What I Drew Sunday, April 28th – Top 3

Here are the top 3 liked pieces from the “Marvel Day” edition of WSIDT:

#1 - Vision and Wanda: suggestion by @jonmpeterson

Wanda and Vision eating spaghetti a la Lady and the Tramp. Not yet having seen “Endgame,” I’m guessing that this does not happen in that film. Maybe it will in their Disney+ series.

For the non-comic literate, the couple would have a couple of kids. It’s complicated. Whether or not the iteration realized in the Marvel Cinematic Universe has developed either naturally or satisfyingly is perhaps debatable, but then romance isn’t what the MCU is about. 

As for Lady and the Tramp, the classic animated feature may be the Disney company’s first romantic comedy and may have stood as the only animated rom-com for decades until Tangled. Feel free to discuss.

So mashup the couple with the iconic scene and I give you this. NOW, they’re in love. Tony, start the music.

#2 - Stan Lee Cutting Thor’s Hair: suggestion by @bscomics

I’m hesitant to merely recreating a scene directly from film or television, but that’s pretty much what this is taken from Thor: Ragnarok. I just changed the framing (camera placement) for a better two-shot. And there wouldn’t have been much point to put Stan in civilian clothes like, say, a comfortable sweatshirt.

I think that I could have pushed Thor’s expression to be something more terrified. 

I considered and abandoned a layout that  squeezed in Thor’s response of “Please, no.” I opted for the story telling to play in the readers’ minds to its natural conclusion, rather than underscoring it with the obvious.

I also considered and abandoned widening the shot to include the wrist restraints that prevent Thor from defending himself as depicted in the movie. In proper visual storytelling, it’s an important omission. But I favored, concentrating on the expressions.

#3 - Tigger as Black Panther: suggestion by @elijones94

This is the denizen the Hundred Acre Woods dressed and the Wakandan warrior-ruler. Rather than the full-face-covering mask, he’s wearing something more akin to a kid’s costume.

Does it read well? Without fingers to pose as claws, a typical Black Panther pose seems pointless (pun!). 

Maybe he needs a big picture of Black Panther on his chest for clear branding that is found on halloween costumes in the 1960s and 70s?

And what to call the mashup creation? Black Pouncer?

And the remaining 7 of the 10 drawn:

Dazzler

Toddler Mystique and Magneto (Father’s Day scene)

The Falcon

Spider-Man and the DMV with his Spider-Buggy

Sgt. Fury

The Punisher
