2000AD Original Art Thread

Glad you like it!  The detail Colin lavished on these early strips is really impressive (and the pages I have are pretty huge, around 38 x 56cm).  The thing I like best about his work is the fact that solid-looking tech and loose, free-flowing linework sit side by side so comfortably.  The shading under Dredd's elbow in that centre-left panel is just beautiful...

I may as well throw in a better pic of this Rogue page while I'm at it (apologies if I already posted this but I can't keep track of this thread these days):

Colin Wilson has been underused as a Dredd artist. Does a mean MC-1. Draws the best interskeds, skedways, underskeds, overskeds etc.

That Rogue page is stunning. I love the Wilson droid's early stuff, it really goes above and beyond the call of duty!

Peel it off! Do it NOW!

Use steam to make it peel naturally! You have a duty to find out!

Not gonna do it ....

Right Brain Boxes who drew this ??? 2000 AD Annual 1980 "The Man Who Saved the World"

This is one of the reference pages I used when deciding on the dimensions for Temight Replicas biochips.

Maaaan- I'd forgotten how great Colin Wilson's early black and white art was. Simply stunning! I may need to go rummage through all those dusty progs....

[Spikes]

Yep, Colin's earlier work is something else, isnt it. He was one of those artists that seemed to arrive fully formed, and certainly hit the ground running. Became an instant fan of Colin's work.
Jammy jammy Ming,

I can't compete with all this fabulous stuff but here's some bits I picked up at The London Film & Comic Con this month. Check out the non-2000 ad thread for more great swag I got.


I picked up the finished Kev Hopgood commission. He explained that he did a rough pencil sketch, scanned it and digitally inked it. Printed it out and added a grey wash by hand. It's brilliant.


Chris Weston tries out a new pastel style on black paper.


Roger Langridge comes up trumps again with this awesome piece. Check out the small details like the sam shoulder eagle and the SP on piggy's badge.


Steve Baskerville was amazingly cranking out sketches like this for free!

This are from my camera phone and better scans will be put up on CAF.
