Get A Good Look At Iron Man's Arc Reactor From Christopher S. Ross Concept Art

Tony Stark's chest Arc Reactor in Iron Man (2008) is a technical marvel. No one gives us a better look at it's wondrous technology than Christopher S. Ross (Men In Black 3, Avengers, Minority Report).

It's interesting to see the elaborate device Tony Stark could - and should - have had to work on it. Of course, we wouldn't have gotten the hilarious scene of Pepper taking it in and out for him.



Official Synopsis:
From Marvel Studios and Paramount Pictures comes Iron Man, an action-packed take on the tale of wealthy philanthropist Tony Stark (Robert Downey Jr.), who develops an invulnerable robotic suit to fight the throes of evil. In addition to being filthy rich, billionaire industrialist Tony Stark is also a genius inventor. When Stark is kidnapped and forced to build a diabolical weapon, he instead uses his intelligence and ingenuity to construct an indestructible suit of armor and escape his captors. Once free, Stark discovers a deadly conspiracy that could destabilize the entire globe, and dons his powerful new suit on a mission to stop the villains and save the world. Gwyneth Paltrow co-stars as his secretary, Virginia "Pepper" Potts, while Terrence Howard fills the role of Jim "Rhodey" Rhodes, one of Stark's colleagues, whose military background leads him to help in the formation of the suit. Jon Favreau directs, with Marvel movie veterans Avi Arad and Kevin Feige producing.

Official Synopsis:
In Men in Black 3, Agents J (Will Smith) and K (Tommy Lee Jones) are back... in time. J has seen some inexplicable things in his 15 years with the Men in Black, but nothing, not even aliens, perplexes him as much as his wry, reticent partner. But when K's life and the fate of the planet are put at stake, Agent J will have to travel back in time to put things right. J discovers that there are secrets to the universe that K never told him -- secrets that will reveal themselves as he teams up with the young Agent K (Josh Brolin) to save his partner, the agency, and the future of humankind. The film is directed by Barry Sonnenfeld. The screenplay is written by Etan Cohen, based on the Malibu Comic by Lowell Cunningham. The producers are Walter F.

You Were Never Trained For This 'Avengers' Hawkeye Concept Art

Update: Quote from Fabian Lacey
To me, of all the superheroes in The Avengers (2012) probably the trickiest to design was Agent Clint Barton known as "Hawkeye". Not because he's iconic, like Captain America, or intricate, like Thor, but because he's so boring. He's just a guy with a bow and arrow. Still, they managed to make him work thanks to his quiver of trick arrows and Jeremy Renner's arms.

Here's some concept art that takes you inside Hawkeye's quiver and a close look at those arrows he was shooting around including some alternate designs for the virus arrow that disabled S.H.I.E.L.D. and an arrowhead for disabling Iron Man.

The first ones are from Fabian Lacey (Star Trek, Green Lantern, I Am Number Four).

Lacey told me, "One of the most exciting characters to design for was Hawkeye.  It was really important to us that we gave him some credibility and some game changing weapons when it came to being able to battle with the other more well known Marvel Heavy weights. One of the ideas we toyed with was giving him an arrow that could momentarily disable Iron Man."
