Winter Soldier Comic Book Cover

 It's funny how inspiration comes when you're not looking for it. One of the recent posts by @lovrothesupernaut (photo by @filip.pavic) provided just that and then some - a challenge to draw a superhero by imitating comic art and create a fake comic book cover. 😉👍

They're supposed to be "stylized and simplified drawings", but there was nothing simple in trying to get that look. Plus it was time consuming because it's not a style I'm used to and there was a lot of trial and error. 🤪 But still, I hope I managed to get the likeness... to some extent. 🤷‍♂️ I kind of stopped reading comic books over the years, but it was both interesting and nostalgic to get back to them this weekend while exploring ways to make this fake cover.

As for the reference model and his post, Lovro the Supernaut is one of my favourite cosplayers. Not just because he cosplays Marvel characters (Winter Soldier, Gambit, Quicksilver, Deadpool), but his props and other cosplays (for example the Plague Doctor or Star Wars Rebel Pilot) turn out so professionally looking like something you'd expect to see in movies. Plus he's an award-winning cosplayer you can meet, greet and talk to at numerous Croatian and regional sci-fi and fantasy conventions. If you're into cosplay, as well as looking for ideas how to make various props, be sure to visit his Instagram profile and his other socials.
