Description This started out as a sketch for practice, but I decided to turn it into a more finished pic. I wanted to draw a heroic and gritty Capt. America fighting a rougher version of his old enemies (those bright green and yellow Hydra boys). I made up this army of shocktroopers... each wearing a gas mask painted like a red skull.

(I wanna pile on some more baddies and finish out a big BV-238 flying overhead, but I probably won't...it's all just for fun. Hope you enjoy!)

Thank you! Believe it or not it wasn't really very movie inspired. I saw the WWII helmet and liked the more practical/functional design of the stenciled wings. That was the inspiration for my approach.
Thanks again, I'm glad you like it!

Great depiction of the character and the action he is laying down. I really like the intensity and sense of movement in the piece. The light and shadow work very well together. High quality work here, man. Damn fine!

Hey, man! Long time no see! I didn't know you were a deviant - cool! (I'm new)
I wanted Cap to look really heavy - hard to move - and if he hits you, it feels like a sledge hammer. That's why I lit him like a big statue.
Thanks a lot - I'm glad you like it!

Cocoaprints [2011-02-12 19:20:28 +0000 UTC]

I really like the feel of this picture. The darkness of it, the number of baddies, the question of if it's a fight the Captain can win. It is a nice piece of work.
