“The most difficult thing I had to achieve in this film was creating the fabric for the Captain America Stealth Suit.  The Russos were very specific that they wanted a suit that was made of textured, woven, hard fabric like a Kevlar and not a printed stretch suit like you see over and over again in these films. But in reality it needed to be made of a stretch fabric that would allow movement and comfort, as well as the ability to be constructed into a more realistic military type trouser and protective top. I went through many incarnations of printed textures on stretch which then posed a whole new set of challenges and problems.  The HD cameras made raised textures strobe or moiré.  So finding the right one became a trial.  Then the printing ink would shine like plastic, which I disliked.  It took four months of research and development to create a texture that seems so simple and was yet, so complicated.” – Judianna Makovsky

Winter Soldier Blanket – more or less complete! My job is done, anyway. Emma is going to outline the star in black, and may yet do radiating lines from the star points to the edge. Knit in 8 ply acrylic with a soft handle and a slight shine. Absolutely winged it with the colourwork star, making it up as I went, then once I switched to the silver rings, I used pi shawl increases. There’s slight ruffling because Emma wanted smooth increases, so I did kfab rather than yarnovers, which would have left eyelet holes. For scale – that is spread on our double bed. Final stitch count was 576. I used seven 100g balls of silver, part of a 100g ball of red, and about 1 ½ 80g balls of black, so the final weight is fucking heavy.

Newly acquired comics – Hawkeye: Blindspot and Captain America: Man Out Of Time. Blindspot is unfortunately a very flimsy-feeling softcover, because the entry on the website I bought it from was wrong and said it was hardback. I got a partial refund, but I kept it, because I couldn’t find a single hardcover available for sale on the internet. Maybe I’ll find one in the future. Man Out Of Time is hardback and lovely, and I’m just happy to own it.

“Originally the movie opened with a World War II sequence,” Feige says. “It was in the script early on and we boarded and did some concept art for it (ed. – top 2 pictures) to try and remind the audience that he is from the past, reestablish Bucky as a character, and use that to transition into the world. Before production, as we were going through it, we realize the Smithsonian served that purpose, and the best thing for the movie would be just to throw the audience into the modern world with Cap. Then everything we needed to know about his experiences in World War II we could get out of his discussions with Sam and Peggy and the Smithsonian trip., which is why the WWII sequence fell out of the film.” – The Art of Captain America: The Winter Soldier

This is the last one for now: the fifth reason why one may want to kidnap Tony Stark as presented in Four (Or Five) Reasons for Kidnapping Tony Stark by Scifigrl47. There is still one thing I’d like to draw for this fic, but I don’t know when or if I’ll be able to do it.

HAHAHAHHAH!  Look at the armor’s replacement arm!  Fantastic!

Also Steve’s cranky face.  You know he remembered this at some point and Tony had to explain himself.

It’s such a pleasant thought.
