Last go at a Captain America redesign for Project: Rooftop.

I tried to blend the ideas I had from both previous designs. Threw in some old school Hitler-punching for context.

Wish me luck!

You're top notch in theme redesigns, this vintage look really fits caps origins.

Really, you can't go wrong with a Hitler punch.

Cool jacket. But the shield doesn't look all patriotic. "/
And without the jacket he looks like a medieval knight, no offense.
But good luck! :D

I know what you mean. I will try and explain my thinking:

For better or worse, this version of the Captain doesn't use a vibranium shield anymore, so I thought I'd take the focus off of that by downplaying the colorful iconography of it. Bucky has the old shield. This one is simply a very strong titanium alloy or something.

And the medieval knight look is very understandable-- I was thinking in that direction with the design. It bothered me that Captain America wears skin-tight scale mail as a costume. Even ultra-light scale mail wouldn't work like that. And, like our medieval forebears, the flexible armor only works so well. He still needs a helmet to avoid getting his brain pulped by a heavy impact.

Haha, thanks! I rarely draw Hitler, but it's just as well, I suppose.
