2000AD April/May Art Comp: Oh, The Horror! The Horror!
« on: 22 March, 2010, 11:47:13 AM »
Courtesy of our current King of The Art Comp, Mygrimmbrother, our next competition is horrific.

We're taking a horror theme for the new comp -- either bring us your own rendition of one of 2000AD's classic forays into the horror/supernatural field. Caballistics, Cradlegrave, the Dark Judges, the Haunting of Sector House 9, Swimming in Blood, Fiends of the Eastern Front ... the list is extensive!

Or, if you prefer, bring us a horror twist on one of 2000AD's less likely strips for a horror make-over: Robo-Hunter*, Ace Trucking or Strontium Dog, perhaps.

Don't limit yourself to a 2000AD stylee -- what would the cover of a pulp horror novel version of Nikolai Dante look like? The poster for a Nemesis the Warlock movie if Hammer had made it ...? The cover of a straight-to-DVD production of the Mind of Wolfie Smith?

This is the first of our newly extended art comps, and so will run for six weeks, until Sunday May 2nd.

Have at it, art-fiends!

Cheers

Jim

And, just to start us off (and shamelessly swiped off my deviantArt page), how about a little Cabs action?



Cheers!

Way to kick things off guys! My dark and filthy mind has come up with a few possibilities for this now, off to the dungeon (I mean drawing board).
