IRONY MAN- THOR HEAD IN THE MORNING
(BEST SEEN HEROICALLY LARGE !!)
"HAIR OF THE GOD, MORTAL?"
"OWWWARGGGH !! GOTTA THUNDERING GREAT HEADACHE !! WHAT IN THE NAME OF SIR ISAMBARD BLOODY KINGDOM BRUNEL DID I DRINK LAST NIGHT?"
Poor old Tony Stark, he's been through the Ringer. The Civil War. The Aftermath. Captain America's assassination. Assembling the new Avengers and the national registered superhero teams. Mortally wounded in the Hypervelocity attacks. Subverted by Ultron. Now he's Director of SHIELD, not to mention the Illuminati crisis and the looming return of a considerably peeved Hulk to Earth.
To top it all they've cast Robert Downey Junior to play him in the Iron Man movie....
Something had to give.
He fell off the wagon.
And when Iron Man falls he falls far and hits hard.
And what he hits hardest is...himself.
Tony Stark's teammates in the Avengers knew all about his alcoholism and decided that the God of Thunder, Mighty Thor, should take a whack at applying aversion therapy.
Good old Thor. You can always rely upon him to hammer out a solution.

Well, Irony Man is back! What can I say, but deny any and all rumours that Mr Stark has been away in rehab.
The benchtop set didn't need to be too complex for this shot. The backdrop is the reverse side of my drawing board. The widgets in front of it are the baseplates for Asylum Klingon action figures. The cartoon Iron Man and Thor are from the Marvel Super Hero Squad range, and were packaged together. Bemusingly, I've had this idea stuck in the back of my head for a while, the coincidental team-up just made it easier to knock it loose!
I didn't want to make this another Noirish shot, mainly because a hangover in the full blaze of morning light is even worse! I couldn't resist bumping up the lighting levels with some appropriate thunderbolts. I used lens flares and specialised brushes including some custom Photoshop Lighning Bolt brushes found here:
Oh, and who else should Tony Stark, supergenius, swear by but the great engineer Sir Isambard?
