DREDD

FIRST NEW DREDD PIC IN PROGRESS - STARTED IT YESTERDAY AFTERNOON AND HOPE TO FINISH TO DAY. I DECIDED TO SCAN IT AT EACH STAGE SO I CAN RECORD EACH PART OF THE PROCESS, FROM INITIAL PENCIL SKETCH TO FINISHED INKED & SCANNED IMAGE. AT FIRST I HAD A KIND OF ABSTRACT COLUMN OF SMOKE AS MY BACKGROUND, UNTIL VEDA POINTED OUT THIS WAS EXACTLY LIKE THE ALPHA PICTURE I DID YESTERDAY. SHE THEN HAD A GREAT IDEA - DRAW THE CITY. IF I'M EVER GOING TO GET A DREDD STRIP, I'M GOING TO HAVE TO DRAW THE CITY - IT IS INDEED 'A CHARACTER IN ITSELF'. SO I DID THAT, AND IT'S TURNED OUT QUITE WELL SO FAR. HAD A LOT OF FUN COMING UP WITH NAMES FOR MY BLOCKS, SO WHEN THE FINAL IMAGE IS FINISHED YOU WILL SEE BOTH JAMES SPADER AND ROY SCHEIDER BLOCKS! ANYWAY, BEST GET ON WITH IT.
