Nice! I sense a little Emperor Zurg in that 3rd Iron Man.

Arn Mon has nevered looked more form pushed. The youngling has become the palpatine windu. So it was written so shall it become. Where is the iron chinchilla...dick?

That is more like it.

All kinds of awesome. I love the simple line with the more complex patterns in the back, very nice, subtle mix. Keep posting please ! :)

NOICE!!!!! :)

ihearthorchata · **Posted:** Fri Feb 03, 2012 8:44 pm

yeah, i think by having your Iron Man in a 3/4 turn like in that 3rd one from Day 03 gives you more chance of giving him volume instead of just the front views from the other ones. but then again maybe i'm just biased. cuz all i draw is 3/4 turns. heh.

was interested.

my favorite shellheads so far are the one with all the neck tubes, and the one with all the rivets.
more neck tubes and rivets!
I also have always liked whenever he had the grill type mouth on him. I always thought that was a cool little design thing.

I wonder if you're going to go grandpa iron man. I love X-ray shell-head and all the pointy faced Starks.

Thanks everyone. Glad to hear I am adequately stepping up my Urn Man game.

Not too fond of the first, which was straight referenced from the IM armor archive. Gonna have to try that one again, but push it now that I know what it's all about. The second one is my personal fav yet.

NHOJ · **Posted:** Sun Feb 05, 2012 9:42 am

YES. These are a huge improvement over the first few Iron Man drawings. Already, there is a better sense of depth and shape to the characters (the first one, in particular). Also, it is amazing how goddamned creepy that second sketch is -- THOSE EYES.

I still stand by my original suggestion of getting some full-body shots done -- even if you only do the torso and arms. I'd love to see what you could come up with!

One more thing, I know you tend to favour a very clean and surgical looking line; but I'd love to see you really loosening yourself up and making things nice and sketchy looking. I find it's more fun playing with shapes and seeing what you can do with them when you throw all concern for clean lines out the window. Right now, there's a slight uncertainty to your lines and I've a feeling that if you loosened your drawing hand up, you'd end up with even better drawings (not to mention, character designs).

Keep it up, Mike!

I love how much weirder these Iron Mans keep getting - makes me excited for what will happen to them by the end of the month!

lightbombmike · **Posted:** Sun Feb 05, 2012 7:13 pm

NHOJ- I start pretty loose, but then use the tight pencil line as a finish and usually level out the roughs. I didn't do that as much with these two. Though I definitely think spending some more time on the underdrawing, and building it up a little slower would help strengthen the form all around. I'll work on it some more. Also, a fullbody pic will happen at some point. Promise.

mattebo · **Posted:** Sun Feb 05, 2012 8:14 pm

Ha. These last few are awesome. The last one looks makes him look like a mouth breather. It would be cool to see a full figure, looking forward to that.

Frew · **Posted:** Sun Feb 05, 2012 11:33 pm

Massive Improvement my man, well done.

dbolinski · **Posted:** Sun Feb 05, 2012 11:36 pm

I know you didn't like the face in the previous post but I really love them. He looks like he's up to no good. Super fun!

red monkey · **Posted:** Mon Feb 06, 2012 2:18 pm

Love the see through one with Stark showing inside. Good stuff.

Love all these different Iron Dudes! Somebody needs to set up the whole Iron gallery!

bayless · **Posted:** Mon Feb 06, 2012 10:10 pm

Check out the old http://www.sketchtavern.com for a quick LOL

lightbombmike · **Posted:** Mon Feb 06, 2012 11:08 pm

Hahaha, it seems almost fitting that the porn bots would completely take over the Tavern.

Only time for one today, so I did a full body. Next time I might even try to make it, you know, actually have a pose.

Frew · **Posted:** Tue Feb 07, 2012 12:55 am

Latest is my current favorite.

I like the second to last one the best so far. Love this newest one too, but the other one rocks my socks.

ankles · **Posted:** Tue Feb 07, 2012 8:23 pm

that last one is gorgeous!
do more full bodies!

lightbombmike · **Posted:** Tue Feb 07, 2012 10:11 pm

Thanks everyone! I'll focus on some more fullbody armors for sure as the month goes on.

What I learned today. An Iron Man luchador looks an awful lot like Bane.

Igo · **Posted:** Tue Feb 07, 2012 10:13 pm

Feb 06, that one, THAT-ONE

dbolinski · **Posted:** Wed Feb 08, 2012 1:03 am

Yep fat tony. Great shapes.

lightbombmike · **Posted:** Wed Feb 08, 2012 9:09 am

If nothing else, this month has reminded me of Heroes Reborn. Ha.

Metal Hand · **Posted:** Wed Feb 08, 2012 9:40 am

I would love to see these all colored one day. That'll be awesome.

mattebo · **Posted:** Wed Feb 08, 2012 11:19 am

Nipples on an Ironman suit.. with George Clooney as Tony Stark.

Luchador Iron Man is Best Iron Man.

lightbombmike · **Posted:** Fri Feb 10, 2012 9:08 am

NHOJ: That is further proof I should return to Iron Luchador and do it with a proper drawing I guess.

NHOJ · **Posted:** Fri Feb 10, 2012 9:17 am

Draw Luchador Iron Man vs. Luchador Robocop and I will be the happiest girl alive.
