Hey Sypher nice work!

[Dark Jimbo]

Wow, how are those coloured? Particularly like the top one, very creepy.

[sypher]

thanks for the replies :)
There colured digitally pencilled on paper then scanned in.
I entered the 14-18 age group i think it was?

[sypher]

These were the storylines behind each one (incase u see it in an upcoming prog :P)

z66 was a line of robots to help with security for mega city one, but shortly before production was finished the factory blew up leaving only z66 an unfinished cyborg prototype the only one remaining. But his mind hasnt been wiped and the past hosts brain still controls the cyborg, seeking revenge on the one who killed him dredd...

And this was the chef story

Before opening the city renowned restraunt Mr. Mason was a bodyguard, after serving a few years in a block he got the idea off another inmate about a delicacy which would have the city going crazy for more.
After being released he set at opening his restraunt and serving up the special. Business was booming and employees were going missing which the judges are taking notice of...

"I could see him as some mad bomber villain. Just a random nutjob: he'd do well as someone trying to claim the most deaths in a single evening (life "lefty" from The Graveyard Shift)."


Wasn't he in Serial Killer?

[Bart Oliver]

This is what I entered. Some of you will have already seen these images elsewhere on the site*.

Judge Ustus Tate-Roscoe

It's 2084 and the civil war continues between Mega-Cities One and Three.

Judge Ustus Tate thrives on conflict. Considered by his superiors in the MC3 Justice Dept
to be a necessary evil in the battle for independence, Tate is beyond redemption,
amoral, egocentric and utterly ruthless.

A psychopath with a silver star.

Notes

UTR was originally intended to be a character in a fan thrills strip for the 2000adonline
web site. See attached page art.

Inspiration for UTR comes from Mike McMahon's "A scene from the civil war in post-atomic
America" cover poster Prog 169 July 1980 and Judge Dredd's Timeline on the 2000adonline web site.

*UTR has also appeared on 2000adonline Message Board Member
Woolly's "Design-a-Baddie Competition" Thread 8566 March 2004.

After deciding the character might be appropriate for the competition I rushed off the text and
outputs a couple of days before the deadline.

(to be honest I don't think the prop even reached the Nerve Centre on time.. but that's by-the-by)

In retrospect the idea of yet another crooked Texan Judge is wholly unoriginal- coupled with
a retro Mega-Cities civil war backstory I can't see how it could have been effectively worked
into a six page strip if at all.

Good fun though ;)

Loving the pencils, Bart.

[Matt Timson]

Stop making excuses, man- you failed.  That's the bottom line, Hat-boy*.

*crap Bristol in-joke...

[WoD]

So...WHO'S entry HAVEN'T we seen then...

JEB must have submitted one...

Hmm......

[Matt Timson]

Didn't have the time.  Plus I'm always deemed to be cheating anyway...

;)

[stuhenry]

Really good storytelling skills Bart!

[Dark Jimbo]

This is one of my entries, basically an excuse for me to draw a valkyrie and have a go at a judge's uniform for the first time.

It would be something along the lines of Judge Kara having recurring strange dreams, and visits by a talking cursed earth raven (assuming they still exist!) until eventually she gets taken over by this strange supernatural power and turns into this, and starts going round the city killing those she deems worthy to join the gods (mainly judges, of course) with her magical spear (?).
Probably far too much for five pages, but I had fun.http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a113/Darkjimbo2/Kara.jpg">

[Dark Jimbo]

Here's the least serious of the lot, basically an excuse for me to draw a big stompy steampunk robot. The little guy (excuse the crap drawing) is Henry Jingo Gladstone, unemployed inventor, and founder and president of the Mega-City One Sector 32 Steampower appreciation society. He goes mad, builds this guy, and bingo! - much stompiness ensues!http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a113/Darkjimbo2/Rocket.jpg">
