Amazing IRON MAN Concept Art by Phil Saunders

Check out Iron Man concept art by Phil Saunders!

Once upon a time there was a little movie called Iron Man. No one was sure what would happen with it or if it would be successful. Iron Man was number one in it's opening weekend and made $98 million. It spawned two sequels, the Avengers and started the Marvel Cinematic Universe. So, it did OK. The look of the film has set the tone for every other Marvel movie. One of the influential artists working on it was Phil Saunders.

Saunders is a professional concept artist who's worked on blockbuster movies like Spider-Man 3 (2007), Marvel's the Avengers (2012) and Tron: Legacy (2010).

Marvelous Unseen IRON MAN Storyboard Animatics by Jim Rothwell

Iron Man storyboard by Eric Ramsey

Check out Iron Man storyboard animatics by Jim Rothwell from storyboards by Richard K. Buoen, Michael Anthony Jackson, David Lowery and Eric Ramsey!

Iron Man (2008) is an epic film and single-handedly created the Marvel Cinematic Universe that led to the Avengers. Part of the film's success are the incredible action scenes that came to life thanks to hundreds of talented film artists. A few storyboards from the film were turned into "Animatics" by James "Jim" Rothwell and he recently shared them on his blog. I've already shared his incredible animatics for the canceled live-action Stretch Armstrong movie, so I thought I'd share his work on Iron Man.

The storyboards, animated by James Rothwell, are by Richard K. Buoen, Michael Anthony Jackson, David Lowery and Eric Ramsey.

Jim Rothwell is an entertainment-industry veteran for 14 years as a professional animatics artist. Currently based out of Los Angeles, California, United States, he's worked on big budget movies like Iron Man (2008), Thor (2011) and Spider-Man 2 (2004).

Check out the storyboards after the jump (click to watch the videos).



You'll notice that there are subtle changes between the animatics and the final film. These pre-viz videos are usually done to help visualize scenes before filming, so they're probably closer to the original script.

Official Synopsis
Marvel’s “Iron Man 3” pits brash-but-brilliant industrialist Tony Stark/Iron Man against an enemy whose reach knows no bounds. When Stark finds his personal world destroyed at his enemy's hands, he embarks on a harrowing quest to find those responsible. This journey, at every turn, will test his mettle. With his back against the wall, Stark is left to survive by his own devices, relying on his ingenuity and instincts to protect those closest to him.
