My Super-Heroes (and foes) oil portrait...

Sometimes I don't find the right face right away, I'm spinning around.

That's interesting because it reminded me of comics from the 60s-70s as opposed to the recent movies (which I am not fond of in casting, especially for the heroine characters). When I think of the characters, I do not think of movie personalities.

Not unless it is a whimsical What If? situation like "what if Jacqueline Bisset was the Scarlett Witch?"
Occasionally when I watch old tv shows or movies
I may see someone (i.e. Carole Lynley) and think of Gwen Stacy.

When I think of them from comic memories--the type of faces you choose are closer to the idea that I imagine.

I was thinking how many more tickets they would sell if the Black Widow looked like your versions.

Thank you very much! I'm staying posted, even if I no longer collect busts or statues.

It doesn't bother me because when I watch the MCU movies, I always imagine that it's a parallel universe very close to the comics characters, but not necessarily similar.
The MCU offers a version of Black Widow or Captain America, they are excellent actors who have nothing more to prove, but hen I draw, it is my memories of reading to which I refer, and to the magnificent artists who have succeeded one another in drawing them.

I wonder what face they would have if I made them realistic. Obviously, that's what I have in mind, and my version will not necessarily be what others will have in theirs.

Thanks! Maybe because of the eyes with blue pupils very marked with black?
