Done in Painter 11 using the Gouache brushes.Don't think I'll be able to colour up my entry for the 'Alien' comp. Too much going on I'm afraid and most of it bad.

That's superb!

Stick some scales on him and call it your entry in the Art Comp ...

Cheers

That's stunning IAMTHESYSTEM. You do a great Dredd. The overbite is spot on.
Hope you get through the tricky times.

The standard of the art on this topic just keeps getting better and better. Well done on all fronts!

I'm trying to bash poses out quickly with my morning warm-ups at the moment. Here, in an attempt to stop my pontification and just go with it, is a full figure Dredd... He's missing a foot due to a lack of paper... a school boy error that hints at the gung-ho approach of less thinking, planning etc. AND MORE drawing!

Kev, you're really doing some cracking stuff mate.  And it keeps getting better.  Maybe think about working that up?

Superb work as ever from Kev. I think all that needs to be added for IAMTHESYSTEMS's art comp entry is a floating eye facing him or something. Love the expression.

All those who spotted the other <cough> deliberate mistake can take a house point!

...curse my haste, Dredd there is trailing an arm and a leg from the same side: "teddy bearing" as COMMANDO FORCES puts it,  a natural running pose would have opposite sides leading.

a minute in photoshop and look how much more natural it is!

Although now, the rough shading is all wrong of course.
