Average American: … Captain! … the house is on fire and it’s full of starving children!
Captain Baloney: … meh … yeah, I’m waiting for my cheeseburger … might get around to it later
Yeah I know, that was my friend Captain Israel
“No, mother, it’s just the Northern Lights!”
Oh, I thought he was sitting in trial at first glance, which would’ve been right for modern 'Murica.
Bit strange to post some work in progress of this. Here is the finished one: https://www.reddit.com/r/painting/comments/13gos12/the_captain_me_2023_oil_on_panel/ (yeah sorry, reddit link…)
Ngl I kinda like the ‘empty’ feeling I get from the unfinished version too
Exactly why I saved the unfinished one over the finished one.
Imagine having super strength and that weight as leverage. Dude would be a wrecking ball. Shield in one hand and a sub sandwich in other. Fighting while eating.
This is perfect. Captain Baloney, defender of nap time and late-night pizza, guardian of the couch and the sacred cheeseburger. He looks like he just heard “need a hero” and replied “eh, tomorrow.”
Also low-key love the painterly WIP vibe, it makes it feel like a relatable, exhausted guy in a costume rather than a poster-perfect superhero. Would still hire him to guard my snack drawer though.
Since when did Americans take siesta? Get back to work, your half hour lunch is over!
Is this your painting? If not whose the artist?
The Blob would make a good Cap in whatever idiotic iteration of the multiverse they’re shoving down our throats now is.
When the mob and the press and the whole world tell you to move, your job is to plant yourself like a tree beside the river of truth, and tell the whole world - “No, you move.”
Nothing moves The Blob!
That is very good work wow. The mix of purpose/apathy is beautiful
Still a better posture than Trump
biblically acurate
He is also a fascist. Needs a MAGA hat
