Description
Adding a new Rob Haynes piece is a rare occurrence and always a pleasure given how rare is art has been and become.
I was super impressed by Daredevil Ninjas back when and Rob’s commission work (and his old website) was delightful as his take was then so fresh and far ahead of the artistic trend of the day.
His way of showing movement is incredible and his use of markers may seem banal today but at the end of the 90s/2000s, it was VERY novel.
I didn’t think/know I needed another Iron fist by rob after that one where he is fighting the Bat but here we are.
What’s not to love here? The fighting stance, the sense of movement (enhanced by those flying pieces of his costume which make for a great X composition), the foreshortening of the fist, the determination on his face, the minimalistic approach to delineate his muscles (Toth would approve), the use of markers that makes the piece sing and pop, the way he used different layers of markers to value the shadows on his body and a lighter grey for those underneath him…
Simply fantastic !
Rob, where are you? (and if anybody knows, please let us know. Can we get an update per chance, Casey?)

What happened to this guy? I remember liking his work back in the day and this is an excellent example of what he's capable of.

Awesome use of shadow to convey dynamic movement! Sweet Iron Fist from Haynes

Great action pose and I really like the shadows which give the piece a cool 3-D effect.

An excellent rendition of the character, looking like a cell from an Iron Fist animated show! The lighting technique using the colors is nicely done and as Jim said above, the added shadow is a simple addition that makes the piece so much more interesting that most "single character, no background" pieces.

Drawn and colored like classic anime cel!  The thin lines and color changes for shadows enhance the dynamic action of the piece!

Fabulopus Iron Fist pin-up by  Rob Haynes! Love the dramatic pose and the sheer intensity of the pose. Beautiful colors as well. Great pick-up, congrats!
