when-it-rains-it-snows: Commission for helenawayne!  From Hawkeye #6, Clint out in front of his building, saying everything he needs to by standing totally silent in the snow.  (Damn how I love this comic.) Also: this was commissioned as a gift for a roleplayer to use. You wouldn’t take a guy’s birthday present, would you?  Of course not, you’re awesome like that.  Still, just so we’re clear, Please do not use this for RP. The bruised knuckles make it.

when-it-rains-it-snows: Okay so do you remember the time that Matt Fraction described Clint and Kate’s relationship as ‘The Avengers (UK) of The Avengers (US)’? Obviously I thought that was pretty badass, and had a jolly time drawing dapper-as-fuck!Hawkeyes.. it just took me awhile to figure out how to get Clint and Kate rocking a believable Steed and Mrs. Peel vibe. (If Clint’s suit looks familiar, congratulations, you get the other half of the joke.) Starry-eyed gratitude to an archer (yes, that one specifically :D ) who very graciously provided reference images and general archery consultation. Seriously, this was way less cool before I begged him for input.  Thank you, Archer! Musical inspiration: Tank!  (yeah, no, I couldn’t resist)  And if you’ve read all the way to the bottom and are still confused, Hawkeye.  Matt Fraction.  David Aja.  It’s a thing.  Read the thing.  Thank me later.
