Judge Dredd

Description

My first try in years at drawing the flagship character of the comic anthology 2000 AD.

Judge Dredd is a much more interesting character than he is often given credit for, and is remarkably flexible for writers, being perfectly able to be portrayed as the faceless representative of an oppressive state to being a heroic figure who values every citizens life in Mega-City One above his own. Various writers have been able to make good use of him and give the stories a good dose of wit.

I find my sketchy black and white approach seems to work with the grittier characters like Dredd, or from Warhammer 40'000.

Honestly I just don´t see his world as gritty. It seems more like if Duckburg or Mousetown sniffed a powder of Heavy Metal ! It has drama but also A LOT of stuff from a Gotlib comic ! that´s the main reason i prefered Stallone´s adaptation. i know Alan Grant is against but he seems to overlook one detail : by the end of the movie after Dredd kills Rico , guess what system will be reinstated ? the same oppressive one ! That, to me, was the funniest thing about the whole movie (even if demolition man was the superior version !)
The less said about the last movie the better...
