These two very early sketches by Rombi are dated 1985. The first chalk and pencil composition sketch depict Christopher Lambert with arms akimbo against the lightning background. The pose bears a strong similarity to the final artwork by Bysouth, which would lead us to believe that this was the brief given to the artists. Rombi went on to design the French poster campaign, where we can see the finished artwork of this second concept sketch of Lambert wielding the dragon-head katana.
