Description
I had this idea of a post apocalyptic Captain America and needed to paint him. I even thought about doing a series of these with different super heroes in the wasteland theme. Two of my favorite subjects mixed. I was trying some desaturation things on this one and playing with warm and cool (my favorite color contrast). This was a fun one.Oils on Masonite

I like the concept of this and think it would be awesome if Marvel did an "Old Man Logan" type post-apocalyptic story that instead focused on Cap. I know he was featured in that "Earth X" alternate universe storyline where he had aged, yet still that was years ago and I could see them doing something similar, yet new with him years later.

I thought for a moment in the thumbnail that he was showing off his mid-drift. Abs of Freedom indeed.

Cool. Looks like you have a spice of Frazetta in there with that pyramid shape. At least that is what struck me right off the bat.

Hi Christopher, big fan, your marker renderings, out of this worls man...i love this piece, even though i would have inverted the tonal mood, cold tones for cap ( something about the red uniform just takes me away from the character) and warmer for the ambiance, for some reason i imagine the wastelands as a warmish place, any way, i love your concept idea and i wanted to ask you if you would mind if i take it and produce some versiones of my own????, of course i would share all of them with you , i just love the idea!!!

Awesome, very cool. Really like the postural and slight exaggerations in proportion, creates a very unique style..
Now the picky part if me has one thing to say. The American Flag should go the other direction. The stars always start from the frontal plane of the individual. It's a tradition that goes all the way back to Calvary Days..

Hmm..good to know. I didn't think of it while I was working. Originally, it was just a patch of leather or something sewn onto his shoulder and I later changed it to a flag. Maybe that's why I didn't think to research it first. Thanks for the kind words.

Not sure about the orange, but the rest is awesome!

Hehe, I love orange. Especially the way it plays off of blue.

This kind of makes me think of the old "where are non-mutant heroes in the X-Men anti-mutant sentinel supremacy bad future". I can imagine Captain running around, securing supplies for civilians and fighting bandits in the wasteland, kind of like a more empathic Kenshiro.

I don't know who Kenshiro is, but the rest made sense heh. Thanks!

The main character of Fist of the North Star. He wanders the wasteland looking for his rival and kidnapped girlfriend and kills evil people and helps good ones in his way. You may know him as the "you are already dead" or the "ATATATATA" guy.
He looks like that

Oh yeah..I loved that old anime. Forgot his name. Cap isn't quite on his level heh.

The way you did the mix of warm and cool colors really works the mood and atmostphere. The body language all points to the Six piece. From the curve of the hip to the direction of the scarf, I kinda wish the gun was going off just to activate the space a lil more. But it looks great, nice work.

The "Six piece"? Thanks for the kind words.

Haha, sorry I have odd slang sometimes. It's the Revolver I was speaking of.

Very interesting take on the character and nice textures.

Love it. You're getting more moody which is really cool to watch.

Thanks. Yeah, it seems to work out that way when you can desaturate the colors enough. I tend to go brighter on my colors, but when I'm focusing on not doing that, I can get to work heh.

Please make this a set of images. Love the concept and look
