Day 8

In your own space, post self-recs for at least three fanworks that you created.

1) I'm a big fan of anthologies and collections because putting things next to each other makes it become more than the sum of its parts. So I'm pretty happy with my Happy Birthday Captain America series, which is where every July 4th I draw a comic of Steve Rogers ruminating on the state of America. It's become a good way for me to celebrate July 4th, since it forces me to reflect, as well -- try to find the sources of hope without being blindly patriotic. Now that I've done it 5 times, I feel like it's more of my thing, and not just me sneaking away with Steve's shoes for 2 seconds on his birthday.

2) In a similar vein, I really like contrasting Steve and Bucky before and after each of their transitions, and I like how well Buttons and Golden Boy unintentionally echo each other, even though I drew them more than a year apart.

3) From a purely comic storytelling perspective, I'm pretty happy with how Fascism reframes the reasons for some fanon/canon things in just a few pages.

4) Of all the comics that I've drawn, I think the one that made me have a sad the most is chapter 4 of Cadillac, especially since I had the bright idea of making this bit from the Avengers deleted scene even sadder:


5) This is a collab effort, but basically Maia-Saura fulfilled all of my genderbend!Stucky fantasies and so whenever I am thirsting for some Stella and Bucky shenanigans, I just reread The Amazing Adventures of Two Girls From Brooklyn. I have a thing for crossdressing women and soft boobs, so I ... erm... really enjoyed drawing for it, and also looking at those drawings later. ^^;;;;

6) And in the realm of self-wish-fulfillment, I really like my Genderbend Howling Commandos because I got to draw women in WWII and I learned about WAP. even though the writing is pretty hackneyed (I should never do thought caption boxes)

Oops, I got carried away...

I love your birthday comics - they're really the best of what this fandom is, IMO. So much of what I love about it in a small space!

<3 <3 <3 ::blushes:: thank you!

Usually I'm like 100% Bucky Barnes stan, but I do enjoy wearing the Steve Rogers hat once a year. Especially since I absolutely adore the spitfire tiny!Steve that is secretly in big!Steve.

Oh wow I remember the Genderbend Howling Commandos, I just didn't make the connection that it was you. That was an awesome comic. <3

awww, thanks! Yeah... I'm the weird fandom person who likes everything about the MCU.... except for the abundance of white men (ahahahaha)
