I tracked down Kevin back when Iron Man 2 was out and commissioned him to make this for me- since then, I've seen him use the same pose for other people commissions but I think mine was first- he seemed genuinely suprised that someone would track him down via email for a sketch and did not know what to even charge me!
In truth, I think he charged too little. Heck of a nice guy too- he sent me prelims via email and everything!

I'm very happy to have one of Kevin's sketches framed on my wall- for those not in the know, he designed the War Machine, Hulkbuster and several other now-classic Iron Man armors- and is, to me, right up there with Bob Layton as one of the all-time Iron Man greats!

This piece is pretty huge too- 11x17"!

Funny story. When I first met Kevin, I asked for an Iron Man and War Machine back to back, and then he showed me your art piece and did a quick sketch for me referencing this piece. It's a great piece you have there. Mine was very rough so I decided to have Mike Decarlo (who worked with Kev on comics in the 90's) ink it and requested smoke to cover the feet.

HA! So THAT'S what happened! It's actually very cool that we have a matching set- I had assumed that yours was a later version because Kev had mentioned that he had not done the characters in ages- and because yours is so much more refined. I just thought he'd gotten back into the groove and detailed yours more! Thanks for letting me know- your piece is excellent, BTW!
