Favourite CLASSIC art droid Round 1 - Carl Critchlow or Brett Ewins

[Colin YNWA]

Interesting. We've seen Carl Critchlow grow with us on the page as he developed his confidence, moved away from painted material and then started to produce some of the most imaginative, dynamic line art we have. Brett Ewins could have been said to have gone on a different trajectory as I'm not sure how popular this latter work was with readers? That said when drawing Rogue Trooper, Anderson, Dredd and of course Bad Company there haven't been many better.

Alas we still have to pick our favourite and to do so just pop the name of the art droid you'd most like to go through to Round 2, but please add anything else you'd like to say as well.

Rules for what they are worth

Anything else just ask and I'll make something up.

For head-cables and asymmetrical chaps with at least one strange eye; for the ability to imbue throwaway characters with personality and depth; for Judge Anderson's bum - Brett Ewins, my favourite artist ever.

I had forgotten about Critchlow's early painted work - I really liked it. He did a great Anderson story for IDW and he is criminally under used on Dredd.

But he is up against legendary Ealing artist Brett Ewins who gets my vote:

[abelardsnazz]

Brett Ewins, for Rogue, Anderson and Bad Company.

[Bolt-01]

Carl Critchlow.

[JayzusB.Christ]

Brett Ewins.  When he was good, he was very, very good.

[SmallBlueThing(Reborn)]

Brett Ewins. For Bad Company- one of the defining prog strips.

I've loved Critchlow's work from the White Dwarf days, and once he escaped the brown murk of the 90s his style only gets better. I rate his art on Lobster Random as a true classic of the modern era, and he draws great Mega-citizens too.

However Brett Ewins gave us Haunting of Sector House 9, The Wally Squad, the first Anderson Psi Div, The Possessed, Venus' bikini, Major Magnum and Bad Company. That's a resumé that takes some beating.

Brett all the way.

Lobster random is so under-rated. He's life goals.

So Carl.

[Link Prime]

Brett Ewins.

I've got a lot of time for Carl "Thrud" Critchlow's etchings, but my vote goes to Brett Ewins for the great memories of Dark Judges taking out the Reagan blockers, The Haunting of Sector House 9 and Bad Company.
