This is just... neat. If they ever do a sequel to DREDD 3D featuring the Dark Judges this is exactly how I would want Judge Death to look. Again... neat.
oh cool, thanks actually i haven't been to see dredd 3d i wonder if it's still running. might wait for the blu-ray and see it in 2d... hmm i noticed recently that mortis' pads are actually very similar to this.
Yes, it is similar. Was it intentional that the edges of the shoulder pad look like teeth (oh, and the bones on the pad mimic the portcullis on the helmet)? Nice touch if it was as it invokes to me Brian Bolland's original Judge Death character design (the rictus grin with big teeth.)
no, none of that was intentional haha. Hmm as I remember I was playing around with how to make the bones structural rather than superfluous in the pads, and then I came across this drawing by an artist called guy davis: [link] so I took influence from those ribcage pads.
Ah well, intentional or not your Judge Death is still really, really cool. If you ever get the opportunity (and this is pure wishful thinking on my part) I would love to see a complete set: Fire, Fear, Mortis and what the hell... Phobia, Nausea and Judge Kraken too.
