Following on from my 60's version of the first Avengers movie poster,
we're heading into the 70's for it's sequel. I was inspired by the
artist Tula Lotay and her awesome covers for the Dark Horse series
'Rebels' to layer watercolour painting into my work. I'm certainly no
master of the art, but I think it creates a moody and atmospheric
effect. Witness then the Avengers in all their 70's glory! Particularly
Tony Stark's Ron Burgundy hairdo and tash and Hawkeye's...ahem... daring
little number.
I agonised a bit over whether to make Nick Fury
the Ultimate Nick Fury as represented in the movies (and as brought so
definitively to life by Mr Samuel L. Jackson). For the sake of accuracy I
opted to make him the Marvel 616 version of the 70's. I might do
another version with the Sam Jackson version in suitable 70's style--
what do you think?
