Iron Man Rejected designs

[dengueman]

the body is okay but the head isnt...
id rather prefer the one on the teaser poster than that!

 

[ghost113]

cool designs, anyone ever send this to jon on myspace?

I dont like the Helmet On those rejected ones, but everything below the neck looks.."decent" they can do better for sure.

ALso here are my versions of the Granov suit. Granted I rushed it to show the VF supe , but I got it to pose decently..Im not so egotisical to say my way is better than Granovs. If thats what the director wanted , then I was willing to give him that..
This was made with real human proportions as I use scan data of a real person to build around

I deffinetly Like this version alot more though. but I dunno if its just me but, the arms seem really short =/

 

[gdw]

Wow, this could be the best comic to film costume adaptation.

 

[explode7]

Since when IM looks like an alien?

 

[guitarsingerguy]

I prefer your Granov's design a bit more, however I'm not crazy about the ab section and the helmet is a bit too rounded. All in all though awesome job. I can see why Marvel wanted to talk to you.

 

[explode7]

But it looks plastic and flimsy not like how an iron suit would look.

That, I believe is you eye playing tricks on you. You are probably measuring (with your eyes) from the bottom of the "shoulder pad", to the end of the arm. I thought the same thing when I first saw it, too. Then I made myself focus from the TOP of the shoulder pad to his hand, and it seemed alright.

I'm NOT nitpicking, because this is awesome work, but why do the abdominal plates seem to be out of whack?

 

[not_a_victim]

Man, both sets of designs look awesome.

The only think I don't like about the Granov-style rendering the eye slits look way too narrow.

I like the original design renderings, especially the one of IM crouching, but I must agree with Nivek that it looks more like a robot than a man covered in armor. It reminds me of the samurai inspired design someone posted:

I do not like this. The black under layer reminds me of stormtroopers, and the valance around his hips reminds me of samuri armor.

 

[xwolverine2]

looks like there going in the right direction (@ first post)

 

[jedimaster]

Damn man- they rejected those? I think they look great!

 

[Spade]

The first one isn't my cup of tea. It looks way too bulky, and the bicep plates are more akin to the wheels on a tractor trailer than anything else. The helmet protrudes to the point that it looks sort of silly. The second one is much better. It almost screams 'Extremis'. The chest plate looks great, the abdominal plates are really innovative, and the whole thing blends into the background not clashing with it like the first but blending in with it with ease.

All in all- the first is okay, the second one is a grand improvement.

 

[Kilva]

These rejected designs are normal, and why not the creators take a look to Ultimate Avenges the movie and get some ideas, the armor design looks good for me...

 

[GoldGoblin]

Glad it got rejected.

 

[General_Grievous]

bperlow, I love your suit renderings, I think you got the helmet design spot-on but personally I want to see the Iron Man costume look very minimalistic, and very similar to The Ultimates re-design. Bryan Hitch's version is great.

Well perhaps not totally like Ultimate Iron Man, as the helmet for that became more blocky and angular, but I'm interested in seeing how the action of Tony flying around comes off on-screen.

I don't want the suit to look too RoboCop-ish, I think it should be more sleek, almost sexier, than that.

Could someone do a design concept that is literally a 3D semi-realistic version of the teaser poster design?

 

[conan69]

Dont like it.

Im still hoping they go with the collapsible armor technology instead.

I like the less bulky designs,its more impressive.

 

[pika122689]

Those are horrible. The design they chose for the teaser poster is perfect.

 

[James"007"Bond]

Quite cool, could use some more detail in the face, and the top of the head by the fore head looks a tad too bulky but, still nice.

I hope the movie has a design with as much imagination and is faithful to the comic.

I'm tired of boring comic book movie costumes, like the X-men and all the leather crap. DD's suit would've been so much better looking had it been done like Spidey's.

With regards to the pics you posted, awesome design but needs some reconstruction of detail.
