Happy Opposite Day.
Dude, That's freaking assinine! Thanks so much!!! MORE COMMISSION TWO-FOR-ONE DEALS!!!!! WOOOOT!!!!
It was well worth the wait for both commissions, and this guy is a pleasure to work with. Anyone out there looking for a talented, creative..... ((Checks Cue Card)), Fairly Priced ((Is that a Z? His Handwriting Sucks...)), But yeah, Great job and Thanks!!!
Fantastic look Bobby! I love the texture of that wall.
I should link the artist who created the grunge wallpaper, which I used on the metal layer. I had so much fun doing that part, it was a shame to cover it melting steel and flame. Which is why this version has less overwhelming yellow than the color sketch.

You're evil, Igniitus xD
Awesometastic artwork!
Iggy is HAWT!~
I'd say his head is a bit small, but aside from that, the piece is done, and it's seriously great. Once again, great work, LJ!
If you look at this artist reference that Igniitus provides... you'll see that he's actually quite large in a more stocky sense... On this version I did indeed take artistic license, and the effect of small head/large body is on purpose as it creates the illusion of a more powerful brute like figure.
My first take on Iggy was drawn with normal proportions, it suggests a more youthful character, as well as leaner and less powerful than one that could melt through a wall. My goal here was to show his power.
I'd dare say the head isn't even an important part, as the hands are the most dynamic element. This technique is a time honored tradition since the Renaissance, where sculptors such as Michelangelo would increase height, or the size of the hands and feet to make the figure more striking.
Here is an interesting quote from an art historian discussing Greek Sculpture -
As art historian Gisela Richter writes: "...proportion is the element that redeems naturalistic sculpture, preventing it from becoming merely representational."
I could make the head larger, but you wouldn't have noticed it then being small, and his limbs being purposefully large. I tend to draw small heads in general, and elongated figures which I find more pleasing.
Thank you for looking...
