I’m gearing up for the next Diorama installment: Iron Man!

So where exactly do things begin?
With Storyboards of course!

Each panel is “PAINSTAKINGLY” scribbled out on paper. (Painstakingly is in caps cause, well, I’ve got self-proclaimed ADD, so an hour is a WHOLE lotta time to me!). Although you MAY be able to see a whip of some sort, I’m not gonna tell what’s going on in each panel.. it’s gonna be a big surprise!

Lookout for the finished product!
