Thanx, Paul. Batman was my first fanboy fixation, and it's never really left me. The cape, the pointy-cowl, the symbol - simple design genius. But Dredd, too busy for my tastes. I did samples yonks ago and i hated drawing his uniform. Sure it's driven many to hair-pulling frustration.
My own efforts to draw *my* Dredd have been utterly hamstrung by the busy-ness of the design, I also can't get my head around drawing the silliness of the giant shoulder pads and a plonked on eagle. Ah well. That said, I'd love to see your version of Dredd. Batman, on the other hand, as much as I have a problem with Bat-related overkill, yeah, it's a great design.
Don't bin that work! Not until you've let me have a look at least :) I caved and had another try at Dredd, think I'm actually getting close to *my* version, here it is http://paulhd.blogspot.co.uk/2012/10/judge-dredd.html I did a Batman a while ago, it's a loose sketch that I like enough that I should turn it into something finished, I might get on with that soon

Ha, there are characters that you can't help drawing - I'm convinced I'll be far happier if I could just draw Dredd right. And these look amazing.

I would kill for a Batman book by you - or maybe a new animated series based off your designs... just think how cool that would look!

Andy - Am waiting for the call!
Paul - That eagle is a bastard.
Might go down to the vault and hunt out the 2000AD stuff, tho I'm sure i'll loathe it on sight and bung in bin.
