From February's winner
Jon Taylor:
Quote I was thinking the themes always tend to be very character-centric, so maybe something more about the worlds... your take on MC 1 or Mazeworld or Xanadu or Downlode...
YOU HEARD THE MAN. Flex those landscape muscles - what twothy location is particularly evocative to you? Cityscapes, landscapes, I'll even accept just buildings or monuments - just make sure
the location is the star!
- Remember there are
PRIZES TO BE WON - one for the winner, one for Tharg's Choice - ! All entries will be featured on our Facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/2000adartcomp) where they are admired and liked by our 295 followers :D There will also be a
bonafide 2000ad droid judging their favourite entry for Droid's Choice... we've previously had Chris Weston, Steve Yeowell, Brian Bolland, Leigh Gallagher and John Higgins. Who KNOWS who we'll snag next?!
Rules are these:
- You can enter as many times as you like but bear in mind it will split your vote
so it may not be worth it!
- All entries have to be
specifically for this competition - so no pictures you've done for anything else.
YOU HAVE UNTIL THE 30th OF MARCH WHEN WE WILL RIDE THE VOTING SWAN
Great choice
This is going to be a tough one.
Ouch! This is tough!
mmmmm thats got the grey matter going. :)

wow
A bit of experimenting with watercolours, ink and Photoshop tonight. Just trying something different.
DEADWORLD, Judge Death's home world.

That's dead good Archie!

Ha cheers Larf terrible puns will be the death of you.
Puns win prizes!
The image is a bit squeezed on the forum format so here's link to a clearer view for the curious.

That is lovely Archie. If 'lovely' is the right word for Deadworld.
I don't think I've ever drawn a landscape before. I've been staring at Ernst 'Europe After the Rain part II' for inspiration. Not the same at all but there's a similarity in the abstraction of your approach. love the balance of the bones and windows, land and clouds.
Hey thanks very much Ragged, nice of you to take the time to comment. I've never seen that Ernst picture before but I can see what you mean. Don't know if you've a FB account but if you do PM me your name and I'll let you into the process over there.
I wasn't going to do this, but then I got doodling on a conference call and it all got out of hand. Again.
It did also occur that having picked a potentially time-consuming theme I should probably throw my hat in the ring.
Here's a Quartz Zone aftermath thing.
(https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/25024/Nu_earth_004_Forum.jpg)
As Archie says, these get a bit compressed, so there's a larger one for anyone interested, https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/25024/Nu_earth_004.jpg (https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/25024/Nu_earth_004.jpg)
That black sun looks very... organic.
Your mum...looks very...um...organic...
I was trying to do a black hole, but I don't really know what a black hole looks like, so I made a swirly thing with black in it. And then some red. At one point it was bluey-green (or aqua, if you want the layman's term), but then it really didn't look like a black hole anymore. Or possibly it did. I panicked though cos it didn't have any black in it and that was really one of the only two cues I had. The other being, um, "hole".
I just don't have the conviction to pull off "your mum" jokes.
I decided to do the arctic landscape as featured in early 2000AD story Shako. ;)

Damn albion! I was gonna do a sandstorm in the Cursed Earth! :p
Good stuff so far guys!
Amazing Archie! Please, if your willing to part with the technique you used shoot me a line.
But Mr. Jon is also on fine form. Mr. Albion is taking the Michael though but it probably the funniest entry i've seen in ages. :lol:

Thanks CFM :D
I feel I need to live up to the hype now ;) I was planning on retrying one of my 2000AD landscapes for a while so I might do that for my entry.
Well Im up for this one! Rogue Trooper was always my favourate 2000AD character so a depiction of Nu-Earth is the route I plan on taking, probably the scum sea region.
Here is a work in Progress of my image.

more like trying to deflect from the fact the brief stated not to be character centered and then I stick two characters of some note in the middle of the composition...lol
Oh, I think there's enough landscape there to satisfy the brief. :)
Really nice.
Well I'm a little surprised that no one has done this yet but I think with this epic vista created in Paint I've got this one sown up.

Nice stuff guys!
Here is my latest WIP of the Rogue Scum Sea image, still laying down the values in greyscale, next step will be further refining of details before adding the colour. Spent some time detailing the distant acid rain storm
(http://i139.photobucket.com/albums/q302/jongibbons/NuEarth2WIP.jpg)
Just a thought — it's probably best to keep WIPs off the Comp thread and post them to the 'Does My Art' or 'Hot Dang Doodle' threads.
If you post multiple WIPs to the Comp thread, you run the risk of CFM picking up an incomplete version for the voting thread and, at the very least, it makes collecting all the entries together for the voting thread just a little bit more of a headache than it needs to be...
Cheers!

asking for trouble!

Why is that mate, I thought yours was a cracking entry and pending other entries would have probably got a vote from me. :-*
Aw thanks, that's good of you.
To be honest, I never really intended to enter this month. The whole thing developed from being distracted on a conference call as a bit of a doodle, and got worked up as the day filled up with further conference calls. As a result I'm not that happy with it and that, in conjunction with a couple of other things that have annoyed me recently, just make me not want to engage in the process right now.
Sorry to mess you all around. Sorry Owen....I will beg forgiveness with cider at some point, no doubt.
Anyway, this way I get to sit back and judge the rest of you. ;)
Entry is being worked on after a month off the competition (very disappointed I couldnt do my prehistoric DR & Quinch)

Silly me... I just saw those broken teeth and the wrong-think brain-leap was complete... If I'd registered the intact Land Raider (rather than the stylish convertible look) I'd probably have figured this out for myself eventually. Ah well, I still love it.
For the record, Brother Morgar's choppers were in relatively good shape.

Hi Jon, I thought your piece was excellent mate, nice brushstrokes throughout and an interesting twist on Nu-Earth.
Thanks Jon. Y'know what it's like though, when you just lose the love for a piece and it's there....just staring at you...constantly reminding you.... shudder!
;)
Can't wait to see your Scum Sea piece up.
Quote from: Jon on 18 March, 2014, 08:31:16 AM

Pity, that, it was looking darn good. (It's no Colin YNWA space-scape, of course, but what is?)
Hmm if that's what you want Jon but I'm not sure I fully understand your sudden trepidation over the matter.
Leaving only seven images then as we thunder into the last 10 days - slowest comp we've had for a while - !
Oh, it'll be fine. Some masterpieces underway.
Nooo! Why? Even your distracted conference call doodle could be someone else's month long effort! I think it's great as it is but I do get it. Sometimes a picture with that undefinable, glaring mistake that only you can see is enough for to get binned.

Oh, it rarely does. At least not for my paid stuff.
I had something specific in mind, and I just didn't hit it. I dunno, maybe it doesn't matter. I feel kind of guilty now.
Here's my finished entry guys.

Had a great time on this one although I put far to much time into the clouds!

Brilliant work so far. Love the Scum Sea, JonGibbons.

Have managed to do a bit more, may get my entry in tonight if not 1 night this week! (hopefully!!)

SKD's wonderful forest landscape has inspired me to post one of my own, ' If you go down to the woods today.'

Yeah, I've reinstated the first one, just for the hell of it. Still don't like it, but meh.
It just coincided with some things I was looking to try anyway. I
say coincided - a cynical observer would note that I did
pick the theme....
Good month though, I think; seeing some really strong and different pieces.
Your own piece (to pick one at random :)) is very haunting. Like a stark de Chirico. I like the almost aquatint effect ceiling too.
I honestly hope, as much as I'd love to see a sequel or two, that we never make it to Dredd 17...
My original idea was to do a landscape around Filmore Faro's trash mine, tomb and pyramids form the Judge Child story but the joke idea of my Shako piece came to me and I never got started on it.
Maybe I will have a go for my own amusement sometime.
Shit a fuckin golden egg Jon that Hall of Justice is unbelievabal!
Well I scrapped mine and im starting again. Left it at the sketch stage to long. Ah, procrastination.

Nah. I'm keeping it out Jon - stick with your first decision - or second one. What if you change your mind again, eh? ;)
Two entries splits yer vote anyway.
Fair enough.
I still reserve the right to change my mind.
That Hall of Justice is stunning.
Really struggled with this one, did 3 landscape roughs that just didn't work. Picture only started to make sense to me when i put a POV character in.
Also, I wanted colours to be feverish sickness but think it's ended up looking like candy fairground.
Ah well...
(http://i54.photobucket.com/albums/g97/raggedman/2000ad_Mar_Comp_Termight_1.jpg)

Ha ha, love it!

Ooh. That's a very weird organic take on the Meg. I like that a lot.
Though it is known for it's futurism, 2000AD often has a lot of environments you could argue are based in history, a lot of the times via a future vehicle. Be it dimension jumping, time travel or plain alternate realities. This is jyust another of the many feathers this anthology's cap is capable of. In particular 2000AD has had quite a few forays in Olde Londone Towne.

Lovely landscape oozing atmosphere and noir like menace Hoagy.
Thank you, Dracula1 and thanks for the kind words from Jon G t'other day too.
Classy bit of work, Hoagy!
Pleased it has caught your eye Darren. :-)
Some great stuff here lads, I love browsing the comp threads, I wish I could draw.
There's a hardback coffeetable book in this- Tharg's Lovely Book of 2000AD's Expanded Universe. Do it like that Ralph McQuarrie Star Wars one of a decade or so ago, wrap a series of reports from a Quaxxanian researcher investigating Tharg's career around the images, and watch the groats roll in. Beautiful stuff, one and all.
SBT
I'd buy that £££ :-)

Great, great idea SBT! Get on it Molch-R!
some nice images guys, great to see a variety of styles.
I've already commented the earlier posts so;
@Hoagy: Nice moody piece.
@RaggedMan: very trippy, fits well into the Nemesis universe
@Jon: I really like the muted palette, the sky and background buildings are great.
@amines2058: showing a lot of mood in this piece, looks great.
Cheers Jon G. Scum Sea is a powerful yet surrealistically serene piece. This coffee book idea makes me want to clean up these images some more. I'm glad I'm getting that mood across though. Intended through thinking about Stickleback through to Jack the Ripper/ Indigo Prime references.
Phew, almost didn't make it. Don't know how I feel about this image, I hope you guys like it nonetheless.

For goodness sake - that's ridiculously good. It's... Mega-City One... and no PhotoShop :)

What?! That's made in Photoshop, or I'll eat my stylus.

Mean and moody from mimikeke!
Good painting technique. :)
Thank you Fungus, JayzusB.Christ and ZenArcade. Glad you liked my entry.
By the by, I also took Fungus' comment to mean that it doesn't look Photoshopped as in a photo manip or something. Or maybe it looks like I did it in Painter, Sai, Gimp, Krita etc.
Anyway, cool entry mimikeke - I like the colours :D
My picture of Mega City One didn't quite get finished but I thought I'd stick it up anyway.

....I think i'll just bung mine in the art thread when I can get round to finishing it....my third attempt.
How do you people DO it. :lol:
Nice unfinished piece Allistermac - are you entering it or just showing it though?
Thanks CrazyFoxMachine, I might as well enter, I don't expect to place but it is the taking part that counts. There have been some amazing entries this month. I'll get it finished when time is more abundant and stick it on the Art Thread once it is done.
