down on (digital) paper until at least next week. In all honesty it will take some doing for anyone to top Steve's effort. Inked or not as I said previously it is amazing. And I could quite easily see a coloured version of that as a Starscan type 1 pager in the prog!

I was just jesting - no pressure. :D As I might have mentioned before I can't draw to save myself and therefore have a lot of admiration for those that can. There so many possibilities with the Cal saga (robo-Dredd, Slocum being pickled, the introduction of the Kleggs etc.) that my frustration at my own lack of talent bubbles through.

No it is too late now the bar has been set......I must succeed.....pressure too great...cannot fail :-\ ;)

Joking aside I never expect to ever win any of these. As cheesy as it sounds I just enjoy the taking part and also seeing what everyone else makes of the theme. Now I am drawing again it is just nice to have a different theme and challenge to inspire me to get creative!!

Because they're tasteless heathens Jayzus, that's why! However, I will have the last laugh when it inevitably takes top spot. Sadly Steve Austin has breached rule 14a, sub section b of CFM's complex compo rules that clearly state that entrants must be wearing a pretty floral hat and eating pickled onions when submitting entries.

And yup, Mr Fungus, that's the Commedians badge, well spotted sir by a true art lover. Great entry too, I trust the rules were adhered to when entering?

Thanks jon, high praise indeed, and although I don't consider myself to be anywhere near Bollands ability, the sentiment isn't lost on me and I thank you sir......I do love a bit of Bolland. :)

Absolutely love the Be All You Can Be vibe of those recruitment posters, allied, but your spelling's amoung the worst I've witnessed.

I am a terrible speller, it is true, not a great attribute in my line of work either.

Great style, I love it.  That very detailed, somewhat cartoony look makes me think I should be searching the page for Wally or five hidden objects!

RIGHT. Here is my first entry for quite some time - hope to inspire people out of my own ineptitude.

It's meant to be like... the current state of the Cal's influence... a bust in a crumbling museum abandoned after Chaos Day. SOB.

Nice!

Oddly I interpreted those scratch lines on the wall behind as movement lines. Ie. the bust is precariously punched and is about to topple...

...which also fits rather well.

Very nice allistermac. Slick  :)

And I suppose you might keep Kleggs on the top shelf, with those other mags...

Very good allistermac. I like a lot, you have really captured the character! CFM also like yours especially the expression on the bust (how can an drawing of an inanimate object have a face you would like to slap!).
I am struggling at moment to get mine completed before deadline, due to other commitments. Will have to have a big push this week now. :-\

I find that if I resize pictures to 750 pixels wide, they seem to fit the screen comfortably for everyone.

Deputy Chief Judge Fish.

I wasn't going to enter this month, way too much on my plate at the moment but the moment took me with this simple ink and digital piece.

Smashing work there Archie! That is off the 'scale'. I am sure it will make a 'splash' when everyone 'casts' their votes. You may even get first 'plaice'.
Right I will get my coat.......

amines admit it...you were just waiting for someone to post a Fish picture.

Link that sounds good to me but I appear to have lost his phone number, email, postal address.

No not at all, that would be making a rod for my own back.  ;) In all honesty though that is a seriously good picture you have there  :-[

Nice resourcing Archie. I love how new art is more and more like Alchemy (a chemistry of sorts) in it's proposition and production (as is with all art , I guess...).

This is called;-

Entrance to the Grand Hall with the help of friends old and new.

Whilst still reeling from the same thrill-sucker invasion that gave us Dead Meat, Trash and Mark Millar; TMO was struck by a bad case of nostalgics. In his weakened state Tharg commanded a re-visioning of The Day the Law Died told entirely from the point of view of the sensational break-out character find of 1978 - Judge Fish!

Fortunately these three panels are all that remain.

Great work from Hoagy, Archie, Steve Austin, Aimes and Allied as ever. It will be another toughie to vote for.
