Mythos: Captain America, Page 15 (panel 1 detail). 2008.
Acryla Gouache and gouache on bristol board, 11 x 17".
I had always wanted this panel to be part of a double-page spread, extending out to the left to display the vastness of the Allied Powers' invasion of Normandy, but we had limited space and I had already extended one page (the Avengers spread) into two. Most of the reference for this composition came from the WWII books and various images found on-line. The photos below were mostly taken for general lighting and gesture, so I didn't follow them all too closely. Although one of the maquettes is supposed to be Peter Parker, the features are generic enough to pass for a young Bucky Barnes.
Extraordinary!!!
ReplyDeleteHaha, I like how you include the little head/ bust

Yeah, Intuos 1... I rock it too.
ReplyDeleteThanks, guys!
ReplyDeleteMike, I'm afraid to say that I have since upgraded to the the Intuos 3... although size-wise, I "downgraded" to the 4 x 6" which I like much better. The old one worked just fine (gave it to a friend, in fact) but I love the new button features on the side. Of course, then they had to come out with the 4th generation, which has even more features.
