Chris Weston for so many great Dredds, Killing Time and Rogue.
Dave Kendall for making the Dark Judges absolutely terrifying again.
Chris Weston and Michael Dowling.

Chris Weston. His work has become more refined and accomplished over the years, but my favourite era is the Killing Time / Canon Fodder / Enfleshings / Bride of the Warlock period, when his work tends towards the visceral, grotesque and fleshy. Weston was a particularly good foil for John Smith, giving his disturbing visions a horrible solidity.
Chris Weston & Jake Lynch in that order.
Feels like sacriliege to say it, by I'm voting Jake Lynch and Dave Kendall
If the early stages are this tough, how are we going to get through the main event?

If its any consolation I do think there's a case to be made for todays - in both tourneys - being the hardest of qualifying... which is to say other draws aren't
really tough, just maybe not
this tough!

Chris Weston and Jake Lynch please.
Well one droid is not surprisingly a clear qualifier here and I think I can spot the second but please get your votes in as this was an incredibly tough pool and all these artists deserve as much love as possible. Closing tomorrow mor ning first thing.
Mike Dowling brought a really beautiful sensibility to the last Anderson story that mattered and he continues to give an unwarranted veneer of respectability to latter day Waugh.
Chris Weston in as well for services rendered to Thrillpower.
VOTING CLOSED but please chat away about Chris Weston plus one.
I'll hold my hand up now. While I love Chris Weston's art he wouldn't have got my vote here as there's a couple of artists I like more and Michael Dowling who did well would have been one. As it is I'm in a very small minority and Chris Weston, not surprisingly stormed this.
Second place however was a tie as Jake Lynch and David Kendall tied. I predicted David Kendall's lush, grim art would get him through. However there's a reason Jake Lynch has developed into the man who replaces Henry Flint and his art is so much more. Gritty and determined, yet his cover lush and atmospheric. He is so versatile and so the qualifiers here are:
Chris Weston
Jake Lynch
