Description
I've been trying to remake old comic book covers lately...this is not one of them. I used two poses from the famous WW 2 photo/statue honoring the US troops who fought at the Battle of Iwo Jima.This was created with india ink, brush and photoshop colors.
The Captain America title/logo was lifted from an old comic book.

Hey Doug!
Wierd to critique you, but here goes.
I think you did a good job of framing the figures with the kirby style explosions which I like alot. Those explosions however have very strong black in them and they almost compete with the figures for my focus because they have such a high contrast between them and the light sky. I might try to diffuse the black in them a little.
There is a tanget between caps arm holding the shield and bucky's arm in front of the shield that sort of looks like cap is reaching thru his shield.
Bucky's pose seems slightly off, the way he is reaching for the flag post doesn't match up quite right, I would have his arm reaching outside his leg instead, and the section of the post that is between his hand and the ground is slightly off, I would go back and re-rule that so it lined up.
I like that you have some planes flying overhead, but I dont know that you need them, it might look cool with just the negative space there.
The only other thing that bothers me is the cap in the logo sort of standing on the flag from the inage. I like the flow of the flag drawing you down to the figures, so I would either remove that little cap in the logo, or maybe tear up the flag like it had been shot or something so that that little cap wasnt overlapping it.
All in all i dig it, I especially like that your using that iwogima pose, and the classic cap costume is always sweet!!
Hope that helps! e.deviantart.net/emoticons/s/sā¦ " width="15" height="15" alt="

Fantastic take on that oh so famous WW2 photo. Great work!
Only niggle for me is the way the base of the flagpole below Bucky's hand seems a bit disjointed from the rest of it. But that's probably jealosy talking.

No...you're spot on! I need to correct that as well. Good eye!
Thanks for the kind words.

Nick,
I thought the same thing after I colored it! I will change that! That's something that must be thought out when you have two characters in close proximity both waring with the same color gloves.

This Looks Good like the last Cover I saw...My little nit pic is the way Cap is holding his shield and Bucky's hand/arm placement...at first glance looks like Caps got his arm threw the shield

Mr. Baron- EXCELLENT work- I love the color scheme of the whole thing! Cap and Bucky as they were meant to be seen-
Oh, and it's Iwo Jima.
