Description


This time Cover Art produced for a real physical object - which hit the news stand fairly recently. This one will have to age in it's own time! There are three more issues to the mini series - #2 came out yesterday. Will post the Cover Art over the next week or so and some of the concept stuff that led to them. Thanks for looking and a big thanks for all the encouragement over the years. It's a good place Renderosity. Mike.

Awesome image, as usual. I like the different take on the character. The colors are fantastic and perfectly suited for the "Noir" atmosphere announced in your cool "Marvel Noir" logo. You definitely convey the sense that this is one of their famous alternate-version stories/series that they've been doing over the past few years. I do see, however, two minor issues of clutter creating possible problems, though. The first is minor: the weapon (or whatever) appearing over Iron Man's right hand makes it look like he has an extra finger that's pointing up. It's minor and easily dismissed once I take a better look at the hand, but it does create a split-second of confusion in my mind. The second issue also stems from my mind... which I must admit is particularly dirty. The POV is VERY cool for this image; it definitely conveys the sense that he's skulking about and that contributes to the noir feel. However, our eyes are basically at crotch level and there is a long, straight line in the background lined up perfectly with the aforementioned crotch. To be really blunt, it's a little phallic, which is something I doubt you were going for in this image. This is one time when I suspect that a simpler background is called for. I do like the building detail, but I'm afraid that it's just a little rude when considered as part of the entire composition. Perhaps if there were a series of horizontal bands (perhaps different floors/balconies?) instead, it might spare my dirty mind just a little bit. Of course, you know I'm just nitpicking. The colors, composition, and detail (love that bit of texture around his neck) are great. Bravo on another grand slam!

Outstanding work as usual. It warms my heart to know that some future Rendo artist might one day be aging his work to look like one of your covers!

A really interesting composition Mike -well thought out. Not sure what you were going for with this one, but the Iron Man banner looks a bit jagged at the resolution you posted. Gary

Great pic! I really like your design for this "noir" suit, between oldschool, like Rocketeer, and actual designs. Nice POV and colors choice!
