Thunderbolts* (2025): What About Bob?

THUNDERBOLTS* (2025)
What About Bob?

OK, this semi-obvious joke was the first thing that popped in my mind with I saw the trailer for "Thunderbolts" (2025), with Bob/Sentry/The Void: A mash-up of the "What About Bob?" (1991) movie poster with Bob and Sentry shaking hands in the foreground, and The Void choking out Bob's shadow in the background.  Yes, it seems obvious, but it only seems that way because it totally is.

Here's the "What About Bob?" poster.

STEP ONE:  Here are the digital pencils, done on a 2,000px x 3,000px canvas done @ 300dpi, done in Clip Studio Paint.

STEP TWO:  And here are the digital inks and the lettering.

STEP THREE:  And, finally, the colors done under the ink layer.  Nuttin' fancy, just semi-posterized coloring done with an ink brush and minor blending of the skin tones.

Done digitally in Clip Studio Paint.
