The First Avenger is back - 10+ icons of "The Winter Soldier" for icons10in20

[sandy79]

Next to "Civil War", "The Winter Soldier" is, hands down, my favorite movie out of the whole MCU. Why? Because it's not your classic superhero movie. Sure, it has enough elements we know and love from this genre (the sidekick, the villains, the love interest,...), but Joe and Anthony Russo made a quite genius move to put all these elements into a story that reminds more of a political thriller than of a superhero movie. Subsequently, we see our hero, Steve Rogers, only two times in his costume - the more time we see him in civilian clothes. This set was made for Round 3 over at icons10in20. Enjoy!

thank you!

Oooh, the close crop on Eyes is intense! Text on Cheek is my favorite, just a great composition!

Hee, and I love how easily recognizable Steve's smile is in Mouth. :D All the Hair ones are great, too.

[sandy79]

thank you!

Yeah, and it's the only one (sans the very last scene in the Smithsonian) where Bucky's eyes are both visible XD For Text On Cheek, I had several colorings prepared, but when I put the text on this one, I instantly loved it so much I didn't even tried the other ones. And Steve has a very recognizable mouth ;) Hair turned into a competition between Natasha and Bucky XD

These are very beautiful.
I love the coloring of lips and the soft tone in protagonist *_*

[sandy79]

thank you!

[dariaw]

These are great!

Faves are Lips, Profile, Protagonist, and Alts #2, 4, 5, 6, 7,8, 9, 10, 16

[sandy79]

thank you!

Alt #16 is labeled with "Steve the human turtle" XD Amazing how much that man can fold in on himself *stares in awe*

[lokifan]

Gorgeous! *nabs Pairing* Rotated Sideways is clever!

[sandy79]

thank you! Feel free to grab whatever you like! And Rotated was pretty much the first I knew when I finally got to read the themes - comparing Bucky pre-War to the Winter Soldier had to be made!

how wow is lips? amazing, Darling ♥
And text on cheek is amazing. Wonderful textwork (I haven't seen that much text around your Icons, so that's a nice suprise)
And lovely picturechoice for haar.

Amazing Set, Sweetheart!

[sandy79]

thank you, Darling!

Yeah, I usually reserve textwork for larger artworks, unless the challenge calls for it. I'm always unsure if it's still readable when I resize the pic (as I put the text on it when it's in original size). But apparently, here I did right!

As I wrote in another comment, "Hair" became a competition between Tash and Bucky - whenever I thought I had the perfect pic, another one turned up, usually with the other character on it XD

nice set!

I really like frame, and that protagonist icon is very nice

your first three bucky alts have great cropping too, as well as lips

[sandy79]

thank you!

[abyss_valkyrie]

Gosh,I love some of the alts you have for eyes-the 1st & 3rd alt especially!Text on cheek,pairing,protagonist and rotated are my faves in this set!

[sandy79]

thank you!

And I even tossed some more of Bucky's eyes into the dump bin ;) Seb has such intense eyes, but in this movie they're hardly unobstructed.

[delacourtings]

i love the text in text on cheek, and the crops on pairing, protagonist, and villain. i also really like alts 1, 4, 5, 10, & 16. all of these have such nice, bright, natural colorings!

[sandy79]

thank you!
