Oh well unfortunately this scan is all that’s left of this drawing because I stuffed up inking it. I wanted to use a light brown pen to do all the actual shadow and I just completely ruined it, the pen was not very good at the same time which is still my fault as I didn’t test it before hand.
I should have drawn all the shading in pencil first but I was going for a much more natural feel.
It is a real shame actually because I really love the drawing, it is probably closest I feel to my natural style - Iron Man’s movement in it felt natural as I drew it and because it’s a chunky character thanks to the early armour it lends itself well to the style.
I may still try and resurrect the image on a different drawing.

MC - I was going to chat to you and the others about that, I’m concerned about the use of the character on merchandise as I don’t want Marvel goons showing up at my door and permanently blocking lolcats from me thus reducing my life to soul-less wreck with no joy or laughter. Or they of course could just take some sort of legal action - it’s a crazy world out there.
I’ve yet to find a suitable explanation on derivative works and to what extent I can derive an income (however small) from my work based on a property.
So I’m holding off for the second, just while I work some of that out.

the chunky armour somehow reminds me of Magneto.
I once enlarged and colored a picture out of the Warcraft 2 manual..and made a t-shirt of it..but of course I kept it for myself instead of selling it

The reason I suggested putting it on a shirt was because you said you were going to redraw it (and thus, you had an opportunity to tweak it in ways that make it your own).

Arjan - maybe it’s the pose that reminds you of Magneto?

MC - I think this is the path I’m going to have to go down anyway if I want to put MY art on t-shirts anyway - I’m working on my own graphic novel for Little Robot comics and once I’ve locked down a few designs for that I might bring them out.
In the meantime I might work on some generic imagery to put out there.

Just so you know though… their designer also allows you to make text-based shirts on the fly.
