2000AD Feb Art Comp: Breakin' the Law! Breakin' the Law!
« on: 09 February, 2010, 11:11:13 AM »
Courtesy of In Orbit Every Monday, this month's competition is criminal!

Starting from a thought about revisiting the Mega City Crime files, we quickly realized that 2000AD is rife with lawbreakers, and we want you to bring us your version of them doing their stuff.

Obviously, you're spoiled for choice with Judge Dredd, but don't be afraid to bring us brand new future crimes and criminals, as well as old favourites.

Looking beyond the confines of MC-1, the prog is practically a wretched hive of scum and villainy:

Slaine - thief
D.R. & Quinch - delinquents
The High Rock - prisoners
Mean Team - released convicts
Nikolai Dante - gentleman thief
Sinister Dexter - hitmen
Ace Trucking - frequently smuggling or on the lam
Invasion/Savage  - war crimes(?)
Finn - terrorist
Outlaw - hitman
Glimmer Rats - convicts
Stickleback - criminal mastermind
Lobster Random - criminal fruitloop
Stone Island - prisoners
Cradlegrave - ASBO wielding chavs

... And that's by no means an exhaustive list! What about the crimes under Torquemada's warped idea of justice? Or bring us something entirely new!

So ... criminal activity of a SF, fantasy or horror nature, 2000AD related, or original to you.

The competition will run until midnight on Sunday March 7th, with the usual week of voting to follow.

Bring on the crimewave!

Cheers

Yes. If anyone wants to draw Judge Dredd climbing out of a page to prevent DC kidnapping Brian Bolland then I'd vote for it.
if I went 'round saying I was an Emperor just because some moistened bint had lobbed a scimitar at me, they'd put me away!
