Commission in progress - GUYS & DOLLS: Superman Edition!

[greenjeans1978]

Cal Slayton just sent me a progress pic of a commission he's doing for me: Superman and various ladies of the JLA recreating a promotional image from the classic musical Guys & Dolls.


And the original image, for comparison:


Just from the progress pic, I can already tell this going to be a winner. The ladies love the S!

Really cool! Can't wait to see how this develops!

I'd thought about doing the original theatrical poster for the film, with Superman and Wonder Woman as Sky and Sarah and Batman and Catwoman as Nathan and Adelaide, but you can immediately see why I didn't:


There's nothing really distinctive about it. It's a pretty generic image that, without the movie credits, could be anything. The promo pic with Brando and the showgirls had more pop to it. And it's fun to imagine that Diana/Sarah is laying her claim to Superman/Sky even amidst all the other ladies.

And admittedly, the way Batman fans brag about how Batman is such a pimp that he can and should bag every single woman in the DCU, it's fun to see Superman getting his due for once.

That's right, Superman. Keep your pimp face on.
