Description

My submission for Eurotuner's Photochop Challenge 8.

I can't help but think of Iron Man every time I see the Audi R8 ever since it was heavily promoted for the movie. Its so fitting for Tony Stark. But what about Iron Man? Well obviously Iron Man doesn't NEED a car, or flying vehicle of any sort, with that super cool suit. But this is just sort of a "what if?" type of thing. What if a car or combat vehicle of some kind was given the power from the same "Arc-reactor" technology Tony Stark has in his chest and powers his suit? On top of that, give it all the weapons, gadgets, Artificial Intelligence, and technology of Iron Man's suit (and even a few of Stark Industries bigger and more infamous weapons), and this is what you get. So I made it look like a mock advertisement for Stark Industries. Its a little unorthodox as a submission for Eurotuner, a little too fictional and ridiculous for their reader's taste I imagine, but I couldn't help myself. This was just too much fun.

Besides the obvious color changes, and various weapons additions, I attempted to make the front of the car sort of resemble Iron Man's helmet face. The intake is supposed to mimic his mouth opening, and obviously the headlights represent the glowing eyes. Since its supposed to have an Arc-Reactor like that on Iron Man's chest, I quickly modeled and rendered a 3D model of one in Maya and then applied it to the hood of the car in Photoshop. I also added a digital "HUD" on the windshield so sort of give it a cock-pit feel as if its one giant LCD screen for the driver/pilot. This one image is composed of so many other images its not even funny. Even the sky background was created from a half a dozen images. The stars were added by hand, the moon was manipulated to be sort of faded out (also from a separate photo). The color levels were all changed, gradients were added to the sky, two separate cloud layers were added from different photos as well. Even Iron Man had to be changed quite a bit to match the brighter more vivid color scheme I chose for the vehicle. And finally various glow effects, fire, smoke, plasma, and sparks images were composed for the "energy" of both Iron Man and the vehicle itself to give the illusion of flight.
