Avengers Poster
A poster I illustrated for a buddy struggling with lung cancer. It depicts him as all the Avengers, including Black Widow.
I was approached by some co-workers of a mutual friend who had been diagnosed with lung cancer. As he continued to battle (and eventually beat it), they wanted to do something special for him.
As he was a fan of comics and super heroes, we bounced around a lot of ideas. Everything from a comic book where he was the hero, to trading cards, to a playable card game. Unfortunately, our eyes were bigger than our actual timeline to realistically get anything done. We then landed on an idea to make a movie poster, starring our buddy as every Avenger, including Black Widow :)
So I devised this evil organization called the "Lesion of Doom" and some basic villain designs and went to town. The poster was a ton of fun, and he absolutely loved it. Below is some of the process of creating it.
