Snowflake Challenge #6

Challenge #6: In your own space, Create something.

I decided to doodle one of the AU scenarios that I've mentioned in challenge #3 as wishing they existed: An MCU Captain America/Calvin & Hobbes fusion. I decided Steve would have a normal teddy bear rather than a Bucky Bear, but in his fantasy he would be Captain America, and Bucky would be a bear, who is wearing Bucky's blue coat, rather than any Winter Soldier design.

This is so cute. Thanks for sharing

[ratcreature]

I'm glad you enjoyed it.

[musesfool]

Adorable!

[ratcreature]

Thank you.

THIS IS SO COOL. I love your details and shading so much! This sounds like a cool AU.

[ratcreature]

Thanks, glad you like the idea and the sketch.

I have often thought that Steve's mom must have been long suffering like Calvin's parents when he was small, if in slightly different ways. She'd worry about his fragile health and such, while he'd get up to all sorts of reckless shenanigans. And Steve would probably try to be good, not destructive but still cause chaos.

THESE ARE SO CUTE. *gets a grip* seriously, so adorable. i love steve's suspenders, and of course bucky is wearing his catfa coat and not the winter soldier's, uh, leather.

[ratcreature]

Glad you like it! And yeah, the coat is a better fit for a childhood companion. A classic sidekick!Bucky look. :D

I LOVE IT!

[ratcreature]

Thank you!

On the one hand, I love that Bucky's just white-knuckling it in the top sketch, and on the other, I am not sure that I am emotionally prepared to handle the tonal shift between movie!Steve crashing the Valkyrie and Calvin!Steve acting it out! o.O

I love it, though. And your lettering on the box is perfect.

[ratcreature]

Well, I like to imagine that with Bucky still there, the outcome of the whole thing will just be better, and Calvin!Steve crashing it will not be worse than Spaceman Spiff crashing his ships in his adventures only he crashed to foil the Red Skull.

Naww, love it! <3

[ratcreature]

Thank you.

[marinarusalka]

That’s adorable.

[ratcreature]

Thank you. Glad you enjoyed it.

[silveradept]

That's adorable and I love the contrast.

[ratcreature]

Thanks. The juxtaposition of the imaginary and the real is one if the things I enjoy most with Calvin & Hobbes.

[silveradept]

It was a testament to the ability that Bill Watterson had to sell the imagination spots by drawing them in the style that would be expected of that kind of story, were it in comics, and then return to his own style when reality inevitably intruded.

[runpunkrun]

You really captured that here. It's super effective and creates all kinds of feelings in me about Steve and Bucky's relationship.

[ratcreature]

Thank you. I'm glad it works for you.

Aww ...

[ysabetwordsmith]

That is so adorable.

Re: Aww ...

[ratcreature]

Thank you.

[lif61]

This is such a fun doodle!

[ratcreature]

Than you.

[mific]

Aw, love them!

[ratcreature]

Glad you like it.

[gwyn]

Oh gosh, this is absolutely adorable! I love it, and the thought you put into it.

[ratcreature]

Thank you, I'm glad you enjoyed it.

It's too bad I have zero talent for stories. This fusion would be so cute. Sarah the long suffering single mom with her creative and reckless child Steve being a constant force gir chaos, despite wanting to do good (generally). Bucky Bear the exasperated sidekick, who despite complaining about what he is getting dragged into, is still game to back up Steve's adventures. Though of course Bucky, just like Hobbes would also enjoy the tea parties with the neighbor girl, Peggy, and her more sensible adventure play...

[minnaway]

So cute!!!

[ratcreature]

Thank you.

[spikedluv]

This is ♥ I love it! I wrote Bucky as a (sometime) wolf once, so it's not a leap to imagine him as a bear. *g*

[ratcreature]

Thank you, I'm glad you enjoyed it.

I picked a bear because in A-Babies vs. X-Babies, Bucky is Steve's teddy bear, named Bucky Bear, so (with a stretch) there's a canon basis, and of course it's popular in fandom. And teddy bears are such a classic toy.
