SPIDER-MAN of the 80s

With the internet buzzing about the new Spider-Man trailer today, I wanted to share a massive personal project I just wrapped up! 🕸️🛹
​I spent 44 hours in Procreate exploring an alternative universe: What if Michael J. Fox played Peter Parker in a classic 1980s Spider-Man movie?
​Inspired by the legendary movie poster artwork of Drew Struzan, my goal was to capture that rich, hand-painted cinematic aesthetic digitally. As part of the creative process, I developed two final deliverables to test different visual styles:
​1️⃣ The Cinematic Clean Version: Focusing on the pure lighting, color grading, and brushwork.
2️⃣ The Retro VHS Version: Applying heavy texture, paper folds, edge wear, and color fading to simulate a heavily rented 1980s video cassette.
​I’d love to hear from my network—especially fellow designers and illustrators! Which final treatment do you think is more effective: Version 1 or Version 2? Let me know your thoughts.
