Major Victory

Thank God for this drawing. I wasted so much time this morning I thought I wouldn't get to do something like this today. The semester's winding down, so today I don't have any scheduled activities at all. Usually I can reasonably manage my time, but for some reason this morning I was trapped at my computer after devotions and breakfast. Anyway, this is Major Victory. He's the second character I knew I wanted to be an After Avenger. He's pulled directly from Marvel comics too, though I changed his design somewhat. In the comics he was one of the original 1969 Guardians of the Galaxy (very different from the Guardians we know today). He was experimented on so he could survive a trip to another solar system in suspended animation, but found society had passed him during his trip and already formed on the planet before he got there. Eventually he traveled back to his past, the present Marvel universe at the time.
I felt like adding more details, but I remembered what happened to Other Guide and I stopped myself. My drawing here would still need to be added too (obviously) if there was ever a live-action movie of this. I drew a lot from astronaut suits and some from, unsurprisingly, Captain America's costume in Winter Soldier. I'm actually very satisfied with how I got his head armor to look. The shield was by far the hardest thing to do, and it still doesn't look right. Trust me it was much worse. In my version, he represents the many, many post-apocalypse science fiction movies that have come out recently. Since Captain America came to the present from the past, I thought it would be interesting if this version of Major Victory came from a post-apocalyptic future to our time. He could even meet himself, like in the comics. That would be cool to see in a Marvel-like movie, and he'd certainly have a unique perspective on the challenges the After Avengers would face.
I already have another After Avenger sort-of queued up. But I want to make some finishing touches to that one, and I wanted to post Major Victory first since he's been waiting since before I first drew Baymax 6. I should probably mention I'm not going to see Endgame till the end of this week.

The unshaded version, again.

God help me to use the rest of my time today to do what you want me to and also to not worry. I'm so happy to have you in my life.
