Dredd (2012)

the helmet looks too small...

It's getting bored and old.

the helmet looks too small...

On the contrary. The helmet looks the best its ever been seen.

It's called sarcasm.

Glad someone noticed I wasn't being serious.  It was more a comment at all the 'helmet is too big' comments all over the internet from the dark pics we had seen previously - as soon as we see a decent picture it looks spot on and perfect.

Jesus. I knew it was sarcasm and used it as a segway for also mentioning how I thought the helmet looked as I'd omitted to in the previous post. So I came in with " on the contrary"? So?

That said, it is a statement contrary to what was said, be it sarcasm or an actual statement. If you want icons maybe lead with them. And maybe, just maybe Goaty right, but please don't think of that one of mine is a kneejerk reaction. If I had a moustache puckering icon at my disposal perhaps you could have seen I was in the know as it were. Christ. I hate the internet sometimes.

...Christ. I hate the internet sometimes....

Hard to judge the 'tone' sometimes alright.

[Toni Scandella]

It can be, so apologies.  No snarkiness intended, George Dread.

[Hoagy]

Thanks. I thought I was to be judged by my rant. No problem Tony. Maybe being frustrated at how the internet works is a bit off topic.

[Goaty]

Seeing that I think it does make him seem a bit bigger and more intimidating

Dredd: Freeze, punks!

Crim: Oh man, he looks pretty intimidating!

Dredd: Drokk! These new shoulder pads are too big and I can't raise my arms.

*Crim kicks Dredd's chin off*

Surely that would just break his foot?

No that would be RICO with his metal chin.

I wonder how (or if) the film uniform will affect the way artists draw the character?

Given that several* still do the Stallone collars, probably.

Flinty's already started rounding the shoulder pad. 




*I've got my eye on you, Holden.

Ben Willsher has drawn similar gauntlets and Utility Judges featuring chest-pads with straps.

[Steve Green]

There's been a noticeable tinting of the whole.

My take on it is, use what works but it's pointless to slavishly copy all aspects of something that has been modified once to work in another medium when you're going back to where it started.

Otherwise we're going to end up with H-Wagons replaced with 4x4s rented from Avis.

[Stan]

I can forgive most things as long as the helmet is a 'U' shape rather than a rounded 'V' like Dredd spends his spare time picking rice.

[JOE SOAP]

Brendan McCarthy is drawing you naked with no helmet.

[Spaceghost]

Chris Blythe started colouring Dredd's visor all black (instead of the old school 'two-tone' version) shortly before we saw the first ever movie pic. It's always all black now.

Nice last line 

[Adrian Bamforth]

I quite like a V-shaped helmet (oo-er missus)... Nothing wrong with the U version of course, though I often find some artists forget that the helmet is supposed to provide some kind of padding, while allowing the skin to breathe, are if not just part of Dredd's head. With the helmet on for so many hours of the day I fear he would look like some kind of unmasked Vadar creature underneath.
