Well the Current draw wasn't going to be out done by the Classic and so also threw up one of the favourites in the first heat. Likewise it then gave you a choice between them and another absolute fan fav just to prove that anything classic Art Droid discussion can do Current art Droid discussion can match... and more? I personally think the decision between Brendan McCarthy and Colin MacNeil is as tough as anything either side could come up with. In these parts not decision can be based on no Rogan Josh, nor no Dark Knight Returns.
Alas we still have to pick our favourite and to do so just pop the name of the art droid you'd most like to go through to the Quarter Finals, but please add anything else you'd like to say as well.

Anything else just ask and I'll make something up.
Colin MacNeil
Love them both, but here I'm going for Brenda McCarthy, for his unique psychedelic style. The Judda in my view are one of the all-time best designs in the Dredd canon.

Brendan McCarthy
I love Colin's work and he can't put a foot wrong these days but my vote has to go to Brendan McCarthy - as well as performing art duties on my favourite Dredd story (Riders on the Storm) and my favourite 2000AD cover (Prog 473) I never travel anywhere without a copy of the English/Phlondrutian Phrasebook.
Colin MacNeil.
MacNeil. McCarthy is a genius who was instrumental in the unique visuals of some of my favourite 2000AD strips, but I'll continue to maintain that Colin MacNeil is the single most important 2000AD artist of the past 30 years.
Mr Colin.

On the basis of current work: MacNeil.

Well it was inevitable my artist genius would one day be recognised by Tharg and I thank SBT for his vote.

Rule-wise, we're not limited to current work though, or are we?

Not at all - you define how you choose favourite - you can base it on current work if you wish - JUST WORK FOR THARG - is they only thing that gets hardcapped from me.
MacNeil.
That's a very tough one. I think at the end of the day, I love the madness and uniqueness of Brendan more though. Not quite as enamoured with his newer work but he's done some of my favourite prog stuff ever.
Colin MacNeil. He's one of the greats, there's a reason Tharg keeps getting MacNeil do draw Wagner's scripts.
Colin MacNeil.
Brendan McCarthy. Despite being responsible for Zaucer of Zilk, which was painful to read IMO, his Dredd work is just so incredible that I have to give him No. 1.
MacNeil for me
Both very good artists, each for different reasons.
But my favorite is Colin MacNeil, because my enjoyment is effortless. With Brendan, sometimes I have to choose to engage - it's more in your face.
I can imagine choosing the opposite depending on mood, as well.
Colin MacNeil
Almost done here so if you fancy voting do so today and I'll count up and annouce the result first thing in the morning.
He's a lunatic but McCarthy.
Colin for me. Love his work.
Colin
VOTING CLOSED
Thanks for all the votes folks... what... what do you mean not that Colin... MacNeil... huh... oh I see...
Turns out all the votes for Colin were for some call MacNeil who knew. With that in mind its clear we have an absolute favourite for the Current tournment as while this one might not have been quite as cut and dry as the first vote to close in the Classic tourney but still it was pretty clear who was going to progress pretty early on. So if a titan like Brendan McCarthy can't slow who momentum is there anyone who can stop
Colin MacNeil
As he moves into the Quarter Finals.
