AUGUST ART COMP - VOTING THREAD

[Leigh S]

1st: Stuartcatley: Justice Has a Price -  Bonus points for this being the first and as others have pointed out, looking like a piece of published work acting as a guide to how to do things! Very Jocky B&W Dredd is always a good thing

2nd: Andy Lambert: Purity or Death - Hard to choose between these two Nemesis based ones - Great colour on this and the use of a certain face for Torque himself puts me in mind of later Nemesis - just the sort of thing we would have seen from the Hicklenton Era of the strip, when Torq's previous incarnations became a thing.  But with that it also evokes the classic O'Neill stuff too. Topped off with a nice quote from the man himself. 

3rd: AllisterMac: Smite for Termight - talking of evoking O'Neill! Love the illustrated border and the little details, particularly the crucified Warlock on the "T" - lovely!

[Neil McClements]

1. James Newell - He's Watching You.

2. Stuart Catley - Justice Has a Price.

[Dark Jimbo]

Another one who's not voted in a while. Now I remember why - it's bloody hard!

1 - Leigh S - Just f'ing good draughstmanship, basically, married to a really good idea.

2 - Neil McClements - I love this so much. Pure design work (as opposed to artwork) and it works beautfully for this month's topic. Love the bold, brave red and blue. As Beeks said, about as close to an actual wartime poster as you can get!

3 - allied72-1 - (Citi-Def Recruitment Poster) - I love entries that think outside the box a bit and don't necessarily resort to the 'big' characters. It's a cute poster and the uniform design is fantastic!

HMs in no particular order - Albion/Sefton, Allistermac, deedeetee, james Newell, philtactics.

[Echidna]

Loads of great draughtsmanship on display, as always! Really hard to choose a top three, let alone a winner, so it came down to concept, design and typography:

1st: Leigh S
2nd: Neil McClements
3rd: Philtactics

HMs: stuartcatley, Simon Prime, james newell, Dark Jimbo, allistermac

[Darren Stephens]

[stuartcatley]

I have a feeling that despite winning the popular vote on the FB page, a win (and potentially even a top 3 spot) still eludes me.

It's all just a popularity contest if you ask me
