Some Iron Man artwork I did

[god_king]

So, there's a contest ( http://www.tencentticker.com/projectrooftop/ )going on to redesign Iron Man's costume. The grand prize is a statue of old Mr. Stark, and I guess that would be nice, although I aready have a perfectly nice Iron Man statue sitting on my computer and don't necessarily need another. For me, it was more than anything else a question of the exercise.

As regular visitors to my journal ( http://dave-littler.livejournal.com )know, I've had a long-time affection for the character, and so I've leapt at the opportunity. This is the first part of my entry - the first of three - and I may or not post the others in time, but this part- this portrait with tthe faceplate of his helmet removed - was just too swank not to share. One of the best faces I've drawn in some time, I think.

This isn't the same design as I drew a couple of months back, obviously. I had briefy thought about revamping that one for the contest, but decided against it; I wanted something new and original for this.

  great job but Tony looks a lil' too far past mid life crisis, seriously. But the color and shading is all good. I think you should make the light on his head somewhat like the 2 below his chin. From a distance the eyes almost look real.

I specifically decided I wanted him to look a bit weathered. I mean, before he ever became Iron Man, he was a successfull businessman, and since then, around 13 years have passed. Even if he was only 30 when he built his first armour (and I cannot accept the idea he was supposed to be younger than that), he should still be in his mid-fourties now. A few lines on his face seems like a requirement.

I am quite proud of those eyes, though.

In that instance it does make sense. Im actually surprised Tony hast been replaced like so many other superheroes.
