BestOf Judge Dredd - You betrayed the LAW!!

Here's one more fantastic moment/quote from the classic Judge Dredd movie.



I just love both Sly's epic shout and that other guy's face/answer to it!!

BestOf Judge Dredd - I AM THE LAW!!

With a Judge Dredd movie reboot/remake, what more fitting to have around today than....a clip from the Schneiderific original Stallone-starring Judge Dredd movie?

By the by, he is the law.



Anyone understood what Sly said there at the end??
It's been over 10 years and I still don't get it....

(à propos, I just adooooore these ol' school late-80s/early-90s violent action flicks)

Movie NEWS! new pics of DREDD

Here's another reboot.

They just released some new screenshots of the upcoming new Judge Dredd movie, simply titled DREDD.
It shows our main cast played by Karl Urban and Olivia Thirlby.

It's not as explicit as an actual trailer, but it does give an idea of the movie's tone.
Check those out:

Click on the pics for larger resolution!

I dunno for you, but it looks like Urban's wearing the too-big-for-his-head-helmet Sylvester Stallone used in the original back in 1995...
That or they planned to have another actor originally, with a much larger head and went ahead and built that helmet for another guy...
A bit awkward. I mean, check it back, above!

The movie's expected for a September 21st release date.

Outcast Studios - LIVE DRAW NIGHT December 2011

http://outcaststudios.com/forums/

Hi guys!
Yesterday evening was my 4th participation in the Outcast forums all-new "Live Draw Nights" for this quarter!
(You can find all my previous blogs by either following my meme tag or checking out the following links for the LDN February 2011, LDN May 2011 & LDN September 2011)

This weekend was yet another rude sessions of sketching, sketching and even more sketching!
Like before, I tried to keep my Twitter account updated as I went along.

If you're just joining me and don't know in what this LDN art jam challenge consists, it was roughly 4 hours long of various challenge thrown at us.
It's kinda like being in a "virtual convention" with various online members of the Outcast forums, getting various different challenges every hour and having to quickly (either digitally or traditionally) draw a lot of random characters.
It's a real challenging practice.
It was fun to get all together and draw, draw, draw! Keep our senses sharp and our hand fast. A great way to work your skills if you will!

Like the previous times, we had a great time. Various characters and fun ideas during the night.
Just trying to keep up is a fun challenge in itself!~

Now, let's dig into yesterday's entries!
Hour ONE
HOUR ONE was a nice warm-up.
Simply, 10 minute/sketches coming for an hour!

We started with one of Outcasts' own creations, The Checkeredman!
Great way to get things started.

The Batwoman!
Since we only had 10 minutes for these, I decided to go the simplistic route

Le Marquis, from a French bande dessinée, from what I gather.
Never heard of the guy. Fun design though.

Dr. Manhattan.
Fun one to draw I gotta say.

Leonidas from 300, with obligatory meme, if you please!

...and that was the last one for this "HOUR".

[BREAK!! BREAK!! EVERYONE TAKE A BREAK!!]
This was the time to walk around a sec'. 10 minutes break for everyone at this point.

Hour TWO
Hour two consisted in two 30 min. sketches.
With a twist!
2 selected characters fighting random foes.

The first random subject was Blueberry & Lone Wolf (and Cub)  versus Violent Cowboys!
Was getting carried with this one..
I had this epic western scene pictured in my mind.

..and the 2nd drawing was Lobo & Judge Anderson (from Judge Dredd) against, I quote, "homicidal telekinetic Toddlers", I kid you not.

[BREAK!! BREAK!! EVERYONE TAKE A BREAK!!]

Hour THREE
HOUR THREE - It consisted in a longer 50 minutes drawing of Ghost in the Shell's main protagonist.

Motoko Kusanagi.
The idea was to either emulate this reference pic of a cosplayer or simply the character she was representing.

[BREAK!! BREAK!! EVERYONE TAKE A BREAK!!]

Hour FOUR
Fourth - and last final hour.
A drawing with a twist!
The subject was a steampunk'd version of one of the proposed characters. We had a whole hour for this one.

I decided to select the DK2 Batman & Robin, just for kicks

And that was all for this night!
Our next session will be in March, from what I gather.
All in all, it was a pretty fun challenge to keep up with :D


Why don't ya try joining in the fun for next time. (log in the outcast studios or even, try to keep up even if you don't follow these forum boards!)

Hope you enjoy these!
Until next time~

Comic NEWS! Two Face and the Judge dread over these new pics

Here's some first pics to look at upcoming comic book character adapted into different mediums.

First up, Harvey Dent in the upcoming Batman: Arkham City game gets his own promo poster:

Looking great!
My favorite Arkham Asylum/City redesigned character so far.
Yes, I find the Joker too much Heath Ledger-ified, Harley too slutty, Batman too Unreal-ysh, Robin looks gangsta, etc..etc..
But Harvey's perfect!

Though..
Okay, for some reason, I find his non-scarred face reminding me a bit too much of Nicolas Cage. No? Not you too? Am I alone thinking this?


And here's a new look at the upcoming new Judge Dredd movie. Judge it yourself!

Huh...yeah..
Nothing against Karl Urban, he was pretty good in  the modern Star Trek, but he looks a bit silly in the role of the Judge.
His helmet even looks too big for him.

Nothing sayed "I'm here to kickass" as much as Stallone as the Judge:

Look at that jawline!

Outcast Studios - LIVE DRAW NIGHT May 2011

So, last night at the Outcast forums, we had another one of our "Live Draw Nights", where a dozen or so comic fans spend hours drawing characters after characters.

http://outcaststudios.com/forums/

It's a very fun challenge, it provides such an interesting and challenging practice session.
It's divided into 4 hours, were we:
- Draw 5-10 minutes characters on the first hour
- We draw half hour sketches the second hour
- Had an interesting rule in the 3rd one, do a "costume swap"
- Finish the last 4th hour with a much more challenging and complete drawing, based on someone's cosplay (this time, it was a pretty professional Iron Man cosplay)

There were some very interesting choices amongst the subject, they weren't even all comic book-related!

Let's check out some of the pics I've drawn last night, if you please!

First Hour

We started with a 90s classic, with Judge Dredd!
I was taking it slowly at first (see face) then noticed the next challenge was already up and rushed through the body...

I'm kinda impressed I was able to draw this much of Zatanna in so little time :P
Always fun to draw Zee^^

A simple Captain America bust.

Marv from Sin City.
Could have been much better.. I should have inked some black spots on his jacket, just for contrast...

Ugliest Joker I've ever drawn...in a "not that really good"-kinda way...

Second Hour

Link, from the Legend of Zelda. First non-comic book character!
We had the choice amongst various Links, but giving me a choice, I had to take Cartoon Link over emo-animu Link...

Okay, I admit it, I had fun with this one.
I decided to draw a more retro Samus Aran from the old Metroid games over the current one...

Third Hour

The "costume swapping" challenge!
We had to pick a character from a list, put him/her into another one's costume and vis-versa.
Some guys at the forums had fun with Poison Ivy's costume and Colossus'. Ha, good times :P
I picked up Starfire and decided to put her into another Titan's costume....

...and Raven into Starfire's.
Ha :P
Kinda gives a completely different angle to both Titans gals, heh? :'3


Fourth Hour

Finally, the last one!
We had these kickass reference pics of a fan in a badass Iron Man cosplay.
I went with a more classic comic book Iron Man for the sketch.

And that is all from last night's 4 hours of LiveDrawNight~
Hope you liked it ;)

Why don't you even try joining in for next time? ;)
