Iron Man + Tony Stark

(*EDITED 08/14/2015* I'd been meaning to do some touch-ups / tweaks for quite a while now, and finally got around to it, LOL! They're filming Cap A: Civil War in Atlanta right now, and while it's an extreme long-shot that RDJ would show up at Dragon Con, Ima take this with me, just in case. XD)

The Iron Man suit, movie version, Robert Downey Jr as Tony Stark. Acrylic on canvasboard, with a touch of Sharpie for the eyes of the suit. Based on one of the movie posters, which is available as a wallpaper: www.entertainmentwallpaper.com…

OMG, suit made of hard!!! XD I can still hear my art muse, La, whimpering in the corner of my head over it! After I got everything blocked in, I decided to concentrate on the suit first, because I knew if I did Tony first, I would never work up the willpower to finish the damn thing. I'm really glad I did, though; this is without a doubt the best painting I have ever done -- and by a wide margin! (Even if the suit *does* have a few proportional/spatial problems. *cough*) At the risk of sounding ridiculously egotistical, the camera doesn't really do it justice.

I hope I can manage to enjoy this one for at least a few days -- I usually hate a piece after a few hours. XD At least for the moment, I can feel proud -- I haven't really done any art that I've *really* been satisfied with, something that makes me stop and think "Wow, this was once a blank canvas!", in a goodly while ...
