Beautiful cover man, as always :thumb:

[John Drake]

Awesome. Very cool seeing it in black and white.

Your signature seems..different?

[Professor Oreo]

Jesus, that's awesome! So this is the one you did after being inspired by that visit you made to an airplne museum right? Wonderful concept and execution Adi.

That's awesome Adi! Is the big one the Hulk Buster suit?

[Taki Soma]

wow, heavenly.

[Boss Hogg]

I hate you.... you glorious talented bastard, I lied Im insanely jealous

please don't stop

[Adi Granov]

Thanks everyone!

John, I changed the sig a while back but it took a while to filter through to the covers since they are done so far in advance.

Prof Oreo, yeah, all the engine guts made me really want to draw lots of greasy bits. I just wish I made it bigger so it shows more, the damn thing is really detailed in person.

Brandon, yes, it is my version of the Hulk-buster. Not based on anything existing though, I made it up.

Adi -- again, I think your work an Iron Man is peerless, but this just feels like a collision of technologies, especially given the armor undersheath you created in Iron Man 5 that's a physical part of Tony's body. It just seems like the innards of the outer armor would be, well, lighter, much smaller, and more resemlbing the structure of viens and arteries of the human body than the infrastructure of an airplane. The blow torch and mask seem odd too: I would think that only the most advanced technology could be utilized to work on Iron Man's armor. Again, no disrespect, just my humble and maybe off the mark opinion.

[Adi Granov]

Honestly, it's just supposed to look cool, nothing else really. I am personally much more interested in the visual appeal of the 50's and 60's heavy tech rather than the nano and cyber tech of today, so I really just wanted to illustrate something that requires pistons and hoses rather than chips and electrodes.

[Pat Loika]

Wow, that's amazing.

I'm going to miss seeing your sequential work...

P.

[Hot Pink]

wow.

seriously.

did you do the colours as well? the colours are pretty awesome.

[Adi Granov]

Thanks Pat. I already miss doing the sequentials. But there is another project coming up as soon as I get the script that will surely fill the void.

smashtor, thanks, and yes, I paint all of my work start to finish.

[Hot Pink]

wow. i didnt know that.
wow!

seriously awesome.

[midknight]

Jesus!

[Gabriele]

Hi Adi,

We never meet yet, I hope in the next convenitons I'll tell you in person... ;)

In the meantime...I can say just...GREAT!! Astonishing cover, really...I can't decide if I love more the color version or the BW version...are both incredibles!!!

Great Art, really!

Best, Gab!

[Patrick King]

Wow, your work on Iron Man never ceases to amaze me. I'm wondering though, did you design the new, sleeker version of the armor? Kinda funny too, Iron Man's armor changed fairly drastically just as I got pretty good at drawing the previous version.

[Kody]

Very inspirational! I'd love to see a step by step of your coloring. You're getting some amazing effects.

[Adi Granov]

Hmm, I somehow missed some of the posts in this thread. Sorry guys.

And thank you very much!

Gabriele, we shall meet for sure at one of the cons soon. I can't wait.

Outsidezero, I did design the new armor. It was required by the story and I was also quite tired of drawing the old one by that point.

Kody, i am working on a step by step tutorial for an arts magazine in the next couple of weeks.
