A recent commission based on Steven Spielberg's 1979 World War II comedy.   We started out with the idea that it would be a straight-up pulp cover drawn in a classic 1930s style, but it evolved to be a combination of that plus the caricature style movie posters like the ones that Frank Frazetta did and used to be popular in the 60s andn 70s.  Lots of fun to work on since I love drawing caricatures.

Drawn and colored with Paint Tool SAI and some final color adjustment in Photoshop.

From the pieces of it that I've seen, it sure seems that way.

One of my favorite characters. I wish that movie had spent about 15 extra minutes on just John Belushi being eccentric, a tough-as-nails Real American Hero who can't do anything right.

Thanks.  I've actually never seen the whole movie, but checked out some clips as research for this and thought they were funny.

Nancy Allen was The Girl Next Door and The Girl Your Mother Warned You About all in one incredibly hot package.

I mostly remember her from the Robocop movies - more of a "tough chick" role but I don't disagree with you!

Check out Brian de Palma's Dressed to Kill sometime, as well as 1941.
