Reverse Big Bang Art - Captain America/Iron Man

[ataratah]

I went for genderswap for the challenge - nominally movie-verse, for the implied antagonism carried over from the trailer. Who doesn't love a love-hate relationship, right?





I think the biggest challenge was figuring out a female version of the Captain America costume. I took some inspiration from the Captain America back up dancers from the movie, because I had to figure... super hero or no, in the forties? A PR machine is probably going to stuff a girl in a short skirt if it possibly can, right? And for reasons that don't need exploring at this juncture, a sailor collar just screams female super hero to me. >_>

Toni was easier. I sort of had this idea that she'd rarely care about her appearance if she was in the lab, or not specifically out to impress, but would still wear red lipstick pretty much all the time, just because.

The Idiot Box
Summary: Stephanie Rogers isn't happy to be in the 21st century, but she's even less thrilled to be on a team with Antonia Stark who seems as spoiled and self-centered as people come. She and Tony do their best to ignore each other, until their mutual insomnia causes them to bond over the new American pastime: late night television watching.
