CURIOUS

[simmysim.livejournal.com]

I made the following for a friend, to help clear her mind of bad art. It got me curious. The art is different for every arc, so we get a different Tony and a different Steve every few issues, but most people who read fic, or even just think about characters while they aren't reading comics, have a picture in their head that is their own representation of the character.



alright I decided to change them to links since they're stretching the screen and I hate that :||

Tony in my head collage. I thought I preferred Tony with a more long/lanky/angular look but uh lol apparently not!

Steve in my head collage.

Steve didn't surprise me at all, I am very aware that I like him to look like a fucking tank. xD
I was gonna be more comprehensive but life D:



Who is Tony and who is Steve in your head? What are your favorite looks? There are so many different variations of these guys, I'm really curious to see what some of you picture when you write and read!

Maleev's art on the Confession is my definitive Steve, and pretty close to my definitive Tony (definitive Tony = Patrick Zircher + Maleev + a little old skool Don Heck & Gene Colan + a dash of the volume 3 stuff in the Original Post's collage).

The New Avengers art on Steve I just can't get into, because DARK EYEBROWS WTF?

Well... I have a confession to make. I was mostly looking at the arms.

ARMS!

The arms are indeed very nice ^_^. That issue is largely responsible for my conviction that Steve's entire casual wardrobe ought to consist of tight, blue t-shirts (Tony's should be all grease-stained wifebeaters and goggles).

Ungh, lord yes.

Also, I agree about the dark eyebrows being so so weird, but the rest of his face and body is so close to what I see in my head that I tend to disregard that one flaw. The armssss and that smile. :D
