Dredd Versus The Textiles!

[SIP]

Just a bit of fun - done to keep me sane whilst studying for my last exam - thought you might like a look.

Hope it's readable.

Script by 'The Qmoq' - the rest by me :-)http://i95.photobucket.com/albums/l150/Simonipenter/DreddVText2.jpg">

Hmm...may try to make it bigger later.

If not, will post a link when I put it on my website - will be a lot bigger there.

Spanking.

Why does a huge bust of Dredd always make such a dynamic page?

Love it.

"A sexy nerd" I love it!

Excellent stuff, Simon.
I'm seeing bits of Mick McMahon and Carl Critchlow in there.
Very nice indeed.

Apart from being an excellent page, I was misled by the title into believing Dredd was finally taking a pro-nudist stance.

damn right. especially with the extra-flared helmet and vertical stripe old-style logo.

lovely stuff

Thanks for the comments chaps much appreciated.

As I said - drawn for fun, hence the horrible storytelling issues - normally wouldn't have devoted a third of a page to a Dredd headshot - but I just wanted to :-)

The 'Critchlow' is in the colouring method I guess (though I have used that trick for quite a long while now).
As for the McMahon.....I was mortified fairly recently when the man himself looked at my website and commented '..a very familiar Dredd' (...in a positive way of course).  

So I guess I can't deny that one.

Anyway, assuming the link attached works ok, I have managed to get a better quality version up on my site - and a black & white version (the original intention - as you can see I'm not much of a colourist).

Cheers.

These are awesome... have you had anything else printed professionally yet.

[paulvonscott]

Yeah, love the opening panel. Spectacular stuff.

[JOE SOAP]

That's top notch, put more up.

[johnnystress]

Very nice! Love your take on Dredd

Nice one Simon, still getting better and better.

Having had this set as the background on my work PC for the last day, my only criticism would be that the Critchlow-esque texture/dirt lines don't really work on Dredd's helmet: which i've always thought would be highly polished.
