[art] Tony working...and a hello from a fandom rookie

[m-steelgrave.livejournal.com]

Hello! I am really new to the fandom (and trying to catch up on a few decades of canon...), but I have been watching this community for a while now and enjoying bingeing on all the wonderful fic and art. There are amazing things going on here and I am hopelessly hooked now.

To make this legal, have a little Tony covered in grease...in a good way.



Watercolor, old school except for a little touching up where it scanned weird. I imagine someone has interrupted him in the middle of something complex and greasy, and he's simply humoring their efforts to lure him upstairs with food or other favors. I'm still figuring out Tony, and Steve is going to take some practice. I don't do musclebound well. ^_^;

Thank you! I was pleased with how his hair turned out, as well. ^_^

[amonitrate.livejournal.com]

nice!

[m-steelgrave.livejournal.com]

Thanks!

[practical-puss.livejournal.com]

That's actually really, really pretty. Whenever I try watercolors I just end up wet and pissed off, so congrats on that. I really like his hair for some reason.

[m-steelgrave.livejournal.com]

Yeah, watercolors are a controlled accident at best. ^_^; And thanks!

[tresa-cho.livejournal.com]

WOW! Well done. I wish I could do that.

[m-steelgrave.livejournal.com]

Thank you!

[kijikun.livejournal.com]

Heh. Tony so would forget he was in his 'nice' clothes.

[m-steelgrave.livejournal.com]

He would! It's not like he can't buy new ones.

[marinarusalka.livejournal.com]

Niiiice.

I love that he's wearing dress clothes. I'm imagining him sneaking out of some boring cocktail party to go tinker in the workshop. :-)

[m-steelgrave.livejournal.com]

Thanks! He totally would. And then Pepper would track him down and chew him out for ruining ANOTHER shirt. Steve would just shake his head.

[jwaneeta.livejournal.com]

Oh, charming! Very nice, great characterization!

[m-steelgrave.livejournal.com]

Thank you! I'm still trying to get a feel for the characterization, so I appreciate that.

[pensive]

That shirt was probably several hundred dollars. But repairs JUST CAN'T WAIT.


Nicely done!

[m-steelgrave.livejournal.com]

Some things are more important than dress shirts. Like repairs. And Steve. ^_^

That's lovely! Mmm, rumpled and grease-stained Tony... and for some reason I really love his arm hair. It's great how patient he looks, as if his time in the workshop has left him feeling zen.

[m-steelgrave.livejournal.com]

Thank you! I imagine Steve's trying to talk him out of the workshop and he has his "smile and nod" face on. It has to be Steve doing it, because anyone else he'd just throw bits of machinery at.

This is beautiful beautiful beautiful. Thanks for your contribution and we look forward to the rest of your posts! Welcome!

[m-steelgrave.livejournal.com]

Thanks!

[amf-wip.livejournal.com]

Love it, especially the slight smile. Very well done.

[m-steelgrave.livejournal.com]

Thank you!

[crimsonquills.livejournal.com]

Oooh, so pretty! I love grease-stained Tony. *g* And I am always impressed with watercolor art, because the rare times I'm messed around with them (I'm not an artist), I find them impossible to control. And yet people can do beautiful things with them! <3

Also, welcome to the fandom!

[m-steelgrave.livejournal.com]

Thanks! I think we ALL love grease-stained Tony.

[elspethdixon.livejournal.com]

Oooh, I love the watercolor - and his rolled cuffs and untucked shirt ^_^. Also the hair on his arms and the one smudge of grease on his left forearm, which is just perfectly lickable *grins*

[m-steelgrave.livejournal.com]

Thank you! I'm a sucker for rumpled dress clothes, however they get that way. Tony fits that bill perfectly. ^_^

[dorcas-gustine.livejournal.com]

Heeey there Tony! :) And welcome to you! :D

[m-steelgrave.livejournal.com]

Thanks! ^_^

[ani-bester.livejournal.com]

ANOTHER WATERCOLORIST! YAY!
Oh gosh it's my fave medium and you use it beautifully! I love the hint of pink in his skin tone especially in the cheeks and his grin and posture are great.

What great art! Thank you! ^___^

[m-steelgrave.livejournal.com]

You do watercolor, too? There are too few of us around, I think. And thank you!

[runenklinge.livejournal.com]

Welcome!

That looks amazing!
grease stained Tony ftw^^

watercolors always look so beautiful^^

[m-steelgrave.livejournal.com]

Thanks! Tony in any way, shape, or form FTW in my opinion. ^_^

[runenklinge.livejournal.com]

I second that^^

[johanirae.livejournal.com]

Welcome to the fandom~! And oh boy, I love the way you drew Tony, plus, the watercolor transparency and colors LOOK GORGEOUS.

Definitely looking foward to LOTS MORE ART from you in the future hon! :D

[m-steelgrave.livejournal.com]

Thanks! I will try to oblige! Now to work up the guts to attempt Steve. ^_^;

[autumn-lily.livejournal.com]

I like this, it looks really good! It leans toward realism without just copying RDJ's face ( I like his face, don't get me wrong, I'm just saying).
Please continue to share all your lovely work! (and when I say please, I mean I beg ^^;;)

[m-steelgrave.livejournal.com]

Thanks! I like RDJ's face, too, but one of the first things I did was to try to find some other references so I wouldn't be doing essentially movieverse stuff. And I have a feeling there is more where this came from. ^_^

[simmysim.livejournal.com]

I really, really like this. So many fantastic details, like the grease and positioning of his arms, but his expression! I love it! This reminds me of old school Tony, which is a definite compliment. Can't wait to see more! and I see you signed up for capiron_bigbang, fantastic!!

[m-steelgrave.livejournal.com]

Thanks! And yes, I have been brought over to the dark side. ^_^
