Entry 25: Analyzing Art from Comic Con

This is a piece I got from the last Dallas Comic Con I attended. It's a detailed and realistic look at Captain America. The frontal view shows that the character is taking command. The menacing posture and glare juxtaposes with the bright and vibrant colors of the custom. This perfectly shows that he will fight for a good reason. It looks as though he is strong but the color palette shows that he will use that strength for a good cause. The small patches of bright light also signifies a heroic presence. Comparing these bright lights to the shield, it has more of a darker tone. This shows experience since the shield looks as if it has seen a lot of use. This creates a sense of trust that he will get the job done. The art is designed to give hope for the fake world he inhabits, but also create respect from the real world. The respect derives from the artful techniques that makes it seem like he will stand up for those that need help.
