The third installment of the Christopher Revee´s Superman saga,  is remembered as a failed sequel, however, the whole part of Superman becoming evil, was beyond great, and demonstrates the excellent actor Reeve was.

“Rocky III” is probably my favorite movie in the saga. “Rocky” is a masterpiece, and “Rocky II” is a great sequel, but the third movie is full of mythical and awesome moments, which in my opinion, defined the character in his most recognizable image, with Sylvester Stallone looking better than ever. Mr T. as Clubber Lang is a perfect villain, powerful and full of anger. And who can forget "The eye of the Tiger" by Survivor?

Most people will choose Han Solo as their favorite character in the classic Star Wars trilogy, but I love Luke Skywalker. He is the most complete character in the saga, for his dramatic and awesome arc in those first three movies, from young farmer, dreamer to Jedi Knight. Mark Hamill does a great job with the character.

Alfred Hitchcock´s Psycho, one of my favorite movies, an unquestionable classic. It was a pleasure to create this version of the poster.

Hitchcock deliberately wanted "Psycho" to look like a cheap exploitation film. and shot it with the crew he used for his television show, “Alfred Hitchcock presents”, in black and white, with a budget of $800,000. It was cheap even by 1960 standards. It was followed by 3 sequels (”Psycho 2″ is awesome) and a TV series, “Bates Motel”.

Colored Pencils and ink on a Mat Board, then I scanned it and I used the Procreate app on my iPad Pro for blocking the basic colors and last touches. I then exported these layers into Adobe Photoshop and began detailing the artwork at a much higher resolution. Artwork by David de Bartolome.
