Incredible IRON MAN 3 Concept Art by Phil Saunders


Check out Iron Man 3 concept art by Phil Saunders!

Iron Man 3 has been out since May, but one of the main concept artists, Phil Saunders, has just shared concept art from the film. They shed some light on a bunch of ideas that never made it into the film including the original idea for the "Extremis" technology, alternate armor designs and the surprising connection this movie has with Game of Thrones.

Phil Saunders is a professional concept artist who's worked on blockbuster movies like The Avengers (2012), Tron Legacy (2010) and Iron Man (2008).

Check out the rest of the images after the jump (click to enlarge).

Iron Man 3 MkXLII early concept
"We called this one the 'track suit.' Wonder why. The helmet design from this one was eventually incorporated into Ryan Meinerding's final Mk 42." - Phil Saunders





Iron Man 3 War Machine Mk2 Concept
"Another of several designs I did for the updated War Machine. This one was an attempt at referencing military aircraft rather than tanks for the forms to create a more streamlined but still weaponized suit. The helmet and side intakes on this design were eventually incorporated into Ryan Meinerding's final suit." - Phil Saunders



Iron Man 3 Extremis concept
"An early design for the character of 'Savin.' In early versions of the script Extremis was based on Nanotechnology like in the comic book, and would have constructed some sort of internal armor structure to grant the enhanced soldiers super-strength and near-invulnerability. thematically they would have been a reflection of Tony Stark, wearing their "suits" internally rather than externally. Makeup would have subtly suggested that structure by deforming their skin in a mechanical way. Nikolaj Coster-Waldau from Game of Thrones was considered early on for the role (at that time called Kruger) so our early sketches reflected his likeness." - Phil Saunders




Iron Man 3 MkXV "Sneaky" stealth suit
"Another unused design from Iron Man 1 that I brushed off and revised for IM3's roster of suits. Again I'd never developed a back view, so I finally got to complete a design I'd always liked." - Phil Saunders



Iron Man 3 MkXL "Shotgun" Hypervelocity suit Flying
"A keyframe to show how the Hypervelocity suit would look locked together in flight mode. I always liked the idea of a suit that would lock together into a streamlined airfoil shape for flight. This one would have been lightly armored and lightweight. The 'face' design was meant to suggest a fighter pilot with oxygen mask and visor. An exercise in seeing how far we could push the iconic Iron Man 'face' and still make it recognizable. In a roster of 42 suits you have to find a way to make them as distinct as possible." - Phil Saunders



Iron Man 3 MkXXXVII "Hammerhead" Deep Dive suit
"An unused design from Iron Man 1 I brushed off and revised for IM3's roster of suits. I'd never developed a back view, so much of the focus went there as well as figuring out how to get some articulation out of the bulky concept. The color was ultimately changed by VFX in the final film." - Phil Saunders
