Fanart: 300

[ani-bester.livejournal.com]

Ok so, pandanoai and axolotl_lan mentioned a 300 inspired theme for hitting 300 members. I love crack art, especially on boring work days, so I had to. I just had to.

Artist: ani_bester
Title: Spartans Assemble
Rating: G (maybe PG considering the Spartan outfits, but still)
Pairing: Steve/Tony, Peter
Disclaimer: I don't own anything created by Stan Lee, Jack Kirby, or Frank Miller. I just have fun.
Warnings: uhhh skimpy outfits? Tony leering? I think these are expected.
NOTES: I actually didn't think I'd pull this off, but it came out better than I expected, so I'm why happy. And for me, Spider man makes the whole thing, but I'm biased *L*




Tony's line is left over from a argument he and Steve had in my head, not sure if it works as well out of context here, but it was cute so I kept it. I like breaking the fourth wall.

::claps happily:: Oh you have no idea of how amazingly gleeful i am right now!

MUCH LOVE! xoxo

ee thank you so much for the wonderful praise! THe artistic ego is all pufyf and happy now ^__^


Thank you so much for the inspiration!

And heh, yes I don't know how they got Peter there, but I'm glad they did. Probably related to Tony!heroworship or something (I mean the man got him to unmask. getting him into the spartan outfit can't have been as hard as that *snerk*)

*dies* Poor Peter. Don't you know everyone already stares at your ass? Which is why you hang out with Matt.

Tony's look is perfect!

[pandanoai.livejournal.com]

OMG Tony's look so is! He looks so gleeful that Steve agreed to this! That and he's totally checking out his ass :P

Steve's look is great too, like "I'm only doing this for you."

I just want to know how Tony talked Steve into letting Peter come and play :D

[kijikun.livejournal.com]

There was a secret deal made with Mary-Jane and Matt. ^_^

MA!

I will go without sodas for a week for this comic!

*G*

you have no idea how happy you just made me. Thank you!

[thironmaden.livejournal.com]

This is awesome! I can't stop grinning! :D

Re: MA!

[ani-bester.livejournal.com]

Thank you!
I had such fun making it I'm so glad everyone finds it as humorous as I did!

[lovelyracketeer.livejournal.com]

Hahaha, this is so perfect. I love how obvious Tony is about checking out Steve's ass. xD Subtle he is most certainly not.

[ani-bester.livejournal.com]

xD Subtle he is most certainly not.

Only when he needs to be and right now, he knows Steve appreciates it. deep down. Even if he won't admit to it out loud *grin*

Hahaha, this is so perfect
Thank you ^__^

Fourth wall breakage FTW! ^_^

Absolutely hysterical and so spot-on with Tony's gleeful enjoyment (that man has no shame! ^^) And Steve's stoic even though he so doesn't want to be there expression. And I totally agree - Peter just makes the picture. He's so adorable, wanting his mask like that. His little "Oh, God" at the end is too perfect. ^_^

[pandanoai.livejournal.com]

The forth wall is incessantly begging to be broken... just ask Deadpool. :P

[ani-bester.livejournal.com]

Oh? (never seen much of him somehow) ^^

[pandanoai.livejournal.com]

:3 ::points to icon::

deadpool is AWESOME! <3

[ani-bester.livejournal.com]

Absolutely hysterical and so spot-on
YAY! Thank you so much. Things like this give me confidence to carry on with more crack art. I worry soemtimes about characterizations when I just get into a fandom.

And I totally agree - Peter just makes the picture.
Peter makes a lot of things for me. I grew up loving him and him being on New Avengers filledme with joy. He's such a opposite personality to both Steve and Tony that he makes for a great character to play off 'em.

THE MEMBERS APPRECIATE STEVE THIS SUBLIME BIT OF FAN CREATIVITY.

[ani-bester.livejournal.com]

*Glee!!!*

Thank you so so much.
you have no idea how much I did not think this would work. I do not think I've ever drawn a shirtless man as big as Steve before!

[axolotl-lan.livejournal.com]

I LOVE YOU

Also Peter *snuggles* we'll give you the mask maybe though it'd be a damn shame! but you won't get pants or a shirt mister!

and Cap and oooh Tony!

[ani-bester.livejournal.com]

Thank you! I'm so glad you like it and *LOL* yeah poor Peter. Think of what'll happen if any of the kids he teaches see him *snerk*

and Cap and oooh Tony!

You know Tony has mad powers of persuasion when . . . *L*

[mizuko060.livejournal.com]

Pahahaha! That is AWESOME!
I love their expressions and the sketchiness and the painterly quality and everything!
Pooooor Peter...hanging around all these freaks. ^^ *hugs*

[ani-bester.livejournal.com]

sketchiness and the painterly quality and everything

All right! So do I, actually I'm a big fan of a loose style. I can do a more "polished" illustration if I want, but there's something to me, very interesting in a sketchier look.

Pooooor Peter...hanging around all these freaks.

Oh like he doesn't fit right in *LOL*

[smilingskull.livejournal.com]

THIS IS MADE OF SO MUCH FABULOUS IT DEMANDS CAPSLOCK! Also, I love that you gave Steve the necklace, hehe. :D

SO AWESOME.

[ani-bester.livejournal.com]

THIS IS MADE OF SO MUCH FABULOUS IT DEMANDS CAPSLOCK

EE! Thank you!

Also, I love that you gave Steve the necklace, hehe. :D


Oh he had to have it. I mean, who else could =P
I actually almost forgot it though, It literally was the last thing I drew before I started coloring it ^^

[adafrog.livejournal.com]

hee!

[ani-bester.livejournal.com]

Thanks ^__^

[liliaeth]

Oh I love this, esp. Peter.

[ani-bester.livejournal.com]

Hee thank you!

I epseically enjoy Peter in this too, but then I especially enjoy Peter period. I was *so* trhilled to see him in the New Avengers.

[ravens-rising.livejournal.com]

EEEEEEEE! *drools* And haha poor Peter. <333

[ani-bester.livejournal.com]

Peter just made this for me ^__^. I think it helped offset Steve to have someone even more reluctant in the picture.

Plus, I love writing for Peter.

[runenklinge.livejournal.com]

ha! I knew it would end up like this, now this number will always be associated with half-naked spartans

..poor, poor spidey^^

[pandanoai.livejournal.com]

Of course 300 will always be associated with half-naked spartans \ o /

can you honestly tell me you wouldn't want it any other way? :D

[ani-bester.livejournal.com]

And it could be associated with worse. I mean the poor number 666 really got screwed *L*

[ani-bester.livejournal.com]

It had to been done *grin* There was too much cracktastic possibilities.

Plus tony was very insistent that it was a brilliant idea, though I consider that source biased *L*

[mcqueens-queen.livejournal.com]

That is just too freaking epic. I wasn't a big fan of 300, but since it inspired this art, I'm glad its around. ^_^

[ani-bester.livejournal.com]

Oh wow thank you!

Heh, 300 was fun for me, but not somethign I'm rushing out to buy on DVD. I'm not actually a huge Frank Miller fan, though his movie adaptations have been pretty good.

[elspethdixon.livejournal.com]

I love Steve's massive, swooshy Frank-Miller-Style cloak. And the gleaming, naked chests, and the arm guards, and Peter's miserable expression (Yes, Peter, it's Avengers hazing. Clint and Pietro had to dress up like Roman gladiators and stage a mock battle for everyone's amusement).

Re: LOL, Peter is so in character

[ani-bester.livejournal.com]

Clint and Pietro had to dress up like Roman gladiators and stage a mock battle for everyone's amusement

*LOL* Marvel jsut leaves out all these interesting stories, right.

I'm glad you liked it. And the swooshy 'what wind is causing THAT' cloaks. I love abusing reality like that in art.

LOL, Peter is so in character

[jazzypom.livejournal.com]

*loves on him*

Re: LOL, Peter is so in character

[ani-bester.livejournal.com]

OHH thank you, thank you, thank you
It's so great to hear I did a good job on that!

[metallic-sweet.livejournal.com]

You are amazing. This makes my insane day a good insane day! Moar plzkthx. ♥

[ani-bester.livejournal.com]

^__^ Thanks! I'm glad I could make a day go insane in a good way better than a bad way!

Oh I'm working on more. These two inspire me as I've not been inspired since old school Starbuck/Apollo ^__^
