Todays word is newspaper.
Concept
This is another one of those words that I had a quick idea on, and wanted to get it out the door, as I had 26 words to do this round, and only 8 weeks to do them in.
The idea was simply have someone reading a newspaper, and reacting to it. At first I didn't know what would be on the newspaper, or who would be reading it, so I spelunked thru my toybox, and soon came to the conclusion I should use Tony Stark. Why? Because he is the only figure I have with articulated fingers, which means I could pose his hand holding a newspaper pretty accurately. Plus Tony's head is very well modeled.
The next question was what would be on the newspaper? This was shot after Avengers: Infinity War came out, but before Avengers: Endgame. As a result I knew Tony had suffered a defeat, but didn't know the extent of it. When he finally makes it back to earth he'd catch up on the news. That moment is what I wanted to capture.
Execution
The first thing I needed was a newspaper. Since my Tony Stark action figure is 12" high, I realized the scale newspaper would be big enough to see the little details, so I spent some time mocking up a detailed newspaper in Photoshop.
I then printed off 3 copies of this, cut them out, and then put them together like a newspaper. I spent some time working the paper to give it creases and a "already read" look, then stuck it in Tony's hands.
The photography was pretty basic on this one. However when I got it in Photoshop I changed Tony's expression to be sadder (using the liquify tool), and even added a little tear. I figured Tony would be sad to see the results of his failure to defeat Thanos. Endgame proved me right on this, which is nice.

My only question is where is he reading the paper? Bathroom perhaps?
