Hi
I just wanted to make a couple of comments regarding my artwork on the VC's.
I've noted what's been said on the 1332 thread and there are a number of valid points that I agree with.
I do think with hindsight and the benefit of seeing this and previous episodes in print that I should have used a far more subdued colour pallette and also not gone so overboard with the cgi and photo montage.
It's always tricky, trying to do something new while still keeping it within the brief of the job in hand. In this case, I think the balance wasn't quite right.
That said, I'm pleased with overall drawing of the strip and I also think I'm heading in a direction that will produce the results I'm after in future work.
The final two episodes begin to address some of these concerns and are stronger in my opinion.
By the way, I also draw Scooby Doo and I think we should all push for a Dredd/Scooby crossover as next year's big event. I can see it now, Judge Death muttering "I would have got away with it if it wasn't for those pesky kids".
