Captain America memorial from The Art of Captain America: The Winter Soldier:
“The murals were a unique challenge and took a really long time to paint,” Marvel’s Head of Visual Development Ryan Meinerding says. “They’re printed enormous, and I’ve never painted anything that was meant to be printed so large. The one with all the Howling Commandos was printed about 25 feet tall and 60 feet wide, and had all the mannequins in costumes in front of it. The exhibit was real — they built it in a museum in Cleveland."
Meinerding says the murals also have a strong emotional presence: “The scene is also an introduction to Bucky. In painting the murals, I was trying to get as many moments between Cap and Bucky as possible. So you’ll see Cap running with Bucky next to him or laughing with Bucky to reinforce the relationship they had.”
My slowness in drawing the next HTMYAW comic is making me feel guilty, so here’s another teaser panel from page #1 (which is almost finished! I might even finish it tonight).
Poor Bucky is looking a little groggy after his involuntary nap from the last comic. READ IT HERE.
“[The Winter Soldier] is a wonderfully, beautifully tragic figure in the sense of is he the world’s most feared assassin or is he the world’s longest serving POW. Is he innocent by reason of insanity or the equivalent of it because he’s been mind controlled or is he irredeemable?”
Lawyer GF says that she’s pretty sure he would found Not Guilty on account of autonomy, at least under UK law. Which isn’t relevant for fic or anything, but it’s sort of comforting to know for those of us who want Bucky to have only nice things and warm blankets.
It’s amazing how there are still gif sets of Sebastian Stan crying that I haven’t seen yet.
Bucky Barnes gifset bucky why are you crying
Bucky’s not the guy who cries during fights. He’s not. He’s better than that, and really, their fights are never that bad. They shout, they throw up their hands, one of them slams a door, and usually that’s enough. They’ve never argued about the big things. They talk them out.
But sometimes, Steve says something, and— Bucky knows he’s turned out okay. He knows he’s pulled himself together, knows he’s not the fucked up kid with the bad grades and worse attitude who rolled into town all those years ago. He’s put himself back together, become the man he wanted to be, and he’s got Steve and Dot and all their friends because he worked hard to get here. But sometimes, when they’re arguing, Steve’ll send him this look and use the word disappointed instead of pissed off, and it’s like a Pavlovian response.
Because, yeah, Steve’s disappointed at Bucky for forgetting about those plans they made three months back and double-booking, or for forgetting Dot at the grocery store (for ten minutes, Steve, come on), or for bitching about his frustration about something to Natasha and Clint when Steve was in earshot and also, when Bucky hadn’t said anything to Steve. He knows it’s situational.
But he feels like the disappointment’s broader, and deeper, and that he might lose everything. Just in that second. Just when Steve pulls out the d-word.
He feels like a fucked-up fifteen-year-old, when Steve’s disappointed in him.
It takes Steve’s arms to remember he’s not.
“Embrace your differences and the qualities about you that you think are weird. Eventually, they’re going to be the only things separating you from everyone else."
