Bit of a change of rules this month as we've had so many entries outstanding entries - -
Please vote for one FIRST, one SECOND, one THIRD, one FOURTH and one FIFTH place - first will get 5 points, second two points, third one point and so on.
The vote is decided by total points accumulated overall. You can honourably mention up to five other entries and these HMs are used to decide on tied scores so use them wisely and be aware that saying "all other entries" or suchlike won't be counted and therefore won't be helpful to anyone - the final voting deadline is THIS SATURDAY at midnight GMT.

HM - Eamonn1961, Larf, Philtactics, MrLongtheArtist, amines2058
My five have been chosen mainly by originality within the subject, there are too many brilliant standard interpretations in this competition to chose from :D
1) Hoagy (I love this...it reminds me of original artwork by Ian Miller...even down to the simple text...love it)
2) James Newell (Proper laughed when I saw this and brilliantly executed...top notch)
3) James Dilworth (The only artist who addressed pre-death and boy did he do it well)
4) Paul Moore (I love this slightly toned down movie version and exactly how I thought Death could look like on the big screen)
5) Albion1 (Being an aging DJ I had to include this in my top 5...great idea and top notch application)
Awesome comp this month.
1) Andy Lambert Dark Judges - Dynamic and moody with bonus points for best Mortis face.
2) SKD Mortis - Gruesome in its detail. Lovely.
3) Neil McClements4 Fear - That is some next level shit, right there.
4) Steve Austin Dark Judges - Imposing, stand-out characters (would have liked to see more Mortis though)
5) Paul Moore Movie Judge Death - Simply wonderful.
HM Hoagy, Leigh S, Philtactics, MrLongtheArtist, Rugers
Every time I scroll down, I thought "That's the one". And then there was more. TOO MANY.
1. James Newell - Fear and Dredd
2. BrotherGrotusk - Death
3. MrLongtheArtist - Even death can dream
4. Neil McClements4 - Fear
5. Jack O'Kelly - Dark Judges
HM: Dark Jimbo
Paul Moore
And I gave up on the HM because it became nearly as long as my arm.
Incredibly hard to choose so after much thought.
1. SKD - Mortis. Amazing lines! One of my favourite artists and never disappoints.
2. Steven Austin - Dark Judges. That Death is bloomin fantastic.
3. Paul Moore - Movie Judge Death. Great figures, beautifully illustrated.
4. James Dilworth - Sidney. Just glorious, the evil smirk and deathly look in them eyes are so well done.
5. Andy Lambert - Dark Judges. Wouldn't be out of place in the prog.
HM's
1. Fiona Boniwell - Nausea
2. IAMTHESYSTEM - Dark Judges
3. james newell - Fear and Dredd
4. MrLongtheArtist - Even Death Can Dream
5. tombonin - Dredd v Death
Great month and as others have said those 10 choices above have been difficult to place and could have looked different quite easily. There are plenty left off the list that could easily have made it in but there was so much great art to choose from. It seems the theme struck a chord with the regulars and brilliantly brought in many new faces who'll hopefully stick around all year to contribute further.
What a competition this month has been :o
1. Andy Lambert: Dark Judges - 5 points
2. Fiona Boniwell: Nausea - 4 points
3. Dark Jimbo: Dark Gunderson - 3 points
4. Neil McClements: Fear - 2 points
5. James Dilworth: Sidney - 1 point
HM's - Leigh S: Dark Judges; Tombonin: Dredd v Death; Rugers: Death is a Law; Mr Long the Artist: Even Death can dream; Dommi Kearley2: Death.
There could have been 5 or 6 more HM's such was the quality of the enteries. Z
Ps would have loved to have seen Mimikeke's effort.

That wasn't easy. Amazing overall standard, I'm going to have to try a LOT harder next month...
What a brilliant monthly chore :)
1st Moy-a A Nice Day In Spring
2nd James Newell Fear and Dredd
3rd James Dilworth Sidney
4th SKD Mortis
5th Hoagy Dark Days
Bloomin' heck it would have been a bloody good competition with just the pictures of Judge Mortis! I'm no fan of the Dark Judges these days but that was exceptional. Getting it to 5 was tough, deciding the order of those five even harder. Ask me on another day and I'm sure I'd have a completely different set of results BUT
1st Paul Moore: Movie Death - No just Prog worthy but would stand out as excellent even there
2nd Tombonin: Dredd vs Death - something about the way Death is posed is so damned creepy!
3rd James Dilworth: Sidney - how evil does he look!
4th Neil Clements 4: Fear - Love them all so had to pick one
5th Stu 101: Mortis Strikingly different and scary
HM Neil Clements 1, 2 and 3 as they didn't get in my final vote and James Newell
1st: SKD – Judge Mortis is bloody frightening and has a big scary head.
2nd: james newell – Ian Gibson-esque and a great idea.
3rd: Moya-a – Horrible and yet poetic.
4th: Andy Lambert – Classic image of the boys.
5th: Fiona Boniwell – Original choice and stylish re-imagining.
HM – eamonn1961, Rugers, Steven Austin, stuart catley
1. SKD - Mortis Morbid and funny.
2. Andy Lambert - Dark Judges Wonderful atmosphere and lighting.
3. Fiona Boniwell - Nausea So much energy.
4. MrLongtheArtist - Even Death Can Dream So much joy.
5. Neil McClements2 - Fire A new spin on an old classic (I wish I'd thought of it first :D).
HM's - Steven Austin, James Newell, Dark Jimbo
Tricky.
Okay:
1 = Larf
2 = Moy-a
3 = Neil McClemnts - Fear
4 = Andy Lambert
5 = eamon1961
VERY hard to decide 5 out of this lot.
In order to choose 5 I decided to vote for those which I felt were artistically fresh and those which gave me a window to a world I would to see more of.
Therefore:
1. Rugers
2. Steve Austin
3. James Dilworth
4. Brother Grotusk
5. Fiona Boniwell
HMs to Mr.longtheartist and Nic Freeman
However, ALL submissions were excellent in my humble opinion and I hope to see more submissions from everyone in next months comp!
The standard this month was ridiculously high. Absolutely amazing. The subject matter was inspiring (great call Neil) and absolutely everyone rose to the task at hand.
1. SKD - Mortis. This has absolutely everything going for it, subject matter, composition, application and a wicked sense of the grotesque. Out of the park.
2. Tombonin - Dredd V Death. Love the looseness of this, along with the unnatural pose of Death. Scary.
3. Fear - Neil McClements. What can be said about his man that hasn't been said already. He could win it every month. This is the best of his four. Just beautiful. Tharg give this man a job already, will ya ?
4. James Dilworth - SSSSSidney. A wonderful portrait of the artist as a young man. Wicked.
5. Larf - Red Death. A communist Death ? Love it. Wonderful drawing and colouring too.
HMS: I am the system, Leigh S, Fiona Boniwell, Paul Moore.....ah everyone...love it.
Man, what a turn out. Is this some sort of record? Anyway, on to the voting....
1: Steven Austin. Mind blowingly good drawing.
2: SKDs Mortis. Ditto.
3: LARF. Brilliant twist and superbly drawn
4: Fiona Boniwell, Nausea. Very striking.
5: Neil McClements2 - Fire
HMs go to Paul Moore - Movie Judge Death and Neil McClements4 - Fear
This list is how I chose this evening. I dare say if I chose tomorrow, I'd choose totally different entries, such was the calibre this month. Oh, and I hope all you new boarders stick around for next months comp. And the months after....!
5? Only 5?
Which idiot thought of that... ::)
Ah well, I'll attempt it:
1st Place: Steven Austin - Dark Judges
I'd be applauding this if it was in the Prog, let alone the art competitions. Would be perfect as a poster prog.
2nd Place: SKD - Mortis
More prog-worthy work. Love the wet spine dangling from the corpse, and love SKD's style as usual.
3rd Place: james newell - Fear and Dredd
At first glace, this is a clever cartoon with an even more clever punch-line. At a closer look, its an incredibly well inked piece of art.
Dredd himself is astounding - not a line out of place. Brilliant stuff.
4th Place: Andy Lambert - Dark Judges
Now this is lush! Really brings out the sheer horror of them all - Fire looks amazing!
5th Place: LARF - Red Death
Probably the most original of the bunch, and a great re-design. The colours make it a really striking image.
Honourable Mentions:
1: James Dilworth - Sidney
Instantly recognisable as Sidney, which is no mean feat considering how he normally looks! Prog cover worthy.
2. amines2058 - Death
Some lovely inks here. If I didn't know better I'd say this was by Clint Langley, which is a Very Good Thing.
3. Leigh S - Dark Judges
This would make another great poster-prog. Or a print. (I hope yer reading this, Tharg! ;))
Apologies:
Everyone else. Really. EVERYONE else. You all deserved a vote, and some that I voted for deserved higher places. I applaud you all.
Ok firstly I must just concur with what everyone else has said - the standard this month has been incredibly high and the top 5 doesn't REALLY reflect the standard of work as many should be standing side by side within a ratings scale and not above or below BUT it is what it is and I have had to pick my fav five so as of NOW they are.
1. SKD - Mortis (This has actually been at the top of my list the whole way through, lovely lovely traditional work beautifully executed).
2. Neil McClements - Fear (Having loved all of Mr McClement's Dark Judges this one really popped for me, love the scratchiness of his line work on this - it suit Fear perfectly and extra points for the originality).
3. Tombonin - Dredd vs Death (I am a fan of line work first and foremost and love the looseness of this piece, I also really dig the unnatural pose of Death almost laid across Dredd - I can smell his rancid breath from here).
4. James Dilworth - Sidney (Love the simplicity of this piece which works so well because o James' brilliant execution, great characterisation, lovely intense colours and textures. Beautiful work.
5. Andy Lambert - Dark Judges (Beyond the great painting I love the composition of this piece, Fire looks fanatastic and I love the head of Mortis.
SM - SO many but here are a few - Iamthesystem, James Newell, Mrlongartist etc etc etc.
A stunning turn out with awesome contributions I had started one but time was re allocated to the new baby in the house. I'll hopefully be able to finish something later in the year :D
1- Andy Lambert - Dark Judges
2- Steve Austin - Dark Judges
3- Paul Moore - Movie Judge Death
4- SKD - Mortis
5- Neil McClements2 - Fire
I feel this needs redressing a bit...
1 - SKD - Mortis
2 - SKD - Mortis
3 - SKD - Mortis
4 - SKD - Mortis
5 - SKD - Mortis
Best thing ever.
I will fight you on this, Owen!
As everyone says too many excellent images to choose from.
But if I have to choose:
1- SKD Mortis
2- Neil Mc Clements- Fear
3- Paul Moore- Death updated
4-Dark jimbo- Gunderson
5-Darren Stephens - great Death gag
The votes are in from sunny California and shitballs, that was a touch choice:
1. SKD - Mortis
2. James Newell - Fear and Dredd
3. Paul Moore - Movie Death
4. Neil McClements4 - Fear
5. MrLongtheartist - Even Death Can Dream
HM's: Larf's Red Death, Moy-A's Nice Day In Spring and Steven Austin's Dark Judges. Great month for entries, folks. Great stuff.
Sorry apologies I've been a dope. Can I alter my last vote 5 to James Newell it was his Death gag and not Darren Stephens, whose work deserves a HM by the way!

I will fight you on this, Owen!
I'll only count that as a single vote.
Your move ;)
Yes just the one for Mr Newell in 5th position please. It was a simple mistake putting the wrong name down they were both on the short list!
Yes no worries BrotherGrotusk!

Hi there,
Don't think I've posted on a forum before!!
Anyway...
1st
james newell - Fear and Dredd
(Just brilliant)
2nd
Andy Lambert - Dark Judges
3rd
Neil McClements3 - Death
(All his entries are brilliant but this just inspires me to wanna draw)
4th
Leigh S - Dark Judges
5th
Moy-a - A Nice Day in Spring
Amazing stuff all
Massive respect to everyone that put in that much effort, it's harsh having to decide out of all those and everyone should get a prize as they say. However it's with much chewing of nails that I've gone for:
1st - Steve Austin - Dark Judges. I'm a sucker for the classic gothic style & all it's terrifying glory.
2nd - Fiona Boniwell - Nausea. That knocks it out of the park, horrifying and utterly beautiful. Only comes 2nd as it's just the one Dark Judge... sorry :(
3rd - Andy Lambert - Dark Judges. An incredible amount of work has gone into this. Mortis is outstanding!
4th - Allistermac - Fire. A stunning & eye catching image that brings reality leaping off the screen.
5th - Dark Jimbo - Judge Gunderson. Great vision and something we all would like to see face Dredd down one day?
HM's; Neil McClements'; -Fire, -Mortis, -Fear, -Death in that order.
Bravo to you all!

Okaaayy non-subscribers 2000ad day voting.
1] Andy Lambert. Ace posturing, painting and working of lighting throughout.
2] SKD. Posturing, lighting, 2000ad ethos, the lot. If I wasn't casting ensembles in front of singular pin-ups this'd be on top.
3] James Newell. Wonderful humour. You can see this as some kind of insert in the annuals or such like.
4] IAMTHESYSTEM. Brilliant soft strokes depicting brutal harshness.
5] Larf. Red Death, what more can I say? I've already said too much!
HMs. MrLong. Again I chose ensemble over figures to emphasis a voting strategy. Mr Long's is way up there.
Fiona Boniwell. Awesome portrayal and singularly tackling the sisters.
Phew... so many different approaches going on eh???
Paul Moore. For his opening gambit and precision looseness.
Stu101. Like a child who lived through Necropolis, grows up and is still haunted by his near death experiences. ;)
Rugers. A fever dream collage. Fantastic.
A behemoth of a comp...I don't envy CFM this month!
My votes;
1) Steven Austin; Dark Judges.
2) Neil McClements 4; Fear.
3) SKD; Mortis.
4) Neil McClements 1; Mortis.
5) Andy Lambert; Dark Judges.
HM) Dark Jimbo; Judge Gunderson.
wow this was hard to reside this month:
1 - Paul Moore - Movie Judge Death - just brilliant drawing and inking.
2 - MrLongthe Artist - Even Death Can Dream, lovely death fantasy, lots of fun!
3 - eamonn1961 - Tears for Fears - Love this joke, soooooo funny!
4 - James Dilworth - Sidney - wow this is well rendered could be a cover!
5 - Fiona Boniwell - Nausea - Wonderful exciting illustration of a new dark judge
HM: - Mangamax - Custom Painting on Darkworlds Fear figure, SKD - Mortis, Steven Austin - Dark Judges,Neil McClements4 - Fear - brilliant drawing!
Hey folks, sorry if this is a bit late - I've only just registered!
This is the first time I've taken part in a contest, and the competition is very strong indeed! Kudos to everyone who submitted artwork, it really has been a pleasure to look through them!
Here are my chosen 5:
1) MrLongThe Artist: Even Death Can Dream Wonderfully playful and beautifully rendered.
2) Steve Austin: Dark Judges Stunning artwork that makes me wish I could be as good!
3) Neil McClements: Fire I love this take on Fire, and Neil's style of art is so striking!
4) James Dilworth: Sidney Fantastic painting, easily worthy of appearing in 2000ad.
5) Paul Moore: Movie Judge Death Great ink and line work and a nice interpretation of Death.
Special Mentions: Neil McClements: Fear, Supersurfer: Ultimate Justice, Rugers: Death Is Law, SKD: Mortis.... heck, everyone deserves special mention...!
After long and hard consideration, my votes are for:
1) Judge Mortis by Neil McClements - a threatening and solid image
2) The Dark Judges by Philtactics - full of manic energy
3) Judge Mortis by SKD - loved the clean and assured shading
4) Dark Judges by Steve Austin - aggressive and action packed
5) 'Tears for Fears' by Eamonn1961 - it made me laugh
HM) "A Nice Day in Spring" by Moy-A - I just think it's a cool image and well done.
Thanks to all involved and CFM for the hard work.
What a month with so many tremendous entries proving yet again that the 2000AD Forum is awash with a terrific amount of talent.
1. Steven Austin – Dark Judges. A menacing, classic cover type collective superbly rendered with a Death to die for.
2. Neil McClements4 – Fear. A wonderful re-working of a familiar uniform perfectly executed. And who doesn't adore a giant maggot spewing open wound eh?
3. Darren Stephens – Deathhead. I love the palette that Darren has used on this image, from the zombie flesh green features to the gore red oozing pustules on Deaths helm.
4. James Dilworth – Sidney. This creepy grinning visage reflects well the psychopathic evil brewing within the young De'ath.
5. LARF – Red Death. This 'Elseworld' or 'What If...?' take on Death really ticks all the boxes from composition to colour. A great idea excellently realised.
HM. Fiona Boniwell, james newell, amines 2058, Leigh S, MrLongtheArtist and Andy Lambert.
Fantastic works all.

IAMTHESYSTEM - Dark Judges
MrLongtheArtist - Even Death Can Dream
Philtactics - The Dark Judges
Steven Austin - Dark Judges
Outstanding start to the year, I hope the quality and quantity continues although it makes picking favourites very difficult.
1 - Larf
2 - Dark Jimbo
3- Fiona Boniwell
4 - Brother Grotusk
5 - Andy Lambert
Could have picked fifteen let alone five, tough tough choice. So...
5th place - Alistermac - Fire - nice to see a photographic entry
4th place - Andy Lambert - Dark judges - a very traditional grouping but fabulously executed
3rd place - James Dilworth - Sidney - captures the evil!
2nd place - Moy-a - Nice day in Spring - striking design and I like the colour choice
But my top vote goes to ... MrLongtheArtist - Even Death can Dream - I kept coming back to this one for the sheer joy in his dance moves, which is not something you expect to say about Judge Death! Great movement in the figure
That was hard enough, so I'm not going to do HMs, except to big up all the amazing new talent that we've discovered this time around.
1 SKD - Mortis: Brilliant drawing
2 james newell - Fear and Dredd: Love it when an idea comes together
3 James Dilworth - Sidney: Brilliant drawing. Menacing. Skull in eye a nice touch

Dark Jimbo - Judge Gunderson: Great idea well rendered
Darren Stephens - Deathhead: Good chunky stuff
eamonn1961 - Tears for Fears: Great idea. Made me chuckle
