That is SO *SQUEE* awesome! If THAT is what Vin Diesel is going to look like and with that body language and attitude. Let's just say... I call... I'm ALL IN.

Wow! Amazing! How cool would it be to have Larosa draw you as Bloodshot?

Update from Lewis:
"Sorry, guys - had to take down that last drawing. Hopefully I'll be able to re-post it next week with a proper scan. Thanks for all the nice words!"

Very nice. But he still needs some hair (for the movie, not for this drawing).

Just the fact that he asked Lewis :censored: LaRosa, of all people, shows that he cares. ...or at least he's read Analog Man.

In case anyone's wondering, here's the Cary Nord layout he was talking about:

From this we have learned a few things;

1. Vin is doing his reading and homework. We have already seen a poster size print of LaRosa's Bloodshot Reborn #3 cover in Vin's gym (likely for motivation) via his Instagram post.

2. Vin has taken the time to actually look through the HUNDREDS of Bloodshot covers to find Cary Nord's Bloodshot Reborn #1 (Ultimate Comics Exclusive Variant) and decided to contact Lewis LaRosa for a commissioned Analog Man-style homage cover based on Nord's artwork.

3. The fact that LaRosa has removed "commissioned art" from Twitter -- and that Dinesh has asked board members to remove said "commissioned art" indicates that there is some future use planned for said artwork. Meaning it is basically (not yet) official.

4. We see that LaRosa's cover features a bald Vin Diesel as Bloodshot, which indicates that Vin will NOT be growing a full head of black hair for the film.

5. Based on Vin using LaRosa's Bloodshot Reborn #3 cover for inspiration, as well as his move to commission a homage cover from LaRosa, indicates that Vin is attempting to portray a "LaRosa-Style" Bloodshot, which means lots of muscle and violent "bruiser" action similar to what we saw in the Analog Man and Bloodshot #25 (while the setting, tone, and such are still yet to be determined).

Crazy speculation on future art plans - the commission may be used in official movie marketing. Wouldn't that be a kick-*SQUEE* movie poster? :clap:

Thanks DBS... Is it just me?...or does it look like the artwork for the poster is flipped or inverted? It looks like the picture must have been taken into the reflection of a mirror. However, I don't see how that is possible since it is not a "selfie."
