I hesistated to submit an entry for the Iron Man: Invincible Upgrade at Project Rooftop. The meaning and the appeal of Iron Man have always been for me a tad elusive. Still, I did a bit of research and was reminded that changes in costumes and equipment are a significant part of the Iron Man myth. There's been stealth armor, underwater armor, etc.
M.A.D.I.M.F. Iron Man in Action!, 2008, ink with digital color.So, rather than focus only on the looks of the basic armor, I decided to draw a nifty new armor for Mister Stark's collection. Inspired also by another Iron Man, I imagined a giant-size armor built to tackle all those fearsome Marvel Monsters! I imagine he's got all the essential giant robot features, like rocket fists and missile fingers ... but I guess I'll have to depict those in future drawings.

Heh, if I did design a giant robot series, LFW, it would probably look like Tetsujin 28-gō or Mazinger Z! Would anyone watch it but me?
ReplyDeleteHaha, sweet man! That FinFangFoom is awesome and hilarioius, he's gettin' clobbered! Love it man.
ReplyDeleteHey, thanks for the compliments, Dan!
ReplyDeletePerfect!
ReplyDeleteS.
Thanks, Shane! I think some cars or buildings for scale'd perfect these. If you wanna see true perfection, have a look at Ming Doyle's and Daniel Krall's Iron Man designs. Ouch!
ReplyDeleteI second the greatness of your Fin Fang Foom! I especially like the tooth.
ReplyDeleteHow can you go wrong with Iron Man + Kaiju! I've never understood the fascination with Iron Man myself and much prefer your take.
ReplyDeleteYeah, FFF sure was fun to draw, Eric. Kudos to Kirby and crew for creating such a creep. I just wish I'd remembered to draw his pants!
ReplyDeleteIron Man plus Kaiju is exactly what I had in mind, Gary! Glad you're likewise amused.
Okay...you opened the can of worms and now they're wriggling all over your drawing hand. DRAW MAZINGER Z! I'll do one, too. (Won't be as cool as yours!)
ReplyDeleteGreat Giant Iron Man.
What? Weren't Joel's offerings sufficient to satiate your MZ appetite, Rick? Well, I'll see what I can do.
ReplyDeleteMonster busting armor is brilliant! Very well done sir!
ReplyDeleteHey, thanks, Rico!
