Title: Alex Ross Paints Dredd
Post by: Tomwe on 07 May, 2021, 10:00:45 AM
For those who haven't seen this on Twitter yet this morning (https://mobile.twitter.com/thealexrossart/status/1390535052879147011)
What's the chance Tharg can talk the man around with this as the cover, like he did for the other week's Dermot Power piece.

Not being too familiar with the US side of comics, I have to admit I had his brother Bob in my head when I opened this thread, and was very confused.

But yeah, I know the guy now.  He's awesome and that's a lovely piece of work.

It'd be awesome if Alex gets to draw a cover of a potential Dredd epic.

I really like how he's captured Dredd's aged and grizzled skin.  I know there's been rejuve jobs and all, but I like my Dredd looking weathered.

Something about the roundness of the chin and the tilt of the head makes me think he used Ron Smith's Dredd as reference material and added the older look.

Very nice picture, but them I'm a big fan of Ross. It would be interesting to see the whole uniform.
