omg I can see how it can look like that!! i wasn't entirely sure what to have my pfp be when I started this and now I think i'm too used to it to change 😭

but yes!! them both in a sketch thing from last feb:

Without the context, it still somehow feels so homesick. He is always alone. Almost always muzzled, always with this blank or tired expression. Never really in the same spot. The characterization is immaculate with nothing but the visuals.

It’s so so good, don’t even get ME STARTED on the art itself.

thank you so so much for this 💙 i’m really glad you see that in my art!! and i really enjoy how you’ve described all of it

i think my ultimate goal with a lot of those pieces is to grant him some level of freedom, but the fact it’s always just a glimpse of it (and we as audience know it) tends to bring a lot of that melancholy in. & i really enjoy kind of figuring out a balance in that (or sometimes unintentionally ending up with it lol)

his winter soldier days break my heart to think about so i often use art to get through that, yknow— putting him in picturesque places and having something beyond everything else. even if it’s just for a moment.

and i’m going to casually recommended this beautiful beautiful fic again that's inspired by one of my pieces because it captures everything so incredibly well

THANK YOU!! I appreciate that so much!!
