2000 AD Online Forum

With apologies for the unseemly delay getting here, it's finally time for the Unofficial Forum Sketch Comp #3 voting thread!

Voting will be open for one week — the thread will close to votes end-of-day Sunday 25th of April after which we'll announce the winner, and hopefully kick off competition #4 in early May.

Don't forget there are TWO GLITTERING PRIZES for the winner. In addition to choosing the theme for competition #4, the winner will receive a randomly selected graphic novel from my Terrifyingly Tall Tower of Comps, plus a signed Nick Percival Dredd print, courtesy of the generous Colin YNWA!

Please clearly rank your selections first, second, third and, in if you're choosing one of multiple entries by the same person, please make it clear which one you're voting for. You can also single out entries out for an honourable mention, which I'll use for tie-break purposes.

Everyone's done fantastic work again this month, and I have no idea how anyone is going to make selections out of this bumper crop of brilliant work, but here they all are...

There's some stuff here I feel terrible about not voting for.   So hard to choose just three.

Superb effort.

Dog Deever
Colin YNWA 3

Sitting back with a double Highland Park I got for my Birthday. I've been up and down the pics - it's sooo difficult but eventually I have chosen:

1) Colin #4
2) Pictsy #2
3) Tomwe #2

HM - Dog Deever, Jayzus B Christ #2 & Pete Wells #2

I can't wait for the next one and see the creative juices flowing.

So many good entries this time around, and loving the variety of styles as well.

1) Jayzus B. Christ #1
2) Pictsy #2
3) Dog Deever (think this was the first time I saw this)

Quite easy this:

1 - Pete Wells 1&2
2 - Pete Wells 1&2
3 - Pete Wells 1&2

HM - Pete Wells 1&2

If not -

1 - Dark Jimbo, so striking!!!
2 - Colin YNWA #4cWarms the cockles of my heart.
3 - Pictsy #3 Damn good composition!

Soooo many honourable mentions, and a few dishonorable ones - I'm looking at you Funt Solo! How dare you out-smut me!?!

I loved this, thanks chaps!

I love getting a partial dishonorable - I'll smatter it messily over myself with pride.

1st: tomwe #2
2nd: Jayzus B. Christ #2
3rd: pictsy #3

HMs: DJ's Grobbendonk, Colin's Tweak 'n' Spikes & Woolly's GBH

1st) Pictsy # 2
2nd) Dark Jimbo
3rd) Bolt-01

Some real talent here - more than 3 votes could handle.

1st - Dark Jimbo
2nd - pictsy #4
3rd - tomwe #2

HM: Jayzus B. Christ #1

Well this turned out to be everything (and more!) that I hoped for when I came up with the theme. You've done me proud, chaps and chapesses!

Tomwe 1 - Genuinely the best Feral I think I've ever seen. Would love to read some adventures with this guy.
Pictsy 3 - It's Comrade Ed, fer crying out loud! Has to win points for probably the most obscure sidekick featured; also for Pictsy being mad enough to attempt to draw a horse in 45 mins!
Jaysuz 2 - Love Shrike! Love some heavy rendering, too!

And it bears saying that it was really, truly tough to narrow this down to just three pieces.

Well its taken me a while to pluck up the courage to make the call here and it goes without saying that the quality is just astonishing this time around. I mean its always good but WOW folks have exceeded themselves.

However vote we must so:

1st - Tomwe 02 - seriously Tomwe could have sweep the board but I limited myself to one and I just love the expressions on this one so plumped for this.

2nd - Bolt-01 - I mean we knew what was coming - we didn't know it would he that good!

3rd - Woolly #1 - Woolly is such a talent and this one made me laugh too

HM - well I could go everyone but I'll go Pictsy cos I can't quite believe I couldn't find a slot for one of your wonderful selection

and Pete Wells - cos everything is better with added Pete Wells.

Just fantastic stuff around.

Thank you Colin & DJ you've made my morning with those comments!

Thanks for all the votes so far, folks. Just giving this thread a quick bump to remind everyone who hasn't voted yet that you only have until end-of-day Sunday April 25th to achieve the near-impossible task of selecting three favourites from this brilliant display of talent!

   
• Dark Jimbo's - the much-lamented Grobbendonk (curse you, Magna)
• tomwe's #2 - The Gronk (holding on to Johnny)
• tomwe's #4 - Pettifer

Right! That's voting closed for this amazing comp. Thanks again to everyone who found time to create their brilliant entries, and to all of you who voted. The results will be along in due course...
