I can only see three of your pics, but I like them!
That's one quality Lawmaster redesign :thumbsup:
It seems that the Edge browser only shows 3 and Chrome shows all of them, I'd repost them but nobody seems to be interested. Thanks anyway.

Nobody seems interested? You only posted it at eight this morning - you've waited until one minute past five thirty to decide there's no interest? Not interested in the opinions of people who work 9 - 5:30 then?
p.s. I'm in chrome and can only see three pics.
Nice pics, but ... they're pretty massive for the context of this message board (which I think has a width limit of something like 747 pixels) and the ones that aren't showing up are linking directly to a google account, which we could only access if we knew your log-in!
Here's what to do for max effect: save your images as two versions - large (1920*1080) and small (747*420).
Load them both into imgur: the small one can be a thumbnail link to the larger one, like this:

Yes your right of course, I haven't use a forum for a while, there is definitely a change of pace from other social media,.
I love it anyway, and I'm looking forward to seeing more They remind me of that Brendan McCarthy colour Dredd in one of the annuals - can't remember the name but there were hot girls in it and someone called Chivon.
The new Lawmaster and slimline H-Wagon are lovely too.
I can't see all of the images, but my first impression is impenetrably dark. Why are all the buildings black? There are a thousand light sources in those cityscapes, so enough ambient light to see more definition and differences in the buildings, rather than a wall of blackness with lights.
Love the bike though! :D
Nobody seems interested? You should try posting short stories...

Second post.
I have done Dillon's, Belardinelli and Frame's blocks, I have not yet done Ewins, Ezquerra's or Smiths blocks yet, I am planning on it, I only just discovered Brett Ewins had passed away last week, so if i have missed anybody I'm really sorry.
So I hope you can all see these.
There are easter eggs for Twin Peaks, The Fifth element, Max Headroom -(JOE SOAP found that one,) Buckaroo Banzai, Scrubs (the only sitcom to ever mention Judge Dredd-Twice), Iain M Banks's Culture, Stargate SG1, Alien, BladeRunner and The Hitchhikers Guide H-building.

Clara Pandy! Fuckking Hell.
Amazing stuff. Well done, I love it.
This is what the first Dredd film should have looked like. Although ideally it would have had different actors, a different plot and different dialogue too. And a different director.
But I digress. At the risk of being given an inch and expecting a mile, do you have an animated version of it, Dan?

Tbh I find the overuse of 90s cultural signifiers very jarring and breaks any notion that it's a real futurescape rather than one drawn by someone who really likes Rik Mayall. One or two Easter eggs is fine, an image of non-stop late c-20th references isn't.
On the other side the bike and Clara Pandy look turbo.

It took 24 to 48 hours to render a frame with atmospherics, which is why the levels in some of em are very dark, I had to guess the best settings and come back a day later, so sorry no animated version but I was planning on it when I get better hardware, I don't have access to a render farm either.

Thanks, I had always assumed the naming convention for blocks in MC1 was after dead 20th century entertainers, if this is wrong then I can certainly change it, I made all this shortly after what for me was a awful period when it seemed that all my favorite entertainers were dying en-mass, I couldn't keep up at times.

It works for me. There's a long tradition of MC1 citiblocks being named after obscure pop culture flash-in-the-pan celebrities, which is very much part of the comedy side of Dredd's world.

I remember Des O Connor and I'm sure I've seen a Buster Keaton, I just looked up Rowdy Yates and realized its a fictional character played by Clint Eastwood (the Uber Dredd)
I would put a little more consideration into the colour palette - those stark, oversaturated yellow, blue and red tones seem to dominate the cityscape and are very artificial/unconvincing to the eye, and combined with the use of the comic sans font on one of the buildings the scenes unintentionally evoke the feeling of a late 90s web domain.
I also think the compositions are a bit busy - it's hard to discern where one building ends and another begins. I think more tonal variation on the buildings and a more complex lighting setup would help.

Didn't mean to patronise you, and I apologise if that's how it came out. I was just trying to point out that I had a different view to yours, and explaining my reasons, rather than trying to inform you of something you as a reader obviously already know.
Also I should point out that AyMajji's first post is a cut-and-paste of one of mine. Mods?
