Captain America Civil War: Iron Man

First off, sorry for how long this took. I had quite the illness I had to get over that put me back a few paces. All is well again. So without further ado, I present you with "Tonya Stark" aka Iron Man. The genderbending continues on this weeks installment of Civil War with the woman of red and gold.

I'm never going to have the absolute charisma of Robert Downey Jr and how he is most definitely Tony Stark in real life. I don't think anyone can deny that. I tried to bring a little of the movie into this look. The more emotional side mind not the battle hardened side. If you haven't seen the movie yet I can highly recommend it. I promise not to give any spoilers. And if I do, well be sure to unfollow me on any platform because that is complete and utter blasphemy.

I wanted to bring this look back to Tony's roots. In his lab making robots all covered in grease and dirt being a genius. And he's working so hard to just not think about anything that plagues him by putting all his efforts into manual labour.

It's a look into a Tony who has lost so much but is at that place where he has to be strong. To hide all of himself behind sarcasm and jokes a very thin veneer to mask his heart and vulnerability. Hopefully I conveyed that if only just a little bit.

Captain America Civil War: "Stephanie" Rogers

Welcome to week two. Captain America Civil War. I'll be making some interesting choices this week as there's not many woman I can portray. So, sit back and enjoy a week of genderbending.

I've been waiting for this moment. I enjoy the Captain America movies (well mostly all superhero movies with some noted exceptions) and this one looks epic. Marvel is really stepping up the game to a beautifully large collaboration. It kinda reminds me of those huge Marvel character spreads that were Where's Waldo like in character intensity. 

We all know what happens in the comics. At least I hope we do. Spoilers: I'm not going to tell you. Let's just hope that the movie deviates a little for some mystery. I know some people get annoyed when movies take creative license from subjects that they love but if you know everything that's coming how exciting would it really be? I like to think of it as having two separate mediums you can enjoy. Sometimes more!

I decided to bring Captain America back to the 40s and make him a woman. I drew inspiration from the time period and one Peggy Carter. It was a very fun experiment turning a morally upright man into a confident lady.
