Oh the atmosphere really adds so much to the emotion in this piece. I really like it!

[ratcreature]

Thanks! I'm glad the atmosphere works for you.

[omens]

oooh. I love the emotion in this!

[ratcreature]

Thank you.

[musesfool]

Oh, lovely.

[ratcreature]

Thanks.

[sephystabbity]

Beautifully painted, and I can really see the emotion shining through.

[ratcreature]

Thanks, I'm glad the emotion comes across.

[roga]

Oh, man, this is so great. I love how carefully Cap seems to be holding Peter, how vulnerable Peter looks <3

[ratcreature]

Thank you! I wanted it to look tender.

[lilacsigil]

I love the rich, dark colours in this, and how that reflects the sombre mood.

[ratcreature]

Thanks!

[melisus]

This piece is very moody and emotional; it's absolutely fantastic. You can really see how small and young Peter looks against Cap. Very nice.

[ratcreature]

Thank you, I'm glad you enjoyed it.

[cricketmask]

This is gorgeous. There's so much emotion in it, and I love the way their bodies are folded into each other. Absolutely beautiful work.

[ratcreature]

Thanks, I'm glad the emotion comes across.

I love the pose and their body language- Peter's hunched shoulders, his clenched hand, Steve's comforting arms - and the way his hand gently cradles Peter's head. The moody colours really add to the emotions in the scene.

[ratcreature]

Thanks! It's good to hear that the body language works.

[mific]

Wonderful - so desperate and moody. For some reason I'm riveted by Cap's hair - Brooklyn's in ruins and he hasn't got s hair out of place. It's so typically him.

[ratcreature]

Thanks! To be honest, I didn't even think about the unlikelihood of tidy hair after a fight. I guess I have so internalized the superhero convention that they only look disheveled when they are really beaten up, and I didn't want Cap to appear injured. Hence the typical well groomed hair *G*.

I know nothing about the fandom but this is a lovely work.

[ratcreature]

Thank you.

[ani_bester]

Lovely work. The dark tones really add to the atmosphere and the body language speaks such volumes! Great job!

[ratcreature]

Thanks! It's so hard to do night well. I'm glad the atmosphere worked for you.

[chrismm]

Oh, this is lovely and just wrenching... So excellent.

[ratcreature]

Thank you!

[dun]

It's so intense and I get caught up in the pic every time I look at it. Colors, backround, bodylanguage, everything works really well in the picture

[ratcreature]

Thank you! It's great to hear it has that effect on you.

[pinkelephant42]

Oh my gosh it's beautiful! I love, love how they're clinging to each other. The dark setting works so well with the city and the BRIDGE and STEVE'S FACE and Peter leaning into him. I'm just going to sit here and flail for a bit. Thank you so much. :D

[ratcreature]

You're welcome. I'm so glad to hear you like your gift!

[pinkelephant42]

I'm just so happy you even drew this because it's an unusual pairing and you did such a beautiful job with it. :D

[ria_oaks]

This is so beautiful and atmospheric - I love the darkness to it and the way they are clinging together. The background is really well done, too, with the haunting image of the destroyed Brooklyn Bridge. And I love Steve's hair. :)

[ratcreature]

Thank you! I'm glad to hear the atmosphere works for you, and that you like the hair. I have a hard time painting hair.
