Ironman Part One: Tony Starks

90% done. Something bugs me about the face - I think I'll be adding more detail later.

Ironman Part Two: IRONMAN, FTW!!

em. 2% done.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v53/brea...ogression_1.jpg

did a little more:

added the head:

added the chest and it was the most difficult thing I've ever done, but it was soo fun:

added more!

f**k YES!:


And here's the shape outlines, just cuz i'm SO VERY PROUD of this baby:


Yes, this is the slow transition from Corel to Adobe Illustrator... again. Except this time, Illustrator's here to stay.

You can probably tell the difference between the two.. Part One was done in Corel, except I did some parts of the hair in Illustrator. Part Two's completely in Illustrator. I think it's a lot more crisp in Illustrator. I might even just completely redo Tony Starks in Illustrator, except I haven't fully figured out this transparency/opacity mask deal. I mean, I've got it, but it's a lot more complicated than the way corel does it. Okay. End digression. :)

I've been waiting for this since you mentioned that you wanted to do one of him. I can't get enough of this guy.

His nose is a little scrunchy, but I like his face. In fact, I'm grasping at straws with the nose is scrunchy thing since you said that something about his face is bugging you.

OMG his suit! Looks friggin amazing. He's so beautiful.

I really like what you've starting with the second one.

haha thanks. yeah, i've spent forever on his nose and can't get it right. i think i might just redo his face in illustrator, but i'm kind of scared to do it - i really hate redoing vectors.

the second one's a ton of fun, though! i dont' think i've ever vectored anything that wasn't a human, so... yeah, it's an experience.

here's another progression:



blahah, i have seriously inappropriate dreams about RBJ.

Holy Hannah, join the Inappropriate Dream Club!

I love this, though the bugging thing could be his right eye and eyebrow. They seem slightly disproportionate to the other side.

But crap. This is a-mazing. I was waiting with bated breath for you to showcase this after you said you would in the film thread. Cor, blimey.

thanks :)

i added another progression.

hm, if anybody can find another picture of RDJ as Tony Starks that's a decent size (and not the same photo that I vectored), please share. i really want to redo him in illustrator, but i can't stand doing the same image more than once for some weird reason.

thanks - are you using illustrator or photoshop? i can't figure out photoshop for my life, but in illustrator, to make a sharp corner, you just have to reclick the last point you made (make sure there's a carrot symbol next to the pointer) before going on and making your corner.

^ I'd say I probably worked on this for about 1-2 weeks straight. It was the summer and I really didn't have much going on, so nearly every hour was spent in front of the computer.

lol, sorry for bumping. ><
