When I went to see the film "Sucker Punch" in the theaters back in 2011, I saw a truncated version of the film, sliced for a PG-13 rating. Needless to say it did not live up to expectations. In 2014, I finally bought the "Extended Edition" BD from the value bin @ Walmart because even though the movie was not a hit with me, the design work was. Months later I decided to rewatch the movie in this new presentation & was completely blown away by what an extra 20-or-so minutes (an R rating) and a clear mind could do. The visuals, music, story, all seemed to impress me for this 2nd remixed viewing and thus Sucker Punch has become a favorite and a cult classic for me... so much so that I wanted to revisit the film artistically in some form...
Nadzomi Viro is a talented artist that resides in Russia whom I admire and greatly enjoy her work on deviantart. This modern manga style version of "Sucker Punch" was just what I was looking for to color after my new found appreciation for the film. Beautiful illustration by Nadzomi, some additional lines, colors, and words by me.
