Description Heya, gangaliciousnesses-

Hope ya had a nice relaxing Labor Day weekend!

My pal, Luis Gomez-Guzman, hit me up with an email out of the blue one day to show me he had begun the sculpt of the Iron Man illustration I had posted some time back (I originally drew it last year for my lil bro's b-day; He's a HUGE Iron Man fan). I was wowed by what I saw. Luis asked me to make notes, so he can get it closer to how I drew, and he also asked me to design the back for him to model from, so the top right pic is me drawing over his screen cap.

The major props goes to Luis Gomez-Guzman. I only drew it, and he ran with it like there's no tomorrow.

Luis used 3DSMax to sculpt it. He actually rigged it too, but I saw an error in my shoulder design when he showed it to me last year. If we move further on to play with animating it, then I'll draw a couple of lines so he can actually lift his arm straight above his head! HAHAHA

I tracked down some of Luis' links to share with ya. He's such an amazing artist.

One of my favorites from him is his Award Winning Animation Short-Film "Garto" [link]

As far as I know he doesn't have DA account, but here's his blog [link]
Please give him props when you get a moment!


Hope ya digs!

Wow! this is awesome. Really like the differnt take on the armor. I think it s just as, if not cooler, than most other version of the Iron Man Armor.

No worries on the shoulders. They are obviously collapsible across some micro-seems that are invisible to the naked eye. This is Stark tek we're talk'n about here ;D

Man... Im a huge iron man fan as well as one of your work! But I can say without a doubt in my mind this is the coolest Ironman design I have EVER seen! Instant favorite! Is it possible this ever going to be made into a statue or better yet and action figure? I will be first in line waiting in the bitter cold for it if so! Again, I love you work man you just keep amazing me.

Also I would be remiss not to give props to Luis Gomez-Guzman, he is an incredible modeler, it looks FANTASTIC!

:/ yeah, I can't see this character moving his arms correctly the way it's designed now. I'm glad that you noticed that you need to add some break in the shoulder armor. otherwise he'd have to fight like Tim Burten's Batman!

Sexy. Marvel should definitely get a toy made of this.
If its in 3d, its pretty easy to get a prototype out of it. Wed all buy one.

Man, this one is REALLY awesome!! I love it how you managed to make him so bulky, yet so smooth and dynamic! One can really feel the massiveness (...massivity...?) of the armor but at the same time sense his ability to slickly move in a fight
