Colouring Project-Judge Dredd The Cursed Earth.

Art Mike (Mick) McMahon -
 2023's already in it's third nonth and this is only my second neo completed coloured page- not that I haven't been busy -so I'll post a few incomplete pages  of projects I'll come back to somewhere down the trail .

Recoloured front wraparound cover of Prog 169 of 2000ad (and Tornado ..which was on it's way out - soon to be replaced by Speed a mixed genre comics   all kind of ancestors of Valiant and Action which would eventually result     in the 80's revamp of Eagle))

Mike's awesome Future  Battle scene  depicts the second American Civil War  which took place in 2083 -lasted three years and a  taster for young Joe of the battlefield years prior to  The Apocalypse War  hopefully one day we'll learn  more about these mega historical  events (been waiting since 1979 lol)  I'm cooking up my own fan fiction story about Dredd's world  in my head .. really should get typing and photoshoping again..but it's an epic inspired by B,A.D Company and the Atomic Wars as well as Death Game 1999/Spinball ..May post the first  episode script soon.But I can imagine these vehciles both the green and blue ones would of been used in the Megac Cities Civil War

More Classic Dredd and McMahon (with a bit of Bolland towards end of post) from 1978 The Cursed Earth with my colour sploshout -I posted one page here  a while back but this what  I've coloured so far and may re-think a few things - but along with Charleys War another mega epic to complete (hope I can live long enough to fulfill all these ambitions.(mind you I got my M.O.T the other day I'm actually better than ten years ago) First time I've coloured Mike -so  if I've hit any wrong notes sorry... each artist I colour would have there own vision how this would look  I try to meet that with my own style takes a while to figure out depending on the artist..but wanted to colour this epic since mid eighties when I first read it in the two Titan Volumes .

I started the next page  -but it's not on computer any more .. but a bit of Bri to finnish off with -I  muffed this up  with brushes and layers going haywire but I'll restart it again sometime.

 

FalloutAD

 Old Stoney Faces Birthday today ...thought I'd stick these up ..I'll follow up with part 2 takes a while to assemble these into order) It won't make alot of sense especially first few videos as sound on dialogue cuts out but once I meet Judd I mean Kellogg -iT'S great to see One Eyed Jack back in the megazine  and Battle Action is returning for a short while at least depends if it becomes popular -lots of cameos and battle-groupies again I just can't help having a lively imagination.

DreddOut Part 1

 

Lots of colouring on the go all though destracted by Battlefront 2 (big improvement since debut)Zombie Army 4 and the trials of life such as it is ..mustn't grumble it'll be spring soon.

Mandolore or Bust!

 2023 and the grim reaper is still acting like a berk at least in March there's one thing you can count on been quality and that's Mando.

I wonder if Christopher Llyod is Mando's old Mentor or perhaps he's a Jedi that looked after Grogu after Order 66 -also hoping to see Fenn Rau pop up I doubt he'd getalong with Bo Katan and the Death Watch somehow .. Fett will end up Mandalore that's who my moneys on.,, he has a vision when Lizard jumped into his snout  I think that connects up directly .with the Mandalorian tribes he seems prepared to wield The Darksaber

 

 Nice fanart dates all wrong though  otherwise I wouldn't be all speculative now lol If theres a Mando game in the works they should set it before he hooks up with the green fella I mean he has around 30 odd years of history to explore would make a good way to make up for not making 1313

Final Boba Fett/Mandalorian Fallout 4 playlist -spent far too much time playing this lol I need a new p.c if I want to return to Commonwealth so I'm trying out some other games at the moment for a change .But I'm sure when Fallout London hits I'll come back for sure.

Fettout 4

Bit tired tonight can't be bothered with anything else , so I made me own tv -this time its Boba and Mando (hopefully framerate was better than my original Avengers one on the other blog)Goes on forever which is good in the long run..Updated added many more vids to playlist 2 and added the sudden conclusion (had to start again as computer was playing up sp I'll post the playlist that followed that in a future post. under "The Pipboy of Boba"

HypTV 139

Been sufferering with eye probs lately -so started the week off well enough halfway through Anderson,,Charleys War ,Spinball ,Star Wars and Blade Runner but as week wore on its been impossible to colour its all hot towels and painkillers -but managed to do this yesterday an experiment with photography - It may be possible to come up with picture libary format comuc strip that has look and feel of an episode of the Avengers - mind you it may be a bit more Monty Python this approach -anyhow been doing tonnes until I came to standstill may as well post this continuing on from old blog Hipsville365ad

Charleys War Colouring Project-Episode 8

 

I aimed for Rememberance Sunday to complete these pages -then thought I might ruin things if I go too fast  -and it struck me everyday is rememberance day it has to be for me at least.  Finally a new vid on Charley deserves to be known to wider and younger audience,

This dude should buy this version -all re-scanned from original artwork by a member of the Damned and what I'm using to colour these pages 

 

Bit of Cam -I would do more but scanners been awkward I need a grown up to fix it.

Lee Marvin directed by Coppola is how I'm gonna approach this but that will be a while off the red borders a nod to Blazing Combat comics Fighting Mann by Alan Hebden and Cam the Man Kennedy theres a hardback alongside some classic Mike Western War Dog.

The Sarge in Sicily -Final Part+Tribute to Kevin O'Neill

 

 The Sarge-Script Gerry Finley Day -Art Mike Western (I only know this thanks to Kevin O'Neill who without his efforts to get artist writer and letterers credits  it's possible we'd never know who did what which was out of order for all the work done ) Boba Fett nod to Kevin -

Gonna have a wee break from The Sarge -I'd like to wait till volume 2 of  The Sarge comes out  and scan those pages (your own scans make all the difference as oppossed to copies from old newsprint  so the quality of these pages are a improvement from prior scans) 

I could go back to the start of story  but this was the period I started looking at comics and books as a whole  so I'm learning to read with  Fluff and Nip, Topsy and Tim  and  Battle Action, Victor & Warlord lol (this story  came out originally  when I was 4) talking of Warlord  which I liked  too although more for the obscure stories rather than the Posh  Secret Agent  - I have to read this story as a whole  about a African American Soldier    and it's illustrated by Hellman artist Mike Dorey too so it's quality but   I hope  it's written well -originally they used minimal colours you couldn't tell if he was a brother so I  gave it  a re-colour

Art Ian Kennedy

Been a shite week  -we lost Leslie Phillips  and Kevin O'Neill  I  did a quick re-colour of a 2000ad  Star Scan  I didn't over do it trying to colour Nemesis in a similar style to how he would of painted it at that time -major dude - needs a theme park.

Kev did a few awesome Dredd episodes just before Marshal Law came out it should be fun to colour those perhaps one day This dude made a nice video about Carlos which I featured in earlier post he'll be talking about Charleys War in a few days (which should be my next post here so you'll get to see it here too) I really should of done a big tribute to Neal Adams earlier in the year(it truly has been a dog of a year( but I tend to focus on comics I grew up with and stayed with although Adams art had a profound effect on  me too as a sprog -I guess I'm a bit Marshal Law when it comes to Superheroes You read Charley from week to week and realise  heros are everywhere don't matter if there super duper  or not - but so many artists I'd like to colour...

Last story I saw Kevin's  art featured the kid on front cover of  Action  that shocked the nation all because of a colouring mistake - colourists could cause all kinds of chaos back then lol-maybe I'll correct that mistake and stop Frank Bough losing it in another dimenson lol
