Description I think I might have gone a little dark with this one but it seems to have sort of turned out. I don't know. Like many in the past i've got caught up in the details a little too much. Realizing this I kind of had to rush a little bit to keep the time down.

I should mention I wasn't keen on sticking to the reference images because this guy smiling so much throws me off of what his character is about. If he's a bad guy I don't think he'd be smiling. He's not the joker, the guy is a killer aparently. So I gave him sort of a haunting grimace instead of the smile.

Overall kinda fun, strange character though. I've not heard of this guy before. Never really got into the Judge Dredd comics.

Thanks for having a look!

You should

They're a bunch of satire and pop culture references (quite funny as well)

Also Judge Death is one of the coolest villains ever created since the Joker

Nice work, love the greyscale

Thanks, I haven't picked up a comic book in ages. I just kind of lost interest. :/ Thanks for the comment though! I appreciate that!

(both have similarities of cultural satire)

Yeah, gotta say I don't know much about him either! Never really got into it! Don't know why...it may be good!

I know there making a movie...seen it on imdb.com or something, lol!

I like that you went dark though!! It's different then what I usually see him like!!

I think you did a really great job!! He scares me a bit, but in a good way!!!

Hahahaha yeah I was trying to make him look a little freaky. I'm glad i've succeeded. And yeah I saw the original Judge Dredd... I did see the preview for the new one. Not sure about it.

Yeah, I'm not sure about the movie either.....I'll have to wait and see!

I rarely have high hopes for movies like that, but I'll always give them a chance!

Like the Avengers! I really didn't have high hopes for it, but it turned out to be pretty darn good!

LOL I still haven't seen the Avengers movie. My arsehole friends went to see that with their girlfriends / wives.

Thanks man! My initial sketches didn't turn out of this, had to work on it a few times erasing and redrawing. I'm not sure i'm happy with it, but if you see what I was trying to do, then I guess I succeeded lol. Thanks again!

This is a great version of Judge Death. I think he smiles because he enjoys his work and in his world it is a crime to be alive so when visiting earth..he has of work to do.

Ah, I didn't think of that. That he would enjoy the stuff he does. I guess I get wrapped up in the Joker persona when I think of evil characters smiling. But that's a great point!

One hour for all this? WOW! I wouldn't want to wake up to see this.

It's generally give or take an hour. I generally create an empty file then save it, do the work and then go back and see when it was saved and it turns out to be more or less an hour. If it creeps towards 1 hour and 15 i'll put that. Generally it's under. I get kind of lost in these things lol. Thanks for having a look Lanna!
