ARTIST CLAIMS ARE UNDERWAY!

It takes not one, but two stairs for Short to be taller than Tall

Tall can apparently see Short's scalp?? This is news to Short.

Tall must hug around Short's shoulders, and Short must hug around Tall's waist

Short's face is smashed into Tall's chest during said hugging

Tall can rest chin on Short's head. CHIN ON HEAD!

Short must look directly upward for kissing, head tilted fully backward

Tall's ideas regard cupboard organization are very different than Short's

Tall must walk very slow to match Short's pace

Tall can see over most crowds, and thus is great at leading the way out of them

Tall often reaches over Short's head to reach something in the cupboard

Short can walk under a lot of open cupboard doors and thus, leaves them open when they should probably be shut

Short can't really be big spoon, more like tiny spoon clinging on for dear life

When Tall big spoons it is Full Encompassment of warmth from all angles for Short

Short can fit in the bath, Tall cannot really do that comfortably

Hand-holding isn't really lined up tbh, Short needs to grab Tall's arm

If Tall decides to sleep diagonally in the bed, they will take up the whole bed and Short will be curled up in a ball against edge of the bed

Tall cannot get into the car after Short has driven it because the seat is too far forward for Tall's legs to fit

Tall's got long arms which are great for snatching

Most clothes/shoes/gloves cannot be shared save for Short stealing tall's long sweatshirts and shirts

sorry if the question is hard to answer!! or, if you simply don’t feel like answering, it’s ok! i am curious bc is a process that occupies a good portion of my thoughts when trying to draw him, and it would be interesting to peek at yours!

thanks 🫶

Hi! Thank you for the question, I'm flattered anyone has take such an interest in my little drawings.

Before getting into the long version, here's the short of it. There is so much media, lore, alternate universes, etc. of superheroes/villains. Since I haven't experienced every piece of Deadpool media, I'm left with a lot of room to be curious and fill in the gaps myself. So that's my main strategy haha, take what I've seen in comics (I've only seen the first movie) and build off of that. It's even better when I'm reading a comic and thinking to myself, "I don't really like how they did this with his character...Wait I can just do whatever I want when drawing!". My whole thing with him is to emphasize the "dead man walking theme". I want him to look corpse-like since character-wise he's always on the edge of death.

But ok, here's the actual nerd stuff that'll take too long to read.

My main inspiration for the Deadpool mask/costume is Ed McGuinness, especially how he drew dp during the sm/dp comics.

For post weapon X Wade, I tend to stay away from the "lumps and bumps" approach. Not only is it tedious to draw, but I don't think it serves his character as well as it could. I like it when he's drawn with some exposed muscle, I think it's cool and gory. It fits his identity to me. Same with all the wrinkles; I imagine his skin is thin and very aged looking. While he's got regenerative powers, maybe his DNA was harmed from Weapon X exposing him to tons of radiation or something. So his body constantly regenerates his skin based on that damaged DNA. I also imagine his bone structure to be very prominent, like his skin is plastic wrapped to his body. He'd have little body fat because his powers burn so many calories. That's why he has that little jagged part protruding on his jaw, I kinda just exaggerated the jaw of a real skull. His skin is tissue paper thin and rips easily, exposing muscle. It's very translucent, so it's easy to see the blue veins underneath.

His bone structure is very "robust " I guess, haha. I typically imagine pre-Weapon X Wade to be like the one from Deadpool Death Annual 1998. He's kinda that generic, tall, manly, blonde-haired blue eyed soldier type. Maybe what pre-serum Steve Rodgers wished his physique was like. Anyway, in that depiction, he has this crooked nose. I liked that because it made him feel tough, scrappier, like he's the type to go head first into a fight. It kinda mimics the broken nose look without contradicting his powers (I can justify the damaged DNA to myself, but not the Weapon X version of a fucked up rhinoplasty).

Ok last thing I promise. I like that physically he has a lot of stereotypically masculine traits. I prefer that because he really doesn't conform to gender norms (or much of anything). To me, Deadpool/Wade is a character who will present himself however he wishes, regardless of the body he was born with or the body that was forced upon him.

Tldr; Marvel characters are my barbies and I'll play with them in my own magic dreamhouse however I want.
