My first idea is based on mexican “Luchadores” films.
This type of movies were really popular on the 60’s and 70’s in Mexico.
Such films were heavily influenced by horror films and the American B movies and the hero was a Mexican wrestling idol of the moment, to ensure box office success. The films were awful, but very funny, reflecting all the folklore of Mexican wrestling at the time. I have great memories of these movies, usually filmed in black and white, where the mad scientist’s laboratory was always in dark dungeons, and scientific equipment was lined with aluminum foil and filled with colored lights without ever missing reels of tape.
That’s my idea, create a funny image where a masked wrestler fight against demonic forces invoked by vampire women, which are allied with invaders from outer space and all led by a deranged scientist who loves to dig up corpses to form an army of undead.
The hero in his titanic battle will be accompanied by the inevitable and beautiful damsel in distress. Also for the funny and giddy guy, indispensable companion of the hero, and the cop who always asks for help to the indomitable masked wrestler

Ferx,
Being the uncultured oaf that I am, I’ve never heard of those early gems of Cinema de Mexico before. They sound better than some Hollywood A-films being made today. :applause:
Fascinating background, and awesome idea. Are you using any particular films for inspiration? Maybe they’ve improved with age, like some B-Movies do, and deserve a Blu-Ray re-release. Or have they been banned as cultural graffitti?
Anyone, nice to meet you and may the la luchador save the world from cannibal corpses. :buttrock: :applause:

Love the approach you’re taking - Luchador films were great! Let’s see more of those other characters that you were talking about, the sidekicks and such. It would also be great to see the Luchador himself more prominent, though that could also all be done with coloring and not composition… Good luck!

Jorge - Hey my friend!! Thanks for your encouragemenr! I’m using tequila for inspiration, great for the cold weather … ( the weed put me in slow motion… hahahahahah … kidding). Thanks for droping by. Cheers!!
[b]Cori[/b] - Thanks for your words mate. Some mexican "Luchadores" films are now cult films like "Santo contra las Mujeres Vampiro" ( Santo vs the Vampire Women), "Santo contra Cerebro del Mal" (Santo vs Evil Brain) or "Santo contra las Momias de Guanajuato" (Santo vs the Mummies of Guanajuato)
Here are some movie posters
