Word for this vote - PERPLEXING
Two artists with wonderfully idiosyncratic styles - but whose work do you prefer?
Brett Ewins - more info (http://www.2000ad.org/?zone=droid&page=profiles&choice=BRETTE)
OR
Cam Kennedy - more info (http://www.2000ad.org/?zone=droid&page=profiles&choice=CAMK)
Alas we 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 Semi Finals, but please add anything else you'd like to say as well.
This one will close and be counted on the morning of Friday 29th January

That Cam Kennedy Rogue Trooper page gets pulled out a lot for all sorts of very valid reason as a great example of his work and just great page layout. Top choice.

Oh man, that's hard. I actually preferred Brett's Rogue to Cam's, and his ridiculously sexy young Anderson is still my favourite Anderson.
But there's no Mega City like Cam's. Sunday Night Fever and Supersurf 7 will always be the perfect Dredd strips for me, artwise, so I'm giving this one to Kenny Who?.

Exactly what Jayzus just said, although you could add in The Taxidermist, The Falucci Tape, The Suspect, Cardboard City, The Big Sleep and Adrian Cockroach into the 'perfect' list.
So much as I love Ewins, it's always Cam for me.

Add in The Warlord and Finger of Suspicion and we're getting there...

Brett Ewins work is archetypal 2000AD imagery. It's future-punk anarchy. Love it, but I'm not voting against Cam Kennedy. As has been mentioned, Kennedy's future war stuff in Rogue Trooper and VCs really is top notch. Could he have done Bad Company as well as Ewins iconic effort? Yeah, I reckon he definitely could have. Ewins Rogue is very good (who can forget his version of Venus Bluegenes?), but not quite at Kennedy's level. I can't quite see a Kennedy version of Anderson Psi Division being better than Ewins's, but it wouldn't be far off. Ewins could have done some sweet skysurfer designs, but the flow of the action would never have matched Kennedy's Midnight Surfer. A Ewins version of The Taxidermist would not have been at the races at all, I reckon. Kennedy's mixture of humour and pathos is perfect as was also demonstrated in stories like Two Ton Tony Tubbs, and Kenny Who?.
In summary, Cam Kennedy is my pick here.

Not an easy one, but I do love Cam's unique look. Especially on Dredd and Rogue. So that's my vote.

I think we can see a clear favourite here but both have gathered many votes and much love. If you want to add to that get your vote in today and I'll count up in the morning.

VOTING CLOSED
This one looked like it was going to be close as both artist drew in many votes as we started. Then though as the vote went on one artist took hold and then dominated the rest of the voting.
In the end then, a potential dark horse for the tourney as a whole rose to the top and
Cam Kennedy
is into the semis
