I AM A DUMB BUTTOCK.
Well, here goes....
I've changed my mind several times on this but :
1st :Jon : Kano really hates those tomatoes.....It was the blood splatter that did it for me...Awesome !!
2nd : Mark Chilly....Muppets : Bad Company style....Loved Animal as Dogbreath......Original and very funny...Great idea !
3rd : Archie : Thrax....The colouring on this is tremendous. Such a 'sense' of desolation....Lovely image !..
Very Honourable Mention : James Dilworth : Kano...
Thanks to all who took part.....this was a fabulous month......Incredible stuff :o
Cheers

Horrible mention: markchilly - Bad Company Muppets Style
Man the art competition has been fantastic for a good few months now, but I can honestly say that one is still the hardest for me to make my choices on for a good long time. I've decided to just go for it as otherwise I'd dally too and fro .
1. Johnny Stress - Shrike
2. Markchilly - Muppets
3. Steve Denton - Mac
HM - Woolly's Kano.
So many others that deserve a mention. Fantastic month by all concerned.
this really does get harder each month!

2.Archie
3.Simon penter
HM: Alistermac
Great work everyone. Tough decision.
1 BenWilsonham - Kano
2 Darren Stephens - Kano's Brain Torture
3 Jon - "Kano Really Hates Them Tomatoes"
HM markchilly - Bad Company Muppets Style
An impossible decision, so I had to switch off the human side of my brain and rely on the Krool side to type the rest of this sentence via automatic writing;
1) Archie (Thrax). I would buy this off Ebay.
2) James Dilworth (Kano). Should be the cover of the next collected edition.
3) Jon (Kano Really Hates Them Tomatoes). Nasty & beautiful (i.e. Bad Company).
HM: Greg M (Da Racine). Cause he's the biggest Bad Company fan I know.
1. Penter
2. Denton
3. Archie

Just breathtaking this month! Had such a blast watching the entries coming in, and submitting my own meagre effort. An extremely tough call but:
1. Darren Stephens - Kano's Brain Torture (can practically [ii]hear[/i] those nerve endings sizzling)
2. Archie - Thrax (So cool, so bleak. Great colours and that knife is VICIOUS)
3. Jon - Kano Really Hates Them Tomatoes (I'm a sucker for splatter and POV, lush Arrarat backdrop too)
HM. Markchilly - Bad Company Muppets Style (Original as hell, big laffs!)
Very difficult choice
1. Jon-Kano-Amazing image, bring back Star Scans
2. Mark Chilly- Muppets- Very funny and beautifully done
3. Neil Ford - Love this style
Honorable Mention- Warwick- Great drawing, great colours
You mean we have to choose? Crikey. Too many cool pieces to pick from, and there's lots about all of them I really like.
1 J Mean

3 Darren Stephens
HM. Archie.
1. Warwick Fraser-Coombe - Kano - Clear winner, to my mind, and beautifully manic (I enjoyed skimming your portfolio too.)
2. Time Waster - It's a Krool World - I just really like this.
3. jmean - Watch Your Back - Just feels right.
HM. Pete Wells - Kool Krool Bubbles - I did promise elsewhere to vote this for winner. But then some other people had a go and they were all really very quite good. I'm sorry. :(

I've been on here almost three years and in that time I don't think there's ever been a tougher art contest to vote on.
1: Markchilly – Animal as Dogbrain is what sold it.
2: Archie – Effortlessly stylish Thrax.
3: Steve Denton – Great to see Mac getting the focus.
HM - Albion - for giving Thrax the Hitler-chic.
Great competition, a tribute both to the remarkable talent on the board and the fact that Bad Company is the finest comic series in the history of print. Hyperbole? What hyperbole?
