Iron Cat
I wanted to make a iron man character really bad. I’ve always loved the suit-on suit-off animations from the Marvel movies so I wanted to give that a try. Along the way I got the suggestion for a “catling gun” instead of the regular palm blasters. I also had a blast developing the yarn for the center with C4d hair objects.
Rough Sketches
I wanted the figure of Iron Cat to be comically top heavy and imposing. That way there would be a neat helmet-opening reveal when there is just a cute cat inside. I’ve learned to always sketch first to get your size and concept down but to leave room to play when you’re modeling.
I did a curly hair render on the yarn to make it look real. I was really happy with it and might do a similar style in the future. The cat’s bumpy fur texture is directly generated from the last flat sketch I did in Procreate.
