Oh just ask if you would like Obadiah cutting out, I hope I was talking about the right image you thinking of using

Yes, the image in the Iron Man gallery is the one that I plan to use of Obadiah, but please don't feel like you have to do it. That one should be less time-consuming for me to handle. Unfortunately, I'm stuck editing in Final Cut Pro all day, so I won't have much time for this cover for a day or two.

And thanks to everyone for the comments! I'm glad the synopsis reads well (I don't consider myself much of a writer) and I'm happy to hear the layout of the characters, synopsis, and headshots seems to be working.

What didn't you like about it before? :chin:

[Darksaber]

No problem, glad to help a little, a little cloning in places might be required due to where Tony was stood next to him

Hope this was the right image

lol, i was just watching to see how it would take shape

That's the right image!! Thanks so much, DS! This is a HUGE time-saver!! I can't thank you enough!

Slight update...

- Added Obadiah Stane to the villains collage, courtesy of Darksaber!
- I'd like to add some Frost Giants or Hydra Soldiers off in the distance in the open space between the Destroyer's legs. Maybe about the size of Coulson and Potts from the front, but can't find any good images. I'm open to other suggestions, but I just feel that area could use something, even if it's just the silhouettes of an invading army.
- Started work on the spine as well.

Sorry this WIP has been taking so long, but I really want to do a good job on this one!

Be proud already Andy! Stunning! Amazing!
Probably the best cover and artwork i've seen in years!

Are you sure? I actually think that space with the visible explosion behind it makes it very exciting, why cover it up?

Not sure how I feel about the Avenger's "A" on the start of the synopsis, feels like a bit of an overkill

Love how everything else is coming though, and I don't think I mentioned this but that "hi-tech" computer framing is AWESOME. Did you base it on anything from the films or did you just make it from scratch?

Wow. Thank you very much, Arky!! Coming back from the dead to leave that comment means a lot to me! I miss you around these parts!

I don't want to cover up the whole thing, just put some suggestion of an army in there towards the lower part. I feel it needs something.

We're going to have to agree to disagree. Because I like it.

I kind of based it on the design of the "SHIELD Data Vault" feature on the Iron Man 2 blu-ray and from what I've seen of the SHIELD computer screens in Avengers, but only loosely. All of the "tech" framing I made from scratch myself... no stock brushes, shapes, or vectors. 100% Kernie and Adobe Illustrator.
