Description
This picture is dedicated to , who is doing her own version of this rawkin' cool idea. I mean, c'mon! These are two of the baddest boys on the galactic block. We knew that sooner or later it would come down to competition between them. Who will win, and who will survive? It's a tough call!Done with ink, watercolor and Prismacolor pencils
I'm particularly pleased with this piece for a number of reasons:
1) Riddick's anatomy was tremendously fun to draw and shade. I love the trapezius, triceps and deltoid muscle groups, and I rarely get to do such a lovely shot of them like this.
2) I managed to color an entire picture without using ANY flourescent color effects. Look! LOOK! Earth tones! OMGSQUEE!

ho ho! this idea would be worth watching
On one corner we have a humanoid strong alien with a lot of fucking technology
And in the other we have the legendary riddick with his prefered wepons, his movie daggers.
i think if the predator had all his equipment riddick will sufer a lot....
but give him some space and riddick will beat the hell out of that alien.
I mean, Pitch Black? Butcher's Bay? (finished it yesterday lol). Riddick kicked some serious alien asses in those, i think a predator wont stand a minute against him.
[Predator's cloacking? Riddick can see that too hehe]
AWESOME WORK!

Hey, thanks a lot!
Though I'd probably cheer for both of 'em, I think Riddick has the advantage just for his sheer *coolness* factor.

Thanks!
I agree - this would be a story crossover worth seeing. If I can get it together later on, I'll at least try to bang a short story into shape.

This is such an awesosme idea! I'd love to see a movie with the two of them , it would be the ultimate badass movie
I wonder who would win, but I'm guessing on Riddick.

LOL - Thanks. Yeah, to be quite honest, my money's on Riddick, too. You just can't beat the man for deadly ingenuity.

You're welcome
I love the Predators... They kick ass, but then again Riddick got the better of both those aliens and the necromongers...Hmm, it would be a hell of a fight, that's for sure

Riddick and Predator versus Aliens... I can see a good story coming out of that idea, and I'd considered trying to put together a short story along those lines. I have some notes jotted down, but haven't had time to fully develop it. One day! One day, Riddick and some unsuspecting Predator will team up to kick some serious Alien butt.

Awh, that would be awesome!!! I would absolutely LOVE to read it! I hope you'll find the time to get it written XD
Mwuehe, the Aliens won't stand a chance

Thanks! It's such a pity that they wouldn't do this kind of thing in the movies - haven't seen any fan films of a Riddic/Predator death match, either.
I'm also going to do a piece with Aliens and the hammerhead critters. Those guys are just *cool*.

Geeze I wish my imagination still worked! lol seems like you have some great ideas... Someone should start filming short fights or grudge matches between charaters of such in live action... that way you wouldnt need a real plot for a movie haha
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
Oh, wouldn't we all?? That would be an amazing thing...
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
yes, yes it would. But I saddly have no idea who would win, you wouldn't be able to put bets on that fight!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
LOL!
Actually, I think that's pretty much been the consensus - NO ONE can decide whether Riddick or the Predator would win, so no one at all is placing any bets. 
What a lovely trophy The Riddick would make though... *evil snicker*
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
true very true, and why are you imagining riddick as a trophy?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Because it amuses me to do so, of course.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
awesome!!!
think my moneys on the riddick!!!
be an awesome spectacle though.
Id love to see Riddick take on the bugs! hmm...
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
LOL - In the Riddick versus the Bugs contest, my money would be on Riddick for sure. The critters from Pitch Black were an awfully lot like Aliens to begin with; it wouldn't be a far stretch of the imagination to send Riddick after some of Giger's bugs instead.

OMG Riddick vs. Predator?!?! There is no other recourse but to fav.

Thanks muchly. This one was a lot of fun to do, too.

Whoa... This turned out AWESOME
And congrats on keeping the colors non-flourescent to add a realistic effect to the image! *offers Oreos and a Wal-Mart bag full of trophies* ^_^

Thanks very much - it's among my favorite images, despite the relatively simple composition. I haven't done many figures seen from behind like this, and I was particularly pleased with the way that Riddick's muscles turned out.
I'm considering writing a short story to go with this image, but I've got my work cut out for me getting inside Riddick's head... But I do know it's got to be from his rather cynical point of view. Nothin' else will do.

I think it's hilarious that you used "earthly" tones in an intergalactic showdown
Awesome job 
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
You know, I hadn't thought of the color scheme in quite THAT way... But I do so much in "Intergalactic Klein Blue" to begin with that I felt a change of scheme might be fun.
And thanks!
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
So action packed, and the earth tones just give it a solid feel; I like that blurred effect too
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Thanks!
I particularly liked drawing this one for the poses - I was leafing through one of my anatomy books and caught this image of a fellow seen from the back and I just knew that I had to draw the muscles that way.
I need to work more with that blurry effect in color, though. As easy as it is to do in Photoshop, it takes some time to do properly with traditional media.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Ah, I thought the blurred effect was done by hand

Computer art programs are scary. I much prefer to do stuff by hand.

Believe you me, the programs my cousin installed are still giving me the screaming meemies!

Beautifully done. I'd say that the predator has a tough battle on his hands, one I'd be willing to put even money on that it would lose.
GO RIDDICK
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I'm betting on Riddick too. I'm *such* a turncoat... LOL
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Nah, Riddick took on the Necromongers and won ... I'm guessing he'd do pretty good against a group of Predators.
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
I say that the predator wins! If Riddick wins.. Then he can rightfully say "Who the fuck is the PREDATOR now?!"
I like the coloring job on the predator and Riddick. Looks very good and smooth to me! The shading on Riddicks muscles is especially well done, and I like that evading pose of his. The background is pretty messy, but when their battling like that it's actually quite understandable. If they're, like, moving so damn quickly that the background just melts... yanno.. Haha, I don't know what I'm babbling about. XD
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
LOL - Thanks very much. I suspect Riddick will win just because he's The Riddick. Predators will just be extra freckly target practice.
The background is messy because I am LAZY. I was also worried that a background would take attention away from the figures, so that's my legitimate excuse.

It's a great coloring job. Believe it or not I'm in love with the hand-drawn motion blurr, since I don't get to see it often when it's not computer enhanced.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Thanks!
It took me some time to get the motion blur to work properly. I count myself lucky that I had a project that required a whole lot of that particular effect. I got some 60 images worth of practice!
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
SWEET! this reallly turned out STUNNING! i absolutley love this completely! the sense of motion and the colors used create the perfect mood for this scene! ahhh! this would be a truely awsome fight to see.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Thanks very much!
Yes... It would be truly spectacular to see Predator and Riddick animated. Perhaps by those guys who did "Dark Fury"...
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
LOL!!!! Sweeeeeeeet jesus I am in LOVE with this!!!!! (and you know it too - you can dangle this picture in front of me all you want and have me squeeling like a school girl.... which I, like... don't do often)
No fancy gadgets just brawn, brain and sharp pointy object... really I have no clue who could win. Gives a whole new meaning to a toss of the coin: Pred takes a head... Riddick saves his tail. har har...
... oh the cheese. *cackles*
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
LOL LOL... Muuuuuch cheeeeese...
I still think Predator and Riddick are pretty evenly matched, but most of us give Riddick slightly better odds because he's The Riddick, and cool anti-heroes like him aren't allowed to die.

I want Riddick's knives...
Anyway, I love the earth-tone background on the picture.

*dance* i have a pair of riddicks blades!
Theyre my babies hehe...love them
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Gods... Don't we ALL want Riddick's knives? I'm keeping an eye out for them when I go to conventions. I'd be perfectly happy sleeping with one of those under my pillow instead of that plain-Jane butcher knife.
