cap_ironman | First Marvel Art post: For What It's Worth (There's Nowhere I'd Rather Be)

*waves hello shyly* I've never posted on this community yet but I've been a devout lurker/appreciator for a while now. I've always been meaning to draw more for Steve and Tony (oh, how I love you boys!) but the drawing of human musculature remains intimidating. I hope this will still prove to be of some artistic/entertainment merit. ._.

Title: For What It's Worth (There's Nowhere I'd Rather Be)
Artist:

red_rahl
Rating: G
Characters/Pairing: Captain America/Ironman (or -woman)
Disclaimer: These characters belong to Marvel. I'm just borrowing them for a little bit.
Warnings: Alternate Earths and gender permutations exploration.
Done For:

oh_shit_santa's OSS Summer Challenge '09: Ride It Like You Stole It: Sidesaddle Edition! (It was a free-for-all fest in terms of fandoms that had to include females in the work in some fashion.)
Notes: I decided to draw Steve/Tony in all their gender permutations because I was always taken with that one Alternate Earth's Cap/Iron Woman wedding and then I wondered what the couple would be like on other Earths if their genders were changed up some more. Hopefully what I came up with isn't too out there.
- Title was conceived with Steve's last question to Tony in Civil War and Tony's answer in Civil War: Confession in mind.
- The first panel is totally wishful thinking on my part. (Damn you, Marvel, why can't your Civil War be more like Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2?!)
- In the pertinent panels, coming up with a design for Iron Woman's armor was hard (especially the unseen front part). !_!
- I shamelessly borrowed the background for the last panel from the Civil War What-if issue.

This is a good post and you should feel good about it. I love the fact that you didn't modify the costume at all, and it still looks really feminine. That amused me. As another poster said, the star becomes something of a eye-magnet. I'm impressed you actually got the scale-mail. That's hard to do correctly. One thing though. The first one, the 616 one, I'm not sure what Tony's lower body is doing. He's about, what? 6 feet out of armor*, 6'6'' in? So I'm imagining Tony kind of crouching/about to collapse/curling forward that doesn't quite word unless Steve is standing on some wreckage. Stev's about... wanna say 6'2'', but it's not like they're consistant about things like that.

Oh, and Steve's hair in the last one. Very pretty. And sensible. No easily grabable flowing locks for Steph! I love the gender flip posts.

*Keep misspelling this amour. Odd trains of thought get started this way.
