Dredd poster for Karl Urban signing

[mimikeke]

So I decided on a whim last minute to paint up a poster for Karl Urban to sign at a convention in Texas this weekend.  So apologies for lack of polish and creative liberty with the costume   Between work, travel, and wedding planning it has been difficult to put in the time this week.

After listening to an interview with Alex Garland about the original screenplay following Dredd America, I decided to paint up a tribute to the original comic using the movie uniform. 

Unfortunately I only have a little bit of time before it goes to the printers, but I thought I'd post what I had so far.

I'm going to try to get Urban to read the intro to Dredd America at the con and tape it, I'll let you know how it goes

That's a brilliant and bold piece of work.

thanks! I just realized I forgot the "SS" highlight on his visor haha

because I'm totally delirious and sick and have been skiing I also drew this silly MSPaint thing of Dredd and Anderson as a break from the poster.  I like to imagine Dredd pizza'ing his skis down the slopes like a noob.

Lovely, lovely stuff.

But YELLOW knee pads? My god man, WHYYYYYYY?!?!?

haha about the kneepads, I don't think it bothered me as much =P

I did a quick color in for the suit but I dunno if I like it as much, maybe it's the helmet

Like the nod to the Film's stars and stripes image too

Ha! Only kidding about the pads. I think it looks stunning.

Hope Karl likes it. Here's me and him at the Dredd preview screening in 2012. *swoon* He's so dreamy!

@spaceghost: I think once you mentioned it, it couldn't be unseen

Nice pic! I just got into the comics after randomly watching the movie on Netflix, I think I've probably burned through like a billion progs in the past month.  That's super awesome that you got into the preview screening.

Just noticed you have the Dredd America image on your shirt too haha

Colour uniform version is much better.
