2000AD Aug/Sept Art Comp: We're All Going On A…

[Cpt Rhodes]

We all know who won already & out of interest who chooses?

Can I be controvertial and suggest that only entrants can vote? That'd weedle out these sideline naysayers!

Aww don't do that. We're not all naysayers.
Don't make it an elite entrants only thing.
And it's far from a done deal Judge Old, you'd be amazed how much beauty (or comic art) is in the eye of the beholder.

TBH, there's only one sideline naysayer and, frankly, he's been nothing but a whining shitbag since he migrated here from 2000AD review. Put the cockmonkey on ignore and be done with it.

And a quick reminder that we close at midnight*, folks!

Better get those last-minute entries in!

Cheers

Jim

*Although, I'm out of the house early tomorrow and won't be back until mid-afternoon, so you could probably sneak something in in the morning. ;-)

[SuperSurfer]

Good un' Larf.

Here's one more for the road.

[Jim_Campbell]

Cool! BTW, is that Blambot's Web Letterer, there, Surfer?

Cheers!

Jim

[SuperSurfer]

Thanks. Yes, it's Web Letterer. Not bad for a freebie font I reckon. My first attempt to add speech bubbles in Illustrator. I usually very lazily do these small bits in Photoshop. This time I referred to your very helpful guide (so cheers again for making that available). I tried a curved tail but couldn't make it work. Having seen that Annie Parkhouse and Ellie de Ville use straight tails, I stuck to that.  

[CrazyFoxMachine]

Excellent SuperSurfer - halftone and lettering work really well - A curved tail would've looked odd there anyway  - !

It's nice work. It's always interesting to see these fonts in use -- you can't get a proper sense of 'em from the samples on the Blambot and Comicraft sites.

Cheers!

Dredd buried up to his head in the sand (with ultra realistic birds and everything):

........and the tides coming in, by the looks of things. 

[uncle fester]

Ha ha nice!

[LARF]

LMAO @ Cthulouis' pic - who'd dare bury Dredd in the sand 

Lovely retro pulp feel on Sin Dex SuperSurfer - love the halftone. I used the Blambot fonts recently on the G-Team job we did with Kevlev, really great and well thought out fonts, also beautifully kerned - which makes the job a lot easier.

I decided to have bum fun with Mrs LARF instead, so no chance of a Flash version this weekend and no butter on my pack-up sarnies today

Voting thread will be delayed, unfortunately. I'm attempting to letter the worst-laid-out book that I've ever had the misfortune to encounter. Suffice to say that when the page rate is expressed as an hourly rate, I'm quite a long way short of minimum wage.

Gaah!

Way too much info there, Marlon Brando.

[The Legendary Shark]

Just how does one have fun with a mendicant?
