I do not know who Bucky is but it does not matter as I was distracted by all the NAKED DICK *__*. Who is naked with boots *__*. Oh, Dick. Also LOL in general at that second image and both of them are so so pretty!

Buck is Captain America's plucky boy sidekick :) He and Dick have met up in a few corssovers between Marve and DC :)

I am SO GLAD you liked the nerd-socks (which yes look like boots no worries). I thought they were perfect for Dick. And Thank you, I'm glad the both look pretty!

The first one is really beautiful, but the second one! ROBIN-BUCKY AHAHAHAHA PERFECT. I'm so impressed that you did two and they're both so good.

[ani-bester.livejournal.com]

Thank you so much! I had so much fun with both of these and I'm so glad the second one is so amusing!!

These are great! I'm absolutely loving the multidimensional coloring you did in the first one. The layers of colors really make it vibrant and fun.

The second one... is hilarious. And Dick's eyebrows are fantastic.

[ani-bester.livejournal.com]

Oh gosh thank you so much. I enjoyed layering the colored pencil. It had been a long time since I'd worked with 'em and it was a lot of fun.

I'm glad the second one did what it was meant to do, amuse :)

These are great! I love their legs, they're so shapely! And the colors are spectacular! I like how he's laid out with Steve standing over him in the first one. And the plants are great! And the second one...as distracting as the guys are, I especially love that skyline. The purple with the yellow.. it just looks really pretty.

[ani-bester.livejournal.com]

Thank you so much, I really liked the emotion in the first one. I'm glad it worked for you as well.

And OMG thank you for commenting on the skyline because that took the longest out of the second picture, so I'm so glad it is appreciated :)

The mix of colours used are so beautiful. I adore it in the first one, and the second one is good fun. I love their muscles, too. ^__^

[ani-bester.livejournal.com]

Thank you so much. And YAY! The muscles work. I'm not yet that confident in drawing comic book style muscles.

I adore the coloring in both these pics so much <33

[ani-bester.livejournal.com]

Thank you so much. Coloring is something that is always lots of fun for me!

[scribbleomania.livejournal.com]

This is awesome! I really love your use of color in both of these. I totally cracked up at Bucky mocking Dick, it's so perfect. They'd make a fantastic couple, wouldn't they?

[ani-bester.livejournal.com]

Thank you so much! I had so much fun with both of these, and I'm so glad you enjoyed Bucky's mockery of Dick's short pants LOL.

'm honestly surprised there's not more Bucky/Duck, to be honest.

Love the multi-faceted colouring on the first one, it builds so much shape and atmosphere to the slumbering Bucky!

And the second one ahaahahaahahah oh Dick, don't pretend you don't totally love it! XD

[ani-bester.livejournal.com]

Oh Dick is surly flattered in his own way :)
yay for color love. It' had been so long since I'd used colored pencils and I really had a heck of a lot of fun with this.

Oh wow, so much to say about each piece! I don't know where to begin, other than thank you, mystery artist!

The first piece is adorable and endearing, and I love Steve's little present. A chocolate bar. Of course! It seems simple and obvious, but yet... I dunno, to me it's just so war-time. There's also that mix of soldier and innocence in Bucky. He looks like just a young and innocent child asleep, but then you see the knife he's holding and you realize that he's not quite a simply innocent kid.

And the second one: Dick/Bucky, OMG thank you! I can't tell you how much I love this pairing and the dynamic they'd have. Bucky's Robin costume is wonderful and creative and I'm sure Dick loves it just as much as I do.

Finally, as others have said, your mix of colours is fantastic and vibrant!

[ani-bester.livejournal.com]

You are very very welcome! I had a blast with these.
And that's exactly what I was thinking with the chocolate. What could be given during war. And I wanted Bucky to have the knife because it would make sense to sleep with one. And I liked the idea of Steve watching over a sleeping Bucky.

And you are SO WELCOME! It was fun coming up with an interactive scenerio between the two. And I went with the teasing because the both to so much of it!

I'm so glad you like it! Merry Xmas!

The first one made my heart hurt a little, and then the second one cheered me immensely. *g*

[ani-bester.livejournal.com]

Awesome then they both did what they were meant to do and I'm so happy. Thank you!
