Gaze into the face of Fear

I always liked Judge Fear the most.  Even though he was a rather one trick pony (with the look at my face and die of fright thing).  And Judge Death had all the cool lines as well as being able to stick his hand through people to kill them.

This isn't the best, but I thought it was good enough to post...I wanna draw him again and see if I can't do it better.

I also never noticed, until I started drawing him, that Judge Fear had bear traps as shoulder pads. Very strange.  Oh - he also has a cape, which I forgot to draw...heh.  I just realized just now.

The Sentence is Dredd!!!

I've been on a Judge Dredd kick lately, I did two Dredd sketches and then two colored pencil versions.

I feel like I need to do another one though, because I'm still not satisfied with it.  But as a break from that I thought I'd do a version of Judge Death.

The Dredd comics have had a lot of iconic bad guys, but none captured our imagination as much as the Dark Judges.  Sometimes they were captured or defeated in silly ways, but they were such great character designs - with each one of the Dark Judges having his own unique way to kill.

The Crime is life, the sentence is DEATH!

Did you know that before Judge Death became the iconic villain, he was just a sadistic boy named Sidney?  His parents sealed his fate with that name.
