Leave your roast down below!

The rough thing about when the likeness doesn't hit is it's hard to figure out what went wrong. Some ideas:
1. I was sculpting off of his Doctor Doom reveal at Comic Con. Where he's clenching his jaw and pushing it forward which gives him a much flatter face. (And tbh I don't know that I necessarily captured the tension in his face to sell that's what's going on)
2. I think the eyes are too sunken in and the corners of the eye needed to be pushed further back to reveal more.

All in all, I probably screwed myself over by picking a very specific pose, that I had extremely limited photo reference of, where he is missing his signature goatee.

Good work, but this is not Robert Downey Jr., looks different

Here we see Robert Downey Jr. half way into his transformation into Adrien Brody.

Robert Downey Jr. mixed with Paul Rust and Kevin Spacey

Woah… I just looked it up, and RDJ looks really different without the facial hair and sunglasses… also he looks very different now that he’s older.

I think we’re all so used to Iron Man that our brains break a bit when we see what he looks like now.
I’m sorry I doubted you Steve. Great job as always.
Your skill is impeccable and my brain is broken.

I hate to break it to people, even RDJ doesn't look like Tony Stark anymore.

[tristenlosey]

While the resemblance is a bit off, there are genuinely times shown in the video it does look like RDJ. I think its just one of those cases where not every angle was as close to the actor as he could get, which is perfectly fine. He uploads amazing sculptures and once in awhile your going to have one or two that dont nail it on the head exactly. You still make great videos and im excited to see what more you create!

[littlebacchus]

I thought something was off about this sculpt, then I realised it that I'm not used to seeing him without a beard.

[User_]

Your talented, i could never do this myself...but that's not RDJ

[jdestrodegr]

What happened? This is not the quality you're normally giving us. Barely looks like Robert Downey Jr.

[BLISSZONE]

I think his eyes were too close together, but still great sculpture as always

[GeekX]

You know, it's funny that he returns as Doctor Doom. I didn't even know that there was a story about Iron Man being him. And just by coincidence, in Lego Marvel Super Heroes, when we play in Free Mode, we always start using Iron Man and Doctor Doom to choose other characters.

[pidimsmmpr]

THAT'S SO DOPE!!! Great job, Steve.

[voghtuss]

Actual sculptor here ✋ on the thumbnail it looks off but on the video from all the angles looks great, it's clear lots of people really got used to the ironman look and when you take away that people get confused and rdont find Robert downey junior anymore because he is now lots older, skinnier, without his goatee and with more hair than before combining with his lot more skinny face looks like a different man and a much older one, that's confusing lots of people, sculpt looks great and even before the colours and hair work hou can tell is RDJ, amazing work.

[Luke]

Yeah that’s not RDJ haha. No worries man, we all know how gifted you are at this stuff. You’ve been absolutely killing it with your stuff for a long time now. Just chalk this up as a brain fart or something

[pingpongpogo]

Kudos to you for following through. Even though you knew the likeness was off, you didn’t give up. I’m actually surprised by how many you nail. These people/characters are so familiar to everyone, that even a tiny bit off, and you can tell. There’s still so much to love about this.

[anxieturt]

this comment section REEKS of entitlement, holy shit. there’s a difference between criticism and being flat out rude.

[comicfan]

Not gonna lie, when you take away the facial hair, it suddenly becomes a lot more subtle that he’s played by the same guy who played Iron Man

[gregoryhattenfels]

Watching you demolish beautiful pieces is heartbreaking but watching you sculpt is wonderful. Thanks big fella . Safe travels. 🥰
