Iron Man and Fin Fang Foom

Been awhile since I did fanart, so I thought I'd draw Iron Man (I'm a huge fan of this version of the ol' shellhead, and of course with some updated accessories.  hehe).  To the right is Fin Fang Foom, a character I never drew before, so I thought I'd give it a shot.  :)
