Iron Monger

Here is a drawing that I had done in early September —

Iron Monger — Drawing by Karthik Abhiram

This is the “Iron Monger” from the 2008 movie Iron Man, and you could say he is the villain in the movie — and is the product of a superpowered suit being built based on Tony Stark's (Robert Downey Jr) Mark I design.  The character is not known by that name explicitly in the movie, but there is one reference to it in the dialogue, where Obadaiah Stane (Jeff Bridges) says to Stark, “We’re Iron Mongers”.

I did this drawing in pencil and there was minimal touchup done in Photoshop.  Only the addition of the blue tint was done, and the addition of the text.  The text is the lyrics to the song “Iron Man” by Black Sabbath.  This song appears in the end credits of the movie as well.  Of course, the song is about a supervillain rather than a superhero — so while it doesn’t suit Iron Man, I think it is more apt for the Iron Monger!

Thanks Rajeev. And I highly recommend that you watch "Iron Man". I loved the movie myself... it was great fun and I'd say it's just a step below "The Dark Knight" in being THE comic book movie of 2008.
