...and we're
back!Right - from one of last month's amazing winners the esteemed Emperor (nicked unashamedly from "not even a rainbow" Trout):
QuoteFinal days
Show us the death of your favourite characters - did they go out with a bang or a whimper, or a bang then a whimper?
Rules are thus:
- You can have as many entries as you want but bear in mind it'll split your vote so IT MAY NOT BE WORTH IT.
- No entries from anything you've done previously - they have to been drawn SPECIFICALLY FOR THIS
- There WILL BE PRIZES. ACTUAL PRIZES. For the first prize winner and for "Tharg's choice" so there's all to play for - !
YOU HAVE UNTIL THE 27th OF SEPTEMBER WHEN WE SHALL ENACT THE VOTING DANCE
WOW. No entries yet? Come on boys.
V
There was some kerfuffle about the topic being done before, maybe that's what's wanged people's charlies (is that a phrase?)
Either way - I AM GUTTED.
Only just seen this! I'm terrible at remembering these threads exist. Cogs are turning, though, and I'll see if I can't rustle something up (though no promises).
Got something brewing here. More enthusiasm than skill - for very good reason - but you should now consider yourself warned... That Honorable Mention's got some competition coming!
Im sad I only just saw this. Can someone message me next time and art compo comes up please?
You still have time...
how long?
Only just saw this thread. I actually looked for it not long ago and for some reason didn't find it.
Sigh. Wish I had time - an interesting theme. Maybe next time...
Working on a shit drawing...

The Death of Dredd
There is only one villain capable of dispatching Dredd, and only by catching him unawares. An ignoble end, lets hope it never comes to this.
I'm not sure if this is properly in line with the requirements of the contest, rather then being an image of a final death, more of an implied one. Sorry about the roughness of it. I'm not a very good artist, and this came out more as wanting to experiment with comic panel layouts on 7x10 inch paper.

Judge Dredd - The End

Hehe, a flurry of entries, there. Good stuff, you guys. ;)

Being now at the limit of my arsom skillz, if I try and polish this entry any more it will truly turn into a tu... poorer example of enthusiasm-over-artistry.
Looking at it (even while I was doing it, though it was too late by then!) I realised I've made every mistake possible. Fanwank plot, cluttered layouts, clunky dialogue... and that's even before we get to the artistic skills that would make a kindergarten teacher snort out loud! And the lettering! Oh, the lettering! That's bad. That really, really sucks - and I'm the bloke what done it.
In fact, you could just scroll down to the final page and take that as an entry but this comp gave me something to fill some free time with so I wanted to see how we might get there. And possibly burn out some small measure of my ignorance of how I might do something better less shit next time.
And if you can't do a fanwank (fank?) plot for a competition like this, when can you?
Ladies and Otherthings... Fresh from the WhitBloke Studio (Flat)... For your consideration and bemusement... and I do hope you will enjoy...

Cool work WhitBloke. Looks like that was a real labour of love. Great final image.
Thankyou, Supes. I particularly enjoyed getting Helen Mirren to pose for that final image and plan to release her back into the wild once the voting's over. That's right! Vote for me or Helen Mirren gets it!
But enough about my voting incentives, you cad. Tease! I saw you'd posted on this thread and looked in hoping to see an entry. I do hope you're entering something.
No probs WhitBloke. I got something brewing.
Gunner, BagMan and Helm say pay their respects to an old friend. Dodgy perspective.

Very impressive, IATS.
Brilliant! SOME ENTRIES. Can't tell you how bloody 'appy I am - deadline is THIS THURSDAY AT MIDNIGHT EVERYONE.

Does this actually happen in the series?
It certainly does in that picture. ;)
Perspective quibbles be damned, IAMTHESYSTEM. That's got poignancy.
The deadline is MIDNIGHT TONIGHT so even if it's half-finished or half-baked or half-chicken with a bowl of chips stick it UP and get INVOLVED
Any flexibility on the midnight bit CFM?
What kind of flexibility are we talking Surfer auld chap - ?
Here's mine with great apologies to the amazing Fraser & Morrison - IMMEDIATE DANTEDEATH

Venus gets it!
Nice one!
Er, need more time I am afraid. As in couple of hours. Were you planning on setting up voting thread tonight?
Sorry to be a putz.
I'll do it tomorrow morning chap - but that's all I'm willin' to give
ALSO
JMEAN WTF :O Brilliant!
Much obliged!
Great Dante BTW.
Ok, thanks again CFM. Well I just spent 8.5 hours on this solid (with stinging eyes) – feels like it was just a couple of hours.

Future Shock!
Worth the wait, Supersurfer! Enjoying that touch with the loss of his hand.
Great late flurry all 'round, in fact. Another dose of Dante humour from some swine with long hair (just jealous) and that's a grand icing-on-top touch with the fading lettering, Jmean.
"CALL MY AGENT, YOU BASTARD!"
Oh. You'll have to excuse me. That's Helen. She's, uh.... staying wi--
"HEEEEEEEEELP!"
Gotta go.

100% this. It might have been a slow start but its going to be a tough vote in the end.
