IRON MAN 3 Concept Art by Andy Park, Rodney Fuentabella and Josh Nizzi


Iron Man 3 concept art by Andy Park, Rodney Fuentabella and Josh Nizzi!

Having made over $400 million domestically and more than $1.2 billion internationally, Disney's Iron Man 3 is close to being 2013's most successful film. A few of the artists that have helped design the film are Andy Park, Rodney Fuentabella and Josh Nizzi. I thought I'd share some of their best work on the film.

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

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.

Cutting Edge Silver Samurai THE WOLVERINE concept art by Josh Nizzi


Check out The Wolverine concept art by Josh Nizzi!

Josh Nizzi is a professional concept illustrator who's worked on Hollywood films like The Avengers (2012), The Amazing Spider-Man (2012) and Transformers: Dark of the Moon (2011).
 
Check out the rest of the pictures after the jump (click to enlarge).


When I asked Josh about the designs he said. "The Production Designer François Audouy wanted a sleek and high tech design that was functional as well.  I drew inspiration from concept cars and motorcycles, the comic designs, a bit of anime mechs and of course samurai armor.  It was a fun design to work on – I hope they make a cool figure of it!"

Here's what it looked like in the film.


Now, here's the concept art.






By the way, here's the very uncool action figure Hasbro put out.

[Image]
Updated:  Jerad S. Merantz, Eddie Yang, Ed Natividad
Here are some of the artists that worked on the science-fiction film The Amazing Spider-Man (2012). There are many talented artists involved in the production of a film. These are only some of them according to IMDb and my own research.

Official Synopsis:
Like most teenagers his age, Peter [played by Andrew Garfield] is trying to figure out who he is and how to be the person he is today. In his journey to put the pieces of his past together he uncovers a secret that his father [Campbell Scott] held… a secret that will ultimately shape his destiny as Spider-Man. This is the first in a series of movies that tells a different side of the Peter Parker story.

    Artists of 'Battleship' (2012)

    Here are some of the artists that worked on the science-fiction film Battleship (2012). As always there are many talented artists involved in the production of a film. These are only some of them according to IMDb and my own research.
    Official Synopsis:
    Peter Berg (Hancock) produces and directs Battleship, an epic action-adventure that unfolds across the seas, in the skies and over land as our planet fights for survival against a superior force. Based on Hasbro’s classic naval combat game, Battleship stars Taylor Kitsch as Lt. Alex Hopper, a Naval officer assigned to the USS John Paul Jones; Brooklyn Decker as Sam Shane, a physical therapist and Hopper’s fiancée; Alexander Skarsgard as Hopper’s older brother, Stone, Commanding Officer of the USS Sampson; Rihanna as Petty Officer Raikes, Hopper’s crewmate and a weapons specialist on the USS John Paul Jones; and international superstar Liam Neeson as Hopper and Stone’s superior (and Sam’s father), Admiral Shane.

    Top Ten 'Transformers: Dark of the Moon' Concept Art

    Check out the best concept illustrations for the Michael Bay film Transformers: Dark of the Moon (2011). A lot of artists put in a lot of work, but we can only feature the ones on the Internet.

    Because of commercial obligations concept artists can't reveal their work til after a film opens. Now that Transformers: Dark of the Moon has been released the flood gates are open and a ton of cool concept art is being shown. The art is from Joel Chang, Warren Manser and Josh Nizzi.

    1. "Megatron in Africa" by Josh Nizzi

    Decepticon leader Megatron is a mess in this film, but here we get to see that he still had his dignity.

    2. Laserbeak as a Cute Penguin by Warren Manser
    I'm still not sure if this was in the movie, but Warren Manser has a design of a cute toy penguin transforming into the assassin bird "Laserbeak." Hilarious.


    3. "Breakdown v4a" by Josh Nizzi


    To keep people from guessing the evil Soundwave was in the movie they named him "Breakdown." He has Laserbeak on his arm and sports an awesome speaker system. If you look close you can see a major spoiler from the film.

    4. "Blitzwing, Colossus" by Joel Chang

    Here Shockwave (Blitzwing) is riding another renamed Decepticon named Driller (aka Colossus).

    5. Driller attacks a skyscraper by Joel Chang

    We never see all of Driller in the film because he's huge! Here we see Driller attacking the N.E.S.T. team in a skyscraper. Notice they're wearing full armor battlesuits. This was in the script, but never made it to the screen.

    6. "Flying Optimus" by Warren Manser
    In the new film heroic Autobot leader Optimus Prime pulls a trailer with an arsenal of weapons including a flying suit. Here he brings death from the above.


    7. Laserbeak Attacks by Warren Manser / B. Procter
    Laserbeak takes on a much more fearsome and important role in this film. Here we see him swooping into an attack. Love the stormy background. Very dramatic.

    8. Ark Wreckage on the Dark Side of the Moon by Joel Chan
    Here's a real dramatic shot of the wreckage of the Autobot "Ark" crash site by Joel Chan. Notice the two astronauts coming up on the right. In 1969, the crew of Apollo 11 lands on the Moon to explore the craft. The colors and looming shadow of the Earth in the background is stunning.

    8. "Flash with Dog" by Josh Nizzi
    Here we see Leadfoot (aka Flash) one of the "Wreckers," a commando unit that transforms into heavily armed NASCAR Sprint Cup Series Chevrolet Impala stock cars. I really like the idea of him having a robot junkyard dog. He's great.

    9. "N.E.S.T. Soldier" by Josh Nizzi
    Here we see more of the armor used by the government strike team known as N.E.S.T. It never made it into the film except for a glove and mine. It would have been awesome and made a lot of sense. How do humans fight robots? A robot suit of course.

    10. Bumble Bee by Warren Manser
    I love the insane amount of detail in these concept drawings. I heard Michael Bay wanted to know what each part did too, so it had to be right.

    What do you think of the illustrations? Let me know!
