For this piece I have Made a landscape and made a mountain with the pen tool then i added some shadows with the burn tool. Then I got the roman soldier and copied them with the ctrl j and made it look as if the army was bigger and after that I changed the levels to make it darker. Then i added film grain. After that i put a stroke on the outside to give it a comic look and then i put in the color halftone filter and thats it.
for this gif i used the smudge tool and smugded the face of iron man on multiple frames until he dissappears. the link is above.
