the iron princess - excerpts

These are excerpts from this massive action sequence I boarded out for my portfolio. There are no spoilers.

I still don't like the title, but it's an homage to the title 'Princess Iron Fan' a really old movie directed by John Woo.

This is not the ending.

having this exact hair. It's actually an oddly unmanageable hairstyle.

I am Iron Man.

Production still from 3rd year film, Elixir. Not many people know this but I'm a big fan of chinky eyes.

Also suits, and looking sincere. But since this was my film, I got to do what I want.
